*On the 6th day of the 8th month of the year K422 of the Armored Dragon Calendar, Rudeus Boreas Greyrat assumed the throne as the legitimate king of Asura, establishing a new royal family called "Greyrat." He completely distanced himself from the nation's four main Greyrat factions, an action that generated controversy, especially within the Notos and Boreas factions. The latter was particularly troubled because Rudeus Boreas Greyrat had already married Eris Boreas Greyrat days before marrying Ariel Anemoy Asura, who became known as Ariel Boreas Greyrat after their marriage.*
*That same day, it was revealed that Rudeus Boreas Greyrat was the second most powerful nation in the world after defeating the ancient Dragon God Orsted. This was confirmed by Perugius Dola himself, the Armored Dragon King, and any attempt at insurrection or protest was quickly suppressed due to the new king's overwhelming power.*
*With barely a month in power, Rudeus Boreas Greyrath, with the aid of his own unenchanted magic, which has been confirmed to be god-level, has completely renovated and rebuilt the capital of Asura. He has also decentralized the power of the nearly decimated faith of Millis and created new reforms, which will be explained below.*
*Slavery of any race is prohibited under any circumstances. Anyone discovered trading, buying, selling, or possessing a slave will be punished with 50 to 100 years in prison, with the possibility of death.*
*Free basic education is a right for all children. Failure to provide this education will result in a fine of up to 100 Asura gold coins for the parents or guardians.*
*All demonic races will be treated with respect within the territories of the Asuran nation. Any racially motivated act of violence will be punished by death.*
*Landowners are prohibited from exploiting their workers and must be provided with a suitable and decent work places with a maximum of 8-hour workdays and a minimum wage of 3 silver coins per week. Anyone who disobeys these orders will be punished with up to 10 years in prison.*
*Crimes such as rape, murder, adultery, fraud, sexual harassment, workplace harassment, child exploitation, child marriage, relationships with children under 18, or any other act that violates human rights in Asuran society will be punished with imprisonment or immediate execution due to their severity.*
*The new age of majority in Asura will be 18. Any young person or adult who attempts to treat a minor under 18 as an adult for employment, romantic, or sexual purposes will be punished with death.*
*From his first day in office, Rudeus Boreas Greyrath has incorporated several sets of rules and principles for the nation called "human rights," which continue to expand to this day, with more being added. The aforementioned rules were added in his first month in office.*
...
"Tch...what is this? Have the politicians of Asura lost their minds?!" King Miro of the Dragon King Kingdom said disdainfully as he looked at the latest intelligence scroll his spies had brought back.
Due to the distance between the two lands, this information was three months old, so the king's mind began to race.
'All of this points to a coup d'état in the nation after the news of Perugius himself in the capital...right now Asura will be weak and recovering...'Besides, with these new reforms, people simply won't be happy, hehe...' the king muttered to himself with a calculating smile.
"Now is the perfect time to invade Asura!" he announced as he rose from his throne.
Now with the country of Millis completely destroyed by the true Dragon God, The Dragon King's Kingdom only had Asura as an obstacle, and now, in his weakened state, it was the best time to attack.
The king did not believe that the Dragon God himself would be bothered by the policies of a nation, no matter how powerful it was, and assumed it was more like propaganda to generate fear among the inhabitants.
"Prepare the troops! We will leave in three days!" the king told all his subordinates, who attended and obeyed the orders without hesitation.
Miro could already see himself controlling the entire Asuran area as he watched Ars burn before his eyes.
This simple fact made him completely excited.
...
[4 months earlier, two days after the establishment of the new village of Migurd]
*Ding!*
[Stop the invasion of the Dragon King Kingdom when they reach the Asuran border!]
[Reward: Supreme Spark!]
"Hmmm?..." I opened my sleepy eyes when I received the notification about the ring and it took me a couple of seconds to process his words.
Besides the fact that it was the first time in years that the system had given me a mission, the "Ultimate Spark" was something I didn't fully understand.
I looked to my side and I could see Kishirika on top of me, still moaning and swaying her hips with pleasure at my touch.
Tonight had been exclusively for her, so she had ended up exhausted in less than a minute. I also reminded her why it's important for a man to have a large harem.
With all this in mind, and hugging Kishirika tightly, I murmured to myself to the system.
'Hey Morgan, what's this about the Supreme Spark?'
*DING!*
[ildk lol]
"..."
Yes, I suppose that makes sense, right?...
I let out a heavy sigh as I held back my anger and instead focused on conveying all my love to my wife in my arms.
Also, when I looked out the window I could see that it was still quite early, so I continued sleeping for another hour.
Or so he wanted to say, but it was all far from reality.
Now as the new King of Asura, I simply wanted what was best for myself and my children; the people and kingdom were a bonus.
But even as a bonus, I wanted to get the most out of it, so I would establish a dictatorship disguised as a democracy which in turn would be disguised as a kingdom as well.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to change everything in a few days...oh well, I did, and the responses were as expected.
Many merchants, landowners, slave owners, and nobles were arrested and executed, The wealthy class wanted to protest, but I simply used my [intimidation] ability and they returned to their homes without being able to do anything.
I could clearly see that this would be a complete culture shock for the entire country, but I am the king and this would be my paradise.
And i wasn't short of money; in fact, Darius's personal fortune was enough to feed the nation ten times over, considering the nation's population was ten million with a geographical area twice the size of Russia...
Yes, the medieval period is crap.
But there's no need to worry about that; I literally have thousands of years to figure this out.
But first things first.
I lifted her out of bed, leaving Kishirika nice and relaxed in the sheets, took a bath and ate the breakfast Zenith prepared for me, and left the house with Ghislaine heading towards Asura.
We would go there to pick up Reida because the three of us would be traveling together. Yes, we would go to the sacred land of the sword, the place where Ghislaine trained to become a Sword King and where Eris should be right now in the original timeline. But right now, Eris is a Sword King in her own right, and Ghislaine is stronger than Gull Farion ever was, so going there was completely unnecessary. Besides, none of my wives would leave me willingly, something I've realized.And honestly, I didn't want to go there. After all, it was only inhabited by the most barbaric swordsmen imaginable, and without the Sword God ruling, who knows what will happen to that place. If it hadn't been for Ghislaine's suggestion not to go there, I would never have considered it.
And taking Reida would be a declaration of power in the same way. Also, she asked me to take her to see her granddaughter Isolte, to bring her back to Ars and train her herself. Now that I think about it, it'll feel strange that your own grandmother is younger than you... but that's something she'll have to work out.
After all, I can feast my eyes on her beautiful breasts daily...
Since there's no one with a ring near the territories, I opted for the old-fashioned way: simply flying while they both clung tightly to me from either side.
Surely, with two world powers by my side, nothing would happen to me...
...
After about four hours of traveling through the skies, we finally reached the outskirts of the territories, which were just mountains. They said the sacred land of the sword was on the highest mountain, and upon arriving, I realized it was true.
The sacred land of the sword was right at the northernmost tip of the continent, near a cliff overlooking the sea.It's also the end, or the beginning, of the enormous Red Wrym mountain range, depending on how you look at it.I was able to calculate almost exactly that the dojo was at about 8,000 meters altitude, before ending up in a forest atop the mountain. This explains the eternal snow and the extreme cold of the region.
Besides...
'That was almost the same altitude as Mount Everest, and people from this world can be up there like it's nothing...' Man, Touki is a tremendous hack.Besides, now that I was the king of Asura, attracting attention was the least of my problems, so I didn't bother and landed outside the dojo in the middle of its courtyards.
"Who are you?! How dare you enter here?!"
"He flew! I saw him land!"
"Isn't that Ghislaine?..."
We immediately attracted the attention of several of the swordsmen in the area, who began to gather around me. Some of them recognized Ghislaine and gave me hostile looks.
"It's Ghislaine! It's definitely her!"
"It's the Black Wolf!"
Immediately, the swordsmen lost interest in me and instead began to surround Ghislaine, who remained impassive, one hand resting on the hilt of her sword, glancing at me sideways.
"Yes, I am Ghislaine the Black Wolf. Now tell me what you want with me!" she shouted, using wind magic to amplify her voice.
Some of the younger swordsmen took two steps back from her, but the older, more experienced ones stood firm before her, though I could tell they were terrified as well.
"Damn you! Lord Sword God went on a journey five years ago, and we didn't hear from him for three months until you killed him and took his title!" a middle-aged swordsman shouted indignantly, ready to attack.
"You didn't even have the decency to return, and now we've been without a Sword God for over five years!" Another scream echoed, preparing to attack.
"So what? Gull Farion was trying to kill me, my husband, and my daughter, so it was my right to defend myself. If any of you want the title of Sword God, you're free to come and take it!" she yelled, swiftly drawing her sword. Its sheer force was enough to create a sonic boom, sending several swordsmen flying.
"Aaagh! Damn it!"
"Was that magic?!"
"But she didn't use any enchantments!"
One by one, the swordsmen began to assume their fighting stances, ready to attack. Whoever killed Ghislaine would be the new Sword God and, therefore, the leader of the sacred land of the sword. The temptation was simply too great. "Haaaa...the swordsmen here never change," Reida said, resting his head on my shoulder and hugging my arm.
All the attention was focused on Ghislaine, so no one was looking at me. Even so, I analyzed the situation.
There were about forty swordsmen, all of them middle-aged men stuck at the rank of Sword Saint, and not a single Sword King.
The two Sword Emperors were nowhere to be seen, which I found quite strange as I looked around. Or so I thought, because when I looked inside the dojo, I saw a young man, around thirty years old, with a huge scar on his face, drawing his sword and heading towards me. 'His power is formidable...at least Sword Emperor, and that scar...he must be Timothy, Gino's father, who would be the next Sword God in the original timeline. But obviously, that wasn't going to happen anymore because Ghislaine was the new Sword God, and I wouldn't let her lose her title just like that.
The guy was actually moving towards me in slow motion, in my perception. My Dragon Aura could stop his attack effortlessly; I would let him strike first so he would realize he didn't stand a chance against me...
Or so I thought. "Nnngh!!" Reida immediately tensed, drew her sword, and furiously deflected the attack that was coming toward me. "What?!" Timothy shouted in astonishment as his sword was easily repelled, leaving him vulnerable.
His eyes widened in shock; I could almost imagine the confusion he felt when a girl no more than twenty years old could repel him so easily. But as she prepared to deliver the final blow, I stopped her sword effortlessly. A cold sweat ran down Reida's back as her attack was stopped. She glanced at me sideways, and I simply shook my head. "We didn't come here to kill, we came here to negotiate," I told her, and she nodded weakly, her pussy trembling with lust.For her, power was everything, and I was everything she desired, but I'll leave that aside for now.
I turned to the other swordsmen, who had frozen in place at this display of power; they had even stopped attacking Ghislaine slightly.
"Let's start over, please," I said with a smile.
