[In the 21st century, such magnificent and lush landscapes are nowhere to be found.]

[Evidently, bathed in this nature filled with true ether, even ordinary plants have astonishing growth compared to the future.]

[You carefully gather fruits from various plants, preparing for your research project.]

[Wearing a cloak made of leaves and woven shoes from hemp, you drink morning dew and eat wild fruits for sustenance.]

[When hungry, you fill your stomach with grass fruits, and when thirsty, you drink from mountain springs, resting against the branches of ancient trees when tired.]

[You long-lost experience the refreshing feeling of freedom.]

[Whether it's the exam-oriented education of your past life or the busy life in the clock tower, this is a comfort you've never experienced before.]

[Wandering through the mountains and waters, as the ultimate life form, everything in the vast land of Britannia is as familiar to you as a fish in water.]

[In this life reminiscent of freedom, you complete your initial research in the forest.]

[To further collect seeds of various crops, your footsteps gradually extend to the surrounding towns and villages.]

[However, what you see and hear makes you slightly shocked...]

[Bathed in the abundant true ether of the era age of gods, it's not just plants that thrive in this age.]

[Various beasts, fairies, and even phantasmal species frequently appear on this land.]

[Humans are not the only primates in this nature, the era is flourishing with all kinds of life.]

[However... whether it's a chaotic era or a prosperous one, the hardships of the common people remain the same.]

[The iron cavalry of the petty king has never swept into these peaceful towns and villages.]

[Yet, using the pretext of wartime mobilization, the residents of this area not only suffer from the lord's harsh taxation but also often face raids from bandits and robbers.]

[Tax officials sent by the lord appear imposing when collecting food and troops, but the protective guards, who should defend the residents, are always nowhere to be found during bandit attacks, often arriving late after the looting is over...]

[The knights of those noble families always uphold humility and compassion as virtues, and perhaps engaging in activities like hunting down bandits sounds too vulgar, tarnishing the glory passed down through generations.]

[You see many people in the towns and villages with yellow and thin faces, some even barely clothed and hungry. Despite living in a glorious age with abundant resources compared to the future, it seems filling one's stomach has become a luxury for the people...]

[Most people silently endure this rule of reality, considering it a natural part of their lives.]

[But you, who have experienced the modern political education system, understand the essence of its operation, all the bloody capital accumulation comes from the exploitation of surplus human value.]

[Without disparities, artificial disparities must be created. To forever lack a sense of security is to forever be a slave.]

[After all, how can the wealth of a few be highlighted without the poverty of the majority?]
