“...I heard…that the Aeternum has been constantly punishing all the Nobles and Lords all over Alemia….those that does not aligned with them…or those that had been deemed oppressive and a tyrant…all of them had the same fates…and that is the gallows….right?..”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)“...Yes it is, My Lord…it was as if they were settling all the old debt…”.(Baron Louis)Slowly make their way to the window that overseeing the Frozen Peak City, the Duke were clearly shaken, but still keep up the composed looks. Self depreciating and fear looming in his voice and eyes, as he too knows that in his reign as a Duke, he is also a tyrant.“.…They probably wont just let us be…right?..”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)“...Maybe.…I can’t say much…I propose a surrender, My lord…although our fate were already pretty much sealed…perhaps if we takes an initiative…maybe..the Aeternum would spare our families?…”.(Baron Louis)“.…at the very least…even if nothing left….the young ones should at least
“..Louis…..Kuh!…Louis?…”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)“For someone who is known as the Coldest Tyrant Duke….you are awfully…dull….”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“Who?….are..you….?..”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)Amidst his wandering thoughts inside a room where everyone were his subordinate, a voice that was alien to him, and on top of it all, speaking to his in an informal manner, Duke Windstorm the 5th that were already in a foul mood, felt the mocking from the voice is very scathing. Moreover it was a voice that he didn’t know, and also the Baron Louis that were supposed to be right behind him, seemed so silence, all of a sudden. With an annoyance in his action and voice at first, the Duke turned around in anger, but as his eyes adjusted to the new scenery behind him, his anger turns to bewilderment.“Who am I?….well….I am sure that by just looking at me….you would definitely know…who am I….Duke Windstorm…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“What?..”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)Right
“You should just surrender quietly when asked…..yet, you fight for your meager power and reign…..so futile….you already saw us in front of your gates…and yet here you are devising a way to repel us instead of opening your gate and welcome us as your new lord……What do it even expect from an old coot like you…a tyrant and a fool….I guess….this is your end……from now on…Frozen Peak City belonged to Aeternum…”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna)“.….…”.(Lord Duke Windstorm The 5th)The Duke of Frozen Peak City were unable to refute anything nor he can even replied to the mocking tone of the Aeternum Colonel before him, as before he even got the chance to even utter a single word, a sword slashed already separating his head from his neck. All that he can do is watched as the Colonel mockingly smiled at his dead corpse. As the duke corpse started to lose it’s warmth, the dulled silenced throne room started to began to bustling with noises. At the same time, a blonde young woman enter
In just a few dozens minutes, the tightly shut city gates of Frozen Peak City were opened wide, and under the cover of the dark night, Aeternum soldiers pours in, and somehow took over the city in a rather quiet and peaceful manners. No fighting or even skirmished happened the City garrisons, guards and even the Duke Windstorm private army were all obediently following the order made by the Aeternum soldiers. It was as if the entire city organization were seemingly agreed before hand that the transfer of power just happened as it should be. As a matter of fact, 90% of the Officers that were incharge of the Duke army and city security all of them already long pledged their loyalty to Lady Mirabella Windstorm, and they all have been agreed to follow her lead, and wanted to changed their service from the tyrant duke to the magnanimous authority that is Aeternum. And once the Duke issues were settled, naturally everything else fall into it’s designated place easily.“My Lady…all the gates
“Well…you might be able to do as you want, agent Mirabella…there is an Observer coming in here…he come with us all…he would be the one that taking the lead in managing and taking control the city for awhile…so you can just go wherever you want…Wow…looks like you both had done a great job!….good~”.(General Eliza)“..Madam!..”.(Colonel Guseppe De Gianna & Lady Mirabella Windstorm)As the two were talking casually, the carefree voice spoke from behind the two, and it was the ever so carefree, General Eliza entering the room with a beaming smile.“At ease, you two…looks like we all can sleep in a proper bed tonight…right Holgun?..”.“yes, Madam..”.(Major Holgun Iron Horn)“Both of you…good work~..we don’t even have to fight at all….with this…our work here had simply done…who would’ve thought that we are able to conquer the entire Northern Region in just a week time…Simply amazing…”.(General Eliza)Casually strolling inside the wide hall, General Eliza were visibly in a happy mood
"I am fine, Madam General... in fact, I feel *refreshed*."Lady Mirabella's voice was steady as she spoke, her gaze unwavering."The Windstorm family has been the object of my hatred since I was a teen. That man killed my entire family because he coveted my beauty and body. Now that he’s dead and the entire family is destroyed... I am beyond happy. I am... *satisfied*."Lady Mirabella's smile widened as General Eliza's concern failed to penetrate her mood. She spoke nothing but the truth of her feelings. Her happiness gleamed like the first light of dawn after a long, sleepless night. The revenge she had long nurtured had finally reached its conclusion, and the success was nothing short of remarkable. Her story was so tragic, so filled with despair, that not a soul could muster sympathy for the dead Duke who had caused it all."Well,"General Eliza replied, eyeing her carefully,"if you say so... but it leaves me with a sour taste to simply hand you the satisfaction of revenge."She p
"Great,". (General Eliza)General Eliza continued, pleased with the transaction."After all, for the Alemia Region, we have a special arrangement. The East and South belong to Countess Jelina, and the West and Central to Duke Oliver. Why shouldn't the North have its own representative noble?".(General Eliza)"Yes, Madam General, I agree,".(Lady Mirabella) Mirabella responded, her voice resolute."The Windstorm family will stand as loyal supporters of the Aeternum government, no matter the circumstances. I will personally ensure it.".(General Eliza)"Good. Now, from today, Mr. Throltyhs here will serve as the Temporary Observer for Frozen Peak City and the entire Northwestern region. Lady Mirabella, prepare to announce the Windstorm family’s surrender at dawn. The Duke is dead, and the transition of power to Aeternum will be official. Good news shouldn’t be hidden for long, should it?"(General Eliza)"Understood, Madam General,".(Lady Mirabella) Mirabella replied, bowing slightly."
What's happening out there?".(Jackie) Jackie, the owner of Jackie’s Bar, asked nervously as the commotion outside grew louder. He calmly wiped a glass, trying to maintain his composure."Yeah,".(Remy)another patron, Remy, chimed in,"why all this noise in the middle of the night? Is there a war?".(Remy)"War? Nah!" .(Labou)Labou, another regular, scoffed."Even if the world burns in war, nothing ever happens here, not with that cowardly Duke in his castle. We’re stuck under his rule forever, doomed to rot in this place.".(Labou)The other patrons grumbled in agreement, resigned to their bleak fate. None of them realized that, in just a few moments, they would be proven wrong. Change was already upon them. Still at time like this when the noise outside were clearly ominous, they should just mind their own business, nothing good will come out if they became nosy for others business, in this Frozen Peak City, it was always like that, the Duke and his men were always known as a tyrant,
This was Aeternum’s first fully televised football match, being broadcast internationally to allied nations like Dukedom of Angela, Kingdom of Zaredon, and Kingdom of Eloesa.Even rival nations, like Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation, watched the match with a mix of jealousy and curiosity.For them, this was completely new.A sport played in a massive stadium. A crowd of thousands cheering in unison. Leaders sitting among their people, showing unity and camaraderie."Is this… what Aeternum entertainment looks like?""No wonder their people love them…"Aeternum was changing the world, one goal at a time.The match continued, New City United pressing forward, desperately trying to equalize. And then—Thirty minutes in—goal! New City United equalized with a powerful shot from outside the box.Forty-second minute—goal! Another attack from New City, and they took the lead.President Mies stood up and cheered loudly with the crowd."Looks like the President is having a great t
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
