Chapter 1 : Elven Imperium Exposition Dump
That time I accidentally shot myself in the dick and got reincarnated as an elf in a fantasy world of reversed gender roles. The reason for that is because only women can cast and cultivate magic here, however for every rule there is an exception but sadly I am not one of them so I cannot use magic either. That pretty much sums it all up, one minute I got no dick and the next minute I'm a baby elf being born which was not only very gross plus confusing but very traumatic.
Thankfully I was reborn in an Empire of Elves referred to as the Elven Imperium where despite my status as a male I was given some basic human rights and the opportunity to pursue an education. Something incredibly rare in a world where men were treated more like commodities that could walk and talk for not being able to use magic. The Elven Imperium is the largest elf faction in the world and considered one of the great major powers in competition for world domination.
The reason for this weird exception of rights towards elven males like myself is because unlike other species, elves not only take a ridiculously long time to reproduce an offspring. But will typically only be able to have a few children throughout their entire lifetime which can last tens of thousands of years. It is important to also know that throughout history prior to the Elven Imperium the population of every elf species has always been low or dwindling.
Not to mention that a good chunk of elves may die before ever producing any offspring. So to the Elven Imperium the lives of male elves are viewed as a more precious resource. To my understanding there is also something inherently wrong with the "Elf Seed" as natural elven babies are rarely ever born anymore. To combat this the Elven Imperium performs an 8th tier magic mating ritual spell under a full moon once a month to guarantee a generation of offspring.
This is how the Eleven Imperium have managed to maintain and grow their population for expansion. I along with another generation of Imperium Elves were born through this method. If I had to describe what it was like living here as a male elf in elven matriarchy it was like being treated as a second class citizen or a pet.
To put it bluntly I am treated more like property here than a human. For example should I be killed by an elven woman it would be treated as severely as it would be if she killed someone's dog or damaged property. Thankfully this only applies to elven woman within the Elven Imperium so should a human or demi-human try to kill me it would be taken very seriously and punishable by death.
The expectations placed on me by this society are to have as many elven children possible, preferably girls and to be a blindly obedient devoted and loyal husband which when compared to the countless non elf male slaves within the Elven Imperium or the outside world whose fates were determined on merely the whims of they're owner or a stranger, I felt lucky. As an Imperium Elf I do have a pseudo form of immortality related to eating something called a World Tree Fruit, which are legendary items reserved for only the greatest women within the Elven Imperium that could rejuvenate the flesh and soul. However it was considered a taboo punishable by death for any males regardless of status or species to eat a World Tree Fruit.
But even without the World Tree Fruit my lifespan could potentially last on average up to 60,000-100,000 years. Looking at it from the perspective of a former human 1,000 years seems to be the equivalent to elves for one year as a human. I would retain my youth until the 40,000-50,000's so I had nothing to really worry about when it comes to lifespan. In fact due to the elves extremely long lifespan many elves except nobles, royalty or people of high status will not even bother to keep track of their age, so it is not uncommon to meet an elf who has only a rough estimate or no clue of how old they are.
Empress Elizabeth Alexa Marry Wind the twenty-first the current ruler and most powerful elf within the Elven Imperium she is over 110,926 years old. Just for the record she has claimed to be 110,926 for the past 90 years. Anyone who dares to disagree or question this will face a fate worse than death or so I've been told by my man servant Sebastian Alfred.
When I was born into this magical world I was very surprised and relieved to understand the spoken language. Although it wasn't called English but instead referred to as the Old Common Tongue. Given that the Elven Imperium was made up from a vast collection of conquered territories and a center for trade as a booming economy the Old Common Tongue became the primary language used to communicate despite the many elf groups having their own ancient native languages.
Most elves will age normally like humans until they reach their physical prime; this is also the period female elves will unlock the ability to cultivate and cast magic; this typically happens in an elves' early 20's. This event is called the Awakening Ceremony and in elven culture it is viewed as the period when elves are no longer considered children. So for the next twenty odd years I would have to deal with being treated like a child and have a lot of free time on hand since elven children were not allowed to go beyond the walls of the Elven Imperium or house to freely travel without a guardian.
The big problem was that my man servant Sebastian Alfred was a human slave male who could not move about freely without risking his life in public and had a deep fear for elven women refusing to leave the house unless it was absolutely necessary. Not to mention my shitty neglectful elf parents who I have not seen since I was a born meant that I was essentially housebound for the next two decades. They spent there time abroad on "missions" but really they were just on a decades long vacation, my mother was a delegate and my father was one of her many concubines.
My personal opinion of these two people is general indifference as they are both deadbeats who left me at home to be raised by an old babysitter until my awakening. Sebastian Alfred was a strong handsome old man with neat short white hair and a fancy mustache dressed in a black suit who was kidnapped one day by my mother from his family and home after catching her attention decades ago. He raised me as if I were his own son and to be honest I grew to love and respect this old man as a true father figure and friend.
As a former human from a modern world I could also sympathize with Sebastian Alfred's story and treat him with the respect he deserved however because we were both born men in this world our opinions and lives were as cheap as grass so I dared not speak my mind out loud. Or reveal the truth of my secret origins as a former human from another world. This was because of the very real threat that some curious magic user would try to crack open my skull and poke around inside to see what they can learn or preform some bizarre inhumane experiment on me for the pursuit of knowledge.
As an Elven male I was destined to live a rather carefree or horrid life inside the Elven Imperium as a husband or concubine however thanks to Sebastian Alfred I could gain the knowledge and opportunity to do so much more. Sebastian was an accomplished Alchemist who came from a town with an adventuring guild in it and through his expertise of alchemy and knowledge of the world that he gained from dealing with adventurers. When the time of the Awakening Ceremony came I could realistically demonstrate a false impression of a genius talent in alchemy using both Sebastian's knowledge and the science of my former world.
If I managed to impress everyone during the Awakening Ceremony with my skills I would be allowed to attend an elite college. Sebastian told me that male elves who show an overwhelming talent are allowed to attend elite colleges which are typically exclusive to being an all female institute. This was a magical world that I desperately wanted to explore and I had no intentions of spending the rest of my long life living within the cage that was the Elven Imperium.
They're were times when I wanted to leave the house and look around the city as anyone else would after being stuck at home for years but Sebastian convinced me otherwise. Apparently being raped or kidnapped by a female elf or any woman in general was a very real problem in this world, as a former human man of my old world I could not help but scoff at how ridiculous that sounded. But after seeing Sebastian who appeared to be suffering from PTSD, seeing this gentle old man who usually wore a benign smile having a horrified reaction I chose to take his word for it.
The next twenty odd years were uneventful at home learning about the world and alchemy from Sebastian. I practiced archery but it was a tedious task and it took a very long time for me to get decent at it. Truth be told I had no talent for the bow but with so much free time on my hand I could build up the skill to wield it efficiently...
My new name is Blue of the Elven Imperium, the reason I have no last name is because in this society last names are only for elf women and elf men are not allowed to have a last name, instead we are given the title "of the Elven Imperium". Sebastian has explained this to me in great detail that officially this was meant to show that as male elves we are all born for the sole purpose to contribute and die for the imperium's "destined glorious eternal expansion". Which to me just sounds like a fun way of saying your baby making cannon fodder for Manifest Destiny.
But anyways after so many years finally today is the day of the Awakening Ceremony and the day I finally get to start my preparations on leaving this shitty sexist Elven Imperium to explore the fantastical world of magic and adventure beyond the borders of the Great Wall of Elves. Now that my body has finally matured and slowed down the aging process I am no longer considered a child in the eyes of elven society. I am a little salty about being stuck at home for over two decades but considering that I will live for tens of thousands of years, what is a mere few decades to me now?
For the first time I was able to go outside accompanied by Sebastian. We went to the city's magic temple and I was able to witness the city I was born in, in all its glory it was called "Timurton City" it was the most populated city for elves within the Elven Imperium and famous for it's elite magic college known for producing some of the greatest generals throughout it's history. The buildings were tall and of fantastical gothic design but still had that signature spire look I had seen in my previous life in works of fiction depicting most fantasy cities.
When we arrived at the awakening ceremony I was finally given the chance to properly greet and meet my fellow peers after twenty odd years. One thing I will never get used to is the Elves' colorful and bizarre features. For example some Elves are born looking near identical to the average human but with pointed or long ears while others will look like colorful rainbow vomit humanoids that look completely alien instead.
I myself lay somewhere in between with my skin color being fair but my hair and eye colors being an impossibly bright natural blue to the point where my eyes had a faint magical glow to them, this is most likely the reason why my mother gave me the name blue, that lazy bitch. The only consistent trait of the elves are the pointed or long ears and the beautiful feminine facial features shared among the men and women. To put it bluntly every elf guy here looks like a goddamn femboy including myself and unless it's blatantly obvious it's hard to tell whether or not the men around me are actually male or just flat chested women.
While those who managed the Awakening Ceremony examined the female elves to check for magical talent thanks to Sebastian I knew what to expect and came prepared with my creation a Napalm like bomb using the substitute materials of this world it made the fire burn green, I called it Elven Fire to give the examiners a false impression of my burning nationalism. I stepped up and loudly declared, "behold my creation through alchemy I call it Elven Fire it burns even on water", before throwing the bomb at a nearby large stone water fountain which was used to check for water magic talents. Sebastian had told me that this water fountain was reinforced with magic and could not be destroyed easily, thankfully when the bomb exploded engulfing the water fountain in green flames it was not destroyed.
Elven Fire was a jelly like gasoline similar enough to the napalm of my old world but even I was unsure of how effective it was or its exact comparisons due to using many substitute materials from this world, one unexpected result was the green fire. I loudly spoke up again, "beware my Elven Fire burns even the water itself and will stick to anyone foolish enough to touch it go ahead and try to stop my creation if you can!" It was a little embarrassing to speak like that but I had rehearsed the lines on what I would do and say exactly with Sebastian and he told me that it was the best way for a man to show off his talents during the ceremony. What else can I say? Although I had my doubts I trusted the old man more.
To my surprise it actually worked and I managed to impress the examiners along with all my peers when the female elves casted water and could not put out the green fire, they summoned a water golem who ended up turning to steam when it touched the Elven Fire. Normally elf males would be raised for the sole purpose of getting a good wife as a result they studied and practiced cooking and cleaning diligently at home for twenty odd years and would be sent to an all men's butler academy after the Awakening Ceremony. But not me, I gave the left over bombs to the examiners to be studied by the female elven alchemist present and was allowed to enter an elite college after my display of talent with Elven Fire.
After the Awakening Ceremony I celebrated with Sebastian we drank alcohol and ate a good meal together while boasting about the Elven Fire. I promised him that one day we would leave this city together when I graduated college and become a certified Elven Imperium Alchemist, during our chat I learned an interesting detail from him that apparently I would be one of two males within the elite college which was a historical first for the institute to have two males attend at the same time. For some reason I had a gut feeling that my new life at college would be riddled with odd behavior.
