The place was deserted. No life-forms could be traced not even a single plant nor animal. The buildings were destroyed which was apparent from its craters and holes. The only beauty in this land was the afternoon sun, which shot its rays of sunlight to the barren land.
In this ruined and abandoned city, near the church, three monsters with ogre-like faces, a body of a small dinosaur, and a giant tail were eating a dead body of a giant beast that resembled a tiger known as the Vajra. The three monsters eating the dead beast were known as the Ogretails. Unfortunately, what those three did not expect was an ambushed of its same food… another Vajra. In the matter of minutes the Ogretails met the same fate as their food.
Hiding inside the nearby building, three people - A black-haired man wielding a sword, a woman with a large gun, and a blue-hooded teen carrying a buster blade - waited for the exact moment to strike down their target, the Vajra.
The first to charge out the building was the black-haired man followed by the blue-hooded teen and woman. The battle had begun. It was not long until the battle of the Vajra and these three people ended.
The black-haired man lifted his blade up while the other two guarded him from any ambushes. Soon enough the blade was covered with a monstrous mouth. He directed it towards the dead beast and let it do its job, devouring. As soon as it finished, he checked what he got. "Hey, it's a rare one." he said.
"To the victor go the spoils, as they say." said the woman as she walked towards the male.
"I bet Old Man Sakaki will have a fit over this."
"Now if they'd only get us some reinforcements…"
"Let's head back. I'm starving!"
As commanded, the three then walked back. "What kind of rations are they serving today?" the woman asked.
"Huh? Actually, that came up during the last food supply meeting…" replied the black-haired man, "got it, we're having a new type of corn!"
"Whaaat? You mean that giant corn-on-the-cob again?" the woman whined, "But that's so hard to chew…"
"Hey, times are hard. You should be grateful you're getting fed at all!"
"Hey, Soma. I'll trade you. What do you say?" The woman stopped and turned to hooded teen.
"No way." he answered.
"Come on, you guys! You wanna be left behind?" the black-haired man asked.
Humanity was now in the brink of extinction. The world, as we once knew was once ruled by the only beings given intelligence called humans, was now on the brink of destruction. It was the year 2074, and less than ten percent of humanity survived since they appeared...
The Aragami
Intelligent creatures that appeared unknowingly twenty years ago. Creatures that evolved in time. Creatures that devoured anything for the sake of gaining abundant information. Creatures that took shape in the form of Gods. Creatures that lead humanity to the brink of extinction... These were the Aragami.
For twenty years, the Aragami and the humans were at war. Unfortunately, the man-made weapons created by the humans dealt little to no damage from these monsters. The only reason the humans survived and their only hope for regaining humanity was... The Gods Eaters.
The Fenrir Corporation developed these super-powered soldiers to fight against these beasts. They were the ray of hope and the representative of humanity. Left with no choice and imbued with oracle cells in their bodies, The Gods Eaters fought with their lives on the line. For the sake of humanity, the Fenrir Corporation will do whatever means possible... even if they would have to dirty their hands...
In the land of what was known as Japan, a small branch in what was called as the "Fenrir East Branch" stood there as the home of Gods Eaters. Inside the Director's Office, a man named Johannes Von Shicksal sat in his chair and was currently studying various reports until a certain call interrupted him. "Director, we've found a possible match for a New-Type Gods Eater in the database." A female voice said through the speakers.
"I see. What's his name?" The director tapped a button on his computer and soon showed the candidate's profile. "Her then… So the candidate is a girl?"
"It would seem so."
"Bring her in then. Contact the candidate's guardians and inform them about this. Retrieve her and make sure that she is well-protected, so she could immediately take the aptitude test."
"Director, isn't that too hasty?" The operator voiced her concern.
"We are already at crucial times... You may not know that she could be humanity's only hope. I hope you understand this much."
"... Understood." She replied ending the call.
The director then looked over the candidate's profile. "Yuzuki Ito... Sixteen-years-old... I wonder... Could you actually be the hope for humanity?"
The Director scrolled down to read more of the candidate's biography until something surprised him. "Impossible... She's... No matter. Although it does surprise me, but that would be for the best."
Standing at the entrance of the building, a black-haired girl stared at it. She wore white gloves that reached till her arms, a black blouse, a pair of violet pants, and a pair of combat boots. Her skin was fair like it was carefully painted, her long, black hair danced with the wind, and her beautiful crimson eyes gazed at the building with disinterest.
"This is the place." She muttered, her voice was monotone.
Slowly, she walked towards it with no interest. As she entered, a scientist greeted her and led her to what seemed to be the training facility.
In the middle of the room, a machine was placed, and in it was a large sword. The machine was like a table with a roof, but instead of fabric as the roof, it was metal. For some reason, Yuzuki seemed reluctant to put her hand in it as if the upper part of the machine would crush her hand.
A voice grabbed her attention. "Sorry to have kept you waiting so long."
Yuzuki looked above and saw a man wearing a white coat with two people beside him in the observatory deck. "Now then, let me welcome you… to humankind's last fortress, Fenrir…" he continued, "I will now test your compatibility as a member of the Anti-Aragami Punitive Force, the Gods Eaters. Please try to relax a little. You'll get better results that way. When you're ready, go stand in front of that case in the center of the room."
She looked towards the machine in front of her. It was like a stand to sell food, but instead of food, it was a large sword. She walked towards it, and reluctantly placed her right arm on it. Her heart beat loudly from her chest. The fear of her hand getting crushed was slowly tempting her to pull away, but as soon as she was about to, the upper part of the machine immediately clomped down to her.
She flinched as pain shot from her arm, and bit her lip to refrain from screaming. She refused to scream. She held her right arm with her left hand to lessen the pain.
In reality, the process took only a minute, but due to the pain, Yuzuki seemed to think it took an hour. When the upper part of the machine immediately let go of her, the pain subsided. A red bracelet was now in her right wrist. She then grabbed the handle of the sword. It felt… light to her. A black cable-like thing then connected with her bracelet. She felt power flowing through her bloodstream sending it to all over her body. Before she could drift from her thoughts, the man's voice shifted her attention towards him. "Congratulations. You are now the first of the Far East Branch's "New-Type" Gods Eater. This concludes the Aptitude Test."
The girl looked at the observatory deck. "Now that we know you're a match, you'll be going for a medical checkup next," he continued, "Now then… I'd like you to wait in the room beyond that door… Don't hesitate to let someone know right away if you start feeling… unwell. I have high hopes for you!"
She stared at the men before she turned and walked out of the facility.
"What do you think of her, Payler" the director said as soon as the girl walked out of the room.
"I don't know. She seemed quite frail. Do you really think she'll be sufficient?" one of the scientist answered.
Payler wore a brown coat over a pink, yellow, and orange dress-like clothes as if it portrayed the color of the sunset. He looked at the door, which the girl had exited, with his almond eyes.
"Don't worry. She'll soon become a powerful soldier already. I won't be surprised if she got to the leader's rank in less than a year."
"How could you be so sure? It seems like you know something about her, Johannes."
"You'll find out why."
