[Inferno the Assassin]

I'm planning to post different um...posts in this thread for the chapters and stuff. This first one is only the prologue. So have fun reading!

Prologue

United Nations Headquarters, January 13, 2023

“The terrorists haven’t stopped, I tell you!” shouted the US representative furiously yet at the same time, worriedly. “It’s already done, we found their hideout and captured their leader, right?” said the French representative calmly. “Right?! Is that what we need? We need a sure answer not a question! And that answer is they’re not done yet!” argued the US representative. “People, please stay calm and keep order” reminded a representative of a different country. “Keep quiet!” ordered the US representative. Once he heard those words, the French representative pulled out a compact pistol he had hidden in his pocket and pointed it at the US representative’s head and pulled the trigger. After that, everyone ran away from the room and the French representative pulled out his phone and called someone. “It’s done sir. The man is dead.” he said to the person he called. With just that incident, an argument turned into a war.

 

[Inferno the Assassin]

CHAPTER 1

A man woke up on a different winter day in 2025. There were no snowmans, no sleds, no sleighs, and no kids playing outside. The place, Atlanta was protected by soldiers just like the rest of the country. The man was an engineer for the military. He tested new gadgets, weapons and such. He went to his lab which was only 3 blocks away. While he was testing a military x-ray goggles prototype, he noticed a strange figure through the wall of his lab. It looked like a vehicle. But not only one, but rather a group of them were heading towards Atlanta. He took off the goggles and started running towards his home, warning people while he was doing so. But no one believed him. The aircrafts were somehow not detected on the radar, leaving the city vulnerable. The man went to a special area in his home which was a bunker. These bunkers were supplied and built by the military in case of emergency. And then he heard screams and the sound of explosions from above. He felt ashamed that he only saved himself rather than everyone else. He then heard a very unlikely sound. Silence. But it wasn't long before he heard the sound of a hydrogen bomb ending the lives of everyone in the city except for him. Instead of feeling fear, he felt something else. Rage. Not rage at France but at war. He spent one whole year underground practicing combat and trying to find out the plans of the two countries so that he could end this war. After one whole year, he decided to equip himself with a full face gasmask, home made bullet proof blue winter jacket, a revolver, and two pocket knives. "It's time" he said.
