Thomas Blessed Geseen Deur Die homele

When we're young, we look at the world and we see a society... A little... Well, not one of the best societies

Racist, prejudiced... Oh, I'm too lazy to mention any more names, but you probably already understand. And I'm not saying this to victimize myself, to tell the truth, I don't care about prejudices in society...

When we are young, we tend to either absorb our parents' ideas and prejudices and take them with us, or become rebellious. When we are young, we tend to be full of uncertainty and insecurity, and we pretend to have a posture that is confident, secure and full of certainty. When we are younger and inexperienced, we tend to be more aggressive, reckless, and still be proud and insecure at the same time.

Well, why am I thinking this? Simple, I'm in a world that is even worse in terms of social and racial problems, they are worse simply because there are different species, with different characteristics, and with unique and different powers.

Some intelligent species here can create water and fire out of nothing, others summon monsters, some can fly and still be rational.

I came into a world like this.

- Ah... it was a shame. Indeed, a shame. - I interrupted my reflection and muttered this while looking at the severed head on the magical enchanted spear. The tanned skin, black hair and blue eyes, now empty and lifeless, could no longer represent the being that that head once belonged to: Lorian Okrazew.

Death is cruel, isn't it? She takes everything we have achieved during our futile lives. She does not discriminate against anyone and kills without looking at who. Despite this, I still found death unfair; Some people died early and lived a short time, others took a long time to die and lived a long time. Some died in a pathetic way, others in a brilliant way, others in a noble way, others suffering, others had a calm death. Not even inequality, which seemed to be distributed equally, was really like that.

Some people are more similar to others, others are born as twins, although different in personality, they would be the same in appearance.

However, is inequality really a bad thing? In fact, if we stop to think, not all inequality is bad, but specific types of inequality, such as: social, financial, educational inequality.

For example, if there were a world where there are different cultures, but everyone is beautiful, despite having different appearances, no one would care about this inequality in appearance, as this would not be something that would give a certain advantage in that world.

The inequality and amoral injustices of the world were a fact. As difficult as it was to accept that the world didn't care so much about the morality and justice that most people value so much, we had to live with it, because we could do little other than control our own actions, but even so, we felt angry when someone breaks the imaginary rules we create.

In fact, we don't even know if we really have free will and can control our own actions. This only bothered us even more, as it made us feel a unique sensation; the feeling of not being in control of our own lives, the feeling of being powerless in the face of reality, and the feeling of doubt whether or not we are slaves to our destiny - if it exists, obviously.

If we stop to think about it, it was a funny fact; us, thinking beings, thinking we are so rational, as long as we impose imaginary rules about what we think is right and wrong about the world, and we still get upset when life doesn't fulfill what we demand of it, even though we know that life doesn't is forced to follow and not even give us what we want.

I thought this as I looked at the crowd of villagers and a few deserting soldiers; obviously from the defeated army of Lorian okrazew.

I observed the crowd, which seemed very restless, I didn't say anything for a long time while I thought about that. Most people in the crowd seemed uneasy and worried about what I might be thinking.

Different people in the crowd had different reactions down to the smallest detail, but comparing them, they could see that the reactions that became common among them were fear, anger, anguish, sadness, and worry. some were muttering things like "Oh, great deity, protect us", or just praying, or muttering other meaningless things.

Any individual would feel a slight boost in their ego seeing that they had such magnificent power over other beings, but I was angry.

This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

Basically, after Pererê's empire was conquered and dominated part of western Okre, one of the Lucanian kingdoms, one of the kingdoms on the continent of Lidia, everything seemed fine. I was so soft. Despite the work that being a lord required, I was particularly fine, after all, I returned to my territory to rest after I "accidentally got injured". Until the idiot Lorian, one of Lucaniano's old generals, didn't accept the surrender proposal and continued with the remaining part of the idiots who still thought they could win a war that, even before it started, was already lost. Per

The Lucanians tended to be a proud species, at least most of them. After all, they were born with the ability and natural talent to speak and invoke spirits, in addition to their culture of overestimating their own race and placing them as descendants of God, those who inherited the earth, such religious nonsense.

We would gladly accept if Lorian Okrazew surrendered, because if he surrendered, we could use him as an appeaser for the nervous population. The kingdom of Perere is winning the war, however, as soon as we win it, we need the Lucanians of Okre to stay quiet and accept the declaration that that was our territory, so we welcomed the scenario where someone who had a good relationship with them would surrender, and someone who wouldn't be labeled a traitor left and right, as the ancient king of Okre, Julian de Olivia, had taken the government through a rebellion, after which, he governed in a very irresponsible way , so irresponsible that even the majority of the people themselves got angry. After all, no one likes being practically cheated out of excuses for paying taxes.

Lorian is a politician and general who had a very good reputation and relationship with the people. Because of his notable deeds, he gained favor with the people.

Lorian okrazew was a stubborn man. We even offered a proposal that he would not be killed and would become a luxury slave if he surrendered, but he continued in the rubbish resistance.

Honestly, he was really stupid. Even though the Perere empire was unreliable and there was a certain chance that they would mysteriously eliminate Lorian as soon as the dust settled, we weren't going to kill him, and the reason was simple: why would we eliminate a luxury slave? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know?

Well, not the entire kingdom of Okre participated in the resistance, after all, we dominated the west, east and north. The southern part was difficult because it was between the mountains: where the king, Julian, was also. Just a portion of the southern part, where Lorian commanded.

When I think about it, it was funny; Did the king and Lorian really think they could win?

Seeing my silence, the crowd became more and more anxious. What if... we feed things a little?

" His. "

"Yes?"

- Remove Lorian okrazew's head from the spear. - After I said that, Lian was confused, but he did as I said.

Lian removed Lorian's head from the spear. I watched him remove it, and I laughed a little imagining what he would have to do.

- Use it as a ball.

- ... As? But sir, can this-

I got up from the wooden chair I was on. I was already feeling uncomfortable, after all. I took Lorian's severed head, and started to make a little embassy. I used his head like a football. All in front of the crowd.

My boot was covered in blood.

thud *thud

The crowd was astounded.

" C-c-how dare he."

"Not this.."

" God Relian... have mercy on us!*

So, after a while of playing around, I kicked Lorian's severed head towards the crowd. The head grabbed a woman, who got scared and threw it away.

- And... ahhhhh. - Some in the crowd screamed and moved away from the head

At that moment, they felt true terror.

- Silence

The crowd fell silent.

I paused strategically to observe the crowd. Even though most of them were confused and scared, they were understanding what I was saying, after all, it was all true. Just to increase their anxiety even more. That would help me later.

- People of Okra, due to past events, our kingdoms went to war and although we offered you an opportunity to surrender, we planned to give your people a second chance. We made our proposals, and they all respected your religions, cultures, and were even thinking about building temples for your Gods and public schools to offer education to the poorest, however, you ignored our proposal and continued the war.

I spoke quickly, after all, with the speed at which I expressed my ideas, they would absorb my ideas better and tend to agree with them because they had not

time to think and propose a counterargument. It was already difficult for most of them to think rationally in the midst of so much terror.

Well, what I said was actually true; After we won the war, we would respect their culture and intend to maintain the Okra culture, both religion and customs, and mix it little by little. It's a good strategy, as it makes the people get used to the new situation with the new leader more easily.

" We would build public schools, things that your king would hardly do. We would take thousands of families out of hunger, help those in need, and what would we get in return? Contempt! You spat on the plate that was offered to you and demonstrated your ingratitude! However, don't worry. I am merciful, and I know that you have been deceived by the vile Lorian Okrazew. They deceived you, manipulated you and made you commit vile acts. However, you can now renounce the ideas of Lorian, admit your sins, and swear allegiance to Pererê's empire, and I, Thomas Geseën Deur Die Hemele, will offer you one more chance - a chance you may never have again in your life! Of course, you didn't go unpunished; They did a few years of slave labor, just 5, however, after those few years, they would be free and recognized as citizens of Pererê in full rights! Will you continue to follow the ideas of the shadow of the dead leader who deceived and betrayed you, or will you listen to me and redeem yourselves? Let these vile ideas die with Lorian okrazew."

The crowd, previously quiet but agitated, apparently seemed calmer and more lively now.

It was a shame, because I thought someone would start shouting "Long live Lord Thomas!" in the crowd, and soon, with the herd effect, everyone would start shouting that, but here it was the raw, cold reality. The crowd was too nervous to do something like that, and all they could do was keep their heads down.

Ahh, if a person shouted "Long live Lord Thomas", I would feel so satisfied that I would call this being a being of light. It is a shame.

I turned around; I was planning to return to Pereré's empire, and go to my house, I slept all day while I leave the rest of the work to my capable slave, Linda.

-"his."

" Yes."

- Prepare a message for the king. Write: Lorian okrazew's resistance was completely defeated and we only suffered some casualties. The casualties were not many, around 123 soldiers, the total will still be counted, but this is the estimate.

" Ok. I'll write immediately and send it through a postman through the dimensional portal.*

"Excellent."

Ah, dimensional portals: the wonder of the century. It would be a great idea to open one in the middle of the southern area of Okre and make a surprise attack during the Lian Rebellion, but portals like this take a month or so to open because of the insane amount of folk wish (Que) required. for them. Furthermore, calculations, programming, and connections between one portal and another have to be carried out. It's too complicated

"Huh. " I sighed. It had been 24 years since I came into this world. It was hard as hell to get here, but here I am. I achieved a position of respect and prestige.

It's time to go back to my mansion in Pereré, and sleep the whole day...
