Chereads / Assassination of Destiny / Chapter 2 - Awakening

Chapter 2 - Awakening

Henry woke up with a jolt. What was that dream he just had? It was something about a bear killing his family. Damn, what a weird dream! Henry quickly got out of bed, and dressed in his usual outfit, torn brown rags. When Henry lived, there were only two social classes, the rich and the poor. If you had lots of money, then you could live an extraordinary life, but if you had only a decent amount, the government would laugh in your face. Henry's parents were a part of the poor branch and lived in the woods. There were two divisions in the U.S., the North and the South, almost like the Confederates and the Union from the Civil War. The North was the rich community with incredible high-tech advancements and the South was the poor and hungry area.

The works of this were not America's democracy's choice but The Kingdom of Han's choice, a country formed by the combined forces of China, Russia, and North Korea. These three countries combined and made a kingdom that conquered dozens of countries. With North Korea and Russia's militarism, they were unstoppable. The Kingdom of Han had produced a new chemical that no other country knew about called Duyao, with the destructive power of 10 times the amount of atomic bombs. If not contained, the chemical could explode and kill millions of people. The explosion's radius could reach up to 5 miles with massive firepower. The government then switched to a new political system, Fofism, a political system that gave the government full power but divided the power equally among three branches. Han, Li, and Pin. The Han branch is the main branch deciding, the Li Branch votes, and the Pin branch, the most branch with the most say, has the power to approve the order no matter the circumstance. Of course, one person usually runs this so called 'organized government' which makes it more of a monarchy instead of an organized political system.

Henry's parents, being American, were heavily discriminated upon by The Kingdom of Han, causing their money to be stripped and to be a part of the poor class. The Kingdom of Han barely pitied the poor class but occasionally offered food, water, and shelter. Henry's uncle, Jack Nevedo, despised this and planned a revolution against The Kingdom of Han. Jack Nevedo searched through the South American jungles illegally and found traces of old iron. He then took this iron to a blacksmith and crafted about 5 dozen swords for the revolution and 2 dozens of shotguns with Chinese gunpowder he stole from the north. This was the beginning of a revolution that would lead to tragedy.
