Chapter 37: Guilt
Leon was overwhelmed by emotions. Every single death affected his mental health as the pain was simply too unbearable. Every single time he woke up, he questioned his existence and the purpose of his life.
Then, the separation from Silver came, and it hit his mental health even harder. He couldn’t be at peace knowing that she was fighting for her life out there in a place where even Demi-Gods perished.
His mental health was in shambles, yet he was picking himself up, trying to fight his way through the hardships with a smile on his face.
He was just a normal human being before coming to this world. He wasn’t supposed to endure all of this. So many people would have given up, but he wasn’t giving up.
All because there were some people he cared deeply about, and he didn’t want to leave them behind.
But deep down, he also felt there was another reason he was working so hard and pushing himself despite his terrible mental health. It was because he felt guilty.
Yes, deep down in his heart, he felt guilty for all the deaths and hardships of people. He was the one who developed this world. He was the one who made people’s lives a living hell.
He was the reason so many people died, and so many were still suffering every single second of every single day. He truly felt that it was his fault.
Even if he wasn’t the one who brought the world into reality, it was still him who made it and brought the sufferings to people.
He created them. He wrote their lives.
