But thankfully Andrea and her Entire department has discussed these issues, and together with the Central Government or Elijah Department/The Black House administrator. They have devised a long terms plans to handle this issue smoothly, which is to normalize the sea products only in Aeternum. The aim is very simple, which is, making the Sea Food or Sea related products become rather normal and affordable only in Aeternum inside the Central Continent. Which at the same time building a Brand of Aeternum related Sea Products, and at the same time build an intense reputations and market for the merchants and other nations interest on this items, while also controlling the merchandise flow.
As of now the price that the other nations and the merchant guilds were labeling on the tropical fruits and sea products were just outrageous. So, I want Aeternum be the only country that comes out as a good guy in this situations. So to make that happened, I have to apply so tric
Aeternum, New City.In Downtown New City, at the 6 in the morning, where the sun were yet to rise in the horizon, Les were already waking up and preparing in his house, getting ready for his busy days ahead. Naturally this is not normal for them, in fact, they were one of the new category of people that lived in Aeternum, They were Migrant from the Giant Lake Crystal Duchy, who come here to the New City from the last year Monster Horde that comes and destroyed his village.Unable to retreat back to the capital of Giant Lake Crystal Duchy at that time, he joined a large migrations groups who is heading northeast, according to the group they were headed to the safest place in the Central Continent. The land of safety, gold and dreams, The independent States of Aeternum, the haven for the lost, discarded and victims, where one can live as they like. As a simple village fisherman, who not only lost his house and everything that he ow
With enthusiasm, the Giant Lake Fish Stall finally opened for business, as always the Wet Market as soon as it was opened, all of New City dweller will come in and out of the market, everything were being sold fast. This is the uniqueness of Aeternum, everyone were able to buy and can buy any food they want. The environment were quite busy and cherry, many happy face went in and out of the market, and by the noon quite a lot of vendors has closed their stall because their products has gone out, including the Giant Lake Fish.But then, Les Noticed that today there is something odd happening, there were quite a numbers of Aeternum Resource Department Officer, wearing the famous Aeternum Military uniform, but blue in colour signifies that they were and officers from the Aeternum resource department. This group of people arrival made many felt uncomfortable, and wonder which bastard that does not pay their trading taxes yet. But the officers went from stall to stall
Just like anyone in the crowds, Les was shocked and alarmed with the announcement from Minister Andrea, Sharing the Country wealth and rich, More over the Government wanted the mass public of Aeternum to taste and afford the luxurious meat of the Ocean fish. This sounded just to good to be true, after all, Sea Fish and Sea Products isn’t something that one can easily picked up everywhere.One must know that any Sea Products were very expensive and all of it can only be obtained from the prestigious merchant groups that specialized in selling these kind of items. Also, the price has always reached above gold Coins outside of Aeternum and inside of Aeternum, it usually sold 50 Credits and above for a single fish or items. It was an equivalent to a Tier 3 Monster meat, that is how luxurious it is, only the richest can enjoy them. But now, The government wanted to ensure that every single Aeternum can have that taste of luxuries. Even to all the vendors
“Yes, Changing the products you were selling will cost you more taxes..but it wasn’t to to point where the Government will dry you up!!…That vendor, not only didn’t file his business changes, but after the whole incident take places…he didn’t even go to the police station to report on the incident…..so do you think it’s our fault for not protecting your fellow vendors?…..NO IT IS NOT!!…he violated the rules!..he ignored the procedure!…all for money!!..This is outrageous!!…This should have never happened!!….have you no shame?!!…have you no honour?!!…after all that the 5 Minister and the President have done!!..building this country that you call home…that you live on!!..and none of you willing to follow a basic rules?!!…Shame on you!!…”. (Minister Andrea)Actually when the incident of the foreign merchant ignoring the Aeternum power, this
To understand the concept of food products regarding the difference of Oceanic foods and Fresh water foods in Fantasma is fairly simple. Both of them were basically the same, but the differences lays on the taste, benefits and ranks, Fresh Water fishes is only considered magical meat and premium when the fish or other foods were Tier 3 and higher, only then the meat will have benefits when eaten, such as improving health, helping with easy leveling up and etc. But compared to the Oceanic foods, one can consume a Tier 1 products and it has already comparable t the fresh water products that gave multiple benefits. Also according to some, it’s even tasted better.But the problem is this Oceanic foods can only be obtained from the coastal area, which is on Central Continent is very hard to get. Also after the discovery of the benefits from the Oceanic Foods, the many Nobles, kingdoms and mostly the old Merchant family and Merchant groups has huddled toge
The news of Sea Food availability in Aeternum, bring a lot of joy and happiness but some Aeternum also worried that this new development might bring some troubles and difficulties. Because of how expensive it is, the government might suffered some loss, and many were worried on behalf of the government about this matter.“[Of course this is a great news DJ SKELLY…To this, I brought the words from the Black House itself…To Aeternums, heed this notice..There are conditions to obtaining this Sea Products, first rules…Since this is a gift and welfare program to the hardworking Aeternums…To buy a Sea Products, one must be a Citizen of Aeternum, with an identifications card of ID Card…when buying, please show your ID Card before paying..this privileges only apply to Aeternums…Second Rule, Foreigners, Visitors are not and can not purchase and Sea Food Products sold in the Market, Super Stores or any vendors that supplies
Ever since Aeternum were founded and opened to the many of the Central Continent, There were very true saying that describe Aeternum. That is, ‘Aeternum Is a Country Like no other, it is different, very different’, and this saying were true, for the nobles wherever they went they were respected, but as soon as they set foot in Aeternum, their titles will grant them nothing but a look of contempt and dismissive, if the nobles didn’t mind their manners here in Aeternum, then expect to be locked in jail like a criminals, or even worse, be sentenced to death or even being banished out of the country with a tonne of gold coins debt around your belt.As for merchant, no matter big or small, Aeternum is the nation where wealth comes from, not mentioning the rich citizen of it that seemingly can buy anything, but the products from Aeternum is a guarantee to sell anywhere.For merchant, the lesson they learned dealing in Aeternum is fairly simple
“<BAM!!..BAM!!..BAMM!!>…Unbelievable!!..how did they managed to get this?….where?..where did they get any of these?!!….Look!..all of these were high quality products…while we only sell fake Tier’s products..they sell a real Tier’s items!!….AT A LOWER PRICES EVEN!!!…at this point..they might as well tell us to close our stores!!..”. (Baron Govane Selspring)Baron Govane Selspring doesn’t hide his contempt and anger any longer. Sitting inside the room, again, were the same figures as yesterday, both Antoine Loland and Louis Franklin The 4th. Both of their faces were grim as they saw and tasted the 2 items inside the metal case. As someone who dabble in this industry they knew what is real and what is not.All this time many of the Oceanic Products dealers, has reached a consensus that, all their products can be sell at a certain prices and that must be hig
“I request a duel.”A murmur ran through both sides. Bina merely raised a single eyebrow.“A duel? Against me?” she said, tilting her head slightly, almost as if she hadn’t heard him correctly.Anton stood his ground.“If I win, you and your soldiers do not enter this palace.”Bina exhaled, her lips curving into something that wasn’t quite a smile.“And if you lose?”Anton’s jaw tightened.“Then my men will surrender peacefully.”A moment of silence passed between them.And then, Bina laughed.A deep, almost booming sound, filled with something akin to amusement… and disappointment.“You are either the bravest or the most foolish knight I have ever met, Captain Anton.” She rested her hand on the haft of her war axe, her fingers tightening around the weapon’s familiar grip.Anton did not flinch. Bina’s amusement faded. She gave him a firm nod. Both of them knew, this is actually a heartfelt plea from Anton, he wanted Grand General Bine to allow his men to live, this I his earnest beg.
At precisely 10 AM, just as the dust from the explosions had barely begun to settle, a deep echoing voice rang across the battlefield.“To the soldiers and citizens of Alemia!”It was him.The President of Aeternum.His voice carried through the winds, reverberating through the ruined streets, projected through Aeternum’s massive military speakers for all to hear.“Your war is over. Lay down your arms. Submit to the governance of Aeternum, and you will be spared.”His words hung in the air like a final judgment.And then, like a descending storm, the Aeternum Army finally began to move.It was a terrifyingly unified march.Thousands upon thousands of troops moved in perfect synchronicity, their steel boots pounding against the earth like a drum of war. Tanks rolled forward, massive military vehicles flanking the advancing battalions, gunships and airships circling the skies like mechanical reapers.At that moment, the people of Alemia saw it—the unstoppable tide of Aeternum’s might de
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
