Sapa Nation: the 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 rode 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 bowed 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.

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 youths.

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 has 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."

Genesis of chaos 2

The protest have gone far, more than anyone can imagine. Many international bodies and organizations were waiting patiently to interfere and see if they could fish in troubled water.

Both righteous sects and demonic sects joined the protests, the news was spread throughout the nation through the use of advance recording crystals...

The nation's guards were helpless, they could only do the little that they could do...

Markets were closed, and the people cultivate on the road, cultivation resources were shared amongst the protesters ( one of the main reasons people joined this protests, there's free "food".)

" Our next target is the teleportation Portal, nobody must travel in or out of this nation if our demand is not met. And we're also blocking the famous bridge that leads to the leitti island of logros empire, let the rich feel the pain we're going through.

Let them know that we're not joking!!

The president must re-sign, we don't want a sickly old man leading us anymore!!

Long live Sapa Nation!!!"

one of the prominent figures leading the protest gave out orders on the recording crystal.

Fear gripped the mind of those in power. The president was running from one place to another, gathering people who could talk to the angry youths to ease their minds.

....

Soon...

News spread everywhere that the government are trying to kill the protesters if they ever tried to come out to protest the next day, as the government have deployed soldiers to every part of the nation to guard all important places.

People who are going out to protest were advised to move in groups and the national flag must be in their hands, fluttering in the wind while the protest is ongoing.

The plan worked indeed, for a few days, the soldiers sent out to harass the people, once seeing the bright white flag in their hands either turned back or stayed to guard them for the day...until one fateful night...

The rumors were true, the government really did as they said they would do.

The protest was ongoing at the bridge connecting leitti island to logros mainland, when hundreds of soldiers marched in.

The people were still singing the Sapa Nation's National anthem happily, some were even doing live broadcast with their recording crystals, not minding the soldiers on horse back.

" Hello Daddy!! I can't hear you well, this place is too loud. Let me find a quiet place then I'll call you back."

Daniel picked up his ringing phone and discovered that the strange number calling him was from his nagging Dad.

He tried finding a quiet place to call but he couldn't find any, so he dialed the number again on his expensive communication crystal and took out two magic buds from his space ring and plugged it in his ears. He did some strange hand signs and the magic buds was connected to the magic crystal in his hand.

He put some noise cancelling formation within a radius of ten meters around him to cancel out the background noise.

Ring!! Ring!!

The communication crystal was vibrating on his hand as he was about to cast the spell that'll connect him to his dad.

It was a video communication request from his dad, he picked it up and the old man began his umpteenth session of nagging this month.

The old man sounded distressed on the call as he threw lots of questions at Daniel. He was really agitated and was sweating all over.

" Daniel!! Where are you right now!??

Hope it's not where I told you not to go yesterday? Turn the crystal around and let me see the background, this place is eerily silent, you must have done something to mask the noise...

Just tell me that you're not at the leitti bridge and my mind will be at ease."

The old man said, with anger clearly written on his wrinkled face.

"father, you can't control my life anymore, I'm 21 Dad!! I can make decisions for myself, you can't tell me what to do!!

I'm currently at the leitti bridge, doing what you old men failed to do during your own time. I'm fighting for the progress of this nation, I'm fighting for the next generations to come, fighting for the future of my unborn children..."

The spoilt brat, Daniel was shouting at his father on the communication crystal. The old man was shivering from anger, but he controlled himself before spitting out some words before the light went out.

" Daniel, listen to me!! Even if it'll be for the last time that you'll ever do that, I don't care. Just listen to what I have to say!!"

The old man yelled on the crystal.

Daniel seeing the strange behavior of his old man and noticed the severeness of what his dad was about to say, finally calmed down.

" Try to leave that place now!! Run!! Never look back.

The soldiers deployed to the leitti bridge are not your normal soldiers, they were all at the green ranks and there are a few silver rankers among them, they were sent to kill the protesters. Watch out for eagle eyed demon!! He was among the group of silver rankers deployed for this operation.

Do not look for anybody or take anything with you, run as far as you can before the operation commence..."

Listening to his father's order, Daniel was trying to run when the lights were turned off and the darkness formation was activated.

Xiu!! xiu!! xiu!! xiu!!

Flaming arrows danced in the air immediately the lights were turned off.

Seeing the arrows coming for him, Daniel activated his movement skills "shadow steps" and he disappeared into the night. But how can he escape from the silver rankers given strict orders not to leave any survivors to tell the tale of what happened today.

He was chased by three silver ranker one was wielding a heavy ruler, the second man was wielding a sword while the third man followed them closely without coming near or going far off from them. He was wielding a Golden rune bow, ready to provide assistance when needed.

The most feared golden eyes demon was sent to assassinate a youth, what a joke.

His assailants caught up with and he was immediately surrounded by the two shameless silver rankers.

Two silver rankers surrounded a green ranker youth and another silver ranker was watching in the distance with arrow nocked into bow, ready to shoot at any given opportunity.

The Genesis of chaos 3

As a trained assassin, fathered by The most notorious and feared assassin in the history of Sapa Nation, Daniel stood his ground against the three soldiers without an inkling of fear...even though they're all at a realm above him.

He retrieved his silver dagger from his space ring, and activated shadow steps once again.

He blended into the night, not even his shadow could be seen as he silently made his way to the one wielding the heavy ruler and attacked with the silver Dagger.

A glistening silver light flashed, and the wary soldiers were surprised as the man wielding the heavy ruler clutched his neck to stop the blood from gushing out all to no avail. His neck was pumping blood, the hand he placed on his neck to stop the bleeding was dyed red.

Thud!

Within a few seconds, a silver ranker didn't get the chance to say his last farewell to the world as his lifeless body hits the ground.

Still in his shadow form, he moved silently, without releasing a Trace of spiritual energy. He moved near the one with the sword and tried to stab the hand wielding the sword, since he can't try the same move twice.

A glistening silver light shined and a wrist was cleanly sliced off.

The real reason why Daniel could fight with these people on equal ground is because of his skills as an assassin, the element of surprise and he was attacking from the dark. The main reason is that these people were just promoted to silver rankers, they don't have the experience or the amount of power a veteran silver ranker possessed, they were at the early stage of the silver rank.

seeing the silver light glow in the dark, the eagle eyed Archer in the distance released the arrows from his bow, three arrows were shot simultaneously.

Daniel merely thought that he was being chased by two soldiers, oblivious of the fact that there's a third man hiding in the dark, waiting for the right time to strike.

It was a version of the story of the mantis and the cicada.

Due to his error in calculations, an arrow was lodged in his heart while he dodged the other two.

He couldn't react in Time and the silent arrow pierced his heart.

He was only good at close range combat, not mid or long range. Plus the fact that his cover has been blown by that silver light and though he can fight and kill those people who were at a rank above him, but the power behind their attacks is more than what people can imagine. The fact that silver rankers are not many in this nation is one of the reasons to believe that it's very difficult to reach that rank.

The mighty force of the arrow threw him out of the shadows, revealing his landing place to the swordsman soldier who rushed to meet him there.

The swordsman picked up his sword from the ground and chased after the assassin in flight.

He tried using shadow steps once again but the spiritual energy leaking from his body revealed his location to the enemies, since he couldn't control the technique very well, due to the wound on his chest.

He brought out a silver orb from his space Ring, immediately he saw the swordsman approached.

He poured spiritual energy into it like a crazy mad Man, he depleted all his remaining energy to activate the strange orb while he was on the run.

Xiu!!

Another arrow found his way to his chest a second before the silver orb activated, a blinding light was released from the silver orb and a second after, the light died down and Daniel was nowhere to be found.

...

At the leitti bridge.

A peak silver ranked commander sat on a white horse as he watched the free show going on around him.

The green ranked soldiers and a few silver ranked ones ( three, excluding Daniel's assailants ) chased after the escaping protesters. The archers didn't stop shooting arrows at the fleeing protesters.

The concreted floor was filled with blood. The white flags in the hands of the people were dyed with blood, their own blood...the soaring eagle in the middle of the flag must have had his fill of blood already as the smell of blood permeated through the air.

The people were massacred and dragged off the "battlefield" to God knows where.

The traces of battle was cleaned up, except for the glaring blood on the ground and the pungent smell of blood in the air, which can not be masked before the citizens who heard the commotion starts to appear at the site of massacre.

The soldiers quickly burned the corpses of the victims and dispersed it in the wind before disappearing from the site.

On this day, hundreds of innocent civilians were killed while the president of the nation was in the other room, discussing life with two beautiful young ladies.

The lucky ones escaped with their lives, some seriously wounded while others just suffered some minor injuries during the Chase, before the soldiers were called back from the hunt by the peak silver ranked Commander.

Before anyone could say "jack" the news and media houses of the cultivation world arrived at the scene, fighting for who to be the first to report this big news.

The special arrows of the nation's military laid scattered on the ground as the news people inspected the scene for evidence and good content to report to their superiors and the audience at home.

There were pools of blood on the ground but the source of the blood was nowhere near them. It was as if blood was collected from somewhere and then poured on the ground.

The newsmen reported what their eyes have seen and also shared the vision with their audience at home viewing them through the recording crystals.

....

Somewhere in the forest of bodma, the headquarters of the most notorious assassination clan, THE MINISTERS OF DEATH...a middle-aged man was seated on a golden chair in a large hall that seems like an assembly point for the assassins.

He dialed the number of the rebel he called son countless of times but no one picked.

He was about to stand up from his throne when a Young Man rushed inside the Hall without asking for permission to see him.

"Clan Master the life light of the young Master just went off..."

The little guy didn't finish what he's was about to say before the clan Master grabbed him and rushed to the place where all life lamps were stored.

...

The president was busy "lecturing" those young girls in the other room when his communication crystal starts to shine and vibrate.

He excused himself from the room to pick the call.

He made some hand signs and the face of a young man popped out of the crystal.

" How far about the mission assigned to you?

Hope you didn't leave any survivors? Only dead men tell no tales..." the young man asked.

This is the man who came up with the idea of massacring the people in cold blood to quell the protests and for some other reasons cripple a great assassin guild by murdering its young master. Hence the reason why the seven silver rankers were assigned to this mission but they still failed in the end.

" Yes young master seyi. Except for that brat, he managed to escape from three silver rankers, he killed one, severely injured another but he was taken down by eagle eyed demon. Yet he still escaped with a teleportation device activated, were still trying to track him down and finish him once and for all" the high and mighty president bowed his head while reporting to this mysterious young Man.

"Good! Good! Make sure you leave no loose ends, I'll contact you later to talk about our deal"

the young man said before the communication crystal went off.
