Chapter-1
PART-1
Year: 2108. Number of Humans left: Less than 89 million. Number of Vheumans: 9.74 billion.
In a rural area of a city in the country called Pitseol a human boy was sitting beside a wall in a small alley.
The boy looked dreadful as he had not eaten anything in days. His clothes were dirty and ragged. His body looks like an empty vessel with no mind.
The boy looked to be 7 years old.
He was lost in thoughts that led him to this situation. He thought to himself,
"Until a few years ago I was living my life in happiness, my mother and father were both alive. Why? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO DIE! WHY? WHY? WHY? WH-"
Suddenly, a street dog started barking at the boy. The boy looked at the dog with his lifeless eyes.
Seeing the boy's unhindered look, the dog started gnawing at the boy's skinny legs. The boy quickly got hold of the situation.
He picked up a shard of glass near him and lunged it at the dog's throat. The dog started bleeding and stopped biting.
In a few minutes, the dog went unconscious due to blood loss. But, the dog was still alive.
The boy cut out the skin that was covering the dog's heart. "Is this the thing that gives these Animals life?" the boy thought to himself.
He thought of killing the dog, but he didn't.
Instead, he brought the dog to a vet. The vet workers were all Vheumans.
The boy brought the dog to a vet worker and left the dog on the floor. Then, the boy ran away from the place.
The vet workers were all too horrified to stop the boy and ask him about the dog.
The dog was impossible to save, so they prepared a grave for the poor thing.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Afterwards, the boy went off to find food. He begged and begged everyone walking in the streets.
But since most of the population of Pitseol are Vheumans no one donated to him just because he was a human.
So, he had to resort to stealing.
He went to a street vendor selling fruits and vegetables.
Quickly, he grabbed a few cherries and ran as fast as he could. The vendor couldn't catch him.
The boy went off to another small alley.
He sat beside a pile of trash and ate the cherries, including the seeds.
Then, the boy went off walking around the streets and alley.
And on a certain alley, He saw some Vheuman kids a few years older than him bullying a Human kid.
The boy went off to the Vheuman bullies, and punched one of the Vheuman kids in the face.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing you little bitch!" The Vheuman kid screamed and lunged at the boy.
The boy used the same piece of shard that he used to kill the dog and lunged it to the shoulders of the Vheuman boy.
The other Vheuman boys ran away while screaming random slurs.
The bullied kid asked the boy, "What... is your name?"
The Boy replied, "It's Archie Ackermin''. What's your name kid?"
The kid replied, "I am, Ayu-"
Suddenly, Archie kicked the kid who was sitting beside a wall in the face and put his feet on the kids face and said,
"The next time you let yourself be looked down by the Vheumans, I will be the one to murder you."
Suddenly, a passerby noticed the incident and went to help the unconscious Vheuman boy. The passerby screamed out for help to the others.
Archie took the hand of the bullied boy and ran as fast as he could out of there.
Archie took the bullied boy to a rural place with lots of broken houses where lived a lot of homeless people. All of them were Vheumans.
They went inside an abandoned building.
Archie once again asked, "What's your name?"
The boy replied,
"It's Ayumu, Ayumu Nozawa."
"Sorry for kicking you, I lost control of myself back there Ayumu. But I had to make sure you wouldn't let that happen again."
"It's okay, you saved me after all." said Ayumu in a sad tone.
"No, I am truly sorry. By the way, do you ha-" Suddenly Archie went unconscious and fell to the ground.
Info:
Vheumans mostly look like humans, but have some animalistic features. As example, Velines are a subspecies of Vheumans who have cat-like features such as, ears which look like cat ears on top of the head instead of the sides of the head, a tail, better vision, increased agility compared to humans and their fur usually grows near the area where the tail is connected to the body, on the tail and on their head. Most of the Vheumans have much better skills and abilities than humans, but their average IQ is less than the average humans. Average Vheumans IQ ranges from 90-120 and for Humans it's 100-155 IQ. But some Vheuman subspecies like the Foxmans and Dolphines have higher average IQ than the rest of the Vheumans. Most of the Vheumans can drink unpurified water and eat dirty foods, but some can’t.
(A/N: Dolphines and Foxmans are spelled like this on purpose, both Foxmen and Dolphines are fictional sub specie names)
