I woke up and thought I should attempt writing some angst cuz why not. I wrote this in like 3-4 hours so there's bound to be some grammar mistakes and other mistakes. I was also playing around with parallel structures. Enjoy:)!
One miscalculation was all it took to cause the demise of all his family and loved ones.
Cale stared blankly at his companions'–no, his family's-- bodies.
The Crown Prince Alberu Crossman, his hyung, that he was having a glib battle with moments ago was now a corpse lying on the dirty and bloodstained ground.
"Hyu-hyung, get up, you have to b-become King so I can get get my slacker life"
'What are you hoping for, he's DEAD all because of you. Besides, the Roan Kingdom is completely vaporized'
Choi Han, his puppy-like best friend, that he was leisurely talking to about the wolf tribe kids moments ago was now in the midst of life and death–his breaths ragged, his rapidly decreasing body temperature, his eyes threatening to close.
"C-Choi Han! Please stay awake. I'll get a healing potion for you. If I get a healing potion for everyone, everyone will be healed and up again, right?"
'He's going to die even if you get the best healing potion out there. And the dead can't come back to life.'
His children, On, Hong, and Raon, that he was fondly listening to as they conversed about their dream plans moments ago, were now lying on his lap with their bodies unnaturally cold and not a movement coming from them.
"R-raon.. On.. Hong.. Get up. You're still young. You still have many things to experience in life. Many dreams to fulfill"
'They're dead. ALL BECAUSE OF YOU They could've lived if it weren't for your incompetence.'
The vicious Molan duo, Ron and Beacrox, that he was served that cursed lemonade and the delicious food that were out of this world literally and figuratively moments ago, was now lying with their eyes closed with that benign expression gone and stoic expression gone– just a pale blank face that screamed 'dead'.
"R-ron... Beacrox..., you said you'd serve me till the end so get up."
'It's your fault they died early. It's all your fault'
The ancient dragon Eruhaben, his guardian, that he forced to drink from the ancient artifact from the wind island with the intention to prolong the life that already lived past his lifetime moments ago, was now slain–he couldn't even get the peaceful death he wished for.
"E-eruhaben... get up. You said you'd watch over your children. Isn't that why you drank from the ancient artifact?"
'He couldn't even watch over his own children because of you.'
The tower master Rosalyn, the Henituse family, the wolf tribe members, and all the others he held close to his heart and felt responsible for were now all dead in front of him.
"I'm sorry. I promised I'd protect you."
'You can't even keep any of your promises now that they're DEAD.'
After Choi Han took his last breath, he became the last person in the world to be alive and the only one to witness the world's transformation to hell.
"How nostalgic"
'Left behind all alone again all because of your own incompetence'
Their causes of death differed: some died from getting clawed, some died from magic attacks; and those who survived from those attacks, died from the deadly and destructive attack capable of destroying the whole Western Continent. However if all his family members had one thing in common, it's that they died protecting him.
'Did I even deserve their sacrifice?'
'What's the point of living in this desolate world now? But I can't let their sacrifice become a waste.'
With no one alive to comfort him, he drowned in grief, guilt, and self-loathing and used those negative emotions as fuel to keep pushing forward until a monster came to take his life away.
Cale might be a bit out character a bit.
Hope you're having a good day.
