Summary
The cost had been too great.
When he had sealed that door, he knew the toll it would take on his mind, body, and soul. And he deserved it. He had committed genocide against his own children, had forced a most horrible fate upon his “favored” one, and in the end it had all been for naught.
His failure was absolute. He deserved nothing but an execution for his terrible misdeeds...But when an impossible event gives him a second chance?
He knows he does not deserve it, and he doubts that he won’t squander it. But alas, he dares to dream...
alt: A depressed (but very much alive) wyrm is taken back to before the infection had started, and when the Abyss hadn't yet seen a single stillborn thrown into its depths. Can he set things right with a second chance thrown his way?
