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
“Hahaha congratulations Madam Jongi!..you should let this Sea Bream become his diet from now on…after all I guarantee that it is working as intended!…Who would’ve thought that..after many years I once again be able to taste these magical meat of the Oceanic foods…Also, thank you to the Government for letting us taste all of this…if not for them..we might still have to buy those outrageous price produce from those foreign merchant…”. (Mento)Everyone in the vicinity were nodding at the Old Mento words, acknowledging it was all thanks to the concern and kind government to even further granted the people of Aeternum the sweet taste of life.“I Know right~…I thought for so long that, Oceanic Food is just that expensive!!..it was costing gold coins to buy those…back before I am Aeternums…only nobles and kings can dine on these…but now thanks to the Government&h
What seems to be just a distant rumour and previous happening has changed to a reality, The scary and brawny looking Mercenaries that the housewives were just talking about has now appeared before them and currently making a scene in front of Old Mento fish stall. Just like what the housewives as depicted before, the situation were both serious and also frightening, for all by standers. Though Most of Aeternum were not foreign with conflicts nor violence, still any normal people who has never fought before will naturally wanted to avoid being involved ins such confrontations.That was what all of the Housewives were thinking, they started to back away from the scene and distancing themselves from incoming violence. The mercenaries even made it very clear that for some reason what they seek for is very probably not the compensations but something else. The head of the mercenaries the one that speaks were very outspoken about everything, as soon as he smashed the
Instead of riling up the crowds behind him to follow his leads, what he Guard Captain Liang has done, is infuriating the entire crowds of Aeternum New City Wet Market. Still many of the people inside the Aeternum New City Wet Market were normal civilian, very few were experienced in any kind of confrontations nor even battles, but, but that doesn’t mean that they weren’t any that aren’t capable of lifting their hands to defend themselves, One of those individual, were Old Mento, he was once a very experienced adventurer and a fighter, there’s a reason why he was able to raised his son before becoming and Aeternums. Also at the same time the Housewives has already started calling not only the Police, but also their husband.And the Housewives, their husband and family members mostly law enforcement workers, and some were even military personnel, there a reason why these Housewives can just shopping all they want lavishly. Still Guard Capta
“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
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
