24-carat Atrocities

In the year 3020, a race of humans with superhuman abilities with a stream of visible 24-carat gold in their bloodstreams emerged. At first, the government didn't know what to do. With human instinct, we made the genius decision to try to experiment on them, and by experiment, I mean torture. So naturally, they declared war and the government ironically started calling them the Atrocities and the war has been going on for over two hundred years.

(Also I am aware that this may look like the Red Queen series but I wrote this before I read the book)
