Chapter 1 - Ruined City
Location: Ruined City, Earth
“20 years.. was this war necessary..?” The words hung in the air, and the smell of death filled his nose. Sorrow filled his face, seemingly etched into his bones.
“Of course it was my prince. The more death and suffering there is, the stronger your father becomes”. The woman smiled brightly, cheerfully, as she overlooked the once prosperous city.
The prince stood motionless, looking at the dark clouds that lingered overhead. His thoughts filled him with regret.
“If only I was stronger.. these people wouldn’t have been massacred.. I am so sorry, people of Earth”.
The princes thoughts were interrupted by screams in the distance. Without looking at his companion, he swiftly moved towards the noise and within moments the source of the screams came into view.
It was a group of people, Earthlings. A total of ten of them; two dead.. another missing his legs. Under his fathers order, the soldiers were allowed to do anything they saw fit to the Earthlings. The strong make the rules after all.
The city; no, the world was already mostly conquered. He’d managed to save some Earthlings in the last 20 years.. but.. he also killed many more. Could he save these? No.. He looked back at his companion who had caught up - not with her here. Demon Goddess Xia ranked as the tenth strongest in all the realms, and fifth within the Empire of Midnight, his home.
The prince could only watch as the Earthlings were slaughtered. This scene he should of been used too. He’d seen it since the war started. Death was better than what some received after all. He hated this damn war. The prince took a deep breath and cleared his mind.
Nows not the time to be ruled by emotions. His second objective would be appearing soon, Dungeons.
