Slay that Mutant
The First Outbreak ravaged the planet by mutating all lifeforms into savage creatures.
Plants ate animals, animals ate humans, and humans ate one another.
Thousands of years into the future, this is all the surviving humankind remembers, as they continue fighting the mutated beings in the Last Lands:
Chimeras: descendants of the animalistic beings mutated by the Outbreak.
And Mutants: descendants of the human beings mutated by the Outbreak.
In time, a collective group of mutant hunters was formed in this wreaked world, and it took it upon itself to defend the surviving humankind from these savage creatures using advanced weapons of old design.
Thus began the Organization of Mutant Slayers.
Artur, an ordinary boy of sixteen from the Fringes, wanted to join the Organization to become a Mutant Slayer when he came of age.
Artur, like many boys and girls of his age, dreamed of saving humanity from all the monsters plaguing the Last Lands.
But after a hard day at work in the mines, Artur returned home to encounter a nightmare, and it ended his dream instantly.
His village was burning, his entire family slaughtered by a Mutant, with only his little sister surviving the massacre, who was near dead herself.
And also turning into a Mutant.
On his way to taking his half-dead mutating sister to a nearby village so she could get some aid, Artur ran across a Mutant Slayer from the Organization.
Relieved at his sudden appearance, Artur immediately regretted calling out for help to the Mutant Slayer once the man revealed why he’d showed up.
The Mutant Slayer claimed Artur’s sister was beyond saving, and had to be killed to stop her from mutating further and becoming a deadly threat to humanity.
Artur protested the Slayer’s cruel decision with his words, using his fists and feet when the man refused to listen.
But it simply wasn’t enough.
Artur wasn’t strong enough to save his little sister from the Mutant Slayer who butchered her right in front of his eyes.
“You’re nothing but a child, boy,” the Mutant Slayer by the name of Dante Warrick had told him as he wiped the blood off his longsword. “When you’re older, you won’t despise me as some murderer, but revere me as your savior.”
Three years later, after injecting himself with experimental mutagens and becoming a Mutant, Artur lives for only one reason.
To kill Dante Warrick.
But on his path of vengeance, Artur ends up discovering some dark truths about the world, and how it became what it is today.
Even then, Artur remains focused on his only target.
Spirit unfazed through the world that has declared him a deadly monster, a threat to humanity.
Screaming only one thing at him:
Slay that Mutant!
