Once upon a time, there was a king, an ancient one, the ancient king was known to be an extremely wise one. He was so knowledgeable that not once nor twice his words helped shape the world. One could say that as a result of his great knowledge, he became immortal, more than immortal, unforgotten. It has been said that even now in the 31st century, his ideas are shaping every decision that the world governments make. While there are thousands of speeches that one would consider to be his greatest, not one could even stand close to his own favorite one:
'Thou shall not evolve, not through peace nor by necessity or desire. The only way we as a species can evolve is through conflict, hatred, pain, and suffering. That's how we as individuals, as a race evolve, through sin, through WAR! That is the truth, THE ONLY TRUTH, and as a result of that truth I shall never evolve.'
It has been told that the ancient king had ended every conversation he had with that saying. It has also been said that he had never once been in a battle nor his soldiers while he ruled his kingdom. He was indeed a kind king, an individual who truly wanted the best for his kingdom. He wanted his people to be happy and not evolve. Even though his kingdom was poor and weak, it was truly heaven on earth. But why hasn't the king chosen war? He could easily make his kingdom strong and rich, a kingdom full of food and money cannot be a sad kingdom. No one knew why the king hadn't chosen war, hadn't chosen to be evolved, not until he closed his eyes for the very last time when he said his last words to his only son:
'I could have created a heaven on earth through war and hatred, and I could die knowing that my people are happy and full, but I know the truth. I know that if I had chosen that path, the path of evolution, I know that at some point in the future, my people would become cruel, so wicked, and evolved, that they could destroy entire cities with a single attack. To evolve is to become better, stronger, smarter, to climb higher and higher and to reach Godhood, but it is also to become cruel and evil, to become a monster and to be able to create cruel weapons, a weapon that would destroy everything in their path. So forgive me, my son, forgive me that I didn't allow you to become cruel...'
While his words were revolutionary at the time, it took 1500 years to be used once again in World War 2 by Japan's 124th Emperor, Hirohito. After the US dropped Little Boy and Fat Man on Hiroshima and Tokyo, Hirohito ordered his men to surrender. The same men who chose to kill themselves instead of losing to the enemy and embarrassing their nation! The reason you ask, the reason why Hirohito surrendered? Well, in his own words:
'The enemy has for the first time used CRUEL BOMBS.'
As a result of the two world wars, and the wars that came before them, mankind has decided to ban weapons and tactics collectively that were considered cruel: the murder of women and children, flamethrowers, genocides, ghettos, and of course, nuclear bombs. Everything that was considered cruel was banned from the world, but they were still used, used in their full glory by monsters who didn't care how wicked they included the worst weapon ever to be created: THE WIND-BREAKER! Created in the year 2019 by the IDF to find a counter weapon to nuclear warfare, THE WIND-BREAKER is a weapon or, to be precise, a series of weapons that use a unique isotope of ozone called O3WB as its ammunition. Once fired, the isotope is released through a 0.000005 cm hole, with a pressure of 50000 psi. Due to O3WB's specific traits and the conditions it experiences as it travels through the weapon's body, once it comes in contact with the surrounding air, it immediately starts to convert the oxygen into the isotope, dragging everything with it and blasting through everything it comes in contact with. For example, with a single 'bullet', THE WIND-BREAKER can destroy a 15-story building, leaving nothing behind in less than one millisecond, and that's from 1 milligram of that isotope. And now, after hearing about the power of THE WIND BREAKER, could you even imagine the destructive power of a singular bomb, which contains 1000 tons of O3WB? Could you imagine what the soldiers who dropped that bomb on Gaza had thought after using it? Could you imagine the kind of monsters that would use that cruel weapon? Well, the sad truth is that you don't need even to imagine it because it has already been used thousands of times, in World War 3 by the winning army, the IDF, in addition to its other variants such as THE WIND PROTECTOR and THE WIND SNIPER, which till this day 1040 years later are still considered to be the strongest and cruelest weapon ever to be created. A weapon that conquered the power of the atom. A weapon that defeated hundreds of thousands of nuclear missiles. A weapon that could remove continents from existence. A weapon whose mere existence brought peace to the Middle East, creating one nation of great power from every Arab country and Israeli. Such was the glory and cruelty of THE WIND-BREAKER. I guess the ancient king was wrong after all, KA-KA-KA...but the one thing I still don't understand is how could I not recognize the object that was right in front of me back then, the same weapon that tormented my life and everyone I cared about. How could I not realize, as it stared at my soul in the world of red.

You were right! YOU WERE SOOOO FUCKING RIGHT, IN MANKIND'S ENTIRE HISTORY THERE WASN'T A SINGLE MAN WOMAN, OR CHILD THAT WAS MORE RIGHT THAN YOU!!!!"
"I did it…"I finally fucking did it..Finally…I found something different, something new…Something BLUE…."
"KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA"
Red mountains, RED sky, RED Ocean, and a RED sun, ever since I closed my eyes, all I saw was that disgusting color! No matter where I looked, it was the only thing that I could see!!! Left, right, forwards, backward, to the sides, above me, below me, everywhere I looked, I saw the same views! Colored with the same color!! That was the only thing that I saw!!! The color of war, death, pain, hatred.
THE COLOR OF BLOOD!
[1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13]
Well…. not exactly.
[17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59]
I did see the same views like someone copied and pasted the same 4 strictures everywhere while creating this world.
[61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 80?]
But...I didn't see the same red, no matter where I looked I saw countless types of the color red, dark, bright, even transparent! The world that I came into contact with was filled with every shade of RED that the human brain could perceive. I would have lost my mind by seeing the same color if not for all the different ways those sights were colored! But...that was it, that was all I got. All I got was RED mountains, a RED sky, a RED Ocean, and a RED sun, nothing more and nothing less, like a child drawing the same drawing. All that was drawn in that world was RED mountains, a RED sky, a RED Ocean, and a RED sun, with all known shades of red, KA-KA-KA...
IT WAS TORTURE!!!!!!!!
IT FELT LIKE SOMEONE WAS PLAYING SOME GAME WITH ME! SHOWING ME THE SLIGHTEST OF ORIGINALITY AND UNIQUENESS WITHIN THIS FUCKING WORLD! DAY AFTER DAY, NIGHT AFTER NIGHT, TEASING ME WITH THE POSSIBILITIES OF A SENSIBILITY WITH NORMALITY! THAT WAS THE ACTUAL TORTURE! NOT THE ENDLESS WALKING! NOT THE ENDLESS STARVATION! THAT INDIVIDUAL HAS CREATED A WORLD WITH NOTHING BUT PAIN! A WORLD THAT PURPOSELY TRIED TO PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURE ME! THAT WAS THE TRUE MEANING OF THAT WORLD AND ITS CREATOR.
The Protagonist:
"YOU PISS OF SHIT!!!! COME FROM WHERE YOU FUCKING HIDING!!!!!"

"There is no one here idiot…"
SIGH
[But…It is over…]
"It is finally over!!!! KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA"
That BLUE gun... The amount of excitement and joy that I felt when I saw it when I saw that gun! When I saw its color! It's...shade of BLUE...It was...DIFFERENT! I have never seen this kind of BLUE! I could not describe this shade of BLUE even if someone had pointed a loaded gun at me and forced me to! It's not like you couldn't recognize this color as a shade of BLUE, the fact is that I did! I did recognize it! That was what terrified me!!!!
Terrified?!
Yes...It terrified me! the joy of seeing that BLUE gun had quickly turned to FEAR! Its timing! Its placement!! Its shape!!! Its color!!! I didn't get it...I didn't understand it! That's why I was terrified by it! By the fear of the unknown! By viewing that gun! By experiencing that shade of BLUE! A shade that I never saw, a shade that I couldn't imagine anyone calling it a shade of BLUE. Or more perhaps...a shade of BLUE that only I didn't recognize it! Maybe it was the original!! The first one!!! Or more likely...The true one. No matter how you look at that gun, at that bullet, this color, it didn't have any resemblance to any kind of BLUE that I knew of!!!! No matter how loosely you would define it, no sane person would call it a shade of BLUE!!!!!! That's what I believed. There is no way you could say that this shade is a shade of BLUE...That's what I thought.
But it was…No matter how hard you wanted to deny it…it was!
I didn't know if it was the first shade or the true description of the color BLUE or even the newest one in the market, or even if that shade actually exists! I didn't know...
The Protagonist:
"I don't understand! From my point of view! This is not BLUE! This shade should exist!! So why, WHY!!!!! Why whenever I look at that revolver, at its single bullet!!!!! The only reasonable way that I could describe that color is as BLUE!!!!!! I know that I said it too many times but I don't think there is another way to explain it. I know that it isn't shade is wrong! I know that there is no way you could call it a shade of BLUE!!"
[But…this is the only way! How could I not call this color BLUE?!]
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! COUNT PRIME NUMBERS MY ASS!!!!"
"No matter where I look all I can see are shades of red! No matter how far I walk all I can see is the shades of that disgusting color!!! I HAD ENOUGH! SCREW THAT!!! Walking more than 901,973,456.43 km and seeing the same fucking sights, with nothing new, nothing different!!!!!"
[This place….I had enough of it!! With its creator!!! So tell me….]
"WHY NOW? WHY ARE YOU SHOWING ME THAT GUN NOW? DID MY ENDLESS WALKING START TO BORE YOU? THAT IS WHY THERE IS A GUN IN THE OCEAN. THAT'S WHY AFTER WALKING MORE THAN 901,973,456.43 KM THE ONLY THING THAT I FOUND IS A BLUE FUCKING GUN? TO ENTERTAIN YOU? WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?WHY?"
"Is this…you're doing…Father?"

"How long have I been here? In this world….."
[Days? Months? Years? Decades? Am I losing my mind?]

"Tired…"
"Hungry..."
[I don't remember the last time I drank a glass of water….I don't remember the last time I ate a meal….The last time that I slept… Opened my eyes…..I don't even remember a single thing that happened to me before I got here...Before I started to close my eyes….All I can remember is this place, this wicked world…Those RED mountains this RED sky, that RED ocean, that RED su-And that BLUE revolver, with its single BLUE bullet! A BLUE single-use revolver! Only one shot! Only one chance! Only one BLUE bullet!"
[My mother always told me that a gun is useless without a bullet, that a gun is meaningless without a target! That was yet another one of her catchphrases:]
'Without a bullet and a target, a gun is useless! Without a bullet and a target, a gun is meaningless! Without a bullet and a target, a gun is just a piece of metal.'
The Protagonist:
"Ka…..it seems you ain't useless after all KHA…KHA…KHA….KHA....."
