Genesis of chaos

*Chapter 1:Genesis of chaos*

After the world-wide blackout that took place thousands of years ago, the earth (also known as the blue planet) gave birth to all kinds of strange and mythical creatures like monsters, mermaids and demonic beasts.

The humans were not left out either, they gained access to supernatural Powers by absorbing a unique type of energy in the air called "Manna".

The human world undergo series of changes, but the nature of mankind is rooted deep into their bones and can never be changed.

Due to the seven deadly sins, kingdoms rise and fall, what was once a great empire became ruins, giving rise to the invasions of monsters and demonic beasts.

That marks the beginning of the first war.

Somewhere on this blue planet, amidst all myriads of empires and nations in this world, lies a big nation flowing with milk and honey.

"Sapa nation" as we all call it.

Sapa Nation, a kingdom filled with all kinds of treasures and resources, ruled by rich and powerful men…but ninety percent of its citizens are poor, sixty percent go to bed with an hungry stomach.

A kingdom ruled by some set of people who loves to take from the poor to enrich their already filled pockets.

Greed is hidden deep within their bones, they sold the resources and treasures that was supposed to be distributed to the citizens, to foreigners.

They do not care about security or the lives of the people who put them to their current Posts, all they cared about is money, more money.

Seeing that the government have deserted them, the people tried all means to make money. some started live as a bandit, others took assassination, fraud, hooliganism…as profession.

Few years after, the nation has turned upside down, the government were sleeping, while bad people drove the country to its Doom.

The nation welcomed the rise of heretics, people now kill people like them for rituals. They practice demonic cultivation, evil cults and sects rose up from within the ranks of the heretics and the red tattoo…what was once an abomination in the land of Sapa, became something to be proud of.

Due to the incensant shouts of the people for justice, the government created a new division of guards for the people, to deal with banditry, assassination and fraud.

But these set of people didn't last long in performing their duties before they were bought over by the evil people.

They killed, maimed and extorted people of their hard earned money. They do not value human lives, something they all vowed to protect.

They kill for money, sold their conscience for a bag of gold.

The people cried out once again, called for the scraping of this bad units and the bad eggs amongst them must be punished for all of their crimes.

But the government turned deaf ears to the pleas of the people, and the bad units continued to do what they do best. Forcing people to mine spirit Stones, thirty percent goes to the government purse, the other seventy percent disappears mysteriously.

When the people couldn't take it anymore, they all protested. They came out in large numbers, to block roads to all important place.

The teleportation device Channels were blocked and people can't travel through public teleportation device again. All roads were also blocked, and a grand formation was set up in the sky to stop people from flying in The sky.

Businesses were stopped, People suffered losses, especially those in power.

That is how our story began.

…..

In an office full of all kinds of flag, from red, to green, to Blue…

A sickly old man and six others were in a meeting. They all sat down round a table, deliberating on how to push the country forward and how to stop the Nationwide protest staged by the civilians.

Some old men were also present in this meeting, they didn't come in person but their presence and voices was transferred using the picture revealing crystal. They were the past presidents of this wonderful nation.

"hello! Everybody, you all know the reason why I called you here today.

The country is worsening within this past few days that the protest have started, all roads and teleportation station were blocked and the economy of this nation is plummeting with each passing day.

We can't sleep soundly if we don't put out the fire that is dancing on our roof.

We can't let the world alliance interfere in our business, if the protest should persist for seven more days, they'll put their nose in what doesn't concern them…please help, what should I do? "the old president spoke in northern dialect.

"You caused this upon yourself, what were you doing when the country is in chaos?

Where were you when every citizens is talking of splitting the country into three?

You were busy enjoying life here while the people are suffering. Your wife left the country due to the level of insecurities, but that doesn't sound like a wale up call to you. I don't have much to advice you than to give the youth what they wanted. " an old man talked sense into the president and let him realize his mistakes.

" how can I give them what they want when they're calling for my impeachment, do you think it's easy for me to wield this power?

I sacrificed a lot to get to this stage, yet they're asking me to resign and also to reduce my Ministers salary, who does that?" The president answered.

"you only have yourself to blame for this, it's your problem. You created this mess, you'll have to fix it by yourself…you promised what you can't afford to pay during your manifesto and this is the consequences of your actions, enjoy."

…after series of reprimanding, the union of old men went offline, remaining seven people in this quiet room.

"Your Excellency!! What should we do in this situation? Since the shameless old men Have nothing to offer." A shifty eyed old man asked no one in particular.

"I have a suggestion, your Excellency." The governor of logro said, his eyes shining with shades of evil light.

"What suggestion do you have? Let's hear it" the minister of finance urged him to continue.

"Why don't we catch some scapegoat and teach them not to fuck with the government..."

The governor of logros whispered something into the ears of every one of them on seat and waited patiently for their shocked reactions.

"What will the world say if we go with your plan? How are we going to wash our hands off this issue?" The president asked.

"That's where the minister of information comes in, nobody can beat him when it comes to shamelessness and his gift of lies... we'll twist the Truth."
