The day of Shark Region Governor elections results were finally here. Just as it was hype for days. The receptions of all Aeternum and all the neighbour country about the elections has become the main focused of these day topic, all across the Central Continent that have a radios in their possessions listened to the broadcast with the feeling of anticipations and nervous, although most of the radio listeners were not even the citizen of Aeternum. Many of the royalties and noble family, decided to empty out their schedules only to stay at home and listened to the live radio broadcast.
“Ladies and Gentlemen..Good Morning to all of our listeners, from inside Aeternum and outside, in this glorious and monumental day..The Independent States Of Aeternum, will announced, the elected Governor of Aeternum Second Region, Shark Region..it’s an important roles, that demands dedications, loyalty, patriotism and most importantly leaderships..
The Airship that set’s off from the Aeternum military Aero Port speed ups as it was on the air, heading towards the Kingdom of Eloesa, carrying 1000 of Aeternum soldiers, 80% of the soldier that made up of the entire battalion were mostly the newly out of the training soldiers that barely has a full experience of a war, all were brought from the Shark Region border base. Thankfully the remaining 20% were fully battle hardened soldier that has already went through many mission and even the Alliance war, Also with Aeternum modern weaponry and vast combat tactics this 1000 men and women will surely be able to make a changed on the battlefield.“Major Brandon…are you sure that 1000 soldiers is enough?…I don’t mean to be condescending, but perhaps you have been underestimate the Sea Monster strength..”. (Duchess Kolarova Qoon)Sitting inside the cafeteria hall of the Ai
The situation in Kingdom of Eloesa, Eloesa City after Duchess Kolarova and Aida O’neal left the city for Aeternum New City was not getting any better, Instead the Monster Stampede were getting even harsher and much more frequent. The City wall was under a constant attack by Threat Level 3 Sea Monster, all the soldier in the Kingdom were tasked to hold a defensive stance all over the city wall, even Queen Aqeesha Eloesa herself had to leave her throne room to defend the city from being broken through. On the City main gate, Baroness Agneska, who is the City of Eloesa Garrison commander were leading her troop up against a Threat Level 4 Sea Monster, The Kraken. It size were as big as a 5 storey building and as wide as a football field, it already had taken grasp of the land outside the main city gate, with it’s tentacle constantly flung against the top of the city wall, barraging the soldiers with attacks.“Phalanx Formation
"All men battle station!!..Set up perimeter defence at once!!…We got incoming Tier 4 target 500 Meter North!!..Airship Lockdown the target!!..". (Major Brandon)The introduction between Aeternum army and Major Brandon to Baroness Agneska and Eloesa Soldier were very brief. Leaving all Eloesan Soldier and citizen who witness the sudden emergence of 3 large airship and 1000 soldiers who suddenly roped down from the ships and fly straight into an actions. Flooding the city walls amidst the confused Eloesan Warrior, in an instant a few pillbox were set’s up on top of the wall. And as soon as the the pillbox were set’s up, Aeternum soldier immediately kick up to the actions, attacking every single sea monster on sight.“[Major Tier 4 target on lock and ready to fire..].”. (Airship Captain)All 3 Airship contacted Major Brandon who standin
“Sir!..the last remaining monster in the stampede has been killed sir!..”. (Captain Amalie Robulast)Captain Amalie was the second in command of the Aeternum army that were touched down in Eloesa City. She is a new recruit from the New Shark Region, Eastern County, and also the 2ndDaughter of the Robulast Noble family. Blonde haired with 179cm high, and also a Vampire, still she show quite a determinations as soon as she entered the military, and just like the other 800 soldiers on the wall and around the city she was also new in the battlefield.“Great…Maintain the surveillance…regulate our men, make sure they do not get too tense…Every movement is lessen by a notch..but stay on positions…you stay here for now, and don’t leave the wall..I’m going to set up our communications base…”. (Major Brandon
Despite what I’ve wanted, something were never went my way. To be honest at this critical moment I rather focused at only one matter, if I were to put in prioritize, the impending war with the possible calamity that is the Northern Alemia was much more concerning than the Kingdom of Eloesa situations. But on the other hand the possibility of finding oil and the benefits that it would provide Aeternum were too good to pass on.“Bina…how’s the situations at Eloesa City?..Did Major Brandon already started on it’s campaign?..”.“He just arrived there and already started to fortify the city…in terms of progress, he’s already made quite a progress…here’s is his report…”. (Bina)Bina handed me the report her men compiled from Major Brandon, upon touched down he actually drive straight into a battle, then the appearance of tier 4 and above sea mons
My discussion with Elijah, for me trying to convince her that me going to the center of the battlefield is something that are very essentials actually took a whole afternoon, only after then she does agreed with my terms. Still even though she agreed, she still listed a lot of things for me to follow, and one of them were her arrangement that should I fail to deliver any blows to the enemy in my initials attacks. I would immediately attacked and after that, the whole Aeternum army would started to enter the Northern Alemia and started the full scale attack.“How can you agree with this Sister Elijah?…it’s Literally deadly in there..surrounded with enemies right in the middle of enemy forces…<Sigh!>..”(Bina)Sitting around the dinner table, in My mansion, me, Elijah, Andrea, Mina, Rafaela and Bina were all seated and having our dinner as always. At this time me and
The Next day after my discussion with all my ministers, Me and Elijah made a crucial stops at the Aeternum Central Intelligence Agency Department, one of the most secretive branch that I have created along side Elijah, Naturally I made this department to resembles the CIA and also MI6 back on earth. An intelligences agency that houses all kinds of spies that could help Aeternum maintaining it’s security and safety from any nations in central continent.Ever since it’s establishment, Aeternum Central Intelligence Agency has made their mark as one of the most effective deterrence in quelling any threat that Aeternum would faces, the threat from banditry all around Aeternum, eliminating spies from other country, detecting corruption inside Aeternum government branch, Providing Crucial informations in other neighbourhood nations. 60% of the ACIAD agent and workforce were recruited from the Beaver Clan, Thanks to their ninja like culture I deemed they wer
As always for centuries and decades, Sundays has always been deemed as the purest and the holiest days of every weeks, It was glorified as the day when the God of Light descended to bless upon the livings that lives all around Fantasma. Following the beliefs of the Church of Lights, many of the resident and citizen around the central continents attended the Church Mass, to listen to the sermon from the priest and wanting to cleanse themselves from their sins.“Let Us pray to the Light~”. (Father Norman)For the last 30 years Father Norman has been the face of the Church of Twin Stars Town, in Visma nation. He was a fat bald middle aged man in his late 40’s, his bodies were draped with a silks garments, his hand were stacked with golden rings and bangles, even the rosary hanged around his neck were made out of pure golds. For someone who is a pious man, he dressed nothing like it, he bragged that he was a man that is free fr
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
The ministers eagerly pointed out their favorite places from their student years.“Over there—that café served synthetic ice cream you have to try.”“That’s the district where I first saw a holographic opera.”“This is where I spent hours in the central library—eight floors of pure knowledge.”Helen listened with quiet amusement and growing wonder. These weren’t just stories. This was the future.They stopped first at a shopping promenade, where modern boutiques lined the plaza. Aeternum fashion—streamlined, elegant, tailored for form and comfort—was on full display.Helen tried on a pale blue dress lined with iridescent threads that shifted color slightly under different lighting. She admired herself in the mirror. Regal, yet free. She hadn’t felt this light in years.Merrica chuckled as she twirled slightly. “Careful. You’ll make the palace tailors obsolete.”Next came the Aeternum cuisine district. The aroma of spices, imported meats, baked delicacies and exotic fruit blends filled
Meerkat sipped from his flask; eyes gleaming. “Monster cores alone could offset our collective energy reliance on Aeternum’s hybrid reactors. If those dungeons are stabilized and regulated under UNA protocols, we’re looking at a resource boom.”Angela arched an eyebrow. “All that assumes stability. A kingdom can’t regulate dungeons if they can’t regulate their own court.”“Well,” Meerkat said with a shrug, “that’s what Merrica’s for, isn’t it?”They all laughed lightly—because it was true. The man’s reputation preceded him. Hallerus may have signed with a queen, but Merrica had built the bridge.Kaneda leaned forward. “It’s risky, but it’s a calculated risk. We’re not signing blind loyalty here. We’re watching. Evaluating. But make no mistake—if this works, Hallerus becomes the keystone of continental connectivity.”Redwall drummed his fingers on his knee. “I suppose that’s why we’re here. Not to clap at the signing. But to see if the queen is truly changed.”“She is,” Angela said qui
“And now, a major announcement: With the signing complete, Hallerus Kingdom is formally inducted into the United Nation Alliance as its thirty-first member. This marks a turning point—not only for Hallerus, but for the entire Central Continent.”“The UNA, now composed of thirty-one sovereign nations, officially becomes the largest unified alliance in the world’s history—its reach, economic power, and strategic cooperation unmatched by any prior coalition.”“Following this event, Aeternum has confirmed it will begin a nationwide rollout of its Super Stores, factories, and humanitarian infrastructure in Hallerus territory. In exchange, Hallerus will provide critical resources and cultural integration into the alliance structure.”“Public reaction is already beginning to surface—here in New City, spontaneous celebrations have begun in the multicultural districts where former Hallerians live. Meanwhile, markets across the UNA are surging in response to the stability this alliance signifie
“I don’t forget betrayal easily,” I said. “And Aeternum doesn’t forget pain lightly. What happened between us—it scarred people. People who trusted Hallerus. Soldiers who bled for your freedom. Civilians who saw us pulled out overnight.”“I know,” Helen said. “And I accept the cost.”“But,” I said, letting the word hang before softening my tone, “I do respect accountability.”Her eyes met mine. “Then we start again?”“We do,” I said, extending a hand.She took it. Her grip was firm.“We bury the hatchet,” I added. “But let’s be clear—this is not a return to old friendship. This is a new foundation. One built on lessons learned.”Helen nodded. “Agreed.”Merrica exhaled, satisfied. “It’s what both sides need.”I looked at Helen, voice calm. “You have a second chance now. Few leaders get that. Don’t waste it.”She nodded again, quietly this time. “I won’t.”“Good,” I said. “Because your people need you more than ever. Rule wisely. Rule well. Let this alliance be your legacy.”For the fir
“We’ll export more to Hallerus—especially food. You’ll need it. In return, we’ll import more raw ore and minerals. Your mining sector’s still decent, right?”“It is.”“Then let’s grow that. More volume, more jobs, more imports on both sides.”He beamed. “Thank you, my friend.”I smiled back. “You’ll find I don’t just use the whip.”“A carrot, then?”“Always. A balanced hand is how you keep control. Too much punishment, and you push people away. Too much reward, and they forget who they owe.”Merrica nodded slowly. “You’ve become a real ruler.”I stood, offering my hand again. “I became what this world needed.”He shook it. “And I’ll make sure Hallerus becomes what Aeternum can trust.”We stood in silence for a moment longer. The sound of cheering still floated in faintly from the streets below. Somewhere out there, Queen Helen was being paraded through New City—through a modern marvel built from vision and precision. Through a world she couldn’t have imagined a year ago.And now, she’
“They’re… happy to see us?” she asked, disbelief in her voice.Duke Merrica gave her a half-smile. “Some of them, yes. The others are watching. Judging. As they should.”One young woman in the crowd, her hair wrapped in Aeternum’s signature style, waved a small Hallerus flag and called out, “Welcome back! My family’s from Archenport—we’re with you!”Helen felt a warmth rise in her chest. Her lips curled, hesitant, but sincere. She lifted a gloved hand and waved back.Her ministers behind her smiled with relief. The people hadn’t forgotten them. Or maybe… maybe Aeternum’s citizens were willing to forgive, even if their leaders were not.Still, with each new marvel the city revealed, her pride took another small wound.Digital traffic signs shifted in real-time. Elevated walkways moved gently above the streets. Tall towers bore solar glass and climate control systems beyond her comprehension. Everything was clean. Efficient. Vibrant.Hallerus, by contrast, was still struggling to clear
“But that’s not all,” he said. “We’re not just building stores. We’re buying land.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “Land?”Andrea arched a brow. “Personal Aeternum-controlled territory?”“Exactly,” Mies said. “We’ll negotiate the purchase and designation of sovereign Aeternum land within Hallerus. Locations where we will build permanent structures—embassies, farms, factories. Property they can’t touch. Not legally. Not politically.”Andrea crossed her arms. “You want to turn this alliance into territorial leverage.”“I want security,” Mies said. “We trusted them once. And they betrayed us. This time, we own the pieces on the board. If they want access to food and prosperity, they give us something real in return. Soil.”Elijah nodded. “No oversight from their monarchy. No interference. Full extraterritorial jurisdiction.”Mies smiled. “Exactly. We build an Aeternum that lives inside their walls. One they can’t tear down without declaring war.”Andrea added, “And when we build those farms and
“We’re proud Aeternians now,” said one local organizer. “But we remember where we came from. If we can help fix the old home while serving the new one, why not?”In university lecture halls, students debated passionately.“Strategically, re-integrating Hallerus into Aeternum’s economic sphere is a no-brainer,” one economics major argued. “We’ll be able to shape their policies from within.”“But trust is a currency too,” another replied. “If we spend it on the wrong partner again, we might pay more than we think.”In a small park in the east district, a group of Aeternum veterans sat on a bench, medals on their coats, eyes on the screens showing news footage of Andrea’s visit.“You remember that street?” one said, pointing.“I remember clearing it house by house,” another replied. “They cheered us one day. Chased us out the next.”The youngest of them, silent until now, finally spoke.“We gave them peace once. Maybe it’s time to give them a future.”Silence followed. No one disagreed.
