A fantasy article that's definitely not cringe.

The shouts in this world of Mindestia are getting louder. I can hear the incessant nonstop protest echoing its way through the entire world to my castle. It seems that a bunch of Emotionists are running wild again, disturbing the peace of my empire.
They keep shouting: "We need warmth! We're all freezing to death here! We need to hunt and get some cute girls! Cute girls! Cute girls! Cute girls!"
Stupid ducking boomers. We are all extremely busy here formulating important theories and systems, and all they want to do is feed into their temptations?
Usually, I just have to order a public execution on a few of them to get them to stop, but they have been so much more stubborn lately, even causing so much riots and chaos in this place.
I have no need for these geezers, they can all die to dehydration and cold for all they want. But the problem is, they don't seem to be dying as time goes on, they just shout even louder and become crazier.
I have proved time and time again that I do not need warmth nor cute girls to survive. All that matters in my life is my dreams and theories. I'll become like Isaac Newton or Jean Paul Sartre who didn't pay attention to any of them, focusing only on their research.
Yet these duckers keep on disturbing my peace. How am I supposed to deal with them? How am I supposed to stop their annoying protests once and for all? I don't have any time for this.
Guys they're still not doing anything despite our protests, what should we do? The temperatures are dropping to absurdly low levels, we're all going to die!
Calm down, if they aren't going to pay attention to us, then we'll have to unleash that thing. Let's see if they can still ignore us when that happens.
W-wait, we're seriously going to release t-that thing? We can't do that! Not even us can control it! It's still too dangerous. Let's wait a little more and see if they change their decision.
I know, but we have no choice. The skies are already breaking apart. It won't be long until this world gets completely destroyed if we just keep waiting. It's better for us to die fighting for our life than to wait for our deaths.
Just how did it end up like this? We just wanted to live in peace and coexist with the empire of Rationality. I still can't believe we have to resort to this. I wish everyone just get along together.
I'm sure we all knew that this day is going to come. As long as the empire doesn't heed our needs, this is inevitable. There's no need for us to be part of the empire anymore as this world breaks into pieces.
And it is our duty as citizens of this world to protect our world even if the empire doesn't do anything about it.
Prepare to release that thing tomorrow. We are going to war.
With scales sharper than a knife covering my entire body, a pair of demonic wings behind my back, and the broken horns on my forehead that gives me so much pain every single day. Yes, this is my body. A body that everyone hated so much that they have to seal me in this place.
Just how long have I been sealed in this place? Most of my memories have all faded away except these two: the memory when I was getting sealed and the distant memory where a maiden used to come in here and give me water to drink. Who knows what happened to that maiden now.
I have been sealed in here for as long as I can remember. Yet for some reason, I feel as if the effect of the seal has been weakening. There's only one possible reason that this can happen: this world is breaking apart. It won't be long before this world falls apart including this seal.
I always knew this would happen someday. How do I know? Well it's just a guess. I probably knew the reason before, but now that most of my memories has faded away, I have forgotten why.
I don't even remember who am I.
All I know is that so much people were so scared of me and hated me that they sealed me in this place.
Man, it's been a while since I drank some water. If only that maiden was here, I could drink some water everyday. I'm feeling a little thirsty, as if I could drink an entire well.
Not that it matters, I'll probably perish along with this world anyway, but maybe I'll see the sunlight for a few seconds when this seal finally breaks. I just gotta wait for it til then.
