Synopsis
Alternative Title - "Since I’m Reborn in Another World’s Oldest Country By My Ancestor, I Guess I’ll Have To Settle On Being ‘Racist’" Through the years of my past life, the moment I was born, you could say I watched and observed things coming from this person whose family being influential yet low-key and hidden. It was a practice started by my famiglia's first patriarch for the purpose of expanding the network of our famiglia's business and intelligence with layers of front organizations and entities handling the operations as the 'public face'. Our famiglia's first patriarch, he was the starter of everything and the one who set the foundations of our famiglia while we continue building and expanding his foundations. One day while partially drunk after drinking beer cans, my device suddenly had a reincarnation offer by none other the first patriarch himself. After reading and understanding it, I accepted it. From there, as a reincarnated citizen of Blue Star's oldest civilization and state under the same ruling royal dynasty, after reading the history books and records, I now understand why the citizens of this country jokingly refer to the foreign persons from the younger countries and civilizations as 'youngsters' I'm now a full-fledged 'racist'! Shiveringly shocking, isn't it? P.S. Also published in Wattpad and Scribblehub

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

"Baka mitai kodomo na no ne"

"Yume wo otte kizutsuite"

"Uso ga heta na kuse ni waraenai egao wo miseta"

"How cute. The Martinez Presidential Government Administration and its Senators truly are nothing but bunch of lapdogs who wants Islas de Sol to go to war as per the script of that two-faced United Sovereign States of Belamor. There are even lemmings in this country who are against constitutional reforms or new constitution for retarded reasons besides calling those who are anti-war as traitors and shills. Yet those same many flocks fooled by a xenophobic propaganda keep barking about expenses going up, incompetent and corrupt officials, weak military, lack of foreign direct investments, and lack of tech transfer. While 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' and its faction is scared of Steinburgia, this country was a lost cause to begin with for its severe case of colonial mentality and having a Stockholm Syndrome. Oh, what's this? As expected for a third-rate country whose constitution that literally made it feel like new nation born every 6 years, a foolishness of removing meritocratic mechanisms, a classic another example of ignorance towards the constitutional reform and constitution at its finesse. Why would I now care for Islas de Sol when its politicians and inhabitants wanted remain a third world country when one can disavow Solenses citizenship, immigrate this coming Sunday, complete the studies for better schools and pursue knowledge, and start a family there in that better country they all hated out from jealousy due to its success and governance model system of The People's United Federal Domain which was modelled after Steinburgia? They really don't. Oh well, this was all nothing to me now for this charade."

At the bedroom, a partially drunk teen, Cedric Arboleda, a bit amused from the clown circus of Islas de Sol's political landscape including an article about the new Senate building located at Taguiano del Norte that had gone from 4.8 billion Pesos to 43.5 billion Pesos for costs, chugs down beer can.

With the connected Turquoistooth speaker playing the song while his laptop was turned on and showed a screen of a recent article of the government of the country and President Kiko Martinez, the current president, which according to the country's constitution, a head of state and government, the leader of The Partido por el Federalismo, The Party for Federalism, removed the performance-based promotion system in the country, behind the young man, there's a trashcan full of empty beer cars, properly sorted.

What Cedrick did? He basically 'vented off' at what he saw through; an act of The Republic of Islas de Sol being a vassal state, a puppet to a foreign power, The United Sovereign States of Belamor, the USSB, a foreign nation mockingly referred as 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' that had a total area of 45.5 million square kilometers as country, playing the stage set in the script written by that troublemaker.

His family told him, his siblings, and cousins to hid the views and thought in the media and cyberspace because of the yellow journalism in this country alongside from The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization member-states majority.

His patriotism, care, and love for his motherland and birthplace, The Republic of Islas de Sol, it was only a façade gig he had to put on as a 'Solenses citizen' under the cover and role of being a Solenses national team member.

Like his whole family here, the branch staying at Islas de Sol Cedric, the Arbodela, they too were also amused at the foolishness in this country including the close-minded ignoramuses for too being short-sighted and not knowing the cause of the problems and the ailments of The Republic of Islas de Sol. For areas such as commerce, the branch he was part of laid low-key due to that political landscape and yellow journalism kekkery in the archipelagic state as usual, but meh that's only a surface because his entire family laid low since the beginning before this era starting with the fated day when the Steinburgia's founding king gave his Famiglia a job.

Heck, in thee times, Islas de Sol and the Solenses, in their delusions from the brainwashing from The United Sovereign States, believe that The People's United Federal Domain would conquer Islas de Sol and that they believed their 'messiah', the USSS, should prevent The PUFD from 'conquering' the country? This was all bullshit and a classic example of xenophobic brainwashing. The PUFD including its Politburo and the Federal Executive State Council would not do that because should the PUFD Politburo did so that would be a violation of the wishes of the late Great Architect's wishes and that little blue book.

Also, if one counted the member-states of The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization, The Republic of Islas de Sol, a non-member state, there's variety of foolishness, dishonest intellectuals, and clown circus, thriving too in the political landscape.

Cedric, throughout his life, he witnessed black propaganda against the constitutional reform attempts and the previous presidential administration done by this country's mainstream media, full of yellow journalists, those black-hearted greedy individuals his grandfather and his elders told him and his cousins about, during his childhood years.

He witnessed previous presidential government administrations of Islas de Sol rise and fall with each succeeding presidential administration putting blames on the previous presidential government administrations for popularity mileage.

He witnessed the stupid baiting, "#SolensesPride" in each inch of Islas de Sol and medias because of his talents and abilities besides persons those who were of Solenses-descent winning the contests and competitions or getting recognized in the international news media outlets.

For de Sol herself, there's many vehicles illegally parked including in drive ways with the negative points for commonsense including in sidewalks where it was basically almost nonexistent. It was indeed laughable.

As usual, as the 'national team member' and 'Islas de Sol citizen', he held back as per the instructions and commands of his family's elders and the Famiglia Supreme Executive Council.

That "#SolensesPride", he was already fed up and amused at that cringy motherhood baiting shit invented by the mainstream Solenses media in Islas de Sol.

What "#SolensesPride" when – 1) the country's constitution itself caused the irregularities and discards of programs and policies from the previous administrations, 2)Islas de Sol does not have its own local industry or corporation on par with foreign brands that can produce a product for exporting and compete in the world market, 3)videos of Overseas Solenses Workers, the OSWs, the news of it that included a captured genuine clip of a crying 6-years-old Solenses girl not letting go her own father at Simon Hernandez International Airport, 4)Underdeveloped transportation system with no subway train stations, 5)Prone to flooding even if it's a single strong rain, 6)Lack of equipment and facilities throughout the country, and 7)Not combatting poverty, higher expenses, corruption, yellow journalism, pollution, deforestation, and climate change.

"#BetterIslasdeSol"? Those thoughts were all foolishness in the end unless there's one serious genuine person and group who would implement the reforms in the country including discarding 1978 Constitution of Islas de Sol. It's only a pipe dream impossible to achieve for the genuine Solenses who wanted a "first-class Islas de Sol" unless there's a hard reset, and weakening 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' and The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization in this world.

The political landscape in de Sol in general was like getting elected and appointed in the government because of connections, fame, and looks while the hidden gems that were competent, desire to improve the country, and incorruptible, would be an unfamiliar name to the voters. 

Cedric himself was one of the privileged individuals who were part of the foreign exchange programs including the ones from The People's United Federal Domain of Valenfield and the member-states of the Order of the Turquois Rose done by his Famiglia for his upbringing.

Valefield, that country he visited and spend vacation at together with his family, that used to have a good diplomatic relations and exchange with, was vilified because of the script of the 'Empire of the Sour Grapes', and The Martinez Presidential Government Administration, who basically changed the tune away from the previous presidential government administration of de Sol, the glaring weakness of the constitution of Islas de Sol itself that gave a meme regarding Islas de Sol being reborn again as a different country in every 6 years, the presidential election seasons in the country as set by The 1977 Constitution of Islas de Sol.

Even so, his Famiglia already predicted that including the color revolution in the Islas on year 1977. His whole family laid low before year 1977 in Islas de Sol, they had plans and backup plans when The People's United Federal Domain, the PUFD, led by The Great Reformer, the founder of the resistance group against the fascist regime during World War 2, brought the famous opening up speech on year 1950, that had the PUFD be one of the most prosperous nations after the Post-World War 2 Reconstruction while The Republic of Islas de Sol was a mess with the influence of Asociación Nacional Proteccionista de las Islas de Sol contributing to this unfortunate condition that made Islas de Sol worse because of that 1977 plot hatched by The Empire of the Sour Grapes, according to his family's connections in one of the countries, The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia, the largest and oldest country in this world that scared The Empire of the Sour Grapes and its faction, due to its heritage, astounding total area of 69 decillion square kilometers, and technological and economical prowess.

The People's United Federal Domain, one of the countries helped by Steinburgia including fighting against Neoglühweinbergisches Fascistreich, The Neo Glühweinberg Fascist Empire, during World War 2, was, genuinely one of the countries Islas de Sol before Islas de Sol was formed by The Castillean Empire during the so-called Age of Exploration dating back to the country's ancient times, had the trading relations and history. The heritage and proof in the PUFD including the tomb where the ancient rajah, and the ancient rajah's descendants there in the PUFD, spoke of the genuine facts and historical connections.

Before the neo colonialism kekkery done by 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes', Belamore, on Islas de Sol, and showing its hypocrisy in late 1960s up till now, the Valenfieldian from the PUFD won't never forget the help Stenburgia and the Order of the Turquois Rose did during World War 2.

The people from the PUFD understood the machinations of vassalization done one to Isla de Sol by 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes'. However, they were more indebted from the help from The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia including preventing The Opium Addiction Crisis Plot on year 1839 caused by The Great Fleurmont, one of the Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance member-states. His Famiglia too secretly contributed to the prevention to that perfidious plot.

Lately here in this country, Islas de Sol, after the 1977 color revolution ala regime change in Islas de Sol done by 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' secretly behind the scenes, there's so many things left to be done and yet his family kept quiet it including the real truth of the so-called 'The Black Umbrella Movement Revolution of 1977' in Islas de Sol with the lie-filled controlled narratives spouted by one of the subsidiaries of Belamor.

Since then, from the failed the Opium Addiction Crisis 1839 Plot at the would-be PUFD, his family already from the beginning anticipated it including what to come next as such they continue to "spread out and grow" from The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia, member-states from Order of the Turquois Rose, and The People's United Federal Domain.

The People's United Federal Domain and those countries sanctioned by The Empire of the Sour Grapes and The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization, they got their backs covered by Steinburgia and Order of the Turquois Rose, which was good including being a deterrent.

This year, his family elders agreed on the calculation that 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' and The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization will face off against The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia and Order of the Turquois Rose, with Steinburgia using various tricks he would expect and think of.

For his age, Cedric Arboleda already knew what's up. It was thanks to his family raising him well. While he won't use his other talents for the good of this country that were one of Belamor's vassal states with the brainwashed Juan dela Cruz and Maria dela Cruz, just as his entire family did so about privately pointing out and analyzing the war crimes, foreign meddling of other nation's internal affairs, hypocrisy and the data regarding The United Sovereign States of Belamore and its minions, as per instructed by his elders, over the years, he put on the façade whenever in front of the cameras from the media outlets that were from those nations.

Yes, he gave those Solenses, both Juan dela Cruz and Maria dela Cruz alike, a bit of their 'self-pleasuring time' and 'raging boner moment' whenever he won on the competitions starting from his childhood, it was in his eyes, still ludicrous because of the Solenses people and The Republic of Islas de Sol were too dense at the glaring obvious solutions to fix the country's condition including the non-government organizations that were linked to National Belamorian Democracy Foundation. 

The Republic of Islas de Sol and their 'colonial master', 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' and its army of peons, they were all courting death followed by Solenses, the term for the nationals from Islas de Sol, in the xenophobic mindset attitude towards anything related to The People's United Federal Domain.

So, today's the last days of him and his family living in this cesspool of popularity-based politics in de Sol as per the mission specifications since he and his family stationed were surnamed Vongola in actuality with Arboleda as a chosen surname for the Vongola Familia – Islas de Sol branch since 1839. 

As a Vongola who descended from the Islas de Sol branch patriarch, Jacob Bartholomew Arboleda, there would be no more charades of being Solenses citizens after he and the Vongola Familia – Islas de Sol branch 'relocate' to the PUFD as new citizens on Sunday due to the local politics shenanigans, and strategies connected to Belamorian Dollar de-dollarization.

For the fallout of his public persona, the "national representative of Islas de Sol", called as a traitor by the silly "traditional" Solenses and its keyboard warriors including the paid trolls of Solesen corrupt politicians, he would use the script that was half mixed with facts, and experiences for the shit to come. He does not give a single fuck on the day being called a traitor when he could single them out with no mercy since The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia and the Order of the Turquois Rose got anything and that Steinburgia itself were feared by United Sovereign States of Belamor and its minions. He could even add a theatrical effect of him crying and tell the Islas de Sol and the government did not help him much and that his family had to go private programs for cultivating and nourishing him as per the script for that moment goes.

From the beginning, Cedric already held back in public as a national team representative for Islas de Sol as per the instructions of his family for the charade and this public persona they crafted for him to use. He does not hold no loyalty and affection to Islas de Sol but to his Vongola Famiglia and The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia.

His clan already booked and sorted out things including documents.

Letting out a smile, Cedric could not wait for that, his public persona, of the upcoming days of being citizen of the PUFD just so he could further humiliate those de Sol citizens who were slow-witted in figuring things out the structural problem and in efficiency found in the government of the Isles de Sol.

That other country, PUFD, just like Steinburgia and The Order of the Turquoise Rose also welcome talents and cultivates them. For his "public persona", he'll now enjoy benefits and resources without being held back because PUFD itself were one of the member-states of Order of the Turquois Rose, meaning country's very secured and safe because Steinburgia, his family's ancestral land where the Famiglia's main branch were at. This was the set up.

With the expected set of moves from the side of The Order of the Turquoise Rose to come in the future, he knew the Tellus world order will shift with 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' and The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization collapsing, and higher chances of Islas de Sol changing its attitude towards 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' for a finale followed by a mental health crisis.

As much as he knows the purpose of Steinburgia's 'ignorance' and 'inaction' to 'The Black Umbrella Movement Revolution of 1977' by 'The Empire of the Sour Grapes' back then thanks to the sources and during the encrypted Famiglia meeting, if he got it right, the move that the Order of the Turquois Rose will play in the future would also completely shatter the illusion of the Solenses people towards the United Sovereign States of Belamor and shattering the hold of Stockholm Syndrome planted by that hypocrite plus because with the influence of the 'Arboleda Clan' hold in this country's market discreetly behind the scenes through the front establishments and organizations, it would be like causing a financial and economical tsunami without a bloodshed.

What an excellent strategy to turn those countries into a legion of homeless eunuchs! Having a total area of 69 decillion square kilometers for a country such as The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia was indeed nice to play with for bouncing ideas and plans.

Sigh, he imagined that if not him being a Vongola in this reality of him proud to be part of the Vongola Famiglia, he may as as well imagine of that "what if him not a Vongola" on the lines "what if he was born in any of the member-states of the Order of the Turquois Rose that were all meritocratic societies, including Steinburgia", it would be perhaps that'll be amusing of additional what if the non-existent him add pour more MSG to the plans related to the turning the United Sovereign States of Belamor and The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization into a complete cripple with Warring States Period mayhem.

As a Royal Hidden Blade, he even took part of the assassinating the rotten crooks for crying out loud! He just wanted not to hold back!

But that could wait.

Surely, it'll be a wonderful sight, isn't it?

'Hold your excitement towards that imagination, Cedric. Those days will come on Sunday after settling there as a citizen of that member-state of The Order of the Turquois Rose. From there, I can continue my training and contribute.' thought the black haired as he then looks at his sheathed custom-made blade that was long as odachi, Deepest Night, resting on the sword case above his bed.

Because of it, he then had another thought and smiled.

'That's right, I will now have more resources from The Order of the Turquoise Rose to use in public than decreetly than to tolerate stupid crap in Islas de Sol. Besides, at least I will not to get see the stupid face of that dishonest self-proclaimed professor who is an alumnus from the so-called prestigious De Los Santos University featured in television and Solenses media outlets including from the member-states of The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization. Oh speaking of which, today's the last day of him in the world of living.'

After that last joking thought towards the "treatment", he grabbed his foldable device located the left side of his modular portable table.

From there, he saw an unknown notification right on the screen with a yes or no for the answer to pick.

The message was,

[

Are you tired from 'boredom' of this world aka being held back because of circumstances?

Are you annoyed with residing in a mob-rate weaker country that was used as a puppet of a two-faced foreign power that is known for its hypocrisy?

Are you annoyed with being born in a country whose politicians and citizens of it were too insensitive not to take a look at the reality and their own backyards?

If that is so, keep reading.

On to the serious business, we all know isekai means otherworld. Stories that had those tags always involved with being hit by trucks, tanks, tractors, sedan, SUVs, or a person died from it with the main characters having memories of their past lives if not for the overused cliché of persons summoned to another world to save the day.

There are even stories that has the golden fingers, the cheats.

Next life, no knows what will come in the next journey after the current life. Religions usually say it's either heaven or hell but what if there's the other way too?

I know what you are thinking – what's this message appearing in your device? Is it a spam? No, it's not and never will.

This message is in a nutshell, an invitation, an offer to reincarnate to another world.

Now, now, I know what you are thinking - Getting an offer to reincarnate to another world when you have everything and a caring family that made who you are today?

]

Cedric chuckled a bit. His family indeed cared and nurtured him like that ever since including the secrets that included his family's real actual country of origin were from The Grand Royal Kingdom of Stenburgia.

The secrets were for the family's good and survival.

Unlike an influential dynasty of bankers and oligarchs from The Great Fleurmont or any nations from The Continens Mortem Currit Continent Accordance Organization, for example, his family upholds the code as they were the important tenets and values. The evidence was there throughout The Order of the Turquois Rose. 

Yes, he had everything. The charade was also part of the training as a Vongola. To serve the Crown, was a pleasure.

His father, uncles, and older cousins, always tell the dad jokes. What's the best part for that of hearing dad jokes?

[

If you are still reading, well yes, it's like that but keep in mind there's more to it that is they're doing missions and tasks I gave to them and our own purpose in Tellus from the beginning of Steinburgia's founding. 

I know what you are thinking, Cedric, but I watched and observed you growing up. You can trust me on this. You are the one of the many among my descendants.

I am very confident you can proceed to another step of your next life and training in your current self.

As for who I am, I will tell you – I am Alexandros Balthier Wagner von Vongola, the start of everything for our Vongola Famiglia, condition, and the one who started it all and composed the strategies and tricks for our family.

As one of my descendants, you all know me as Vongola Primo.

]

'Okay, this is surprising. My elders did mention Vongola Primo for our lessons. I am quite surprised for him talking to me… this was all thanks to him we're hidden and not being talked by the media or the gossip.' With those thoughts, he resumed reading.

[

Cedric, The Famiglia Ministry of Rites and Talent Cultivation, including your grandparents, parents, and your elders know this. Everyone in our Vongola Famiglia's components knows the next step and the isekai may happen earlier before the case of natural death because I can with my abilities.

Listen well, the world you'll be reincarnating at will provide you more experiences and training. That world, Blue Star, was where I previously reincarnated at after my death as Alexandros Balthier Wagner von Vongola.

Blue Star was…how will I say it? The vibe's kind of similar to that game you played, Beast Hunters because of the creatures there.

]

'What an exciting thought. That can be a good sandbox to refine my swordsmanship and the modularity craftsmanship principles I learned.'

 

[

Cedric, the offer will still stand even if you did not accept it.

As per what I set, the only golden finger I can give is you get your past life memories, and knowledge.

Before you decide, I will tell you about myself in that world – as Baelthyr Wycliffe, I basically made a name to myself in that world. Leading the Wycliffe Clan, fighting the creatures, fighting the enemies, it's like the early Vongola Famiglia period all over again.

I made what it had to be done including the compilation of strategies, manuals, and strategems stored in vaults of The Wycliffe Clan.

I'll be straight to the point - Cedric, the country you'll be reincarnating at in Blue Star is called The United Crownlands of Aldria as a Wycliffe clansman.

Aldria is Blue Star's largest country and oldest state and civilization bigger than The Grand Royal Kingdom of Steinburgia in your world. Think of it as Blue Star's counterpart of Steinburgia that'll even Belamore had a heart attack from its total area. It had memes, jokes, anything including being the birthplace of many innovations and inventions such as Blue Star's internet. 

While I can't tell you where I am right now because I am no longer here in Blue Star, should you reincarnate now or in the future, the choice is yours in the end, my descendant.]

'I did once think of taking the full path of being a Steinburgian with a Steinburgian citizenship instead considering I don't have a real sense comradery for the role I played during those times, and the foolishness of Islas de Sol and its inhabitants not looking towards the bigger future and understanding the need of reforms and modernization than to go with flat out refusal out from xenophobic nonsense repeated by the mainstream media paid by the corrupt foreign entities. Vongola Primo did say Aldria is the Steinburgia of Blue Star…so I will accept the next step of training and journey.'

With those thoughts, a partially drunk teen, Cedric Arboleda, true name, Cedric Arboleda Vongola, chose yes.
