Chapter 1-The God of War

"I said kneel!" shouted a man with bright yellow hair, armored clothes like a robot man, and carrying a laser sword. The man with the fierce face was breathing hard. The anger in him was obvious.

"Never," replied a man dressed in gray. His nose and mouth were covered with a similar cloth that made his figure unrecognizable. He stood proudly in front of a group of men dressed as robots without headgear, ready to strike him with illegal laser sword weapons.

The large room, which was none other than the hall of a building, had been taken over by a mercenary rebel named Bugo. The lights in the place were deliberately extinguished. The light from the light bulbs rolling on the floor was the only illumination for the humans. Some walls and roofs of the buildings were destroyed as a result of the previous battle won by the rebel group.

"I'll admit, you're good for getting in here without being detected by my security system, or... my troops who are incompetent at guarding this place from intruders like you!" He shouted angrily as he looked at his men, who stood still, looking tense.

"I insist for the last time. Release them," said the unknown figure, his eyes darting left and right as the rebel troops began to surround him from all sides.

"You want to be a hero, huh? These lowly humans are my slaves! District 10 is already mine! And you're no Great Ruler! You're just a mercenary like me! Stay out of this, or you'll end up in my hands just like them!" Bugo shouted as he pointed to a group of humans who had been hanged for their cruelty.

The hostages who were made slaves could only cry in their own language. They were chained and starved as a form of the man's real threat to conquer District 10, which is part of the territory of the country called the Great Ruler. So far, the Great Ruler's forces have been unable to break through because the rebels have been using the inhabitants of District 10 as hostages. Their efforts ended in the terrible deaths of the people of District 10. So the Great Ruler called for help from an unknown figure, who now found himself alone against the rebel leader.

"You are an inhuman being, Bugo. You are more foul than the saliva of the Gorogs out there," said the man, whose entire body was covered in a tight cloth, with only a pair of eyes visible.

"Hah! You're saying I'm more rotten than Gorog? You've come to ask me for death! Let them go!" Commanded Bugo, his voice booming like lightning outside the building.

"ROARRR!"

"AAAAA!" the slaves screamed hysterically.

Suddenly, the iron doors that had been used as access to the building opened. The slaves were terrified as they saw the real monster being released from the cage it had been hidden in.

"Hahahahaha! You want to free them, don't you? I'll set them free to become my pet food! Hahahaha!" laughed Bugo as he flew slowly on a white rectangular board like a skateboard.

The futuristic-looking board had a motor at the bottom that allowed it to move freely according to the movement of the user's feet. The device was called the Oto-fly. It was a breakthrough in personal transportation for people in the New World.

A type of magnet attracts the bottom of the user's shoe so that it does not fall off, even when diving or standing upside down. A device that can cross difficult terrain without touching the surface. However, its height is limited to 10 meters for the safety of its users.

Bugo and his troops obtained the device illegally. They seized the possessions of the residents of District 10, including the laser guns belonging to the district guards. Bugo and his troops took to the skies, watching the massacre in the center of the vast courtyard of the hall. Practically, the ferocity of the Gorogs terrified the slaves.

Gorog used to be human but turned ferocious, and parts of their bodies mutated into a mixture of animals. It all started with the World Science Olympiad. A professor named Deogal Gorog developed evolutionary abilities with the aim of adapting to new environments. Unfortunately, his discovery was considered dangerous by the world.

The serum was then stolen by an unknown party, who then misused it by creating the Gorogs. As a result of the serum, humans lost their minds and consciences. The lust for killing and hunger is unbearable. This made the Gorogs no longer able to recognize humans. They were obsessed with red-blooded and healthy living creatures to prey on.

The rebel leader in the building laughed triumphantly, which was greeted with joy by his group members as they watched the carnage below. But all at once, the laughter died down at the sight of the unknown figure who came alone, suddenly attacking the Gorogs and not being afraid of their viciousness.

"Those eyes..." One of the rebels aboard the Oto-fly said in a trembling voice as he saw a pair of blue eyes glowing brightly from an unknown figure.

"AAAAA!" screamed one of the slaves who couldn't escape because his hands were chained to the wall of the building. He closed his eyes tightly as one of the Gorogs, his teeth all turned to fangs, prepared to tear his vulnerable body apart.

"GOARRR!" The Gorog roared as his body was struck from the side with such force that it sent him flying.

"Those blue eyes! H-he is the God of War!" cried one of the rebels, recognizing the man in gray.

"He can't be alone! Get out of here and take all the loot!" The group leader shouted in panic when he realized who his opponent was.

The grey-clad man's blue eyes flashed. He moved a hand, which suddenly turned to stone when it touched a piece of stone. The large hand targeted one of the Gorogs that was about to attack him. His one-handed blow sent the creature flying and struck one of the rebels as it tried to fly away.

"Argh! Hargh!" cried one of the rebels as his body was now being targeted by a creature that should be preying on slaves.

As Bugo tried to escape, a group of black robots suddenly appeared from the roof of the collapsed building. The human-shaped robots, which had wings like flying machines and numbered in the dozens, blocked all the exits. Bugo's eyes widened as he realized he was surrounded.

"Black Angel!" shouted one of the rebels, recognizing the robots.

"In the name of the World Police, Bugo d' Burog and all his men! You are under arrest for harboring Gorogs who should have been exterminated. Killing the inhabitants of District 10 of the Great Ruler's country and committing human slavery!" the robot policemen said as they pointed at the two ends of their hands, which formed sleeves and were ready to fire magnetic iron nets.

"Cowards! You control the robots remotely because you're afraid to face me directly!" Bugo shouted angrily.

But the robot police didn't care. They fired a net shot that trapped the rebel group. The man with the fiery blue eyes was still busy immobilizing the Gorogs as he lusted after the poor slaves.

"ARGH!" One of the slaves screamed as a Gorog managed to bite one of his legs and rip it off.

"GOARRR!"

"Oh!" The slaves cried as they saw the blue-eyed man slash through the Gorog's neck and send the rest of his body sprawling violently on the floor.

Green-black blood gushed from the cut. The blue-eyed man quickly ran over and grabbed the beast's jaw, still attached to the slave's leg.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die!" Tears streaming down his face as he endured the pain and fear of being exposed to the deadly venom of Gorog's blood.

"No, if I..."

"Aaaa-rgh!"
