Seeing all the villagers were excited to get on the bus and be marveled at the comfort it provides, bring a smiles to Corporal Amanda and Specialist Orghar faces, as the crowd were getting on board the bus and settled on their seat, Both of the Aeternum soldiers take a time to talks a little bit, after all, for Corporal Amanda there were some development that somehow new for her just now.“Lovely Crowd right, Sir….”.(Corporal Amanda)“Yeah it is….and all of them deserved the kind of work and contributions that we provide for them….not gonna lie thou…..there were quite a problematic people before your batch here…”.(Specialist Oghar)“Oh really?…what kind?…”.(Corporal Amanda)“You know…the usual kind….the stupid self indulgent people, an obvious racist….and a lot more…there were even a Noble’s in disguised as well…and that guy really just intolerable…”.(Specialist Oghar)“That must be hard, right, Sir?…”.(Corporal Amanda)“Oh it definitely is….one of our officer got punch in the face fo
For corporal Amanda, her job at the moment is alreadyconclude, but not entirely as she and Airship 035 still have more transport job to do, after all there were about close to a million people in Eastern Alemia Region right now, and all of them had to become an Aeternum Citizens with appropriate credentials as soon as possible. Although it seems rather impractical to transport a lot of people to a single place, but as a low level Aeternum officers, for Corporal Amanda and Specialist Orghar, they were only doing their duty and stayed with their order.The new convoy of buses made their way into the city, and as always for the crowds inside the bus, the sight of the new city, the hustle and bustle of it, that seems to be a sight that they ave never seen before on this city, does made everyone shocked and in awe, seeing it from the top and seeing it up close and be in the midst of it, certainly very interesting to everyone, the city itself already came to life, there were a lot of const
Watching Sunders City slowly reformed and reborn anew, is really a good experience for me, I am here on day one and my addressed last night, prompt a set of movement in the city, and today everyone all over the Eastern Region were transported to Sunders City to start their registration as Aeternum Citizen and then begin their new life. And thanks to that, the entire city sprung to life in just about 12 hours after my addressed. To be honest I am expecting this much of an impact, I anticipated some, but not to these degree, that I had to allocated about 100 Airship just to accommodate everyone transport for just today.“Sir, another 10% increased on our labour force just now….”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Really?….that is quite a lot…..”.“It is, Your Highness, and we estimated the number will rises more…and thanks to this new additions….all the project around the city, can be completed much more sooner than we scheduled it would be…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)Surged in new registered citizens, can m
Rowdy people, self entitled and just outright problematic bunch, is the scum of society that would always exist. And personally that is a problem, especially when there were a society of mixed race and culture like my Aeternum, that kind of situation need to be handled properly and fast, nipped it in the bud before it’s sprouted into something else. Human especially in Fantasma kinda much more easier to fell to their tendency of labeling themselves as superior, and when they become racist, this trait is hard to be washed off from their personality.“Yes, Your Highness…quite a few of them actually, especially the noble’s folks…”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Then…just simply told the police to captured them and jailed them immediate…have those that have the tendency of becoming a racist to be rehabilitated at once……”.“Alright, Sir….”.(Holgun Iron Horn)“Hmm…you know what, let’s just add some light test to separated those racist from the normal folks in the very beginning…have all the escorted o
Governing a newly acquired region is not at all an east task, after all one of the thing that you had to deal with and do is, cleaning all the messes that were left behind from the other predecessor. And in this case, when you were taking over from an incompetent and also useless leader, the mess were quite a lot, on top of the racist and problematic people were like flies and were just all around you, that you need to cleaned up fast. You also need to work hard to make sure that no matter what, you will never lose the people trust in you.In this particular case, the surged of people that comes to work for my government, is quite a lot, and at the moment, the lack of accommodating is really an alarming one, especially when the only city that were undertaking that labour were about to be overrun by the amount of people that are wanting to work to earn their living. Luckily, I kinda guess already that this might happened, so thankfully by just opening the Administration District in onl
On one hand, I need the citizens to be apart of Aeternum as fast as they can so that everything can move on, as it should be, but on the other hand, there were another complication and that is the hassle of the illiteracy of nearly 90% of our new citizens, and in Aeternum which is now already a modern society, not being able to read and write is certainly a big problem. If Aeternum were like any other nation, that didn’t care about their people being dumb, that would be non issues at all, as I can just go all warring with their nation.But now that I wanted the current population to be a part of Aeternum society and integrate these people fully, they need to changed their ways, fast. And on the earliest stage of becoming and Aeternum citizens, is that it will be much more helpful if the new citizens will be able to read and write, as there are a bunch of documents to be filled and managed by themselves properly. And if these new populace can’t read and write, then these will create a
Under my order, Holgun and the staffs move fast and prepared everything as they have done several times before this. Having a meeting via a face time, is certainly out of place in these medieval era, and for those that first saw this they were always mind blown about, and they were even more shocked when they realized that all this happened were not fully because of magic but more so towards the technology. As always I waited for all the set up to finish, and when it does, as always the first one to picked the video call, were as always, Elijah.“Afternoon, Elijah..how are you?…”.“[Afternoon, Master…I am faring just fine…there is not a lot going on here….everyone know to stayed on their lines..especially those outsiders….other than that…everything is good……how are you, Master?….good?..]”.(Elijah)Elijah were in her office right now, and as always looking as flawless as she always does, Sareen and Governess Jelina were also there with her, although they were seated somewhere in the ro
“[Everyone….settle down now….we have issues to solve now…..so Master, please do tell, what is these issues that you have encountered…]”.(Elijah)“Thank you, Elijah…so…this is the issues that we have…at the moment…”.As always the only one that were able to get everyone on track as always were Elijah, and with her words everyone are now back to attention and focused. And so with the attention is now back on me, I started to laid out everything for them to know. I am very serious about this and naturally they had to take it at the same degree that I do, and from my words they also know that this problems is really something that can incite a lot of other type of issues and it needs to be dealt with and fast.“[I see…that is certainly a problem…with the amount of the people that are illiterate…this means, it would create a lot of problems at the administration levels….delays and confusion amongst the new citizens would happen…that is very concerning…]”.(Elijah)“[Not to mention a possibl
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“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
