After unknowingly received what seems to be a shocking response by all of their connections and relatives back at their own country. All the allied leaders especially for the Queen Duchess Angela, Great Archmage Lodwig and also King Sebastian, only now they were struck with a realization of what is just happened to them, and just how intelligent Aeternum is with these meeting that they has just made a history with. They are now only realized that their entire nation is currently really watching the entire meeting. In a real time, so no matter what it is everyone can see their actions and decisions.Thus explained why all of them suddenly received a direct phone call by their government members back home. Although they knew that Aeternum did not have any ulterior motives at all to do such things, other than making sure to grandeur the occasion and also wanting for the alliance to be known by everyone, they cannot help but feel like they were being tricked. Then again it wasn’t anyone f
For the leaders of all the allied nation, the fact that President Mies is about to revealed his reasoning to why Aeternum has took a drastic action on the world most well known organizations, there were a mixed feeling about these for them. They were nervous and also rather determined to see as to why would Aeternum would take such actions. Because for them, there were some that knows the dark side to these 3 organizations and their shady business as they too have used that kind of service at some point of their lives. Naturally for them such things is also a 2 edge swords, they can used it to harm others but for some unknown reason they were just too naive that they think that the same actions wouldn’t be used against them.“Is these because the Aeternum President last radio address?…I heard about that, he said that Aeternum has decided that they will no longer use the Guilds services and also kicked them out of their country at once…”.(Junior Male Magic Student)“I am sure it is…bec
Everyone that were watching the broadcast were stunned and speechless as Aeternum Vice President reveals everything. When their leaders had the files and have the reactions of their own and clearly, just like their people were stunned and feeling very upsets with what they just read and see. It doesn’t stopped there, because Aeternum Vice President has never planned to do that instead, Aeternum has only started to made their claims true and solid, so that no one can denied these truth and ensures that no matter what the entire world has to see these matters being brought to the light.“[Those files is not just something that everyone should be worried about…because for that matters…it was already way to late to amend it…Our Agencies only confiscated these documents from the Guilds Branch in Aeternum…so, definitely..I don’t have to say that…the Guilds branch all over the place has probably have the same information too..]”. (Vice President Elijah)“[Only by seeing these proof here…now
Learning the shocking truth that Aeternum had come to learned about, is very hard on everyone, not just to the leaders of the allied nation that had to listened to the Vice President Elijah face to face, but also to all the citizens that are currently watching the live broadcast. And from here on, it can be said that Aeternum really are not lying at all. Who would’ve thought that the famous tragedy that happened a long time ago that shot not only the Guild reputation and also several of the large merchants groups good names were all done from their dirty schemes.Everyone learned that the sad tragedy is actually at first is not at all as disastrous as they thought. At first the large scales famine were happened because of the war that has been constantly happening all over the Central Continent at that time. Naturally everyone knows about these information, Originally the Famine would only lasted about a half a year, but The Guilds and also the many Large Merchant groups that were own
The solemn atmosphere naturally did not stood for too long, as almost all the leaders has shown a clear anger due to the proof. But as an intelligent and also a leaders all of them knew that by now, getting furious is useless as there is nothing much that they can do but just accept the things it stands, rather than finding something to released their anger, it is much wiser to asked the solutions from the most resourceful and the ones that has solved the problems.“[……these is truly terrible…and very, very dangerous…if we were to let these kind of two faces organizations to continues to settled amidst all of us…I for one would never wanted to see my Country to fall for such danger…Your Highness President Mies….we know that the Association that you have established…is the solutions for all these mess….do you think that the Associations can also be established in Nirewin?..]”. (King Helberd Nirewin the 14th )“[Yeah..these Is a dire situations after all…but above all we need a k
Once again, The President of Aeternum shocked everyone with how he does things. No one in the history of Central Continent or perhaps even Fantasma, a leader of a nation just easily makes a decision as fast as him. To the many citizens of allied nations that looked and see Aeternum ways of doing things they instantly knows that Aeternum is really lucky with having the President as their ruler. Anything that made the people lives easier, comfortable and safe, Aeternum did not spare any time to do it, instead the leaders even goes out of their ways to ensure something like these constantly happening.So as of now, unintentionally, many of the Citizen that are watching the broadcast, has already convinced that Aeternum is really a better place like it has been advertise for so long. And one of the main reason, and perhaps the reason that Aeternum become the way that it is right now, is because of the decisive leaders that they have. In the meantime, to all the allied nation, they just s
No one can really predicted where the meetings will be headed. All that everyone thought about these meetings is all about nice things and good news, no one would’ve thought that they would be in a waves of emotional roller coaster through out the meeting. But at the very least now everyone has their closure on a lot of stuff, and now all of them knew for certain that when they thought that the Guilds is shady and also rather odd and bad, their thought is exactly right. And surely thanks to these, there will be a lot of changes will be happening and it was only going to be better and better.“[Alright, since we already have those risky and need an urgent attention out of our way…let’s lighten up the mood…I can see that some of us already started to have a rather dark expressions….]”.(President Mies)“[Hahaha…sure, sure, Sire President Mies…truly we all have been in a constant waves for all these time…we need more good news….]”. (Queen Duchess Angela)The vibes is really quite all over
For as long as everyone remembered, everyone has tried to make use of the Rivers and lakes that were all over the places in the central continents, but no matter who tried to utilized the waters, all of them has failed, no matter what they tried, it would always failed at the end. This is because despite how useful the Rivers and lake were, the rivers and the lakes that were all over them were known and acknowledge as the most dangerous places for them and until now, dying to the attacks of waters origin monsters is already considered a normal occasions.In fact to everyone in the Central Continent, one of the monster stampede that were lead by the Water type monsters, everyone considered that stampede is as deadly and can destroy anything that it went through. Even the government of many nation dared not to intercept or battled the Water type monster like they were dealing with any wild monster that were coming from the land. That is just how deadly the situations were, thus when Aet
“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
