In the year 2100, Earth had evolved greatly with outstanding inventions. The earth's population had increased vastly beyond human comprehension, with diverse nations merging to form a stronghold for their citizens against insurgents and to share their natural resources.

The Earth continent had been reshaped into four. There was the 'Alpha Continent', the most prosperous continent in the world. The nations on this continent were hegemony on earth, deciding the direction of the earth economy.

The 'Beta Continent', this continent, was for the middle-class people. They look up to the Alpha Continent for directives. There was order in this continent. The government still looks after the welfare of its people.

The 'Thango Continent', this continent, was for the poorest, the lowest of the lowest. The continent had no government, organization, group, and family that ruled it. Though there was a law, passed down from the Beta Continent and there was the police. The police only favored those that had power and money, turning it into a lawless continent.

The 'Kehlog Continent' was the smallest continent on earth. It was located at the uppermost location of the equator. The Kehlog continent freezes throughout the year, without the settlement of humans.

Nevertheless, since the population of the earth is numerous, there's prone to be much negativity on Earth. A variety of deadly diseases sprout out of nowhere, killing the populace in large numbers. Though the earth's health infrastructure had been improved with the speed of light, the pandemic left them no room to enjoy their breakthrough in technology.

In the world of technology, computer computation has sprouted to diverse branches, birthing unspeakable Ai.

Now, Earthlings couldn't do without the use of Ai. Every department depended on Ai to fully bring out their maximum output.

Meanwhile, Ai improved the standard of living on earth, making everything easy and at their fingertips. With this, Numerous problems occurred. The lesser citizen was unable to purchase any useful Ai because of the exorbitant prices, leaving them to live a substantial life. While this was going on, the lesser people could not find a job anymore. The Ai had almost replaced every aspect of their jobs, rendering them jobless.

The government tried to fight against this unemployment, however; they realized that there was nothing they could do. As long as there was Ai on earth, the rate of unemployment would continue to increase.

Since the unemployed citizens could not afford the standard of living of the Alpha and Beta continent, they were forced to relocate to the Thango continent.

The Thango continent became overpopulated with unemployed citizens. Giving birth to various gangs and mafia bosses ruling the underworld. People die like rats in Thango. Where those that are fortunate to be recruited by gangs, powerful families, or organizations oppressed the unfortunate once.

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

It was either to be killed or to surrender to the oppressors. When you are fortunate to have a store in Thango, the amount you pay to the gangs will render you with little or nothing as profit. Thango became the land of darkness. Every art of evil could be found in Thango.

–------------------

10 years later.

In the northern part of Thango, inside the city of Vulture. In a desolate area, in the middle of the night, a young man was running with a lot of excess fat all over his body. He's the combination of three healthy young men. Every part of his body bounced as he was running, breathing erratically.

Humph! Humph! Humph!

He was sweating profusely, every step he took shook the ground. However, he kept on running with great difficulty. He would look back into the darkness every second.

Reaching a junkyard, the young man was frustrated, there was nowhere to go unless he could climb the 10 meters heaps of junks. However, with the kind of body he had, climbing the junks would be like climbing mountain Everest.

The young fat man shook his head, rejecting the idea of climbing the junks. Turning back, he was accosted with three men, looking at him in disdain.

Seeing the three men, the young fatty took a step back, shivering.

"I, I, I" the fatty stuttered.

"Shut your fucking mouth!" roared the middle man

The fatty quickly sealed his lips with his left hand, trembling. Sweats were dripping from his forehead.

"You borrowed money from us, but you are unable to pay us back. Do you think running from us is possible? Hmm." The middle man snorted.

The fatty kept quiet, he was muttering in a low voice, praying to God to save him.

'I promised to turn a new life if you can save me from this predicament

Though he never believed in God, he was just trying his luck.

"You knew what will happen when you did not pay our money back" 

The man by the left pulls out a dagger under his cloth. He walked toward the fatty, looking at him like a deadman.

The fatty quickly took a step back, crushing some junks under his foot. However, he had reached the dead-end, knowing his end had come.

The man curled his lips upward a bit, smiling like a devil.

He swings the dagger, cutting the chest of the fatty.

Ah!!

The fatty cried in agony, he staggered back, the pain he was feeling was too much, tears dropped from his eyes.

Blood gushed out of the wound nonstop. The man grinned, cutting the fatty in his abdomen again.

Ah!!!

The fatty could not withstand the pain. He fell on his butt, holding his chest and abdomen, wriggling in misery.

"Finish him," the middleman said with no hunch of pity.

The man holding the dagger nodded, taking a step forward. Suddenly, thunder roared throughout the sky, shaking the ground vehemently.

The three men trembled, they panicked. They looked up to the night. Immediately, another thunder roared again, with lightning sparking throughout the sky.

The three men looked at each other, seeing the weariness on each face. They turned to look at the fatty that was barely conscious.

The three men looked into each other's eyes and nodded. The man holding the dagger turned to face the fatty when lightning struck the heaps of junks. Sending the junks, flying everywhere.

It scared the three men silly. The middle man quickly turned and ran away from the junk site, not waiting for his fellow men.

Seeing this, the second man did not dillydally. He quickly rushed after the first man in panic.

The last man took a quick look at the fatty, seeing that he was almost buried under the junks. He stumped his foot on the ground and ran off.

'You're lucky for having a painless death, ' he thought.

Noticing that he was near his death, the fatty murmured.

"Father, Mother am sorry for being a useless son"
