"Aghhhhhhhh!!!". A scream that pierced the sky rang out. The sound was filled with despair, pain, agony,...and regret.
A young boy with pale skin and messy black hair was writhing on the floor. The boy's hoarse scream sounded as if he had just experienced an extremely painful death.
He screamed until his voice could no longer be heard. His thin body was shaking violently like the last leaf struggling against the cold wind. He curled up, his two hands clutching his own biceps so tightly that the skin was peeling off. His eyes were bloodshot, looking extremely ferocious.
He stayed like that for a while and then passed out from exhaustion.

"Ugh...". My head hurts so badly, it's like being hit by a hammer.
Blurry images surged into my mind, overwhelming me like a tidal wave. It was a nightmare so vivid, it felt like reality. No, it was a memory of my "past life"
"Fuck!". I cursed out loud in anger, my hand hitting the floor hard.
A sharp pain shot through my fist, jolting me back to reality.
"Did I really die like that?"
Vague memories of my death in the final battle, the battle I thought Karen would win. And I'm also certain that the world was destroyed right after the Demon King snapped his fingers.
A one-sided battle with the Demon King's overwhelming power...
'Demon King...'. I remembered that moment, the only moment that I would never forget in my entire life, the moment when everything around me was engulfed in flames. I was also burned alive in that destructive fire.
The feeling of that fire licking my skin and spreading endlessly throughout my body. Something that I could not extinguish with all my efforts. I witnessed myself dying in the sea of fire with the utmost agony. The burning sensation still exists very clearly in my memory.
I looked down at my body, the image of my body covered in bright red burns with no intact skin left, blood continuously flowing over my current body. My pupils shrank like a needle hole. My whole body trembled uncontrollably, cold sweat pouring out like a shower. My mind at this moment was like a crumpled piece of paper, I could not think clearly at all. My body and soul were in a mess at this moment.
My breathing became more and more rapid as I recalled that moment. My heart was also beating at an extremely fast speed. The veins in some places on my body began to appear on my already pale skin, looking extremely scary.

It took me a long time to regain some composure, I dragged my still trembling body into the bathroom. Poured a bucket of cold water over my head to cool down my negative thoughts. Only now, my thoughts became a little clearer.
My eyes accidentally fell on the mirror, reflecting on it was the image of a pale face with bloodshot eyes. Messy hair like a straw nest. Arms with numerous wounds. At this moment, I was like a homeless person who had been beaten on the street.
"Ah..."
As my eyes scanned the wounds, my hands started to quiver uncontrollably. I gently placed my pallid hands over the lacerations. The eerie correspondence between the shape of my hands and the claw marks caused my heart to miss a beat.
"Did I do this?" I muttered, my eyes staring blankly at my own arm.
...
"Ha ha...". I let out a hoarse laugh.
