*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"Excuse me, dear."
"Did I tell you not to bother me, Rudolph?"
"Gulp!"
The Emperor felt actual terror for the first time in her life. She feels like she is entering the domain of death, where one wrong step will be the end of her. Something inside of her warns her that her next sentence will either kill or save her.
"We want to read the future book of Miss Mirai. I would like to ask if that perhaps could have disastrous consequences for us."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...gulp."
The Emperor held her breath. The stare of the young man made her legs tremble in fear. The Emperor, who has gone against all manner of monsters during her career, is acting like a scared kitten in front of the silent young man.
"No. It's like reading a normal book."
"Haah… Just like reading a normal book?"
"Yeah. Knowing the future would do absolutely nothing if you don't do anything to make it a reality. Your present action dictates your future, not an inanimate object."
"But what about the knowledge inside the book? What if it changes us?"
"Any book capable of doing that, Rudolph. A book's job is to transfer knowledge into the reader's mind, make them think, reflect on the new knowledge, and a healthy mind would adapt to the new knowledge. You should read more, Rudolph."
"Ah… I suppose so. Thank you, dear. Sorry for bothering you."
"Yeah…"
*Click*
Oh, thank Goddesses!! I thought I was going to die!!
"How was it, Prez?"
"Don't come down there unless it is extremely important. Your trainer is an entirely different person. He told me that it should be okay to read the book. For him, the book might as well be another fiction book, as it is our current actions that determine the future, not the book itself."
"I see… Alright then!! Let's see our future fate!! I wonder how amazing I will become!!"
"It seems that trainer got the biggest section of the book, Teio. Let's see…"
The group begins reading the forbidden book of the future. Since the young man seems to be in the middle of the Crimson Golden Age, he gets the largest number of pages compared to the rest of the actresses.
They learned that Igo Heita will become the 21st-century Genghis Khan. He will have so many children with so many umamusumes that his DNA will become the foundation of generations to come. As humans and umamusumes colonize the planets, his DNA becomes one of the few things that connect them all. That's just how massive his influence was on future generations.
All of his direct descendants also inherited his crazy-for-progression lifestyle, the most important inheritance of anything in the world. Money, status, and land will become nothing if they are inherited by a dumbass, but a bottle of air can become the foundation for a multi-millionaire company in the right hands.
"Whoa!! Trainer's children are amazing!!"
"I think you're focusing on the wrong thing, Teio. You can just skip over the fact that he will have so many children that his DNA becomes the one thing that connects all sentient beings."
"How many children does he need to have to achieve that?"
"With whom is the important question. It said that he has children, but can we know any of his partners?"
The group turns the page, and there are at least 30 pages listing Igo Heita's partners. Amongst those names are theirs.
"This gives mixed feelings."
"I guess we should know from the start what kind of man he is. There's no way for him to be satisfied with only one woman."
"He likes me, but he also cheats on me!! AAHHH!! I don't know what to do!!!"
"Sigh… What should we do, Rudolph? Should we tell him?"
"I don't think it's a surprise for him, McQueen. I think he'll just be delighted and smug about it."
"Yeah… That does sound like him. Let's turn the page and read more. I want to start forgetting about this whole debacle about his children."
With massive headaches, the group of umamusumes turns the page and finally reads about the Crimson Golden Age. The book begins with a retelling of the umamusume racing scene before Igo Heita's arrival. The Umamusumes racing scene has stagnated, rarely does any umamusume reach legendary status, let alone mythical.
The young man came bearing his fangs against the world and challenged what it means to be a trainer of umamusumes. The trainer was meant to be a warm guiding light to their trainee, but he acts more like a monster who threatens his trainees so they will improve.
"Yeah… That does sound like him."
His methods went against the common norm of the time, and many were appalled by them. Thankfully, his most important ability, to never give a fuck, comes to the rescue all the time as he continues to become the monster who pushes his trainees to greatness.
To prove himself and his training method, the young man challenged the greatest in the world, The Big Red and The Wonder Mare, to name a few. The path to the finish line wasn't as smooth as many would like to believe. Trial after trial, failure after failure, mockery after mockery, the young man stands on the lonely hill as he has proved himself against the torrent stream of the world's norms.
No one can truly pinpoint when the age truly starts, but it's believed that the young man's charisma allows him to pull those whom he has defeated into his view and make them his brainwashed pupils. He bears his fangs against the world, and his perseverance allows him to devour everything. This age brings forth what many believe to be the most exciting age of umamusumes racing, as racers race with their life on the line. One of the young man's famous lines supports this fact, and that line is.
"If you're not first, then you're last. The podium allows second and third, but in reality, the first is all that matters. The press interviews the second and the third, but everyone only reads what the first has to say. The second and third might as well be the last."
