Since my last order for the Research and Development Department for them to research the implementations of Mana core to replace the usage for oils, in all of Aeternum vehicles, after that I have rather let them just do their works. Giving them freedom to do whatever they want, researched what ever they want, thanks to that, Rafaela as the Ministers that oversees the entire department operations also issued her own order, per my suggestions. She issued 2 order, one was the development of Artificial limbs and organs, the second is the in depth research on the Raw Oils that we found in Eloesa Kingdom.
According to the Report, all 3 research has already completed and reach a significant accomplishment. But since the war and a lot of stuff happened on the mean time as the research were undergoing. I just set all the details aside, T.A.S said that the researched has reached a significant result and can be considered completed at this time. Hence then, T.A.S wit
“We’re here Sir…”. (Sasu)After a short ride from the Black House as I were busy fiddling with my tablet PC, we have already arrived at the A.R.D.H Headquarters. Compared to the other building inside the Compound with 600 meter square big complex. The Headquarter building could be said a lot more modest, it was just a simple tower of 8 floor high with 4 basements. More over it was designed like the Leaning tower of Pisa, except it stood straight as an arrow.“Selie, I want every single person on this list to attend this meeting..”.“I understood sir..I will summon them myself…”. (Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Please do..”.There has been an updated to the people that I wanted to meet today, aside from Rafaela and Senior Researcher Jessica that done the researched on the Crude oil. The A.R.D.H Complex is what we can
I took my time as I slowly walks to the Headquarters, since at the Moment Selie were still on her way to summon numbers of people to the meetings, there no need for me to rush, after all, this is also my last schedule for the day. So together with entourage of secret service agents, We’ve decided to take things a little bit easier. Inside all of government buildings there will always be a designated places for places to eat and rest. So does here in the complex, I am sure that inside of the Headquarters building there’s a cafeteria, since I decided to loiter around a little bit, it was time for me to just take my time.“hmm?…there’s a hawker here…never thought I would find one here..”.There were abundance of space before the Headquarter building and the others buildings, aside from the roads that connected everything there were also the pedestrian walkways and also gardens here and the
There were 3 other small table beside the one that I sat on, Polly noticing that she knows me, already left her own table and colleague of researchers and joined my table, thankfully Sasu knows who she was so she doesn’t got stopped by him or got choke hold by the other bodyguards. It has become a rather large spectacle to the both bystander and also the diners that in the area, after all it was shocking and not everyday that many can see a President of a country actually sitting and dining at a street stall.“So how’s you’ve been these days?….busy?..”.“Well I am…High General Bina has been rather pushy to the Special Research department lately..she said that we need more variety of firearms…also, we need to hurry and stop relying on the current ammunition…”. (poly Grokham)“...oh that…I was the one that ordering that…we need too..t
Inside the Medical Research Centre, the news about The President were currently dining at the Street Stall right outside of the Headquarter were already spread. And just like anyone in the A.R.D.H Complex, many sees this news as an eye opening to them. Because not many of them had contact with these large figure, most of them not even seen the man up close. Hence why everyone that were working currently have their attentions out of the windows. Eager to witness this somewhat a memorable instance for themselves.“Madam Minister Rafaela…”. (Lieutenant Colonel Selie)After a whole round of moving here and there in the complex to summon every single person on the list of the meeting, Selie meet Rafaela as the last person.“Sister Selie..I heard that he’s here…”. (Rafaela)“..How?..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)Compared to anyone
My little diversion and a little snack time ended with a rather overwhelming ending, with me getting surrounded by crowds of Researchers and Craftsmen, all asking for all kind of things, from signature, approval and also advice on their projects. Compared to being surrounded by the Soldiers, getting surrounded by theses intellectual people were much more tiring as they were a thousand more passionate about their subject more than anyone. Then again with Rafaela come back with Selie with her, is a big sign that everything is ready for the meeting. Hence it was easier for me to escape the crowds.“Is everyone ready?..”.“Yes Sire President…every name has been called, and all of them were already waiting in the meeting room…we were the last to arrive..”. ( Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Good…Rafaela, is something on your mind?..”.I noticed that , Raf
What was on the display on top of the stage, not only silence me and took my fascination away, but so does everybody else in Conference Hall. Because to everyone including me, what Rafaela introduced as the Synthetic Limbs, looks exactly like a real limbs. That is right, it looks like a real actual severed limbs that were placed neatly in order on the table. It ranges from fingers, to arms, legs and even toes. Not only that it covers the main limbs, but then it goes as far as the other features for all of the Races in Fantasma, Tails for the Demi-Human, be it The Draconic tails or the Tails of the Fox Demi-Human.“..Wow..that is remarkable…it almost looks like a real limbs…if not for the Connector parts…people would’ve thought that it was a real limbs..”. (Lieutenant Colonel Selie)Selie actually speaks what is in my mind and also many that were in the Hall, and everyone were nodding in agreements at wh
Rather that condemning or heckling Rafaela, is what usually happened at the time like this in the usual Fantasma, Medieval Era settings. Everyone inside the room were rather extremely excited about everything they were curious about every single facts that they comes across and react like a true Researcher and scholar would, without undermining anyone or anything. It could be said, that compared to Institute where when there were was new finding they would be many rejections and questions, Aeternum Intellectuals community were always ready to accept new things and ready to civilly discussed everything in a mannered ways.“Thanks to our Culturally Diverse organizations and Nation….in my Research team…We had, Doctor Elion Fellmir, from the Mana Surgery Department at the Aeternum Royal Medical Hospital…Thanks to him, Being an Elven Descent…he had provided us with his tribe knowledge..on how to correctly killed a Slime and Keeping i
“...After a thorough research…it has been found that, the most suitable materials..for replacing the Synthetic chemicals materials…is the oddly Slime flesh…it has identical compositions as any flesh…be it monsters or Humane beings..very susceptible to many manipulations…well preserved…and not only that…it was very durable…with all the test that we have done…we find out that compared to the Human skin and Flesh…this Slime Synthetic materials..were even harder that normal flesh..that 9 millimeter bullets shot from 5 meter away, could only penetrate about 1cm deep!!…”.(Doctor Elion Fellmir)It was amazing that such things could be found, I am relief to see such passionate scientist like him and all those that were in the Hall. But at the same time, I was also shocked and feeling profound that such amazing things could be discovered on the most weak monster in Fantasma. Listenin
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
