1 Prologue: Equality Day
It's a sunny day on Ileostrov island, the sky is clearer than usual for a winter day.
"I see you are all looking as lively as ever" says the professor sarcastically while looking at the students who are either sleeping or not paying attention to him.
Almost no one responds, the professor loses hope in catching the attention of anyone so he ends his class and dismisses them saying "it's last day of the year hope y'all didn't forget your masks or you might end up having it rough."
*****
Couple of decades ago in an attempt to solve one of the issues of the modern world the governments of the whole world decided to make the new years eve day an equality celebration day and that is by setting a rule that everyone has to wear the same mask till the midnight.
"a mask that hides all your facial features, what a shallow idea" says Ren walking out of university while wearing his cape over his head.
"And everyone is just blindly following the new rule cause it sounds all just....or 'cause it serves their personal interests" he thinks to himself while walking the city streets while everyone around him are wearing masks and acting normally.
"Now everyone just gives the discriminative look to whoever doesn't go with the flow and deem him a threat" he thinks to himself after a woman keeps looking at him after noticing he is not wearing a mask.
"i hate this day the most and i hate sunny days even more" Ren mumbles till he reaches the old district at the outskirts of the city where his house resides then he pauses and stands still for a minute while looking at something.

"A cat!!" Says Ren with an obsessive look all over his face while looking at the black cat with the red and blue eyes.
Ren stretches out his hand to pat the cat's head, but the cat ends up running away right before he touches it's head.
He watches the cat running away with disappointment and anger and says "i can't let this day get any worse i will just stay home for the rest of the-" he gets interrupted by someone shouting "hey kid"
A bunch of standing behind him, a girl and 3 boys an afro a grey haired guy and a blond hair guy, wearing the masks. "hey dude i am talking to you" the blond guy says while grabbing Ren's shoulder "isn't it rude to give your back to someone who is talking to you" he says in a taunting tone while holding his shoulder tighter.
Ren clenches his teeth as he turns his head looking at the guy with the corner of his eye, "oh what do we have here! a guy not wearing his mask and giving me such a scary look" the guy says in a provoking tone.
Ren clenches his fist trying to contain his anger and the guy says provokingly "did that cat get your tongue or is it that you don't believe in equality?!".
"You can go to hell with your equality!!" Says Ren With a smirk on his face as he punches the guy with all his might right in the face breaking his mask and knocking him down then he jumps at him pinning the guy down with a foot on his arm and holding his other arm with his hand "why did you stop running that loud mouth of yours or is it that this cat got your tongue" says Ren with a malicious smile and preparing to punch guy again in the face.
Right before Ren's fist reaches his face the afro guy and the girl grabs Ren's arms stopping him and pulling him away and the blond guy stands up while grabbing a metal pipe and gives Ren a sinister look, Ren Look at the guy with a sarcastic smile on his face " oh man, you did need that mask..maybe I shouldn't have broken it" then he tries struggling hitting the afro guy in the face with his elbow.
That's when blond guy prepares to hit Ren with the metal pipe and he lands it right at his head knocking Ren down unconscious.
They stand a little startled "We are done here, let's go before it gets any louder" says the guy with the grey hair.
Ren remains unconscious on the ground with a pond of blood expanding around him.
***
Several hours later
It's the first night in year 200..the city is quiet and the fishermen are out in the ocean catching some fish.
"It's a beautiful calm night" says an old fisherman while looking at the full moon in his small fishing boat
"I wonder if it's really that calm or is it that i forget to wear my ear aid again" says the fisherman while chuckling.
A flashing light appears on the horizon of the city and an echoing thunder-like sound strikes the area, a huge explosion occurs expanding right in the middle of the city destroying a dozen building with a shockwave that shatters the glass of almost the entire city buildings and making gigantic waves in the sea that sinks most fishing boats.
The fisherman doesn't notice the explosion at the bay behind his back due to his bad ears till the shockwaves reaches him shaking his boat almost dropping him off of it but he struggles to hold on tight to his boat till the shockwaves passes then he looks at the city with a big mushroom-like smoke covering half of the city.
