An empty world

POV Dario

Damian was probably gone by that point, consumed by that demonic seed; he didn't even look human anymore at that point. All the efforts we put into trying to stabilize that power had gone to waste.

The seed was the result of a catastrophe we couldn't stop. When an ordinary office worker awakened his powers after he witnessed his broken significant other taking her own life, the seeds carried the emotions, the power, and the soul of that cowardly bastard. It happened so suddenly that there was nothing we could've done to save that planet from that witch.

Once his power awakened, it ended its original planet, consuming everything that was there, be it mana or the inhabitants. When the witch realized what he had done, he decided to seal everything away, including himself, into that small seed.

'We should've refuted that request; it was foolish of us to think we could've made a difference here, and now you're paying the price for our naivety.'
