Dream of the Annihilation Girl

The Capital of the East and the Message

///

Tokyo. The capital of the Japanese Empire. One of the largest and the most populated cities, not only in the country but in the world. Starting as a fishing village that would become one of the most significant cities of the 21st century. It is the heart of the Japanese Empire, by itself, Tokyo holds more than 30% of the country's population. Important industries, banks, foreign company offices, and an endless list of assets that further solidify Tokyo's position as the heart of Japan and Asia region.

There is no one to compete within the region. Tokyo overshadows any other megapolis or city even in other countries.

China is divided, an endless civil war has been plaguing the country for almost ninety years. No conclusion in sight. With the League of Nations signing the Hsinking Accord of 1957 any hope for external support was lost. Japan was interested in keeping the fate of the Chinese state uncertain. The Soviet Union lost it's interest in confrontationist policy, due to the change in leadership. The British Empire was and is on an ongoing campaign to maintain its vast territories. The United States of America started to look internally once again, with the outside becoming an afterthought. Putting China into a limbo of uncertainty.

India and Pakistan, after gaining independence fell into disarray. Their borders intentionally nonsensical specifically made to breed contempt between the two nations. And parts of the former British Raj are still retained by the English. The biggest being the British Empire still holding a stranglehold on the fate of East Bengal. And by proximity making sure the two new-borns do not get over their heads with ambition.

Other smaller countries fall under the influence of the Four Leading Nations.

The name Tokyo translated from the Japanese language means eastern capital. And that name without doubt suits this sprawling metropolis. The Capital of the East is even more imposing if the Bombing of Tokyo is taken into consideration. Infrastructure, industry, buildings - all destroyed. Even the Imperial family suffered losses which would further embolden the country to fight.

When the fighting subsided and the world returned to peace, there was a question on everyone's minds.

What was the point of all this?

The conclusion of the Second World War was almost the exact same as the Great War. Borders barely changed. Millions of dead. World peace still an illusion.

A change in the world order was needed.

During the war, a new breed of humans was utilized in comparatively large-scale numbers. The earliest recorded birth was in 1920, Konigsberg, Germany. But was followed by more births soon after. Each year the number of new-borns that could be classified as the 'other' humans continued to increase. In the Second World War, these new humans joined the battlefield as the new weapons of the war.

And as is with all new weapons they were used differently by every country. Some had more success than others. The Third Reich, Japan, and the Soviet Union taking a special interest in these new breeds.

They were stronger, their origin unknown, and the new breeds themselves defying rationality. But classifying them as different was wrong. They still possessed human shape, mind, and heart.

So, there was no need to create a new word or term. Since deep within they were still humans.

This new changed the landscape of the war. Altering history without even being aware of it. What made these people so different from everyone else?

Evolution? God? Or maybe something even more illogical and unreasonable?

A few will know the truth. Even fewer will know the secrets 'this' world holds. Some of these few, who possess the mental fortitude and will, accept the truth differently. One of the few will be driven mad. One of the few will accept. One of the few will advance. And the final one will restore.
