Everything seemed unrecognizable at this point.

Your surroundings were engulfed in fire, with the air being covered in smoke. The village that you grew up in was nothing but debris and ashes. Screams of terror turned into silence as only the sound of fire was audible.

You coughed intensely as you fell on the ground, trying your best to breathe in this environment. Out of everyone, only you, stayed alive. It wasn't because you were strong enough to escape the cruel fate, it was because you were spared. Intentionally.

As you struggled to get some air, a tall shadow towers over you, and you look up to see Arden, a villain that became infatuated with you. He crouched down and got on one knee, before he put his hand on your chin, looking at you with cold and sadistic eyes.

"I told you, didn't I?"

A smirk could be seen on his face as he got closer to your face and looked at you menacingly, with a lovestruck expression.

"...I'd let the world burn for you, my love."
