As many will know My name is Steevio Voon Dragón ll, I am the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of the Dragon King, I am the son of Kirkland Voon Dragon and grandson of Steevio Voon Dragon first
I inherited the throne at an early age when my father died of an incurable disease.
It is already the year K487, so I will be 64 years old, an age where there is plenty of experience but a lack of strength.
My kingdom was very prosperous! In fact, we were the 3rd most powerful country in the world in our time but...
Everything went from bad to worse... many years ago my grandfather agreed to give asylum and education to one of the princes of our basal kingdoms, Prince Pax Shirone
I didn't know him at the time as I was very young but I heard from some guards that he was a most terrible man.
As the years went by he matured and gained My grandfather's trust and made friends with our strongest soldier at the time, the Death God Randolf Marianne
He married one of my aunts and in an unexpected event he begged my grandfather to lend him help to carry out a coup in his kingdom, my poor grandfather was deceived by Pax and accepted and he even lent him Randolf so that commit her request
That was the first mistake that doomed the Dragon King's Kingdom.
At first Pax achieved a successful coup and with the promise of increased resource export to our kingdom, my grandfathercontinued to support Pax.
But then...my grandfather was murdered...it is not known by whom...despite all these years the person responsible for my grandfather's murder was never known.
My grandfather died with a huge hole in his chest...
My grandfather's murder led to the first major destabilization of the country
My father took the throne shortly after but the situation became critical so my father decided to cut his support to Prince Pax believing that our help would no longer be necessary, that was the second mistake that doomed The Kingdom of the Dragon King
With aid cut off, the kingdom of Shirone experienced its own crisis, the people turned against the now king Pax, enemy nations of our kingdom tried to invade Shirone, but our kingdom had its own problemsIt turned out that the invasions of Shirone were incited by the Asura Kingdom, but due to our weakened position we were unable to do anything about it.
Miraculously, the kingdom of Shirone emerged victorious from the enemy invasions and there was a short period of calm that lasted only a few days.
Defeating the enemy troops did not improve Pax's image in his kingdom and a second coup d'état was formed which led to Pax's assassination and the installation of a new king... a child...and it just so happens that his regent was a former commander loyal to Pax's father.
With that new king established and with Pax dead the crisis fell on both countries
Political instability in Shirone caused:
Scarcity of natural resources
Shortage of wheat and other foods
Slave shortage
And scarcity of water resources (Shirone has the largest rivers in the southern region of the central continent)
My country entered a period of crisis again, my aunt who married Pax returned to the kingdom and had Pax's legitimate heir, her son Pax Jr.
The years passed and my kingdom gradually stabilized, a treaty was made with Shirone to continue importing resources
But...my father died of an incurable disease...
I assumed the throne at the age of 17...
The neighboring kingdoms were suspicious of my leadership skills, but I proved them wrong!
I got married, had my heirs and brought my kingdom out of crisis
Everything looked better but...
Sieghart Saladin Greyrat arrived...
He took Pax Jr and my aunt out of the country, they returned to Shirone, the Saladin guy made his way into the country to the castle and banished the illegitimate king and put Pax Jr on the throne
At first we didn't give it much importance, I thought that with Pax Jr on the throne, Shirone would be easier to manipulate but... I was wrong.
I remember it vividly, as if it were yesterday!
It was in the year K473, after establishing Pax Jr on the throne...they declared their independence from us...
At first I didn't believe it...but they started expelling the knights from my kingdom and They cut off the supply of resources until we liberated the country...
Obviously I declared war on this country...I had to show who was in charge.
Send an army of 2,000 men led by Randolf Marianne to end this insurrection
The results were devastating for us, all our soldiers were exterminated...
Even Randolf was defeated by Sieghart Saladin and his whereabouts are unknown... I don't even know if Randolf is even alive.
With my army and my greatest soldier defeated I had no choice but to free Shirone from vassal status.
The consequences were devastating and a second major crisis hit my country, from which we have not been able to emerge to this day.
-Fuck you Sieghart Saladin Greyrat!!!!!- I screamed with all my strength
I can't find any way to bring Shirone back into our possession...our people are either starving or leaving the country...causing more economic instability...
But then one night in the year K487...
..
..
-Hello!- a voice told me
I looked around and I was in a completely white space and...I was naked.
What the fuck?! Where am I?!
-.....!!- I tried to scream but no voice came out
But for some reason it resonated louder than ever in my head.
-Hey, are you going to stay there ignoring me or what?- the voice told me again
I tried to look at who it was but I could only see a completely white, faceless silhouette.
I can't see your face well....
-Oh of course you can't, but I can read your thoughts as you may have noticed- the faceless man told me
Who are you? And what do you want with me?
-Hehe, I...my friend, I am the Human God!, but you can call me Hitogami- Hitogami said
Well...human god or Hitogami or whatever...what is it that you want from me?
-Oh wow? You are direct, huh? Well Steevio, as a human god I know everything that happens in the world and your situation caught my attention hehe- Hitogami said with a chilling smile
Tch...yes...my kingdom has been in crisis for more than a decade and we can't get out of it....do you want to help me solve it then?
-Haha, of course, and also to take control of your precious Shirone again, how about that?!- Hitogami said in a playful tone
What...what should I do?...
-Hahaha, don't rush... that will be later! But if you want I can give you some advice first! - Hitogami said
Very well...and what is your advice?
Hitogami smiled macabrely at this again.
-Ahem!, Steevio as you know Rudeus Greyrat has revived, they will come to give the news and reinforce the alliance against Laplace, deny your kingdom's help to them and you will see how prosperity begins to get to your country, that will be the first advice for now!!, well bye I'll see you later!!- Hitogami said as he disappeared into smoke
I was stunned by this, denying my kingdom's help to Laplace's cause sounds terrible but...something tells me I can trust Hitogami....
