Inside the Capital city, there is a giant 7-story mansion positioned in the center of the city. There lives the president of this corrupt and divided nation. He is one of the main reasons that the civil war is currently happening. His refusal to fight back to reclaim the glory of his own nation after becoming a laughing stock worldwide enraged his own people, forcing them to rebel against him instead. But he already has a large army, and almost half of the entire nation is on his side, so the people who were already displeased with them grew hatred towards their own people, who still choose to support their corrupt president.
This country has always been corrupt for generations. The rest of the citizens were very poor, and they struggled on a day-to-day basis every single day. Food is scarce as most of the country’s resources were all forced to be shipped to the capital city. There’s hardly any left for their own citizens. Though they could not even try to rebel against the government’s corruption before, as they struggled so much just to stay alive.
On the contrary, people who live inside the capital city live flourishingly. They all have expensive clothes, cars, and houses. They wore golden and silver jewellery on their bodies. Their bodies are always clean. They always eat the most expensive type of food every day. Every single need of their life is being satisfied by the president himself. This is all to protect his power and position as the president.
Every five years, there was a public election to choose several candidates to become the new president. And every single president throughout all generations has been monopolized by the current president’s lineage, the Licht family.
The current president’s name is Andrew Licht, and he is currently sitting in his own room, on his desk, drinking a very old, rare, and expensive wine. He currently has prostitutes sitting on his lap, massaging his shoulders, and some others feeding him fruits and food. All the prostitutes are only wearing their panties, leaving their tops bare for him to enjoy, as per his demand.
“Mmmhhh!! That’s good, honeys!!”
“Kyaaaahh!! Thank you, Andrew-sama!”
“We are pleased if you are pleased, Andrew-sama!”
“We are glad to be of service to you, Andrew-sama!”
Andrew Licht has a pair of pretty blue eyes and long eyelashes. He has short spiky hair with short bangs. He is 170cm tall and weighs around 78kg. He currently wears a light blue long-sleeved cardigan with a white T-shirt underneath, a brown belt, a pair of light brown long jeans, and a pair of golden indoor sandals. He also wears three golden rings across three different fingers: the index, the middle, and the ring fingers. Each of his rings has three different colored stones, red, blue, and green, in order. He wears a golden necklace with a golden ring as an ornament over his white T-shirt. There are also three golden rings on the top of his right ear. He is still 31 years old despite being the president. He is young yet already just as corrupt as the previous president, his own father, who has passed away peacefully.
“Aaaaaahhhhhh!! What a peaceful night every night is!!”
“YEEEEEESSSSSS, ANDREW-SAMA!!” all the prostitutes answered in harmony.
*RING RING RING*
*!*
His personal smartphone, which he put on the desk, is ringing.
“Huh? Who the fuck called me at this hour? If it’s not something important, I’ll have this caller executed next morning!!”
He picks up the phone grumpily and answers the call.
“Talk!”
“A-ANDREW-SAMA!! THE CAPITAL CITY IS BEING ATTACKED!!”
“Huh? Then just take care of it ASAP! We have a huge army stationed here anyway! Mobilize every single soldier if you have to! I give you my permission!!”
“U-UNDERSTOOD, ANDREW-SAMA!!”
*BEEP
And he immediately ends the call.
“What was that, Andrew-sama?” one of the prostitutes who was feeding him an apple asks a question.
“Oh, Chica-chan, you don’t want to know! Because if you insist, I’ll have you executed right here, right now!”
*!!*
*PRANG PRANG*
The prostitute named Chica immediately drops the bowl of fruit that she held and bows her head on the floor in full panic.
“I-I APOLOGIZE, ANDEW-SAMA! I DIDN’T MEANT TO PRY OR ANYTHING!! I WAS JUST TRYING TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, BUT I AM BAD AT IT!! PLEASE SHOW ME YOUR MERCY!!”
“Hmm? Oohh! The guy who I hired you from did say that you have some type of social impairment, or something along those lines! I guess I’ll forgive you, just don’t do that ever again, okay, Chica-chan?”
“Y-YESS, ANDREW-SAMAAAA!! THANK YOU FOR SPARRING MY LIFE!! I OWE YOU FOREVER!!” said the prostitute as she also shed tears from an immense feeling of relief.
“Well then, I’m feeling generous today! Alright, honeys!”
*CLAP CLAP*
If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
He claps multiple times to gain the prostitute's attention.
“Go take off your panties, line up on all fours on my bed! I’ll take you all one by one in turns, and then we’ll have fun together later!”
*!*
“YYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! ANDREW-SAMAAAAAA!!”
The prostitutes were screaming with high energy and immediately did everything he told them to do.
*!!!*
But when he himself was about to take off his own clothes, the power in his mansion went out.
“KYAAAAAHHH!!”
Some of the prostitutes were startled by the sudden pitch-black darkness.
“Tch! What a fucking surprise! This fucking ruins the mood! What the fuck is going on now?”
*RING RING RING*
Just as he was starting to become frustrated, his phone rang again.
“WHAT NOW?”
He answers the call and screams in anger at the caller.
“ANDEW-SAMA!! OUR GENERATORS HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY THE INFILTRATOR!! THERE IS NO MORE POWER IN THE CAPITAL CITY!!”
“WHAT? QUICKLY USE OUR SECONDARY EMERGENCY GENERATORS THROUGHOUT THE CITY!! I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!! GET IT DONE WITHIN FIVE MINUTES!!”
“W-WE CAN’T SIR!! THOSE HAVE BEEN DESTROYED TOO!!”
“WHAT?”
“THE INFILTRATORS, SIR!! ONLY FIVE HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED, AND THERE COULD POSSIBLY BE MORE OF THEM!!”
“Y-YOU HAVEN’T DEALT WITH THEM ALREADY? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ALL DOING RIGHT NOW?”
“W-WE APOLOGIZE, SIR!! THEY ARE ALL BELIEVERS, AND THEY DESTROYED OR KILLED EVERY SINGLE TANK, CHOPPERS, SOLDIERS, UNMANNED DRONES, GRENADE LAUNCHER PERSONNEL, ARMORED CARS, SNIPERS, MISSILES, ETC., THAT WE KEPT SENDING AT THEM!! THEY ARE TOO POWERFUL, SIR!!”
“TCH!! WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?”
“WE HAVE NO IDEA, SIR!! WE IDENTIFIED THEIR FACES, BUT NONE OF THEM SHOWED UP IN OUR CITIZENS DATABASE!!”
“WHAT? ARE THEY FOREIGNERS?”
“(OR ARE THEY THE POOR INSECTS THAT WE NEVER BOTHERED TO TAKE CARE OF, THAT WE NEVER EVEN CARE TO PROPERLY RECORD THEIR IDENTITIES INTO OUR CITIZEN’S DATABASE? DAMMIT!!)”
Andrew walks towards his balcony door and opens it. He walks outside to see the state of the city.
“. . .”
He could not even utter a single word. The strong capital city, with its 50m tall brick wall all around, has never been infiltrated throughout history since it was built. But today, history has been made. There are fires across the entire capital city. Houses are burning, tall buildings are burning, fancy and expensive vehicles are burning, food stalls are burning, and even the tall brick wall surrounding the capital city has some parts burning. The smoke of the fires floats towards the dark night sky above. The entire capital city was lit up by the fires even though it's currently close to midnight.
“M-My empire. . . WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE?!”
“S-SIRRR!! ANDREW-SAMA!! OUR WATER AND GAS RESERVES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED!!! WE HAVE NO WATER AND GAS ANYMORE IN THE CAPITAL!! I REPEAT, OUR WATER AND GAS RESERVES HAVE BEEN DESTROYED!!! WE HAVE NO WATER AND GAS ANYMORE IN THE CAPITAL!!”
“GOD DAMMMIIIIIIIITTTTT!!!” screams Andrew in frustration.
“(No power, no water, no gas! People can’t live inside the capital city anymore!! WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TO MY EMPIRE NOW?)”
*BANG*
*!!!*
Andrew heard a gunshot so close to his ears, and he was startled.
*THUD*
He falls on his butt onto the balcony floor.
“Are you the president?”
*!!*
Andrew slowly turns his head and body around on the ground. He sees a boy whom he has never seen before in his life. A boy with blond hair wearing a black bodysuit with white trims across its design. The boy is holding a survival knife in his right hand and a gun in his left hand. There are drops of blood across his bodysuit and face. His survival knife is also covered in the same blood. His eyes were very sharp and hateful, and Andrew felt chills simply by looking at them. The boy is Eissen.
“W-WHO ARE YOU?”
“My name is of no concern to you! I come here to find out the truth about this country, and lo and behold, I see people inside this city living their everyday lives without a single worry at all. How luxurious!”
“S-So you came here for vengeance for our unfairness?!”
“Heh! You even acknowledged that what you’re doing to your own citizens is unfair! But you keep doing it anyway without any remorse, huh? But unfortunately, no! I did not come here for that!!”
*?*
“Huh? Then why are you here? Are you also the same people who destroyed my empire?!”
“No, no, no!”
The blond boy points his gun towards Andrew’s face.
“I am the one asking questions here!”
Eissen crouches down to his level and stares intensely into his eyes.
“Were you the guy who orchestrated all of us to do that mansion mission?”
“Mansion. . . mission??”
*BANG*
“HIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!”
Eissen shot his pistol to the right next to his ear and made him shriek in fear from the loud sound of the gunshot.
“No need to play dumb with me! I am very impatient! I might also resort to torture if you tried being smart with me! Let me tell you right now that you are not going away alive from me!”
“I apologize, but I genuinely did not know a single thing about what you just said!”
*BANG*
*ZRRSSHH*
“AARRGHH!!”
Eissen shot Andrew right in his right kneecap, and it hurts him greatly. He immediately covers his kneecap with his two hands.
“AAAARRRGGGHHHHHH!!!! IT HUUUUUURRRTTSSSSS!!! UUUURRRGGHHH!!!”
Eissen presses his gun to Andrew’s other kneecap.
“Start talking!”
“I-I don’t know about that! Regarding military drama and whatnot, I gave all the rights to my right-hand man, Kuzart!”
“. . .Are you a Believer?”
“N-NO! If I were one, I would’ve fought back before I even suffered this injury, don’t you think?”
“Fair point! Where is he?”
“He is currently on duty in the city somewhere, handling the infiltrators!”
“Where does he live?”
“H-He usually lives here, but occasionally, he does return home to his wife and kids!”
“Where??”
“West district! The one with the golden roof! He is the only house with a golden roof in this entire capital city!”
“Then that’s enough! Goodbye!”
Eissen points his gun at his forehead.
“W-WAIT! WAIT! WAIT!! PLEASE DON’T KILL ME!! I STILL HAVE STUFF TO DO IN THIS WORLD!!”
“You’ve done enough! You lived leisurely while the rest of your own people are suffering. Now it’s time to go to hell! If there even is a hell in this world!”
Eissen puts his finger on the trigger. Andrew started shedding tears, knowing Eissen shows no hesitation at all.
“I don’t know if there even is a God out there that watches over us! Though I refuse to believe that there is a God who would allow so much suffering in this world!”
*BANG*
*ZRRSHH*
*THUD*
Eissen shot the man right in his forehead, instantly killing him, and his body fell lifelessly to the balcony’s floor.
“. . .”
Eissen shows no reaction towards his own kill. He simply moves his head towards the west, already setting out on his next destination.
*SHIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG*
*!!*
But then the president’s lifeless body shines brightly in pink.
“W-WHAT?”
His body shines brighter by the second, and this looks very similar to that of the sniper who blew up the same way.
*BANG*
*SHIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG*
*BWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG*
Eissen immediately shoots his gun towards the west, and suddenly, a giant pillar of pink light consumed the entirety of the 7-story mansion. The giant pillar of pink light reached the height of the cloud, and everyone inside the capital city witnessed it as it happened. The pillar of pink light appears in the city for approximately 10 seconds, and then it quickly disperses and fades away.
Behind the giant pillar of pink light, an empty, flat, open ground was all that was left. Not a single thing was left of the mansion. Everything was vaporized instantly.
