Prologue

Amidst the lavish halls of the King's palace, an evening of celebration quickly turned into a nightmarish revelation for the individual who had awaited the promised honors with bated breath. Expectation and joy swiftly gave way to a chilling realization as the festivities unraveled into a web of deceit and treachery.

In the midst of laughter and clinking glasses, concealed motives began to surface, casting a sinister shadow over the grandeur of the occasion. The protagonist, initially filled with anticipation, soon found themselves at the heart of a malevolent conspiracy, their very life in jeopardy.

Faced with the grim choice of sacrificing oneself or witnessing the suffering of their beloved family, the individual was coerced into a harrowing decision. Desperation and anguish clouded their judgment as they yielded to the demands, consuming the fatal poison with a glimmer of hope.

Yet, the momentary peace that followed was shattered by the devastating discovery of their lifeless wife and daughter. Overwhelmed by grief and consumed by an uncontrollable rage, a cataclysmic display of power erupted, unleashing havoc upon the world.

A warrior, wielding a sword, stood amidst the ruins, visibly bruised and exhausted, gasping for breath upon the debris of devastation. Unintentionally, his actions pushed the world to the brink of annihilation, casting an ominous shadow that gripped both the planet and its inhabitants in terror. This catastrophic outcome shattered the very essence of existence. Among the few remaining survivors, echoes of despair resounded in the desolate landscape. Despite their anguished pleas for mercy, their cries fell upon deaf ears, unanswered and ignored.

Consumed by relentless agony, pain, and a relentless bloodlust, he continued to destroy everything in sight. Holding onto the last strands of life, he pondered his past as a hero, dedicating himself to protecting this world. However, what awaited him was treachery—a betrayal that shattered his soul. His family ravaged, his wife and daughters brutally murdered. This unfathomable agony catapulted him beyond the depths of despair. He never anticipated such betrayal, expecting honor from the king for his valiant efforts.

As the poison inexorably tightened its grip, the individual, haunted by unintended destruction wrought by their wrath, witnessed the ruins of their own making. Surrounded by the echoes of their unleashed fury, they breathed their last, succumbing to the darkness that enveloped them, forever haunted by the unintended consequences of their anguish and desperation.
