I really created a short story of that.
December 9, 2021
It's your average day in modern society where many young ones left the world due to having a hard time in school.
Henry Morningstar is not of them. he is still alive and well yet when someone sees his arms filled with injuries they will be in shock.
Henry lives a life of wealth and power held by his Family, The Morningstar. his family was born in poverty but due to his great Grandfather, they became wealthy for some legal reason. but even he have wealth, he had no chance of having real friends.
in the past Henry thought he found someone to be friends with to yet months later he realized they were after his money. he was so mad but he didn't take action and just left it.
His family works day and night not having time to bond with their Son. all day he just studies and play games but overall he always plays games.
Studying seems to be naught when already extremely rich but still during rest he study if he wants to.
It is night time Henry went outside "I'm gonna head out with my friends," Henry said to his parents that night. His parents assume he will go to the Bar or party so they let him do his things not knowing he went to a Night Cafe.
removing his stylish clothes, he became a proper boy who seems against doing bad stuff. carrying his laptop and ordering a coffee, his life became peacefully alone. the Cafe is not really elegant or expensive like Starbucks but a small new business just opened a few months back.
In the beginning, it was not good so Henry invest some pocket money making the cafe bloom with business. they were thankful that day and serve him when he comes by.
already twelve midnight as he exits the Cafe still has people. Henry walks to the midnight streets where many young teenagers let out their desires that even partners can be seen eloping near the alleyways.
Rolling his eyes he kept walking to go back home. he didn't bring his motorcycle and have no plan to use it, Henry was just minding his own business when suddenly felt a hard object behind his back. his eyes widen "Shit that's a gun..." he whispers.
"Hand over your Keys!" Henry heard him and look around and saw a sports car, looking to his clothes with the same pattern he bitterly sighs "I, I don't own that car..." A shot is heard making Henry fall to the ground.
The robber searched the bag and only found a few cash and its laptop yet it didn't find the keys as it curses and grab the laptop and runoff.
Henry who saw it slowly lose consciousness until he died for a minute after the intense pain he felt. it was a surprise not a person passed by and the streets are empty that night.

"AGHH!" A cry erupted that is neither scary nor deep.
"Oh, the baby is awake!" A woman wearing a maid outfit said as she hurried outside the door.
Henry is aware of his surrounding and realizes his situation 'Shit' what he thought knowing this will be a very uncomfortable experience.
Years passed by and Henry grew very well. in the Mansion, maids, butlers, soldiers, and even nobles know Henry's weird personality where everything needed to be clean. even the people who enter needed to wash their hands, such a waste of clean water.
Many despise his ways but he is the Emperor's favorite Son so no one dares to disagree.
There is one time that a banquet happened to celebrate the Emperor's birth and many Kings of different kingdoms arrived with their children. all wore stunning outfits that is colorful but Henry wore a different one. He wore all black and it gave superiority due to his posture and cold face while wearing a glove.
"Greetings Prince Henry!" a Princess of another Kingdom wanted to greet him but just bowed down when he saw her hands 'She has chickenpox...' Henry would not act like this but medicine, a real medicine instead of things that will make it worst. In this era, a cold can be fatal, pills are rare or still do not exist in this year so Henry decided to be extra cautious, especially in eating food.
Seeing the way he shows formalities was rather disrespectful but they hide their dissatisfaction.
Henry was bored and have not to like to eat the food gifted by the other Kingdom. seeing how un-cook and can even lead to food poisoning, he was surprised at how strong is the humans in resisting poisoning every day.
but when he heard a talk about desolate land that no one want to own due to being beside the mountains and no life can be born of, Henry finally let out a smile. he knows the place, it was the only surviving ancient ruins back in the modern world. no amount of pressure or natural events can attack the place.
He decided to own it.
The End.
