Kong stared blankly at the screen, the dim glow from his gaming monitor reflecting off his rugged, chiseled face. The game he'd been playing for hours now felt like every other game-a repetitive cycle of shooting, looting, and leveling up. For someone like Kong, a 7'5" tall Navy SEAL colonel with a body carved out of pure muscle, none of this felt satisfying anymore. He had beaten every game, read every book that caught his interest, and watched all the action movies Hollywood had to offer. He sighed heavily, pushing himself away from the desk.
"None of this bullshit can make me satisfied," he muttered to himself. His deep, booming voice echoed in his small, cluttered room.
Kong needed a real adventure, something that would pump his blood, a thrill that no virtual simulation could provide. He stood up, his towering frame barely fitting under the low ceiling, and decided to explore his house. Maybe there was something hidden, something he had overlooked.
Wandering around the house, his mind drifted to the stories his grandfather used to tell him about the mysterious basement that nobody ever dared to enter. With nothing better to do, he decided to head down there. Kong stomped his way down the creaky wooden stairs, each step groaning under his massive weight.
The basement was dark and dusty, filled with boxes and old furniture draped in cobwebs. As he rummaged through the mess, his eyes caught a strange glimmer from the corner. A small device, no bigger than a smartphone, was lying on a rusty old workbench. It looked out of place-shiny, sleek, and definitely modern.
"What the hell is this?" he wondered aloud, picking it up. It had a single button in the center, glowing faintly.
Without much thought, Kong pressed the button.
Suddenly, a bright flash enveloped him. The world around him twisted and warped, like a kaleidoscope spinning out of control. When the light faded, Kong found himself standing in a barren, prehistoric landscape. Massive creatures roamed in the distance, and the air was thick with the smell of damp earth and primal life.
"What the-Stone Age?" he guessed, looking around in astonishment. He quickly pressed the button again, and in another flash, he was back in his basement, the device still in his hand.
Kong's heart pounded in his chest. He had just traveled through time.
For the next two days, Kong could think of nothing else. He experimented with the device, jumping to different eras-Ancient Rome, feudal Japan, the Viking Age, the Wild West. With each jump, his excitement grew. The power to travel through time was in his hands. But all this hopping around still left him feeling... empty. Then, an idea struck him like a bolt of lightning.
"I've always wondered what it'd be like to conquer the medieval era," he mused, grinning to himself. "And with this thing," he said, holding up the device, "it'd be a piece of cake."
One Year Later
Kong wasn't a man to rush things. If he was going to take over a medieval kingdom, he'd do it right. He spent a year preparing, studying everything he could about the Tudor era, particularly during Mary Tudor's reign. He learned the language, the customs, and the technology-or the lack thereof. He trained himself in medieval combat styles, just for fun, and gathered a modern arsenal that would strike fear into the hearts of anyone who saw it.
When the day finally came, Kong was ready. Dressed in full military gear with body armor, assault rifles, and enough ammunition to start a war, he stood in his basement once again, holding the device. He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Let's make history," he said with a smirk, pressing the button.
Arrival in Tudor England
The marketplace in the heart of a Tudor town was bustling with activity. Merchants shouted their wares, horses clopped along the cobbled streets, and people dressed in rough wool and linen went about their daily routines. The peaceful hum of medieval life was shattered in an instant by a deafening roar-BANG! BANG! BANG!
Kong appeared in the middle of the square, towering over the townsfolk like a colossus, his modern military armor and weapons gleaming in the sunlight. His presence alone was enough to cause chaos, but the gunshots he fired into the air sent the people screaming in all directions.
"EVERYBODY, FREEZE!" Kong bellowed, his voice echoing like thunder. "This town is under new management!"
A group of guards, armed with swords and halberds, rushed towards him. Their chainmail clinked as they ran, and their faces were a mix of fear and determination. Kong simply aimed his rifle and pulled the trigger-BANG! BANG! BANG! The bullets pierced through their armor like paper, dropping them in seconds.
The crowd was in a full-blown panic now. Word spread like wildfire-there was a giant in the city, a man over seven feet tall with weapons that could kill in a blink. They whispered of a demon, a monster, a new god. Kong watched the chaos unfold with a satisfied grin.
From the royal palace, word reached Queen Mary Tudor of the chaos in the town square. Her face turned pale as she listened to the reports.
"A giant man, you say?" she asked her advisor. "With a weapon that kills without a blade?"
"Yes, Your Majesty," the advisor stammered. "We've sent hundreds of knights, but only half have returned, and they're gravely wounded."
Mary knew she had to act. This was no ordinary threat. "Send more men. We must stop this madness."
Meanwhile, Kong continued his display of dominance, shooting at any guard who dared approach. He had made his point, but he was running low on bullets. No problem, he thought. He could always return to the future for more.
With a quick press of the button, Kong vanished from the medieval scene, leaving behind a town in terror and a kingdom buzzing with rumors of the "giant man with the killing stick."
Back in his own time, Kong chuckled to himself as he restocked his ammunition. He knew he'd be back. This was just the beginning.
And with that, Kong prepared to return to the Tudor era, ready to continue his chaotic conquest. The kingdom had no idea what was coming next.
