1 Prologue - Descending into Madness

"It's raining?"

He looked up, and decided to take out his parasol.

"I wonder how many more I'll have to kill."

He opens up his parasol to block the blood from coming down onto him. He looks around at his surroundings, and seeing no one, he turns to leave.

"HAHAHAHAHHAAH! More, Give me More! I want to kill a bit more, their terrified faces, show me more of that feeling!"

He walks away, leaving a trail, a blood trail behind him. Let's look into the memories hidden inside his world of blood, shall we?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He remembers the words his mother told him...but what did her face look like?

"Promise you will only use your power for the greater good. Mother knows that you're a good kid, I want you to use those powers to help those in need, not to hurt...ok?

"I promise," holding her hand close to him.

Those were her last words before she passed away. He always followed those morals; that was until he found out the truth. The emperor was simply using him for his own greed; he wanted more power. He secretly poisoned his mother and forced her to say those words. Knowing that, he went to avenge his fallen mother. He killed everyone that was related to the imperial family.

After being labeled as a rebel and criminal, he was being chased around the world. He was known as 'Evil' to everyone because the truth was hidden. Rebelling and fighting wars, he was extremely exhausted. Even after his death, he was regressed to the same time his mother died. It was like he was stuck inside this endless loop of suffering. Dying and dying, fighting and fighting. Never catching a break, every death was either being impaled or suicide.

"Can't I just fucking die in peace, why am I the one suffering. What did I do to deserve this."

As if his prayers were being answered, he was out of the timeloop. But little did he know, this one was even worse.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This next timeloop, he learned what truly went on with his mother's death. Isn't it funny? His mother, who told him to use his power to protect and not to hurt, was actually the one abusing her own son. He always thought that his mother was awesome, so imagine his surprise when he found out the truth. His memory was wiped by the church; before, when he trusted the imperial family, he was drugged with a memory-modifying pill hidden inside his drink.

His mother was brainwashed into thinking that everything she did was for the greater good of the imperial family. Because her son was powerful, the emperor wanted to make her son into a hunting dog. Removing the bad memories so he could let his guard down more was step number 1, so when he found that out, he became unstable.

Over the next few loops, he was lost. What would he do with his life now, he didn't know who to trust anymore. He was just quiet, never speaking, and letting his mother beat him. His eyes didn't have that determination to avenge his fallen mother anymore. He decided to run away; he wanted to just live a peaceful life. He met a woman, the woman of his life. He loved her, but she didn't love him. To marry her, he exposed his talent to her family. She was a princess, but he didn't care. He was quite a hypocrite, trusting the imperial family for the sake of love. Of course, he never gets a happy ending; he was betrayed, and used.

He was a puppet. Used and then forgotten, broken and destroyed. Once a puppet brings no joy, they are thrown away just like he was. He was unstable, exhausted, and his emotions were being played with. Just like that, he made a vow.

"If I can't have happiness, then why can they have what I can't."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Huff..Huff"

A monster, she thought as she ran into the woods behind the palace. A real monster. It was the dead of night and she was making love with her arranged husband. Their parents asked for an heir in the contract before they got married. But, why did that person have to appear.

The door was forcefully opened. The both of them turned to yell at the person.

"HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!"

"DO YOU WANT TO BE FIRED!"

They saw the maid come inside their room, even with the warnings they had just spewed. Something wasn't right. A man covered in a black cloak appeared behind her. They saw the man stab his sword deep into the maid's stomach; they soon saw the tip of the sword popping out. They were horrified while the man started laughing as if seeing them scared was the best feeling in the world.

"Kuek-HAAHAHHAA! You should see the look on your face Maria. I should've done this the first time if I knew you could also make that face."

Maria warned while stuttering, "Don't you know wh-who I a-am! I-If my family found o-out, th-they will have you beheaded!"

"Of course I do, but I don't care now do I," the man replied carelessly.

The man then turned his eyes toward her husband, Mikal. The man whimpered and fell down the bed; everyone could see him and his naked body.

The man laughed, "Pfft. I didn't know that you married such a wuss, Maria. I should end his misery before we continue this conversation."

The man walked past her patting her arm; he pulled out his sword and asked, "Any last words?"

Mikal begged, "P-Pl-Please, don't ki-kill me. I'll do an-anything. MONEY! I HAVE MONEY! Sp-Spare m-me ple-please!"

The man grinned, "You nobles are so funny. You should've thought twice before marrying this bitch."

With one quick move, he sliced off his head. The man turned around and said, "Well, now that the trash has been taken care off. Let's talk."

But Maria was nowhere to be seen.

"I guess I was to occupied with my lust of killing that I didn't even hear her running away. Oh well, prey is better when their at the brink of despair. I wonder what you'll show me this time...Maria," the man thought.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The man grabbed Maria's robes and used them to clean the blood from his swords.

"Seriously? I thought you would do something more interesting this time, but it's just another fucking death threat?"

The man looked up and asked, "How many more times do I have to do this till you're satisfied? This is so boring, I just want to die to be honest."

He grabbed his sword and slit his own throat. He hoped the next time would be more interesting.
