1 Death

The whole world was celebrating the death of the most evil man in the history of mankind, a man who was feared by everyone. 

The man massacred countless families and tortured them to get anything he wanted. Countless people died by his hands simply because he did not agree with their views. It is rumored that if all the blood of all his victims combined could cover a country.

However, surely this alone could not make him the most evil man to be born right? Who is to decided what is considered evil and what is not. If merely killing your enemies is evil, then what makes him different from those proclaimed heroes and protagonists who trampled anyone in theirway and view them as nothing but stepping stones? 

People applaud the heroes and protagonists while despise and feared the villain and antagonists. It is funny how the same action could be viewed in two different ways. The world clapped and cheered for one yet despise the other.

Today would definitely be a memory to the world as they rejoiced the death of the most evil man born in mankind, and the whole world will dance and celebrate all night long. 

Well, that seems to be what is the case right now, or is it?

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

In the middle of a desolate plain lay a man, with both his arms and legs severed from his body. It was already a miracle that the man has not died yet. 

With a sword piercing his body, the man layed in a deserted plain with everything around him destroyed from the aftermath of his battle.

The man looked in to the sky as he knew that he was fated to die that day. Even in his final moments, the man did not show any emotions. However, if one took a closer look, his eyes were fully filled with regret. 

In front of the man, a man with black hair stood, suprisingly there was not even a single damage on his body even after their battle which destroyed all of theirs surroundings. Behind the black haired men stood four woman who were covered with light wounds from their fight againts the dying man.

"How does it feel die? Only now can you feel the pain and sufferings of the people who suffered by your hands" The black haired man broke the silence as he shouted.

"Do you now regret the way you lived?" The black haired man continued

"If only you never changed..., we would have..." One of the woman behind the black haired man spoke but could not finish the sentence as she fell to her knees and cryed

"The Lucas in your memories is already dead.. the one in front of us is nothing but a devil" Said the black haired man as he hugged the crying woman in his arms

"We need to leave soon and announce to the world that Lucas Sylvester has died in the hands of Vincent, thereby increasing his image even furhter" another woman proposed

Soon after this exchange, Lucas was left alone in the desserted plain. He stared blankly at the sky as he muttered" Would it had been different if I did not live that way?" 

"Would it had been any different if I did not change and ignore everything?" Lucas muttered those words as tears fell through his face.

Lucas then closed his eyes as he collected his thoughts. Although he was deemed as the most evil person born in humanity, this title was only given to him in recent years.

He who is now a being that is hated and feared by everyone in the world was once a bright and cheerful young boy that is nothing like he is now. 

"I am sorry.. I am sorry.... I am truly sorry... mom.. dad.. everyone.. I am sorry..." Lucas muttered those words over and over again as he regretted that he could not save his loved ones

Lucas then felt his senses leaving his body and he closed his eyes to commence his eternal slumber.

'This is it now right.. my ending.' 

when suddenly a bright light called out to him:

"Do you regret it my child?"

"Yes" Lucas could not help but burted out the word

When suddenly, the bright light called him once again:

"Do you wish to change everything?"

He could not but be stunned this time, Lucas could not help but laughed and replied "Yes, I want to change everything!"

The bright light replied to him once again:

"Show me something more interesting this time my child.."

Suddenly, a bright light that is countless times brighter than the light before engulfed in his body, and a hovering screen materialized before him:

[Do you want to turn back time and change everything?]

[Yes/No]

A smile appeared in his pale handsome face as Lucas questioned himself 'What am I even doing? Have I gone insane from facing death?' Lucas felt that his mind was playing tricks and he had gone insane from facing death

Lucas then pressed YES even though he believed that this is only an illusion

As soon as Lucas pressed yes, multiple screens appeared before him
