The Black Maelstrom of the Imperial Sword Kingdom

Chapter 2

(Flashback - ???? Years Ago)

Inside the establishment's one of its private rooms, a silver-haired male wearing hoodie jacket grabs a bowl of kropek at the comments made by one of the netizens regarding the debate of the strongest swordsman character towards the swordsman being weaker than any one of The Warlords of 13 Seas.

The strongest swordsman character from this manga, The Pirate's Two Piece Legacy, was his favorite character from his childhood and inspiration of himself taking up the way of the sword. Heck even that red-haired swordsman character, the rival who was one of Warlords of the 13 Seas, Youko, were also one of his inspirations as a swordsman.

But why can't the otakus shut the fuck up about that matter, that issue, and watch the story unfold? This was like shipping wars or fights towards the pairing any of the characters.

He closed the tab of this forum, it's a bit too nerdy, and a waste of time.

Practicing swordsmanship as one of his hobbies was a norm. It's an alternative for firearms in the battlefield, and part of the life. His parents encouraged it to use firearms. That's what was it was expected from being part of the Clan, and as a sword cultivator. Good thing feats of going beyond Mach 10 without magic alone in this world of Astralis for speed, was a normal if one's a cultivator, not the "normals". Guns, missiles, and tanks were nothing in the eyes of a cultivator. Though sickness and ailment would be a hindrance as what would his ancestor, the father of Samario Catapang, Alfonso Catapang, say bluntly...unless there's a way to negate the conditions of the human body, it would be like those immortality cultivation stories. The "normals" bluntly had it worst than the long-lived cultivators though because...they're normal humans and non-holders of an item that made cultivator a cultivator.

The Grand Western Blue Sea itself was...a bit disappoinment for the way things were in actual reality, and social cohension, followed by most pro-Veridicia politicians defending Veridicia and favoring the Veridicans and its own 'state' as if they were 'democratically elected' by the weary Western voters of their respective sovereign countries to be the mouthpieces of a foreign country than to do the job of representing their constitutents who elected them the first place in the elections whilst the East having years of tradition, history, and evolution, remained growing with many more techniques, tested methologies and procedures, and most of all, inventions and concepts born there including [The United Alliance of Eastern Continent States].

Currently, the world of Astralis itself was on the stage of a Cold War with on-going proxy wars outside the Eastern Grand Lane started by United States of Ethalica and the Ethalican neo-colonialist interventions, followed by The State of Veridicia after the 'establishment' of a Veridican state on 1947, and launched attacks against the native Mityaraians and stealing the Mityarian lands in Central Aroya, and other countries, those occupied zones subjected to the Veridican apartheid, which to this day still on-going with more Veridican settlers occuping the stolen lands and properties of the former owners they massacred, another violation of League of Nations International Resolution 24, makes it more appalling for having a foreign puppeteer that violated sovereignty.

Settler colonialism, and The State of Veridicia, not that he should speak of in the public eye but his clan, his family, told him about the long game, the plans for the future, the new world order without the Veridicans around and erasing the existence of the Verdican sacred texts throughout the entire Astralis and the archives itself.

Of all the human races in this world of Astralis, that one with having those particular genetic markers and traits, the Veridicans, the late 6th Prime Minister of 'The State of Veridicia', Menachim Kohen, one of the typical 'Founding Fathers of the State of Veridicia' was more questionable ever when the late Prime Minister, Menachim Kohen, before he became a Prime Minister, led a Eldrothainist terrorist attack on King Davi Hotel bombing on year 1946 that had The United Kingdom of Raumathan and Eveden, one of countries found in The Grand Western Blue Sea, marked [The Founder of the Central Ministry of Special Activities and Operations Ministry], as a terrorist whose disappearance during his prime minstership, to this day, remained unknown and unsolved in public records.
