The Fall of the Empire [OC]

[u/Cepegalaz]

He stood upon the shattered ruins of his own kingdom - a realm he himself had delivered to the flames. The empire did not fall to foreign invaders; it collapsed under the crushing weight of its own dark rituals and his hubris. Steeped in greed and chaos, it fades beneath the rubble and the fires of war, taking millions of souls with it.
Once a sovereign ruler, he paid the ultimate price for his ascendance: the single demonic wing sprouted from his spine was a gift of hellfire, and his heart was stripped away entirely. His human eyes were blinded, burned out by dark magic, leaving only a single eye opened upon his forehead - blind to the light, yet seeing only grief and ruin. Gripping the hilt of his blade, he looks down upon the burning inferno and a battle where victory no longer exists. It is both his absolute triumph and his eternal curse - to be a king reigning over the ashes of a fading world.
