Chapter 2 - the unfairness of mortality

This has been happening a lot recently and it all started when her husband died

A secret which only they knows about

You could say it's their little secret

Knocking twice on the prevention glass that's used to Separate the driver and the passenger sections of the car

The driver immediately drove to a corner and parked the car...

Then the driver and the body guard in the front sit climbed down

"This has got to stop ghrosweav.....this can't continue on,you can't continue on like this" the woman looked worried while putting her hand deep into her own dress

"I am sorry madame,but I can't control it....I have no control over it" saying so the young man identified as ghrosweav said while taking off his outer suit and stretching his left hand into the darkness of the car and grabbing something

"I have the protection,you should prepare yourself madame" saying so,ghrosweav wore a raincoat and got out of the car

The madame brought out a pistol like device from her innerwear

Exhaling lightly she toke out an umbrella yet remain inside

"May God watch over you, ghrosweav" she silently prayed

Outside the car the showering of rain directly showed it's effects of coldness, sending shivers down the spines of all that came in contact with them

ghrosweav stood outside while carrying a specially modified shotgun,this was the 'PROTECTION' he was talking about

ghrosweav was born a orphan, fighting tooth and nails with the other beggars and orphans for food,even going as far as to steal from shops

as he was finding for only himself but also for his sick elder brother,whom has had sickness unknown to them yet they couldn't perform any form of test on him...as this city only respected and revered those with power, wealth and authority

For poor and dirty orphans like themselves,the thought of using even the general hospital,which was Said to be upon for even the poorest of people wasn't an option

Till one day when his brother's health suddenly started worsening and he was in the brink of death,ghrosweav had no choice but to run to a local loanshark to take a load only to be beaten up and throw at an abandoned building laying half living half dead

Only to be discovered by a kind middle aged wealthy man,whom at that time had just bought the building and was doing a personal surveying

When the man saw him he didn't even say a word he directly sent him to a high-class hospital,yet after some treatment when the man came back to check on him,he didn't thank the man instead he started crying

Saying,

'you shouldn't have wasted that money on me,you shouldn't'

and

'you should have used it to treat my brother....Oh brother'

Yet the man didn't mind, instead he brought ghrosweav to another room/ward in the hospital where surgeon where performing surgery earnestly

ghrosweav immediately broke down in tears and started thanking the man from the most honest parts of his soul,later in the man adopted them, sent them to school and even gave them businesses to manage

That man was of cause the madam's husband whom had passed away about a year and half prior to this day

Then the madams husband close friend,Osleg Jack started coming after the madam and their wealth,even going as far as proposing to her yet she refused....so he had to resort to more extreme methods like taking her to Court and laying accusation against her

Osleg Jack was a very successful politician,his range of influence even stretches as far as the other four emporium cities

ghrosweav had no choice but to return home and act as a butler and protector for the madam and young master,whom is the only child of the madam and her husband

And his decisions where spot-on right for doing so, night after night day after day... assassins of unknown origin would come after the life of the madam

He had attended military school, Martial schools and some other fighting involved gatherings

So it was child's play for most of the assassin's but some where unreasonably strong...

If it was common snipers,gunmen, martial artist or even weapon specialist he wouldn't find mouch problem, especially with his -ehdraypole- a specially modified gun which could be used for sniping,firing multiple bullets and even has three seats of small missiles with great destructive power

Yet his problem where some strange people whom have inhumane speed, strength, durability and worse of all unnatural regenerative ability

This guy's could tank hits of the of grenades with just a few burns which would heal a single minute,bullets could barely do anything to them and shooting this guy's in their skull would only make them more aggressive

this guys would only die immediately when you completely blow off their head

The only good things about this guys are they seem to lack intelligence and they seem to be few in number as they only send one each time...

'This is going to be tough if the send one of those monster's.....but what if they send more than one?' ghrosweav thought

Suddenly a bang was head,ghrosweav didn't even hesitate as he quickly rolled to the side, leaving behind a afterimage which disappear semi-seconds later

Turning and facing the direction of the gunshots he shot without thought, directly putting a hole through the head of his assailant

But that was just the beginning

The guard and the driver but took out their own guns and started,in this dark space they where all wearing specially modified goggles with night vision and target marking features

Then ghrosweav suddenly pointed upwards and shot in three different directions...

in the next moment three bodies fell flat on the ground from different story buildings

"I guess you weren't called the monstrous aim of vilget for nothing, right ghrosweav?" A voice sounded suddenly as soon as the shooting stopped...all the gunners have no more emmo left

A group walked out of the building and darkness

Leading this group was a man drape in metal mechanic armor.....in this current era the production of mechs have not really succeeded yet,but they where very near that level as they had created mechanics armor,which where model after the ideal mechs

the problem with this mechs where the energy consumption,as powering such an active mechanism would cost to much energy loss and that would mean they would have to connect the mechs with wires when using it.

This however is completely unpractical as it would instantly turn off if the wires where to be cut of

The only way to solve this problem was a concentrated energy,which is also no been able to be achieved yet

That's where this Mechanic armor come in,small and portable... although it doesn't have much power; that is compared to the mechs...it still has enough power to make one man take on ten people twice his size and height and still win,the best part would be that it only needs as much energy as two cars and half to power it

Back to the man who was wearing the mechanics armor.

His face was was uncovered and his appearance was that of a middle aged man with black-greying hair and brown eyes,and a vertical scar on his for head

His current expression was that of an amused predator that had cornered it's prey.

"XT's butcher toy...you are still alive?" ghrosweav seemed to know the guy

But it's was likely not of friendship but of blood and enmity

"Hoho...even in death you still have the guts to call someone a toy?fine then I'll make sure to reap your tongue from your body...you bloody brats, slaughter this bitch!" The man which ghrosweav identify as Butcher toy roared out

"You two,they are about 50-60 of them, four of them are enhanced human martialist with mechanic armor, be careful with the rest and I'll take care of those two" ghrosweav said to the guard and the driver while pointing at butcher toy and another mechanical armored man

Both the driver and the guard where infact also enhanced martialist themselves

Enhanced martialist; this is an extremely well paying profession,but the profession is not one which anyone can become....

enhanced martialist are infact martial artist whom have gone through body modification allowing them advance beyond their body natural talent

Becoming a professional martial artist in this world order requires time, efforts,talent and resources

Martial artist in this current world are highly valued,as the police and authorities are just for show in reality,the police are only used to oppress the weak and poor forcefully imposing laws and rules on them

While infact the higher society have longe since taken control of the world, the rich and wealthy are the ones who controls the entire Faiths of the ones they consider lesser

For their own protection this higher society people have developed a law which allowed them to hire professional fighters as protection

As firearms where still considered illegal, although this is highly disagree upon by the

{Higher SOCIETY}....they have no choice as they also have opposing forces against them such as the

{FINAL DEFENSE BORDERS},

{THE CHURCHES ASSEMBLY} and {THE PEOPLES PARTY} each of this groups have different reasons and ideals but they conflict and support each other once in a while

The martial arts standard's considered for hire are those who could instantly kill a average man in less than a four moves,only by that standards are they consider professional

But the enhanced version of them are even scarier as they could fight four to five normal martial artist without enhancement and win in less than a 15 moves,which means two hit to three this guy's ehom could kill a average man in three move are even weaker to this enhanced version's

Immediately as the fight started murder toy hide at the back of his men, while the other three also started sneaking around in the crowd

While the brainless martialist driven by money hungry instincts rush towards them instantly

Their animal like behavior was expected as this where unprofessional martial artist whom would never become professional because of their lake of talent...and that left them no other option than to join an unlicensed organizations,or they would starve to death....this is the fate of must unprofessional martial artist as most of them spend their lives practicing the martial ways forgetting to learn other skills or even attend school properly

So upon receiving a task which would pay them about 1000 goldcopper each,they instantly lost their mind as that amount was enough for your average middle class family to spend for 2-3 years...of cause it would only last them,whom are martial artist 1 and half a year that's enough to make them joyful as they barely get such large scale well paying tasks

The way currency work in this world is like this;
