Have you ever judged someone for being in a perilous situation that was totally avoidable and definitely their own fault?
That was me in my past life every single time the protagonist made a stupid decision in the game.
I used to scoff and say, "If I were in his place, I'd never have gotten caught up in that mess. I'd have been smarter."
Well… so much for that.
Because now, I was in the exact same situation as him.
A situation that was entirely avoidable — and definitely my own fault.
"Fuck!" I cursed again.
From where I stood, the infernal explosions blooming across the distance looked like miniature suns clawing their way up from the western horizon.
Darkness was banished by the false dawn.
The night had ended.
Everything was suddenly so bright.
So violently bright that my eyes throbbed.
I winced, blinking against the harsh light, and took in my surroundings — now bathed in the searing glow of hellfire.
