The possibility of marriage at this current time, might sounded a little bit to stretch out to me, it was forcing to much. I Know Kingdom of Eloesa is in a tight spot at the moment, but for myself I don’t want to take advantage of that, Rather the expactations that me getting married to the Princess of Eloesa Kingdom, just for them to asked for more help and aid from Aeternum is just to convenient for them.
In exchanged for a woman, I have to help a country with my won wallet. Perhaps the old monarch in Fantasma might think that this is feasible and perhaps even to their liking, but for me who built Aeternum under the modern thinking and institutions, Such action does not only will affected the country current reputations but also adding an unnecessary burden to ourself.
“Marriage…is out of questions for me…just like I have said before…before we all got official…
New City is doing quite well, and also our Internal Audit Department also has been active to monitored the corruption issues, public safety were well taken care of, Also by now Aeternum Royal Military has already reached the mark of 40 000 seasoned and fully trained soldiers, the constant Dungeon diving session and also dungeon subduing mission has made, Aeternum soldier extremely experienced at combat. Aeternum full military might is already 150 000 men and woman strong, but only 50 000 were considered seasoned and elitist, the remaining 100 000 people were mostly new recruits and were still under training. But even so, the standard of Aeternum Army is far higher than any nation in Central Continent, even the recruits level can already be considered as full fledge soldier in any other country.“<Knock!..Knock!..>…Mr.President…Madam Governor Jelina is here..should I let her come in?..”. (Major Sareen)
As of now, Kingdom of Eloesa has no more funds or even resource that to them, they considered valuable. Right now they know, even at their ruined states, if they don’t want to be wiped from history they had to compromise and search for a way of survival. To them they have found they most probable and also the decisive way to ensure their Kingdom longevity, which is Aeternum, The only country that has been helping them in their time of crisis.But let’s be honest Queen Aqeesha and the entire Eloesa Royalty knew that they have no other viable offer to give, so in the end they resulted to the most usual and normal way of asking for help, which royal marriage. Aeternum by now is already considered an independent country, but in terms of Legitimacy, Aeternum does a little bit lacking. But that doesn’t mean that Aeternum will be needing a stuff like Legitimacy on their ruling, After all without it, they were able to become this
In the Kingdom of Eloesa at the moment, everything were well under control. The previous chaotic environment of uncertain danger lurking around the corner has become well under controlled, but still it was just barely being held together at this point. All of this thanks to the 5 000 Aeternum soldier from both the Army Branch of 02 Army battalion under the commander of General Lucas, and also to Special Force Branch, Dungeon Exploration and Extermination Division as well as the Eternal Night Division, The Special Force Branch were leads by the newly appointed Colonel Alessia Di Gianna. All of Aeternum forces were under the lead of High General Bina Murook, the Aeternum High General Military and also the Minister of Defence.“Madam…Is it the call from the Black House?..”. (Colonel Alessia Di Gianna)A few days back they have received the news of President returned, and at the same time of his arrival, the Kingdom of Eloesa
Kingdom of Eloesa were a warrior states, a country that believes in the way of fighter, of blood and steel and war. In the midst of Aeternum soldier wearing their combat uniform, there were also Eloesa Soldier in the midst joining their camping spot, watch post, patrol rounds and even the group of D E&E teams that just returned from Dungeon raiding. For 2 months already Eloesa Soldier has acknowledge Aeternum Soldier as the same as them, honourable, strong and prideful. “..Hmm…this Beefalo curry rice..is very delicious!!..no matter how many time I eat them…I just can’t get enough of it…(Sigh~)…I just wished that in the future…we Eloesan can enjoy this delicacy…”. (Knightess Tier 3 Despina) “...Well…I don’t think that it wasn’t impossible…Queen Aqeesha has already signed the Small Nation Coalitions with My country…certainly there will be a lot of stuff will be bought here as a trade…oh yeah, when will be the next horde coming?…”. (Cap
“Is this our new Air Craft?..”. (Elijah)“Yes…more like this were only available for our use..specifically…us the ministers and also the cabinet members…Though this might looked like it can be mass produced..but was actually very hard for me to obtained it…maybe in the near future..we can have the R&D department to manufacture one…”.Right now, we are inside of the latest air craft that I have bought from earth, I bought this from Manganese Arms Manufactures, it was one of their trialled air craft. It was the largest Quad Copter, kinda looked, with its 4 propeller powering it’s flight, this Quad Copter were 2 times faster than any carrier helicopter, also, it’s carry capacity were naturally larger, as the size of this Quad Copter is actually the same size as 3 Carrier Helicopter parked side by side.So, the inside of the Quad Copter were very comf
“Under siege?…Huh?..Rafaela..what’s wrong?..”.I noticed that Rafaela were scrunching her eyebrows and also her wings at the back has already fully come out and her hand gripped tight at her morning star maced.“Sire…it’s Monster Horde attack…I can sense them, the monsters that has lost their sanity and fell into savagery of their truest nature!…all of them were sea Monsters…they were right below us…in the sea…”. (Rafaela)This is one of Rafaela unique traits that I have discovered, the other called it intuitions, but I know why, it was one of her natural birth gifts as a Demi-Human of mixed blood angel, it was a special skill called ( Divine Sense), it was a skill that naturally heightened her senses, and also made her very sensitive to the changed of air, especially those that were concerning berserk nature such as the event of Monster
Captain Polly Grokham still haven’t leave the already crumbling watch tower, and right to her side, fighting and protecting her were the Eloesa Knight, holding onto her round shield and also her sharp silver gladius Knightess Despina, While on their side sitting down whilst still holding her AK-47 with her head bleeding red, was the injured First Lieutenant Plum Rose, who refused to leave her captain side as she still wanting to fight and able to. Knightess Despina ward off any Sea Monster that comes close to the tower, First Lieutenant Plum Rose snipe all the monster that within her scopes and Captain Polly Grokham were raining down her grenade bullets, using her Dwarven hand canon that she hold in her hand, which is large than her, while also acting as the spotter for the Artillery unit and Wizard Unit.“Polly!!!…We need to leave this tower now!!…the sea monster has already piling up at the bottom into a freaking ladder!!!…<
“What is that Maiden Unit?…are they powerful?..”. (Knightess Despina)“...I supposed so…that what’s the rumours says…but honestly I never see them myself…but, Captain said she once fight beside them in the Tri-Nation Valley war…me personally I think they were probably not that great…”.(First Lieutenant Plum Rose)“It was understanding that many thought that way…you new recruits were like that…but let me tell you..there a reason as to why they were special that the special force unit and also why they were tasked to protect all the ministers and also the president himself…Maiden Unit, is to me..is a literal monster…I once fought beside them…at that time…we are not that fully equipped as we are tight now…but even then, a single Maiden…can kill hundreds of undeads using only a single handgun and a combat knife&he
“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
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
