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. Thanks to my newly obtains passive skills (Heightene
Matriarch Kasuma and Elder Mikhail spills out the unfortunate history to their clans. Still because of the 1st generations rash decision, the now 3rd generations has to bear the consequences. Still it was quite impressive, to preserve an oath, even though the current generations doesn't know if the oath was even truly exist.Beaver clan is a real shinobi clan, their culture and lifestyle were similar to Ninja clan on earth. It was quite a scene to see a Beaver act like a ninja, comical but impressive. As for the Mole clan, their story was quite funny to put it in a simple term, they were a capable carefree bunch that make a wrong turn at the wrong time. But both clan compliments each other perfectly, Beaver Clan was dedicated, while Mole clan is resourceful. While Beaver clan act as the guardian, Mole clan act as supporter, providing tools and provisions. Mole clan is a Slime Tamer, the foods, cloths, candles and even a waste management were all done by exploiti
"It's good that you guys were arrived…we will starts fighting the lord in a few moments….but, before that, I would like you and your team to abide by our rule, one..under no circumstances should any of you interfere with the battle, two..once we opened this door, you and your team will move to the safest locations in there and never move unless we said so,..three, you will have no claim over anything…..I hope you guys will understand, we do not intend to underestimated you or anything..it's just we work best on our own…". (Elijah)With her hand on her back, Elijah explain the Ninja Beavers the rules. It's better to have a set rules now, then having someone ruins everything later. We slept for over 10 hours last night, the clock on my watch stated it's 10 am in the morning, it's been a long time since I've gone camping, quite refreshing to do this once In awhile."We will abide by your rule, Your Ladyship..".(Sasu)
"So you're saying that this glowing ball is equivalent to 10 nuclear warhead?..".[Yep..but, since this is Fantasma and that Anchor Core was a magical artifact…it's doesn't gave out radiations..you could try use it as a power reserve for you electricity..I can help you research how to do it..]. (T.A.S)It's kinda weird to hear and see that the round glowing crystal ball that in my hand right now was as strong 10 nuclear warhead. After defeating the Warden, the only thing that left inside the crater was, this Basketball big Anchor Core @ Dungeon core,7 skill shards, the glowing skull of the Warden(That apparently is the Seal for Paul Shackles), 1 High Grade Dimensional Storage (The inside was filled with Dragons Bones and 1 broken branch with 1 leaf at the end) and a piece armour that the warden previously wear. Actually there's nothing remains of the warden inside the crater, but for some reason these loots were inside the cr
Dungeon Exploring and relocations of The beavers and Moles clans already done a few days ago. Paul also has been safely released from his Cursed and already making his name in Aeternum. Our profit from the dungeon was quite big, resource wise off course. T.A.S manage to archive and analyze a few magical enchantment, Magic spells tomes and more importantly he was able to pin several key locations for Dwertur precious metals mine. Sitting inside my meeting room, I finally able to launch my plans for Aeternum radio broadcasting."Quite a place you got here Sir….So, what work you got for me?….Sir..". (Paul)Paul the skeleton carefully swallow his imaginary saliva as Elijah stare down at him."I need you to be my Radio DJ….in here there's everything about your new job…I will also assign a special crew for you…for now all you got to do is familiarize yourself with the manual, and the devices you will be us
For the past few weeks Merrina town has become the talk of all people in Halerus Kingdom, thanks to the new Store called Aeternum Super store that appeared out of nowhere. The store was revolutionary, selling multitude range of items, high quality tools, clothing articles that more soft and flashy than any noble boutique, high quality foods, and more importantly thousand kind of Spices and paper that as white as clouds.The store never seems to runs out of product, the price is appropriate and affordable. the store provide a high class and fast service by their worker, everyone have only praised for this store. Though there's some rival merchant try to slander and even tried to copy their merchandise, the store never falter, instead, surprising enough The merchant associations and The Duke Merrica household comes to squash and punish the ill intended Merchant. No one dares to make move at them after that, The Store also seems to be connected to a mysterious C gr
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
