Monster’s Reprieve - Live Another Day
Going against the corrupted world, the General had succeeded in what he’d set out to do.
With every enemy beaten, all obstacles cleared, and his soul drenched in blood, he stared at the blue sky and sighed.
He regretted it all. Everything. It wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t happy. Staring at the corpses of everyone he’d killed in the recent battle. He only felt deathly emptiness.
Why did I kill them… I could’ve just let some live…
He thought he was tired before the battle, but now he was truly drained. None of it meant anything.
It was over though. The war over. The battle finished. And his time was done.
If he had tried as hard as he could in the earlier battle, maybe he could’ve survived this, if he decided to, maybe he could stay alive. But it was too late. There was no point.
He had done it before. He’s survived against all odds and even against greater things, he’s powered through it all.
But no. It wasn’t worth it. He was better off dead. So he allowed it.
And it was over.
The fool was dead, but someone nameless into another world would not be.
Authors Note: Not a wish fulfillment story. I just wanna make something half decent at this point.
