New World - A New Beginning

After finally dying in the arena amidst a dystopian world, I was reborn into a new one. With unfamiliar faces all around me and a new identity as Jay Cadmium, I will become a powerful binder to support my family and protect what I hold dear. ——— Notice: This story is based on the popular webnovel and webcomic The Beginning after the End. Both stories start the SAME and only diverge later on. I'd highly recommend reading The Beginning after the End if you haven't already: https://tbatenovel.com/ ——— Discord: https://discord.gg/PjVE96NTEg

Burden of Power

SELENA DARCK'S POV:

What... have I done?

My legs trembled from the guilt that washed over me as thousands of Dwarves were burned to ash. I knew there was no way to stop the monster that was devastating the enemy, and I knew that the boy whom I considered my own son was no longer present.

Even though it was the only way to win, why did it have to hurt so much? Why did my family have to be the price I had to pay to save my people?

The final cries of pain died down alongside the constant stream of scorching flames, leaving only the silhouette of a young man in the wake of destruction.

Silence engulfed all of Lares. Everyone could only watch as trails of smoke vanished into the sunny sky, as the boy who had slaughtered an entire army stood motionless and void of emotion. His expression remained neutral, but upon meeting his gaze, I felt a stream of tears surge within me.
