Chapter 1 - Severed dreams of thhe fallen

My name was Kamino Matsusuke I was 26 before I was killed in an accident and sent to another world by a goddess I had trained to become stronger for the sake of the world and made companions to eventually defeat the demon king saving the world this was the dream I had always wanted to be a hero in my own story but that didn't last the peace that I had made could never last at all.

I stand upon a stage my hands in chains a metal collar around my neck the civilians all looking at me with hate and disgust in their eyes even my own companions who I had trusted look at me in that way the civilians shout and throw stones at me calling me all sorts of false things "murderer!" "Traitor!" "How dare you kill our king you murderer!"

"You sick bastard you burnt down a village and killed the women and children you vile being!"

I listen to their words confusion and fear on my face I wonder with my mind racing "no...no this isn't true i-i didn't do it I didn't do anything why are these accusations being pinned on me?" While the shouts are being said a voice calls out with authority silencing the crowd of angry people the person walking onto the stage.

"Masaki Tanyu for your despicable crimes of such evil you will be put to death by execution"

I turn my head to the side my eyes widening the voice belonging to the queen of this kingdom her purple hair blowing softly in the wind her sharp green eyes stare at me with a hint of satisfaction her small grin stabs at my heart in betrayal I grit my teeth in pure anger I want to shout at her I want to kill her because of that damn grin I know she set me up for all of these accusations.

I feel hands being put at the back of my shoulders slamming me down to my knees i groan in pain from the impact voices call out from both sides of me voices that I know well the voice on my left calls out to me "I can't believe that you would do something like this Masaki we trusted you we were your companions how could you do such evil"

I look to my left and see a man with blue hair and yellow eyes his stare holding disgust and hate just like the others as I call out to him "A-Asano..." But I'm quickly silenced by another voice on my other side "silence you villain you have rights to speak neither to beg for forgiveness for what you have done"

I turn my head tj the other side a woman with black hair and orange eyes stares down at me with the same expression as everyone else "p-please... listen to me...E-Emina"

Her voice calls out again "I told you to be silent! You don't have the right to say my name you disgust me" her voice full of anger and hate I hold my head down it's hopeless to try reason with them my pleas fall onto deaf ears.

The queen's voice calls out "the execution of Masaki Tanyu will now begin for his crimes he shall be sent to the deepest depths of hell for his actions" Emina stands up and draws her sword as Asano puts his hand on my head slamming it to the floor and keeping it in place my eyes become full of tears I mumble out desperately in fear "p-please...i..I don't want to die..s-save me... someone..." My words fall to no one as I stare at the queen my teary eyes full of fear look upon her small grin full of sadistic joy my teeth clench tightly my chest feeling hot with sorrow and anger. The queen calls out one final time "die so that our kingdom and the world may live in ever lasting peace" Emina raises her sword high as the queen signals to end me just as Emina's sword begins it's decent I shout out "Damn you I'll kill yo-!!" My words cut short as the sword severs my head from my body killing me the cheers of the crowd rages higher at the death of the hero who once protected them who had turned to become a villain now dead.
