Fragile Phantasy

Part 21

"I'm not even surprised, is that it?" Max's thirst for power was insatiable, and he consumed every last bit of energy from Magnus's body and the souls of the children he had killed in the past. Magnus withered away, and Max walked away from the scene with his usual callous disregard for the destruction he had caused. To him, it was just another day in the life of the most powerful being in the land.

As Max reached the center of the capital, he stood tall and proud, his eyes glimmering with excitement and ambition. He had overcome every obstacle in his path, and now, the time had come to complete his grand plan "And now for the final phase" he muttered.

With a small stick in his hand, he threw it into the air, and in an instant, it transformed into a magnificent tower acts like a skybeam it fires its lazer reached high into the sky. The power max had gathered around using the watch was immense, and he channeled it all to the tower into creating a portal that would connect this magical world and Earth.

The portal was still small, like a needle, but Max knew it was only a matter of time before it became big enough for his father's armada and fleet to enter. He could feel the energy coursing through his veins, the excitement building within him as he realized that he was about to conquer this world beyond his wildest dreams.

"Only three more hours," he said, his voice suddenly tinged with boredom. He knew he had to wait patiently for the bridge to be completed, but the anticipation was almost too much to bear. He looked up at the portal, his eyes blazing with determination. This was his moment, his chance to make history and become the most powerful man in the universe.

As KC regained his strength he approached Edgar's lifeless body, surrounded by his weeping children. He reached out to hold it, but Adelie stopped him with a fierce expression on her face. "I thought you were our friend, I thought you would be able to protect my brother. Why did you let this happen to him? Why?" she shouted, her grief and anger palpable.

KC bowed his head and burst into tears. Though he wanted to apologize and explain, he couldn't do it, his brain didn't want to work, its speechless with anger his whole body was wrapped in grief and crushing sadness, his mind was blank as if it was numb from suffering. He had failed to protect his friend and mentor, and the weight of that failure crushed him. "I am sorry," he managed to whisper, his voice breaking.

But Adelie pushed him away. "Leave! Just leave," she cried.

Kc feeling lifeless The weight of his grief on his chest became unbearable threatened to consume him, and he knew he couldn't bear it much longer. he felt his resolve crumbling. He couldn't live with the guilt, the shame, the regret. He had failed his friend, failed his family, failed himself.

He reached for his friend's dagger, planning to end his own life and find release from his pain. he plans to kill himself by standing to a cliff of suicide mountain, it's the mountain where adventurers, knights and people whose lives have nothing left kill themselves, because there is a saying that you won't feel pain for the last time when you end your life there, because of the cold and strong wind blowing, that mountain will make you feel cold and numb at everything.

As he walked through the forest, his steps heavy and slow, KC couldn't help but feel like his life had been a series of unfortunate events. It seemed that no matter what he did, he was always met with failure and disappointment.

KC continued his ascent up the mountain, his mind heavy with despair and self-doubt. The rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the scavenger birds that eats the flesh of the dead sounded distant to his ears as he trudged on, his feet dragging like lead.

His thoughts were consumed by the overwhelming feeling of worthlessness and disappointment that had plagued him for years. He had always felt like an outsider, like he didn't belong anywhere. And now after a glimpse of what he can call friends and family, he was unable to protect them.
