HOPE

Liam sat by the throne, feeling devastated, like someone who had completely lost the will to continue living. His body remained still while his eyes stared blankly at the destruction below, watching more and more casualties die without showing even the slightest reaction.

There was no anger left in him, nor was there fear or desperation. The emotions that had once made him care about his creations seemed to have been drained away, leaving behind nothing but an unbearable emptiness as the consequences of his choices continued unfolding before him.

"This is the end."

The words left his mouth quietly, almost like a whisper meant only for himself. Liam no longer had the strength to deny what he was seeing, because every destroyed city, every dead creation, and every desperate cry below him served as proof that his world had reached its final moments.

"WAHH... WAHHH..."

A sudden cry echoed through the ruined surroundings.
