"Why… I was the one who rescued you all from destruction. I WAS THE ONE WHO LET YOU ALL LIVE LIKE THIS! But I guess you guys just don't get it. "
"Not that it matters…"
"You're all gonna be dead by morning. "
He cruelly smiled as he massacred a whole kingdom with his bare hands. No one could go against him. He was the embodiment of power… He was omnipotent in a world of pointless wealthy royals who depend on other people to shield them. He had no problem killing every single one of them… No one ever cared for him in the first place.
He was just a tool for them. No one ever saw Him as a human He was treated like a king but when they found no use for him they didn't care anymore.. They just attempted to execute him… It led to this.
They were foolish, the one who managed to kill a being capable of destroying their nation WAS HIM they never stood a chance in the first place. All their attempts in fighting back were futile. It was hopeless they were all just sitting ducks to The Hero or considering the recent events maybe you can call him, The Fallen Hero.
After the massacre the hero had nothing else left to do. He had nowhere else to head to… He was lost. He already did everything he wanted to. He was free.
Nothing was shackling him. He could do anything he wanted to. But, He felt empty.
He was always being pushed around. He was never treated right and now he was free from that torture, he could do anything… But for what reason? Everything needed a reason like the reason he decided to massacre everyone he had no reason to be happy all he did was murder them he didn't do anything righteous all he did was execute his revenge that was overdue. He didn't do anything wrong right. No, he was just exerting his anger; he even murdered the innocent. He didn't deserve to be free, He was a murder just like them.
No but it was revenge he thought, but just the fact that he killed innocent people made him a murderer. He wasn't innocent. He was as low as the people who tried to murder him. He wasn't the same as them he murdered with a reason, he didn't just kill them for his own pleasure. He was taking revenge for all the people they murdered, but did he really have to murder all of them? He could have just left the ones who were just being forced to help the royals. He didn't have to kill them all. He had all the power to just not kill them. But he did.
He was a monster. A monster who massacred a whole nation, He was the worst of them all.
He was a monster who disguised his killings with revenge. He didn't know he was killing, He just killed without a care in the world. He was the worst of them all.
As the realization sinks in he is sitting on top of the castle alone crying thinking about what he did. He felt guilty. He knows what he did and knew he shouldn't have done it, He knew He was wrong. But he said "What was done is done." He picked himself up and went out to try and enjoy his freedom. As he passed by the pools of blood he was disgusted at himself but he knew it couldn't be reversed so he just went his way. He walked by the castle walls saying his farewells to the kingdom, He still had hatred but the guilt overwhelmed it.
As he walked by the undestroyed villages with happy people he couldn't help but feel quilted thinking " What if I murdered one of their loved ones? What if one of them sent their child to the capital to study and I just murdered them?" he knew he at least murdered one of them… But he didn't want to admit to it.
He was recognized by the normal people as a hero as he passed by but they didn't know the atrocities he had committed. They only knew that he was a hero and should be praised… He knew he couldn't stay in this nation so he headed to the neighboring nations incognito. He didn't want to get recognized as the hero so he used his magic to change his face.
As he traveled through the forests heading to the neighboring country he passed by legendary monsters killing them easily. And this is more concrete evidence that nothing can go against him. He can kill monsters capable of destroying mountains, and they can't even make him bleed…
He can rule the world if he wanted to.
He wants to start a new life in a new kingdom with a new identity.
