In Just a few minutes away the Napalm would be here, all of a sudden a quest prompt up in my view. Not that I really mind but, actually I wanted to show all these medieval people a little fireworks, now that this happen, I had no way of showing that, Also knowing me, I'm kinda curious what the reward is. Perhaps I should burst out my annoyance on all these undeads.
"Colleen..Cancel the airstrike…".
"Huh?…but sir…why?....wait
2 day's after the overwhelming victory over repelling the undeads, Aeternum has opened it's border to the world. The first one to entered the New city, was everyone that were participate in the battle, the beautiful and modern view of New City immediately taken every single one of them speechless, it was as if the entered a whole different world.The diversity of the populations, urban high rise and colourful building, not a single one of it's people looks shabby, made them puzzeled, all the New City citizen were wearing beautiful clothes and accessory that has been a new crazed high fashions all over central continent."I can't believe a magnificent place like this exist just near us…everything just otherworldliness….". (Princess Angela)Sitting inside her pegasus pulled carriage, she can't help but turning her heads around to see the scenery of Aeternum New City."Why do I feels like our garments s
Aeternum invited all the participants from the previous campaign into the New City, For the Celebrations Ceremony started. At 1900 Pm, Government District, Conference Centre, The giants 300 meter Dome building finally been used to host Aeternum first international events. Certainly it was a high class event's to everyone that attend it, Everyone was wearing their best clothes, needless to say the events itself was sophisticated, the decorations, the foods even the entertainment was something that a normal cizilian in Fantasma could never experience. The Celebrations not only happening inside the Dome but also outside.Everyone was enjoying themselves, Even the rowdiest Adventurer and Mercenary turned polite and cultured, mingling with each others with wine on their hands. Of course, since Fantasma is still a medieval world, a distinctions of caste needs to be shown. The Nobles has their own sections which is the first floor, if the ground floor there's only a lo
After the meeting ended, as usual me and my 5 minister are having our meeting. Needless to say the atmosphere was a little bit gloomy."Sir, Don't you think the deal was kinda one sided?..it looks as if we gave up our resource too much and earned to little…". (Andrea)She was worried, because the resource that we promised to provided were actually a high quality products."it might looks that way..but remember we sell them the resource, not giving them out for free…as for the training, it was nothing, we can just send our instructor there and trained their soldier for a few months…as a matter of fact, this deal will bring immense gold for years to come…".Everyone nodded at my reasoning, I don't really worried about what I gave them in the trade, all the things I provided were nothing but a common item that I can get easily. Of course for everyone in Fantasma the products that Aeternum
Aeternum after a few days of the celebration night, had enter the usual atmosphere, almost all the undead collaboration army already leave New city and headed for their own regions. Of course the independent individual such as adventurer and small mercenary group still remained, looking for some odd job in the city, some already buying a properties with intentions to resides in The New City.New City were also for the first time allowed the 3 neutral guild open their branch in the Commercial District, of course unlike the usual procedure that they 3 guilds opened for free, I decided that they had to pay a taxes. Of course the Adventurer, Mercenary and Merchant guilds tried to persuade us that they should be operated without taxes, saying that we will absolutely needs their power and their vast network. In the end with Andrea with and assurerance that Aeternum will do fine alone, and since the previous battle already prove that, the Guilds representative knew tha
"So you were saying in return for your Oath of Protections.. you want me to take in your kin?.."."Yes…they have been asking me for years…it broke my heart to see my kin were hunted down like animals..". (Griksu'um)His only request was for me to take in his Kin, which is the Lizard men race, according to him for decades his kin were hunted by human, killed, enslaved like every demi-human on Fantasma. He once tried to interfere, but the human interpreted he's act as a larger threat and an omen to a disaster, and started to form a coalitions and launch a war on him and the lizard men, which resulting on him nearly being killed and hundred thousand of his kin were killed and forced to flee their homes."Well I don't see any problem in doing that…sure tell your Kin to come into Aeternum…But, they all have o follow my nation rules and law…just because you asked for it..I wont bend the rules
"So..in conclusion, we now had the protections of an Ancient Dragon..in exchange for sheltering his Kin?..". (Elijah)"Yes..you should have our side ready for the Dragonkin...I tell him to hurried his people to come in before the next year...Just treat them the same as any citizen..".I revealed the news after the meeting with Griksu'um were done, the old Dragon already left to his new hill and probably mention the news to his people. Apparently, Elijah had deployed the entire Army to My mansion, but the Protective magic shield was cast by the old dragon that encompassed the whole mansion preventing them.At first, everyone was worried about me, but after explaining everything, whole Aeternum back to normal, Elijah and the ladies were also delighted with the unforeseen fortune. Apparently having a dragon as an ally was a big thing, In the end, everything is great."Mina, is there any movement from the Church?…"."There's
As I back on Earth, there's nothing much happen, except for the fact that Virtue Financial is now listed as the top 50 most profitable company in the world, and Finally, Catherine had her face print up in the Times Magazine, Which is her dreams.No one knows that I already start to read and study every report for the last 2 weeks, and thankfully everything was alright. T.A.S also has stopped purchasing stocks and started to reinforce the stock of all companies that
Hearing my ridiculous suggestions, instead of refusing, Hwang Hwa Young agreed to it. Actually I'm just saying suggesting it because I know it will annoy Jang Ye Gum, and at the same time it will certainly thwart my stupid ambitious staff plans. Needless to say Hwang Hwa Young even though she's a decent and gentle person, she's also an opportunist, Having a public relationship with me surely will boost her popularity.In short both of us gain from this move, she got her foothold stable thus repairing her tarnished reputations and I got my the Jang Consortium off guard and disciplining my staff at the same time."Dae Jung-Ssi….have our people relocate Hwang Hwa Young to one of our House and tighten the security..didn't you say that you have cousin working in the entertainment industry?.."."Ah yes..my second cousin work at a small entertainment agency..".(Bang Dae Jung)"Wait..does Virtue own t
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
Across the different worksites, the harmony between technology and magic became apparent. Aeternum was the only nation in the world that had successfully merged magic with engineering, creating an industrial revolution like no other.Water Mages worked in tandem with high-powered water filtration systems, providing fresh, clean water to new housing districts within hours instead of weeks.Wind Mages generated artificial air currents, assisting the construction of massive skyscrapers without the need for medieval-style scaffolding.Lightning Mages charged up Mana Generators, providing clean, renewable electricity to power Aeternum’s growing urban expansion.The Alemia and Battle Star refugees had never seen anything like it.They had always been told that magic and technology could never coexist—that magic was only for battle and technology was inferior to the will of the gods.But here, in Aeternum, they saw the truth. Magic was not just for war. Technology was not just for the privil
