The Revolutionists
Description
Warning: Please don’t take this story too seriously, especially those who are religious.
Humans needed a scapegoat, and they needed one desperately.
Their thoughts were collected, and a scapegoat was created.
They called him the devil.
This phenomenon lasted a couple of decades, until this scapegoat became useless. He was too kind and gentle for people to believe he was evil.
They ran out of excuses to blame him.
They wanted a hero to punish this devil. This figure was born, and they called him God.
God acknowledged the devil’s previous mistake and played his role the way the humans wanted.
The devil hid away into the darkness.
God tried to find him, as they were brothers. He wanted to tell him that all was just an act for the humans. Before God could explain, the devil created a hell - not allowing anyone to enter. God was angry by how his brother pushed him away, so he created a place called heaven, not allowing the devil to enter.
This relationship of theirs lasted for centuries, until God found a way to kick the devil out of his hell.
“And the people bowed and prayed, to the neon God they made”
Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel
Foreword
When a country goes into war, those soldiers are heroes no matter how many people they kill. When citizens start a war with the country, they are terrorists no matter how many people they save.
This was the reality in Exeria – a parallel universe from ours.
Located on the far east of Exeria is the Water Sound Kingdom, where it is ruled by the monarch. The name was derived from the sonar system they used. Sonars are floating water droplets that produce sounds as they monitor and regulate the Kingdom. The people there are given supernatural abilities by the system to defend their land and prosper their business with other countries.
This system was envied by many until the current King misused it - he altered the system to his advantage.
Women and children were captured by the soldiers. Those who excelled in universities were forced into the army, whereas those who protested were greeted with poverty.
People began betraying their family and friends to get to a higher rank, because that was all that mattered in the Kingdom.
A group of revolutionists hid themselves within the corrupted society, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
They are the Peace Worriers.
