President Mies confident tone of voice, further incite those that were hearing his speech, from inside of Aeternum and the outside. It was as clear as the sun on the daylight, that this man is not just playing around spouting nonsense, he meant what he said. For Aeternums, they can fathom just how large of the scale of the entire project would be, and when the president said the entire nation would be changed. Everyone believed it, because after all the one that were promising all of these were the President himself. And that particular man, has never once break his promise to his people.“[Not just stopping at the will be build Inhabour City, that will soon the heart of the Central Continent, in terms of transportation hub and the heart of Aeternum industry and wholesale trading!…We will change, every single city, town and village in Aeternum!...The Agriculture Town…will be developed to the entirety of the whole Agriculture Region!….Making it the largest region will produces foods an
By now it was already very clear to many in Central Continent that, Aeternum is a better place to live. But despite of that fact, not many that are willing to make the choice and also journey to get to that safe haven. After all, it was hard to live a place that you live, when you are already dirt poor. And also, Aeternum has a very well known policy at the moment, thanks to the war that they have experience before. And that is that, Aeternums would not ventures out so save anyone at the time being, also the news that they border were closed, it even made it harder for people to make a decisions.But over the time, there were a lot of people that are desperate for a better life, has made their effort to the best they can to find a way. It was also a well known fact, that many Aeternum citizens, is mostly not born in Aeternum. Given that fact, it was only natural that there a lot of Aeternums that have family members, acquaintance from other nations. Over the time, there were also a lo
In Aeternum, New City, the second President Mies announced the matter regarding the establishment of Aeternum owned 3 Major guilds itself, For all the 3 major Guilds, the Adventurer Guild, Mercenary Guild and the Merchant Guild, all of them feel like a gloomy days for them has officially started. In Aeternum alone, the # major guilds have 3 branches build in this nation, the New City Branch, the Agriculture town branch and the Shark Central City Branch. Every single guild members from the guild master to the ordinary staff that were in the building all of them can only cast their heads down.“Wow..just..wow!….finally it comes…and it’s official…we are doomed…just…doomed…Oh lord…just why..why?…why does those upper echelon bastard had to back stab Aeternum!….we were doing just fine here…why did they have to do this?!…they think only about their profits…do they even think about anyone else?….Aeternum has done nothing and they still have to poked the bee nest!…ARGH!!!…why is my life so suc
No on would actually considered or even thought that Aeternum are willing to go to such lengths. Because everyone knows that the 3 major guilds is a large organizations, kind that span across the entire continent, perhaps even the entire Fantasma. And on central continent, that 3 major guild has become a super faction that have it’s own incredible influences. It almost can stand side by side with the Church of Light influences. And also, perhaps it was also one of the first organizations that promotes inclusiveness to all races. Ever since it’s establishment, it has gotten enormous support, by the people and also many kingdoms and government.Basically, there is no use to be against the guilds, after all, in a broad sense they all brought nothing but positive values. In a sense, everyone thinks that Aeternum is just stabbing their own foot for going up against the Major guilds. What use to go against an organizations that could potentially be of help to you when in time of need, a fre
A few days ago, right before President Mies returned to Aeternum, All the closest allies of Aeternum has come and have a secret meeting, Via video conference that were lead and hosted by Vice President Elijah herself. The main reason for it, is to announced Aeternum current standing, and also to ease the anxious of all the country leaders after hearing that President Mies declared that Aeternum border would be closed. In that meeting, Aeternum had made it known to all the ally leaders, that Aeternum will not comprehend about it’s border closing issue. But through negotiations that were led by Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein of Dukedom of Angela, Great Archmage Lodwig Godgrafen of Institute of Artemesia and also King Sebastian Marsner Redwall of The Setting Sun Kingdom, Vice President Elijah conceded, and hence that Aeternum will let only one of it’s border opened and that is the Dukedom of Angela border.Thanks to Aeternum cooperation, everyone were relieve. The second agenda, is Aeter
Aeternum has always been revolutionary and a head of it’s time no matter what they do, and when the leads were President Mies. Only fools would doubt his capabilities after he has time and time again defy the logic of these world. Naturally for all the allied leaders, all of them has accept that facts, and unlike many, those that were still stood by Aeternum despite the large fallout due to the war, all of them were humble and knows the merits of following a man as President Mies, because ultimately, Aeternum is as the same as their leader. They were not greed for other people possessions, their main concerned is their own prosperity and also safety.By now, unbeknownst to many there were a lot of retired adventurers, retired mercenaries, or some merchants who distance themselves from the guilds. And clearly there were also those that were the 3 major guilds, hearing that Aeternum has already made their own guilds, everyone were intrigued. After all, hearing that there were a lot of b
For the leaders of the Alliance country to Aeternum, every single one of them are already picking up their phones and started to call, Aeternum ministry, because on the contrary of their knowledge of what Aeternum is planning to do, it seems that Aeternum had barely told them anything. Naturally, for the other leaders, Aeternum sudden large open hiring will also be bringing something to their side. Although it was understandable to why Aeternum not telling them anything abut their full plans, after all, it was already cleared as the President himself has said it just now. It was a plan for Aeternum and just for Aeternum and it doesn’t concerned anyone else.To many that have even an ounce of intelligence, 300 000 job opening in Aeternum, is by no means a small numbers. Even if in that 300 000 were some positions that reserved only for Aeternums. At most that reserved positions is probably at the numbers of 100 000, and the rest of it will be the jobs that could accept anyone. One need
With President Mies, fully have said so that from here on forth, Aeternum will no longer associate itself with the 3 Major guilds. It was a clearly a struck of thunder for the Free Nation of Triangle Guild, they have never thought that traitorous moves at the end of the Hallerus Kingdom civil war will come to bite them like these. They thought that Aeternum would like any other country in Central Continent, that fold before them and let them go away with their moves. For the Guilds such occasions has happened multiple times, and often times they got away with it.But these time, it was different, because Aeternum were fast to recognized them and punished them for their transgression.These happened, because unlike any other nations, Aeternum knows the Free Nation of Triangle Guilds method of operations, all of the country in Central Continent, or perhaps the entire Fantasma, looked at the Guild existence as a mere small entity, and thought that the guilds will react, moved and act to b
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“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
