“Good night, darling” a lovely mother gave her son a good night kiss on his cheek and left the room.

A moment later, her ‘lovely’ son, as if he was possessed by an evil spirit (which he was) broke into a creepy smile and sneaked out of his bed to a separate room that was full of books.

The boy wasn’t able to walk so he crawled his way through the different books that were lying on the floor and after a good two or three minutes emerged out of the mountain of books carrying a small guide book which someone might mistake as a tourist guide book that tourists are given when they go to different places.

The boy placed the small book on the floor and started reading it whilst laying on the floor with his chest against it.

…

After a few minutes, the boy closed the book, the smile on his face vanished and got replaced with a serious expression.

The boy was obviously me and yeah I did snug out of my bed and read a book even though I was just a 6-months old boy, if anyone is wondering how I did that then that’s because the script they used in this world was very close to the Latin script that is used on earth. That’s why after a few months of trouble, I finally got used to reading the script of this world.

Coming back to the topic,

The things I read in that small tourist book told me a lot about this world,

First, the only land in this world is a continent named Galandora which is surrounded on all sides by an untraversable ocean called the ‘Ocean of Death’, a sure-death region that no one has been able to cross for god knows how long.

Second, there are three nations on the continent of Galandora, they are, Magnolia, Aurelia, and Amperia. These three nations have been in existence for more than a thousand years and have always stayed enemies with each other.

War has erupted countless times amongst these nations over the last 1000 years, but all of this came to a stop after the last war that ended 30 years ago with the mutual and unconditional giving up of any forms of aggression. Since then peace has been instated throughout the entire continent leading to the prosperity and development of the citizens of each of these nations.

I also came to know that all the nations on this continent are multiracial, what I mean by that is; there is no difference between humans, elves, beasthumans, and dwarves, no racial difference at least.

In this world, people are distinguished only in terms of their nationality, not in terms of their race. Although there are specific jobs that tend to give more weight to someone’s race but I guess that much is acceptable since some people tend to be inherently better than others at some things.

I checked the time on the clock and decided to read the book again for more information, I should have around one more hour left until my mother comes to check up on me.

So I opened the book once again,

Until the point where I had stopped reading the book, everything in this world seemed more or less normal to me but what I read after that made me lose my breath for a moment,

It went something like,

“In the past, the nations of Magnolia, Aurelia, and Amperia were known as the Aristocracy of Magnolia, Theocracy of Aurelia, and the Kingdom of Amperia respectively, but after the war ended a new form of government called ‘Democracy’ emerged into fruition”

The moment I read these lines I almost jumped to my feet.

Democracy? In a fantasy world? How could it be?

I kept on reading forward,

“Democracy is a rule in which the rulers or in more correct words, the representatives of a nation are decided with the help of voting from the general people without any discrimination being made on the basis of their race, sex, or social or monetary status. This form of government was widely accepted by the common masses and now because of that peace and prosperity has finally come to the continent of Galandora”

I closed the book once again, my face was drenched with sweat.

It was only after I finished reading that I realized something, I was unconsciously holding my natural call for a while now! And now I feel like my bladder’s going to burst!

I have to move…! Otherwise I might wet the very book that I was reading,

Holding my urge to get lighter I kept on crawling slowly towards my destination, the toilet!!!
