Aeternum Keep, Meeting room.
After Sai Mies leaves the room alone, the atmosphere in the room turned cold, silent, and eerie feeling crept up in every single of the Maidens in the room."Sareen, Selie….".(Elijah)Elijah finally opened her lips calling out 2 names, nodding at hearing their names, both of them disappeared from where they were standing and reappeared beside the main door blocking it from opening. Radian who sat beside Elijah also stood up and starts wearing her knuckle duster on her right fist."Juliet, Mot, Anna, Reven, Colleen...explain…".(Elijah)This five Maidens was the one that shows the tinge of loss in the meeting a few moments ago. Unlike their beloved master who decided to ignore their behavior, Elijah and the 4 sisters weren't thinking the same. The calm and loving elder sister's image was no longer there instead, a raging madness flares up in Elijah eyes glaring at the 5 maidens."Sister&he5 days after the surgery, Aeternum General Hospital 2nd Floor VIP Ward."Try to move your fingers slowly…good, looks like everything is functioning normally as it should….Rafaela, make sure to monitor Elijah's conditions and developments as she comes for her regular inspections..".<CLAP! CLAP!>"Congratulations Sister Elijah!!…Congratulations Mr.President!..to gave birth to such amazing miracles, our Aeternum was blessed to have you!…". (Bar)The whole wards were full of Maidens and several other people in the hallway, waiting to hear and witness the full result of Elijah's successful limb transplant. The operations were successful, and the limbs working normally, also thanks to the healing spells the recovery process which is normally taken at least 3 months was shortened to 3 days. Everyone was celebrating, maidens were sobbing with tears of joy, civilian were singing and cheering from within the hospit
"Sir, I don't see why we have to inform the Duke or anyone for the feat we've done…". (Mina)Sitting inside my office, Mina appeared to be dissatisfied as to why I had to inform the duke and to delay the news that I have handled the bandit's situations."We don't have to…but, all this is just a politics...Noble like their pride so much,..it's wasn't news that the duke has been trying to exterminate the bandits for so long…but, we have done it almost effortlessly….if we just come strolling and say 'hey guys! it's done' that would rub them the wrong way….."."So all this just us doing them a favor of saving their face?…". (Mina)"Yes…remember, the duke has high approval among his subject….we need to use that, we need the duke territory for business…with this way, we not only say to the Duke's that we are not a force to mess with, but we also appeal to the public that we are a friendly
"I always thought flying were impossible..who would've thought it was actually this simple…". (Bar)"This is just one of the example Bar,….there's even a flight vehicles that capable to brought hundreds of people flying across a continent…."."Really?..that would be amazing to see, I can't wait to see them sir…". (Bar)After 3 days I've announce that I would be bringing a team to go dungeonering, we finally left the Aeternum capital. Using one of my Helicopter, 5 of us were flying across the large desert called the Big Nothing, Elijah said this desert were to deadly for anyone to wander in, and for thousands of years no one dares to enter it. Actually I already passed through the whole desert to reach Aeternum, it's true that it's dangerous. The last time I came across a scorpion mix with lion that as big as a 5 ton lorry, I still remember that it taste like shrimp."Sir w
<BANG!!>"Stay calm…take your time to aim and pull the trigger..just like that…BUKK!!!…".Dungeonering proceeding as swiftly as it can, we still have a few bumps here and there. But, it wasn't a big problem, instead, I take this time to further instilled my knowledge in using a firearm masterfully to my other teammates. The sword, I brought with me was rendered to be less useful in this expeditions, mainly because all the monster in this dungeon was undead, zombies, skeletons were all that roams in this dungeon, and apparently destroying the heads were extremely effective. I tried to use swords by cutting the undead to pieces, it works but takes a lot of works, even when I decapitate the neck clean it's still moving. That's when I decided to just either punch the head off or smashing them on the wall or floor, it's possible because the undead was deadly slow."I remember reading about these firearms in an old book about Dwa
A long time ago, deep in the mountains of Dwermer, in the Valley of life, lies the most magnificent City of Dwarven called Dwertur. It's the large Dwarven city, a hub of industrialism, Human, Demi-Human, Beastmen, Elves visits the city every day, every year. Be it weapons, magical items, anything you desire you can get them in Dwertur. I was one of the residents of Dwertur, I came from a family of a carpenter, but unlike my parent and brothers, I was different. Building things never brought me joy, what fuels my passions was entertaining.Every day I would go down to the shopping districts, observing people, watching the nearby bards sang a tune, and reading books at the books store. Years passed, I finally gathered the courage of performing in the public, sometimes I play a tune, and sometimes a perform a puppet play, little by little people recognize me and my talent. The laughter of children always echoed in the plaza when I perform, by the age of 35, everyone in the c
"T.A.S didn't dungeon has to have Dungeon core?..all the game and novels have that…why did they called it Anchor?..".[A standalone dungeon core does exist, but it's rare…only 50% of dungeon in all Fantasma have one…normally, a dungeon appeared due to abnormal accumulations of pure mana in one concentrated place...the result of that accumulations will form a standalone dungeon cores and should it not able to form a full apparent dungeon core, the energy/mana will be absorb/enter a host, thus came the term 'anchor' aka Lord…and normally the type of dungeons were determine according to the Anchor type, seeing that this dungeon were Undeads attributes..I conclude that the anchor is an Undead and probably a high level one..could be a Wraith Royals or Liches…]. (T.A.S)"i think I got a theories how the undeads dungeon happened, it probably happen because the mana accumulations happen after the fall of t
"So, Undead bloods can be use in a lot of stuff, purifying stuff, curing curse, killing vampires and werewolves, even used as a foul magic main ingredients…also, the blood quality and prices depends on the monsters rank, even 10ml of the lowest rank zombie blood cost 1 gold….is that what you were saying?.."."Yes…".(Bar)The draining process already done by now, Bar and Rafaela was in the process of storing all the 30 blood bags (30 Liter). the Zombie lord is still alive but barely as it's body was nothing more than a skin sack."Then why aren't you collecting the bloods back then?…we killed almost 20 zombies on our way here…that's 600 liter at least, we just let 1 platinum and 800 thousand gold coins flying out of our hands….<Sigh>…".Realizing how much money I could get by just draining bloods and how much I just lost, it made me depressed."It's okay
Have you ever seen a human sized Beaver? That talk, walk on 2 legs and act like a ninja. It's extremely cute and funny at the same time, that is the scene that unfold before me right now. Though our appearance in this Beaver and Mole settlement was kind of uninvited, in fact from the look of it, they were quite hostile."Sir….it seems we were uninvited here..".(Bar)Gulping in a cold breath, Bar and the others slowly get into positions, Rafaela even signalling to us that the Beaver ninja already starts to encircle us."Well everyone could see that Bar....Ehem, Hello there friend…can we talk for a moment?..".[I don't think they will listen to you sir….ohh,here they come..].(T.A.S)Though for anyone else this Ninjas were quite hard to detect, to me I can see,smells and hear every single one of them.

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
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
