Prolouge : Anonymous in a different world.

Where is this place?

Hajime blinked.

It was a rustic style house. Rough brick walls, rough wooden ceiling and a warm fireplace.

Large, calloused hands came from outside of his peripheral vision.

Oi! What's going on?

"Oh my god, Dear, he has your eyes!"

The man coddle Hajime gently with sparkling eyes. He was very handsome, a flawless face, sharp jawline, black hair and green eyes.

A woman came into view. She was very pretty, like the man, she had black hair and Sapphire-like eyes.

"FuFuFu~ but he has your Black hair~ Our Cutie~ little~ Arthur."

Holy shit. I'm a baby! Also, I'm apparently named Arthur.

Ten years blinked by.

My name is Arthur, just Arthur. I'm a commoner and commoner's don't have last names.

I am the son of the Baron August and Baroness Cathy.

This world is called Yggdrasil, as the continent is named, is completely different from earth.

Different how? Well, there's magic here! Although... Due to that fact, the world is incredibly behind technologically, when compared to earth.

Hygiene is a mess for the lower class, taxes are high as ****, the middle class and higher class continuously bullies us– there are many problems... But the worst of the many problems present in this world can't compare to this one.

The Dominant gender in this world is the females! Which is bullshit.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not being sexist– or maybe I am– but biologically speaking, Men are superior in almost everything. It stays true to this world except for one thing, magic.

Yep! Magic exists here, but women have a higher sensitivity with Magic compared to men.

The problem lies in how there are eight times as many women compared to men.

Can you see the problem? Yeah, exactly.

We men are outnumbered and outgunned.

Naturally, women rose to being the dominant gender.

To be frank, I have no problems with that. What I have a problem with is how dad is getting harrased by that bitch and our people is suffering because of it.

For context, my dad is a Baron, the highest position in the lower class. As a baron, he is in charge of a hectare of land, and all the people in it. We were happy, the people under dad was happy– until Karen Ashley, the eldest daughter of the Ashley househould caught wind of our family secret.

In our territory, we stumbled across a large cave system abundant with ore and magic crystals, more on that later.

Before it could be reported to the king; however, the Ashley Family proposed a marriage first. That's where the bullshit comes in.

Dad had a wife (mom) and me! Since the Ashley Family was higher in status, we couldn't refuse.

Mom's title of being the one and only wife was replaced by Karen and she became a concubine. Total bullshit.

The king only heard the situation when the knot was tied. The Ashley family was then promoted from Count to Earl while we stayed Baron under heavy taxation and mistreatment. Mom and Dad were devastated.

I'll admit, sometimes I can't understand their self-sacrificing nature. When he came across the mine, he was joyous because he could bring the standard of living up in our country, a long generational dream, only for it to be taken away.

That day on my tenth birthday, I vowed to whatever devil or demon could hear me, I'll sacrifice the entirety of the Ahsly family– starting with Karen.

With a bag filled with weapons and camping equipment, Arthur left with only a note.

"Dear Mother and Father,

I'm in a journey around the world to find my self. I promise to come back and restore our Family's honor and free our people from the Ashley's rule.

I will be gone for five years at most, keep safe.

Yours Truly,

Arthur."
