A Fool's Ambition

The Massacre

What would you do if everyone on the planet despised you? 

A man named Alexander Kudret was reviled in his community; Alexander is twenty years old and lives in Ashor, near the small town of Wealdstone. 

He doesn't mind it at Wealdstone, but everyone there loathes him; they absolutely hate Alexander simply because he was born. 

Now, I am one of many who would not live in a town that hates me, but Alexander has always been hated, and even breathing causes the town to erupt in flames. 

Alexander is a nice person who is also incredibly strong. 

He has never lost a fight or a battle; some would say he is the strongest man alive, but the town will never admit it due to their pride and ignorance. 

One person on the planet liked him five years ago, and her name was Adalie Frida.

 She was a wonderful person who had been raised to love everyone, but she did not fit in at all. 

Adalie struggled to fit in, mainly because people were hurtful to Alexander; so, she made it a priority to become his friend. 

Alexander and Adalie walked home together, cooked food together, and played tag together, and Adalie made certain that no one hurt Alexander's feelings.

 They balanced each other's strengths and weaknesses, making their friendship the best. However, the townspeople disliked her and referred to her and Alexander as vermin—wild animals that spread diseases that kill crops. 

Adalie and Alexander were outcasts, people who did not fit in, and one morning the town decided to capture Adalie in order to make Alexander lonely; he was furious and set out to find Adalie, full of rage and uncertainty because his very existence threatened her. 

As he walked into town and faced the crowd to see his only friend, Adalie, burnt to a crisp, he remembered Adalie telling him, "The town does not realize, but you are a wonderful person, someone who is comforting and perceptive; no one can compare to you, you are also my only friend." 

He kept his emotions in check and walked away in tears when he remembered those words; and from that day forward, he vowed to treat everyone as if they were Adalie, no matter what they did or said to him.

Ten years after Adalie was murdered, he joined the military, and in this world, there are monsters, both large and small.

 Many are violent and seek only human flesh, so humans have evolved to deal with these monsters. 

Everyone on this planet has a special ability that is unique to them, but Alexander can manipulate anything, including his imagination; he can do anything.

 However, there is one thing he cannot do, and that is manipulate time, because of his inability to grasp an outcome.

 When he thinks into the past and future, he is confronted with an infinite number of possibilities, which overwhelms him. 

Alexander heard a rumor that there was a portal somewhere on this planet that could transport people into the past.

 Alexander had never considered it until he heard it call his name and sensed an aura of pure evil.

 Alexander fights every day, and everyone still terrorizes him; nothing has changed, except him. He is constantly told that the monster should swallow him whole, and his comrades sometimes attack him while he tries to protect them.

 He never harmed his comrades because he made a vow to himself, a vow formed only by Adalie's words.

On one particular day, he was dispatched to war; humans versus monsters, and he would manipulate water into ice shards, ice shards to vapor for a mist screen, air into tornadoes, and much more. 

He is undefeated; not even a scratch will form on him, and if one does form, it will be from a comrade's attack. 

He was fighting a massive monster that resembled a demon in appearance. 

It stood out on the battlefield, killing many people, so Alexander challenged it, and as he began, a comrade rushed at him with a sword, slicing his hand.

 His comrade said, "You are a vial pig." "This monster will kill you because you are weak, nothing, and a waste of our food supplies. "

 Alexander quickly processes his next action, so he manipulates his platelets to stop the bleeding, followed by manipulation of his cells to reform his hand. 

With his hand now healed, the monster attacks his comrade, and without hesitation, he throws his spear, which charges through the air, whistling like a roar of hope and a warning of death, and while it soars, he makes the spear as big as a mountain, and just as it hits the monster's head, he manipulates the spear's trajectory ninety degrees to the left, and watches as the spear rams through the monster's vital organs from head to toe.

 As Alexander watches his spear kill the monster, he says, "spear manipulation complete," and then slowly walks towards his comrade after saving his life, only to see his comrade stabbing himself and saying, "I would rather die than live a life knowing you saved me."

 As he watches his comrade fall to the ground, Alexander sobs, not understanding why everyone despises him; all he wants to do is help others.

 His general and all of his comrades look at him and label him a traitor; they capture him and transport him to his hometown, Wealdstone. 

The military carries him and hangs him against a wall, and the crowd cheers, "Let us make a fool of him," "Let him scream like Adalie did."

 Alexander, like a ticking time bomb, becomes enraged, filled with hatred, and more unstable by the second.

 His memory is filled with agony and pain, and every negative event in Alexander's life flashes through his mind, and as each memory flashes faster and faster, he loses regard for his life. The time had come; Alexander had chosen his target. 

His mind tells himself that he is a disease, and he convinces himself that everything the townspeople were saying was true, but then the last ray of hope flashes through his mind, and it is happiness, happiness that only one person can give him, Adalie.

 He convinces himself for a split second that he is a wonderful person, until the tragic memory of Adalie's burnt corpse flashes through his mind... "I can't do it anymore!" screams Alexander.

 He untangles himself and declares, "Hell's wind." Roofs are ripped off, and people fall to the ground as if pinned by the wind. 

Alexander then performs, "Hell's spikes," and spikes fall from the sky, piercing the townspeople's hands and feet.

 Finally, he says, "Doomsday," and everyone self-combusts, leaving only blood splattered everywhere. 

Alexander believes he is cursed and transforms into the evil he sensed through the portal. 

Many would argue that the devil is the portal that manifested itself in him, but Alexander and the portal are now one. 

They are bound together, and the only way out is to cut the thread.

 Alexander follows that thread and approaches the portal hidden behind a brick wall, he crushes the bricks into small pebbles, and looks at it. 

He reaches out his hand, and the portal engulfs him, descending Alexander into the past. 

Alexander may have become evil, but just remember that there is still good inside of him. 

He is lost and broken, trying to find a way, but I will leave you with this: Alexander is a hero... to be continued!
