Demon Slayer: Rise of The First Werewolf

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A decade Of Suffering

At the same time, a man dressed in luxury clothing with gold adornments all over his body stood opposite other rich looking men.

" Why should I share my resources with those mongrels, they’re mine!" One of those men shouted.

The others nodded agreeing with him, " Let us take what is ours back, I’m tired to draining myself for them."

They all nodded, the man behind them smiled as he kept playing with a golden ring on his finger.

The rich men all left one by one, they made phones calls, made arrangements and soon, the country moved.

This was a small country but it was a country none the less, its specialty were diamonds and aluminium.

Amongst smaller countries it was ranked around the middle in terms of wealth. So when its leaders moved, others noticed.

The military spread across the country, they collected all the money around the banks, all the jewellery they could find.

This not only surprised but enraged the people but those who dared speak up were shot on the spot.

The terrified citizens didn’t dare stand against the military any longer. It didn’t stop there.

Food stores, farms and any source of food was taken, trucks drove to secret locations in the mountains.

Here sat the underground bunkers of the leaders of the country, highly protected with metre thick titanium doors and biometric locks.

The resources were brought inside, " Stand outside, I’ll call you in soon." The president commanded.

He kicked everybody out, every worker, every soldier, including his own family were kicked out.

They weren’t really worried, after all, he needed them, he wouldn’t lock them out forever.

Inside, the president looked at the pile of resources with bloodshot eyes, " More more more, I need more."

He scratched his face, " Haha hahaha, yes, I’m the president, everything in this country belongs to me, no everything in the world belongs to me."

He locked the vault with all the resources then commanded through the speaker. " Listen up, take your weapons and take everything.

Everything belongs to me you understand, I want every grain of rice, every piece of meat, everything in this damned country brought to me."

Then soldiers were confused at first but then a feeling of greed overcame them and they moved.

The citizens who were already distraught found their homes being ransacked by the military.

This time they really took everything, including their clothes, most people were left naked, men and women alike.

The people cried and begged but the military would not listen. They had their orders and were trained to be soldiers.

Soldiers obey, they kept telling themselves every time they saw crying children but some of them were having doubt.

However as soon as drove back to the bunker, those doubts disappeared like smoke in the wind.

A feeling of greed and possessiveness over the hoarded resources resurfaced but this brought another issue.

Somebody else was already hoarding all the resources, the soldiers wondered, if they’re the ones with guns, why should they listen to him.

And so, as soon as the bunker opened they stormed in guns blazing, the old president couldn’t resist them.

Instead of fearing for his life, he rushed to protect his resources. The soldiers dragged him out and executed him in front of his family.

Through all of this, not one of them noticed the man who kept playing with a golden ring on his finger.

This man kept changing from an assistant to a soldier and nobody even noticed him, the soldiers finally had access to all the resources.

A month later, everybody in that bunker was dead, the last man standing died wounds after surviving the battle royale.

Everybody had been overcame by greed and they fought to the death including every other political leader.

It didn’t take long for other countries to find out but the events confused them, even so they knew.

The supernatural was involved because those events were illogical otherwise. The citizens didn’t know anything about the supernatural world.

However when they heard the leaders and soldiers who oppressed them were dead, they all rejoiced.

However new issues arose, the country no longer had any leaders, their trade with other countries was cut off.

In fact, the neighbouring countries were eyeing them like wolves, especially since they lost over 60 percent of their military.

They needed to stabilise the situation, a few visionaries saw that but the common people found it hard to trust leaders now.

They had no food, all of their positions were suddenly taken from them and all that was done by the person they trusted to lead them.

It was a hard blow to them, and soon, the neighbouring countries invaded and strangely they followed the same pattern.

Their first actions were going after every resource available while ignoring the citizens.

This was both a curse and a blessing for the citizens, if this continued their country would be wrung dry.

But if they faced the opposite army they were certain to die. Those two countries were stronger than theirs even during their peak let alone now.

However the situation was not as straightforward because before long, those two countries started fighting each other.

Unfortunately they used this poor country as their battlefield and many innocent people died one after another.

The food was running out rapidly, it wasn’t long before famine came. Food started rotting faster, too fast.

Scientists researched this phenomenon and found there was a new species of bacteria found in food.

They theorised the bacteria was all over the air, it didn’t just affect crops causing them to rot.

Anything edible rotted before it could be eaten as well, the strange happenings terrified the people.

More and more people died of hunger everyday, even the water was effected anybody who ate this rotten food.

They wouldn’t be full or gain any energy from it, on the contrary, it was like drinking sea water, they got even hungrier afterwards.

The people despaired. Over a decade went by and during this time, more and more countries were in the brink of collapse.

The leaders of said countries would act strangely, hoarding every piece of jewellery and money in their country.

They stole the food and water from the common people driving the citizens to more despair.

In the black market.

Annie sat with her hands on her face, she looked exhausted and so did everybody in the room.

" 11 years and we haven’t even gotten a glance of greed and now, more seals have been broken.

How many are they now, 3, 4?" She asked as if talking to herself.

" 2." A deep voice answered behind them.
