I Became the Narrow-Eyed Character in the Little Prince Game

The Death Dragon.

In the original story, it was explicitly described as "The First Calamity."

A boss that stood among the most tragic trials, driving countless supporting characters to their deaths. It truly embodied the concept of "death."

Even Galimar Academy, a massive institution rivaling a small city in scale, stood no chance against its wings of calamity.

The peaceful, serene scenery was trampled into ruin without resistance.

The story spiraled into despair, leaving an impression so intense that players often talked about it.

The sheer hopelessness was unforgettable.

[Title: Looking Back at the Death Dragon Episode]

It was literally the definition of despair.
All the reliable supporting characters kept dying off.
I wasn’t even sure if defeating it was possible.
Meanwhile, they kept showing the collapsing academy buildings—it was overwhelmingly bleak.

Even through the monitor, you could almost smell the blood.
Seeing familiar faces as corpses scattered everywhere gave me a weird feeling.

And when the protagonist's party broke down crying at the end, it was heart-wrenching.
This is the one episode I could never replay.

[Yeah, it’s so heavy that I can’t bring myself to replay it.]
→ Each character’s death was just too tragic.

[The headmaster was so incompetent, he deserved to die.]
→ He’s getting roasted again today… classic JOAT.
→ This guy always gets dragged whenever story discussions come up.
→ WWE-level drama as usual.

[This episode left no hope.]
→ It felt like even the last shred of the academy’s vibe was crushed.
→ Even after beating the boss, it just left you feeling hollow.

An episode filled only with scars.

All that remained after the calamity were the ripped-out roots of budding lives.

It was like wandering through a nightmare for the entire episode.

[Title: Why the Death Dragon Episode Stood Out So Much]

I think the deaths of the faculty were the biggest factor.
At the start, they were such dependable allies.

They helped you out of trouble, gave advice on abilities, and built meaningful bonds.
And then those pillars of support were mercilessly slaughtered.

It was impossible for the protagonist or players not to break down.
All the allies you relied on were wiped out.

On the other hand,
that desperation was also memorable.
It felt like the fate of the world truly rested on the protagonist’s shoulders now.
The struggle in the midst of despair really stuck with me.

[Final Thoughts]
[No matter what, it was a well-crafted episode.]
→ Personally, I liked it.
→ For fans of tragic, harrowing stories, it’s a masterpiece.

[The Death Dragon was absurdly strong for a mid-game boss.]
→ The faculty barely managed to defeat it with their last strength. If they’d failed, entire nations might’ve been wiped out.
→ Seriously, this was Galimar Academy, where the continent’s elites gathered, and it still ended like that.

[Only about 30% of the faculty survived, and that was shocking.]
→ If it had appeared in a regular region instead of the academy, the death toll would’ve easily hit 100,000.
→ The professors were insanely competent, though.
→ Honestly, the fact that student casualties stayed under 100 was a miracle.
→ There’s a reason the professors are so respected.

Calamity or Death.

I was now face to face with the creature embodying all those words.

Looking up, its colossal form filled my vision.
