    A World of Ashes
    Destiny, Glory, "Victory", Broken, Betrayal, Revival, REVENGE!, rUiN, Ashes.....

    Johnathan was a Hero of his world. Respected, revered, his song sung in every tongue in the world. Children spoke his name and "Hero" with the same meaning. Playwrights turn his story into master pieces. Bards and Authors deified him.
    Yet, that Story was based on a Lie. The Truth would break him. Shatter the "Hero's" heart and souls. And when he was at his lowest and weakest, it would be the hand closest to him that dealt the final blow.
    His mind broken, and all he ever believed in stolen from him, Johnathan swore Revenge. The world had taken everything, so he would do the same.
    Thus the "Hero" became a Demon. Uncaring. Unmerciful. Unstoppable.

    So the world Burned. Burned until all that was left was Ashes and weeping.

    Then, from atop his throne of ash and bone, the Demon that was once a Hero, felt the radiant smile slip from his face. He looked around the ash covered world, forged by his own hands, and for the first time is longer than he could remember, the Madness receded and a single thought crossed his mind.

    "What have I done?"

    Would you finish it? If you are not capable or it becomes difficult for you to finish your story then no. Sometimes I beat my self up for starting Novels here that get dropped or places on hiatus. So if you are going to finish it then I would.

    You burned a whole world to a planet sized charcoal. That's what.

    Also, what the heck would the story continue as?
    The hero turned demon being the lone survivor on the clump of charcoal that used to be call a world?
    What's the reason for anything having survived if all he did was burn it all?

    All you've given is pretty much a bad ending for the entire world including the hero.

    So without any additional information other than the bad end:
    No, I wouldn't read it.

    It wasn't actually all turned to ashes? Then what the hell is he surprised about, he just lit the world on fire around himself until the horizon, wiping out at least one city or country. Nothing too interesting there, he'd just be a face that people could recognise even if he left to somewhere else if his name is so popular.

    Did he actually become human when he was a demon? Did he turn to dust the demon world that had kidnapped him when he was a child? Who knows.

    What will he even do? Mope around regretting his actions? Try rebuilding? Will the survivors know who he is? Are the only survivors his subordinates? How destroyed is the world? Is it survivable? Trees? Animals? How powerful is this guy to have brought the apocalypse? And how did "the world" screw him?

    But then the story isn't about the aftermath but about resolving regrets

    You got style, but the premise is too vague to interest me.
