Third Person's POV
Niall sees it everyday, everything is a repetition of the day before, or well, the same day.
He sees a curly headed lad falling into ruins. He sees him when he drags a menacing tool across his previously spotless porcelain skin, when he cries blood and tears, when he struggles to clean what he ruined from himself, when he sits alone and his demons haunt him. He sees him when he's broken, everyday. When Niall tried to so as much as to reach a hand out to him, he'd get burned. A feeling that rises from the pit of his stomach to his throat, and it's sheer hot pain; Niall retracts from what he oh so desperately wanted to do, help Harry, help his boyfriend.
He sees himself screaming profanities at a still hooded figure. He sees himself spitting gruesome words that would surely bruise a soul for an eternity. He sees himself slap and kick the hazy figure. When the adrenaline and craziness is pumped out of his body, the figure slowly clears, and it's Harry, his broken boyfriend.
Niall doesn't know why he's seeing this, why does he have to see it again, he already memorized it. When it's Harry's part of the scenario, he feels Harry's pain, and it's so intense, he just wants whatever's going on with him to stop.
When he's in his own part, the amount of self-hate one can have intensifies by a whole new level. How can he do this to Harry, how? Or more importantly, why?
He doesn't know.
When Niall couldn't take what he called his other side, he did the first thing that came to his tormented mind.
,
.
And for the last part in Niall's twisted show, he saw it. He agonizingly watched it happen. When he thought he could take the burning pain and try and reach out to Harry, he was mistaken. It was literally fire that stopped him, and he couldn't bypass fire. He saw how he prepared the rope, how he tightened the loop that was suspended from the ceiling. How he stood on a wooden stool, placed his head in the circular part of the rope, and stoically, let go.

Niall, still scarred by what he witnessed, was too afraid to go and see if it really happened. He hoped it hadn't, that he was just dreaming.
To his horror, it did. Harry was dead.
Like today, everything fell in ruins.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
