Chapter 1
Kakistocracy, in my eyes, means, it's a country run by the imbeciles.
In countries whose governments that were classified as a kakistocratic, its structures, starting with the transportation, were very lacking and underdeveloped in a manner there's no alternative mass transportation options in the country while the elected politicians were elected through by connections and appearances only, not by platform of their political party, or not being going through the meritocratic processes.
These kakistocratic nations, from the era I was born in my past life, the reign of Aldria's monarch, The Tenth Constantinian Era of Aldria, the previous eras before "The Tenth Constantinian Era of Aldria" witnessed a draining of talent, an exodus of skilled individuals seeking refuge elsewhere, and war, all while corruption festers unchecked in the shadows.
In the Aldrian schools, including my alma matter as Ethan Wycliffe, the Aldrian education taught the grave consequences of an alarming troublemakers—the rise of ambitious supremacists, the perpetuation of hypocrisy and wordplay, and the suffering of innocent at the hands of an individual such as Ezekiel Rahav of Erezar, an Edenianist, the last Prime Minister of that disbanded country, a war criminal, getting a seat as the Prime Minister whilst his affiliated movement, The World Edenianist Congress, that brought influence in some parts of the countries except Aldria and some countries, controlled the shots including those nations that used parliamentary system through its sub affiliated organizations with an example of one member of the parliament, Joe Paidman, a politician from "Labor Party of Rutriesal", had a link with one of the front sub organizations, The Labor Friends of Erezar in Rutriesal, the main 'suborganization' of a Pro-Erezar Interest Group in Rutriesal for "Labor Party of Rutriesal" and labor parties, that movements, a foreign agent entity, The Edenianist Movement, were also a threat that needed to annihilated immediately with no trace before it spread its venom in each sector to control and influence the perspective and actions just as the Edenianists in those days did so by controlling the countries and its governments, and industries behind the scenes for the interest of their Project Eden when that disbanded perfidious international movement religious terrorist organization was around in that past era of my past life world, the era during those times, The Three Hundred Sixty Ninth Charlottean Era of Aldria, proved system matters and why my fellow Adrians and myself, as per the wisdom of my former fatherland's second king, foster and prescribe evolving the system for the development of the nation and citizens to safeguard against the likes of those silver-tongued treacherous supremacist entities and their bribes.
As Galavryn Lysendel in my current life born in The United Covenant of Chevalynthea, as a royal, what caught not much of my attention, not really recent but a profusion of a past relic of my childhood studies out of curiosity in knowing personally about this world and the countries in Primora as Galavryn Lysendel 9 years ago this afternoon was [The Segliorian Constitutional Reformist Coalition For Better Segliora], a Segliorian constitutional reformist activist group made up of those "good Segliorians" who demanded for the constitutional reforms in their country to push for the first steps of modernization and revitalization, to be free from the colonial past, cult of personality, personality-based politics, and anti-intellectualism in that Southeast Oshethian country, The Republic of Segliora.
This group composed of what I categorized as "good Segliorians" cited my current life country, which in the official designation that used "two official state names, one country, one entity" system, Chevalynthea, one of the inspirations to look at, due to the Chevalynthean meritocracy, independent judiciary, [The Way of Balanced Equilibrium], and connecting, engaging, and working with the grassroots, for an emphasis of what should be a good governance in a country. The former Segliorian citizens I categorized, they moved here in the Realm for the better opportunity and security due to the SLP, its supporters, and the Segliorian government being ignorant and dogmatic in a manner I was reminded of one of the weaker yet large guilds from the game in my past life I used to play as Ethan Wycliffe, and one of the younger civilizations than my past life country, The United Crownlands of Aldria, The United Sovereign States of Filandria, an Edeniast-infiltrated cesspool a federal presidential constitutional republican nation whose cause of a downfall as a nation at the hands of my past life fatherland in my past life world was a case of inflexibility, incompetent leadership, and lacking the spirit of innovation and reforms according to the records kept by The Royal Aldrian Custodian Organization of Historical Records.
What's good towards these "good Segliorians" were deemed as "traitors" to the SLP's 'benevolence' started by the late Founder of the Segliorian Liberty Party for leaving their 'glorious' motherland behind in exchange of divorcing their Segliorian citizenship, a nonsense spouted by The SLP Central Executive Directorate of Governance when things in that archipelagic country were sub-par and obstinate mixed with a cult of personality, personality-based politics, and yellow journalism nonsense throughout Segliora itself while the 'SLP Cheerleaders', the foolish insects whom I categorized as "the bad Segliorians who are blind fanatics of SLP and its policies" were pretty much disrespectful and derogatory including towards other female occupations through their cowardice, vitriolic remarks, foolish behavior, pseudointellectualism, and ignorance in many topics such as their own country's constitution like this one SLP-ran 'survey' about "constitutional reforms", "state of Segliora", "amending the constitution", "impression towards the non-Segliorian countries", etc.
In this world I reincarnated at, Primora, there's list of reasons why The Founders themselves had many measures in place to make the country they founded 509 years ago with a political ideology called "Chevalynthean Synergism", "The Way of Balanced Equilibrium" ideology, and the establishment of [The Covenantal People's Unity Front] with its own party constitution, and the Chevalynthean constitution that specified constitutional mandate role of the CPUF - that was to have the well-maintained train operate smoothly non-stop, evolving and revolutionizing Chevalynthea, and building and developing the "[Chevalynthean Synergism]" road throughout entire Covenantal Realm and its magic system.
The Covenantalian philosophy, "The Way of Balanced Equilibrium", Vereinigtgeist, The Founders of the Covenantal Realm, pioneered 509 years ago, one of the components of the [Chevalynthean Synergism], together with Sapientiam Multiplicis, under the in essence, embodies the pursuit of excellence amidst a sea of mediocrity. It's about honing oneself to become the true sharpest sword among the razor-sharpened blades in all areas while steadfastly rejecting the perverted allure of name-recalling politics, popularity-based governance, the pervasive influence of yellow journalism, and misinformation. Coming from this someone who used to be from The United Crownlands of Aldria, my past life fatherland, where my past life country's guiding philosophy, "The Balanced Wisdom Path," reigns supreme, I saw parallels between Aldria's ethos and life because it both strive for integrity, wisdom, and progress, anchoring their societies in a bedrock of timeless values and unwavering dedication to the greater good in one's self and soul. Engrained in culture and way of life in The Covenantal Realm, like my previous country, The United Crownlands of Aldria, everything came with meritocratic processes and innovation in a way, as a former Aldrian, I'm basically proud to be reborn as a Chevalynthean right here in Chevalynthea as Galavryn Lysendel because not only there's items and topics related to my hobbies, but there were also the Chevalynthean magic system, innovations, The Royal Covenantal Ätherverein Orders, various facilities and places, and extensive list of additions to put the good use of what I learned from my past life country's [National Sentinel Initiative Class] and my previous upbringing and lineage as Ethan Wycliffe of Aldria.
As I was of my past self, Ethan Wycliffe of Aldria, the praises from these 'commoners' was by no means than a prestige for who I formerly was as a former nobility for my view, because in this country I reincarnated, The Covenantal Realm, not only was a leading at everything and remained the top spot, and had dedicated bodies for reforming and modernizing every area including its own constitution and its Grand Covenantal Autonomous Dominions counterparts guided by the principles of [The Covenantal Codex of Guidance Mandate], but also had secrets not any common men would know about it except the picked individuals, and important vital positions in the Covenantalian Governance Model that would been regarded as the highest state classified secret.
As both Galavryn Lysendel and Ethan Wycliffe, I hold no single dime towards this constitutional reformist activist movement because I laid out strategies and stratagems for each scenario and conditions I expected towards their ruined former home nation, and various ways to put these imbeciles of Segliora and their over-glorified 'gods' to their place.
While my female companion, Tina, was at the bathroom of a suite of a hotel we're staying at, Evercrest Seaside Haven Hotel, I'm doing what I would jokingly refer as multi-tasking after we finished our session at the training dungeon, and cultivation session, in this current dominion we're temporarily staying at, Abilsten, that was me by checking the amount of the Covenantalianische Drachentale, the name of the Covenantalian currency, going to my [Chevalynthean Hybrid Banking System] (CHBS) account, and browsing the Chevalynthean social ecosystem, with an omnicomm, a magical technology item equivalent of foldable tablet, laptop and cellphone, after the afternoon enjoyment, companionship, and relaxation 5 hours ago.
As for why I did this instead of executing actions to improve my level for this internet browsing session if you asked, I was checking for the one of the after-results of my schemes to Segliora and The Segliorian Liberty Party 9 years ago since it's a public knowledge that Segliora itself had no form of Civics Class before I was born.
The social media profile of [The Segliorian Reformist Citizen's Coalition for Transformation] (SRCTC) that had a profile pic graphic of a better Segliora with their agendas, I would give it an overall rating of 2 elite gold stars for the effort on what they were trying to do and their noble cause for the betterment of their country, Segliora.
Artistically and politically speaking, the profile pic gave off vibe the country must evolve, adopt, and reform for the sake of the next generation and future.
But what's the point when there were many blind fanatics, the "bad Segliorians", in that country ever since the year 1902, the year when The Segliora Liberty Party took power, the current state in the country known as "The Darker Archipelagic Lands That Knows No Bounds", "The Pariah of Osheth', was in a nutshell and reality, had a cult of personality revolving around the SLP and its founder, and praising its colonial pasts, the valid reason of why I added my schemes and plans on the schemes of The Founders of the Covenantal Realm to that Oshetian archipelagic state in the name of the Covenantalian interests?
This internet browsing session of mine, counting the previous sessions, there were ton of memes about those SLP imbeciles in this world's internet showed how much those Segliorian imbeciles, the subpart majority who didn't have a Civics Class and don't know world history, being UCVS cocksuckers spoke of the ill planted by the late Founder of the Segliorian Liberty Party, and the influence of the colonial past and Vesperburgian colonialism in the country.
The latest post by this reformist group that contained these memes of mocks tyrants to the loop of a male deranged supremacist who willingly lets his wife gets literally cuckholded by a VNFO cadre, I was almost on the verge of laughing.
This post created by [The Segliorian Reformist Citizen's Coalition for Transformation] had a set of drawings that mocks the SLP and its Politburo members literally licking shit that had the burnt flag of the defunct country, Vesperburg, and its political party, The Vesperburgian Nationalist Fatherland Organization. It presented the so-called SLP asslickers portrayed as the dumbest persons who does not know the reality, which was based on one of my derived artworks I introduced in this world, with the original credits from my past life world, Allegory of the Cave, being blind and ignorant peons as they were similar to one political hacker group from Barrusae, one of the countries from my past life world, leaving a dogmatic message they were against constitutional reforms back in the previous era because "they say rich become richer" in a manner of going backwards than to think of exploring the other routes to reach the status of prosperity.
And a new post anti-SLP came.
This newest anti-SLP post, like the previous ones, had once again had memes of "a person born as a Segliorian fighting against the Segliorian Liberty Party and the bastards calling themselves as Segliorians who supports SLP", and an anti-SLP message.
I started reading it.
"It's utterly infuriating to see Segliora embraced the Vesperburgian nonsense than discarding it! The SLP and its upper brass a bunch of 'Vesperburgian boys' were over-glorifying our country's colonial period and occupation under it!
Unlike The SLP, The Covenantal People's Unity Front, The #CPUF, is at least staying true to its constitutional mandate given by The Founders of the Covenantal Realm that had Chevalynthea be the most-developed country, a leader at all areas! You should at least take a page from The Covenantal Realm's practices and learn from it!
What's the purpose of #OperationNovaDawn that took down Vesperburg, the ones responsible for the starting the War of the Two Spheres together with The Northern Alathamvoyaz Treaty Confederation? Isn't it to put a stop to the neocolonialist ambition of Vesperburg and The Vesperburgian Nationalist Fatherland Organization (VNOF) during those times before it met its dissolution at the hands of Chevalynthea on 1910, 101 years ago?
Since 1930, 89 years ago, why were there more incidents of the SLP cadres and the top brass died suddenly from accidents no matter how much Jason Tariella and the SLP top brass denied it? It's because they are afraid of us, the masses, they silence those who criticize them.
Do you guys will think those SLP buffoons who said the constitutional reform needed a timing, will make it reality? Of course not! It's another set of excuses and lies to bait a Segliorian into believing them and their degrading supremacist pseudointellectual nonsense.
The articles and works published by Eldranth Arinthal echoed the consequences of the tyranny and dogma. You remember that article about one of the countries that used to exist 509 years ago, Königreich Ardentia, before it became part of Chevalynthea? That late Vorick Carudan Ardentia, the elder brother of the would-be 1st Archduke of Eldorhain, that met his and his faction demise at the hands of one of The Founders of the Covenantal Realm, The 1st Grand Duke of the Orlači-Hernandez Greater Isles? To those who don't know, during the "Königreich Ardentia"-era, Vorick Carudan Ardentia was power-hungry and oppressive, willing to kill his siblings including his parents to secure the throne, the absolute power of being the King of Ardentia.
In this message, we urge the Segliorians and the like-minded individuals to join us in fighting against the SLP and disavowing constitution now to move forward for the better future of Segliorian society, and be free from The UCVS worshippers that caused the plague, and this disgusting mindset that held our country back! Our forefathers and those who fought for our sake and independence will be ashamed! We are the only former country who used to be amongst the member-states of the #AssociationofOshethianNations (AON) in #Osheth continent, who had this laughing stock of constitution that had economic restrictions embedded when it should have been state legislation instead than putting it in the constitution! The SLP were the ones responsible why our country was kicked out from The AON 30 years ago including The United Nations! Our national hero and our heroes who fought and won our independence from Espalióra on Ianuary 1, 1700 would also be ashamed for this farce of unbecoming a Segliorian! It was a last straw and a humiliation to be kicked from the UN in the anniversary of our country's independence! Segliora didn't even have an access to the international market!
Us, The Segliorian Reformist Citizen's Coalition for Transformation, not only see #SegliorianLibertyParty as a bunch of a reincarnated late megalomaniac who kills his kin for the throne, but also a reincarnation of #VesperburgianNationalOrganizationFront, that needs to be kicked out from Segliora together with the traces of Vesperburgian practices and policies!
The violations done by The Segliorian Liberty Party to the Aeresia Accords of 1920, the reason why Segliora had no access in the international market!
0 Amendments in the 1905 Segliorian Constitution! Segliora is a laughing stock under the SLP Regime! This was 'good' achievement under the belt of The Segliorian Liberty Party! Zero constitutional amendments in the 'best constitution in the world'! This is the #SegliorianPride crap the degrading buffoons bragged about!
Recent Pulse Osheth, and The Freedom Quarters surveys say 69% Segliorians not in favor of constitutional reform? That's bullshit! It's a fake survey to fool Segliorians themselves! They're both run by a classified entity under the Segliorian Liberty Party, The Central Supreme Directorate of Propaganda Manipulation! They're fooling themselves! The Freedom Quarters was linked to Democracy Chamber, a disbanded nongovernment organization of the disbanded state, Vesperburg.
We have papers and files to back what we are fighting against the SLP regime! They're written by famous figures and scholars! The mentality introduced by these SLP scumbags to our countrymen are no longer tolerable to each and every saner good Segliorians.
Do we even need some necromancer, the practioner of the black arts, whatever the equivalent of non-Segliorian countries' magical system, to bring out our national hero and his revolutionary independence group back to life to deflect those nonsense? If that is the case, we will do it! We are confident they will discredit SLP!
Wherever you are good Segliorians, do whatever you can to remove The Supremo and #SegliorianLibertyParty out from Segliora for a REAL SEGLIORA!
#DeathToTheSLP! #LiberateSegliora! #DownWithSeglioriaLibertyParty! #The1905ConstitutionNeedsToGo #NeverAgain #TheGreatSegliorianScamof1902 #Reject1905SegliorianConstitution #ReformSegliora #LiberateSeglioraFromSegliorianLibertyParty! #MakeSeglioriaGreatAgain #SLPisTheVNOF #102YearsOfSLPTyranny #SeglioraViolatesAeresiaAccordsof1920"
'As much as I commend an effort that would spur another set of damages against the ruling regime of imbeciles, you Segliorians will never know the behind the scenes and the person behind name but it's all for the big scheme, and a trait of being part dragon race in my current life lineage. The ways to deal with racism, yellow journalism, pseudointellectualism, and cult of personality in that archipelago through one of the classified Aldrian playbooks will speak for the results itself just as Aldria gave those nations from the previous era of my past life a taste of it just what happened to the Edenianist and their so-called state based on their sacred textbook, Erezar.' Remembering history, including my past self as Ethan Wycliffe while reading the latest post made by this group in EpicenterGate, a Chevalynthean social digital ecosystem, amused by that activist group's post mentioning my pseudonym, and a suggestion of using necromancy arts, I closed the browsing tab, knowing there'll be memes that mocked Segliora including the deceased Founder of the Segliorian Liberty Party, Grendelito Zubiri, as I then shifted to another tab for another browsing session for a new article about one of the dominions and hometown one of my friends, Leicestershire, the place where the previous [The White Lily Pact Business Leadership Summit Forum] was held.
9 years and 16 months prior before I stumbled upon this Segliorian activist group of "good Segliorians" via EpicenterGate, Isaac Yew, a member of [The Covenantal Conclave of Erudite Minds], the current Orlači-Hernandez Greater Isles Domain Envoy to The Royal Kingdom of Farovilia, famously told during business leadership conference forum, [The White Lily Pact Business Leadership Summit Forum], "If one aspires to join in building an organization, never create a bad foundation. Just as a grand castle requires a sturdy base, so too does an organization rely on the strength and integrity of its foundation. It is upon this foundation that we build our aspirations and dreams, ensuring that they stand the test of time and weather the storms of uncertainty. Let us strive to lay the groundwork for success with care and foresight, for a solid foundation is the cornerstone of greatness."
The envoy's words during that event gave tidings towards countries such as Segliora needed a reform because the message was about the foundation, the very core of an organization and community itself, and innovation, but unfortunately, the psyche in that Southeast Oshethian country, and the Segliorian citizens living there weren't worth mentioning.
Bluntly, through my observation and analysis, with confirmed reports of incidents of those reformists getting harassed and assaulted by those imbeciles of SLP, the archipelagic nation would remain a frog in the well owing to the fact there were many genuine fake news and articles fabricated by the Segliorian mainstream media outlets used footages of the countries, and a wrongful citation that one of the countries in this world, such as The Royal State of Genovia having economic restrictions in its constitution, during the previous Segliorian Senate Constitutional Reform Hearing Augustus 1 last year, that had those nonsense garbage alongside the garbage espoused by one Segliorian' economic foundation', The Segliorian Better Tomorrow Foundation, got debunked a lot of times together with blimey outputs of the Segliorian yellow journalism, pseudointellectualism, and obstinacy.
There's a saying in Primora, for The Republic of Segliora, the Segliorian mainstream media and the so-called 'bloggers', never trust any books, reports, and articles written by the "bad Segliorians" but that situation will take a U-turn through my schemes in sync with the years-old classified operation launched by the Chevalynthean top brass since I knew the SLP itself and its ideology as a political party resembles a disbanded political party and a regime from my past life world I dealt with during the service of my past life country, The United Crownlands of Aldria.
'This was almost like the conspiracy theory of my past life country's second king being reincarnator and time traveler except no magic in Mundo. Still, as a former Aldrian, and as a practitioner of The Balanced Wisdom Path, as both Ethan Wycliffe and Galavryn Lysendel, the road of pursuing desires will never end in the same manner of building the road of Chevalynthean Synergism throughout the Realm and securing the country within the gates.' Completed reading the article about a showcase of culture and tourism in one of the dominions of the Covenantal Realm, Leicestershire, and the effects of the Chevalynthean magic system towards myself, an ehrsenschwertmagier, I took a glance at the stuff I prepared today located behind my back.
My usual 'luggage' I prepared all for tomorrow's event taking place at one of the Grand Autonomous Covenantal Dominions of The Covenantal Realm, The Orlači-Hernandez Greater Isles, through one of the artificial regions, one of its districts and one of the artificial regions called Akrathiléja, was in a form of a drone I created.
That 'luggage' that disappeared through my will and link, just now, was, it got stored to my storage ring without trace due to one of the encodements stored inside the "heart", the magic sphere core of the drone. If you were wondering about this so-called magical technology-type drone, it's one of my personal creations, an automated magic drone for my personal use, that could be described as a "multi-use" for its functionality overall that supported the notion of player-crafted items were better than the "stock parts".
'Greenlight for the plans in the Orlači-Hernandez Greater Isles tomorrow. The Central Leadership Board, and 'that', will do fine with the set of strategies I placed.' Smiling at those thoughts while I checked another app that was related to my plans, opening a PortalPlaza of the private chat group window of the EpicenterGate, I started typing to this private chatgroup I was part of to inform I'm checking out my hotel room at Evercrest Seaside Haven Hotel.
Just as I was about to nearly send the message to my friends there in the chatgroup, I heard Tina's voice and footsteps this way.
"Milord, I'm done changing clothes."
Looking up from that direction, there's a lion-eared girl with this somewhat neck-length bobcut hairstyle, smiling.
This liongirl, Tina Feyheart, her occupation was connected to one of my occupations, and my lineage as Galavryn Lysendel, one of the descendants of this country, Chevalynthea, that was me being a royal.
Her new set of clothing she's wearing, it was a light armor, a civilian outfit made up of an armored hoodie, fingerless gloves, shorts, knee socks, and armored shoes but don't let that fool you because the world of Primora I reincarnated was a magical fantasy world, and the presence of the Covenantalian magic system, Ätherverein, made it different for this reincarnator, me, about many ways to play with it.
That smile she had when she addressed as Milord, was somewhat playful that I remembered her jokes including the day of our first session together that was also part of our training especially with her colleagues. It was once again connected to my lineage, and my other actual identity, one of 'them'. She's been like that ever since but it's only being herself the day when we very first met including this current situation of training and outing in Abilsten she jokingly referred as a date with our actual identities and concealed. I allowed her to do so since I knew her personally, and gave her that order both as Galavryn Lysendel and as one of 'them' ever since the very first day we met.
After a quick message sent to the chat group, I smiled as I half-teased her. "Tina, you're once again using a playful tone to this disguised royalty, this same descendant of the Founders of the Realm, and one of 'them'. Do you need a small 'correction' to remind you why?"
Tina laughed, her blush about to show. "It's only being myself, Your Highness. I do admit I like being by your side and thankful to be one of your companions."
"Are you sure? It's not from 'them'?" I asked, playing along. "You know well 'they' keep joking me about having a harem of beautiful girls, an undeniable fact I can't deny."
She nodded at my reply but I can see her giggling and not hiding it her enjoyment of the tease, and what happened earlier.
We both levelled up.
While it's in my character and habit of mine enjoying beautiful ladies, the type of girls I desired was as long as the girl was cute, it should also match her personality.
Standing up from the bed with a knowing smile that had her smiling back, I told Tina it's time for to us leave Evercrest Seaside Haven Hotel, the hotel we stayed at since we're basically done including her bathing and changing from our earlier activities.
I emphasized the schedule, the plans I set, and why, because "an individual must be a razor-sharpened sword" as per one of the tenets of The Way of Balanced Equilibrium, the Covenantalian counterpart of my past life country's founding ideology, which for this case, training and obtaining knowledge due to this world being a magical fantasy world with factors I anticipated, and my own reputation as an ehrenschwertmagier, and being one of 'them'.
"Understood, Your Highne- I mean Balmuth Asberle."
Balmuth Asberle, that's one of the identities I use in a way it's part of myself just who I was as Ethan Wycliffe of Aldria and the deeds connected. It's not my second time of using a fake name.
As one of the royals, and one of 'them', in this current life of mine, this was another way of "learning, understanding, and seeing things at a different lens" without my actual identity shown through this disguise to avoid giving an unneeded attention because of decorum, and my current self's heritage. For me, this was another set up experiencing life and learning it akin to the tenets of The Balanced Wisdom Path.
Smiling at each other, with myself leading the way to the door, we went to the teleportation chamber for the hotel reception to checkout.
