The red symbol spreading across the boundary of existence resembled an eye carved into a burning sun.Mark Shola watched it from the Central Liquidation Archive while millions of vaults simultaneously sealed themselves. The surviving sentinel stood beside him, motionless beneath its golden mask.“Security response?” Mark asked.“Correction,” the sentinel replied. “Authorial intervention.”The distinction was apparently important.The distincti

The Memory I Buried
Chapter 243:Mark Shola stared at his younger self.The memory had shown him severing his connection to the First Wild voluntarily. But the final words were more disturbing.Whatever you do, don't let me remember why.“What exactly did I do?” Mark demanded.The younger version of him stood beneath the violet sky, one hand resting against the First Wild's enormous head.“You already know.”“No. I have a terrible memory for things that happened before I was born.”The younger Mark smiled sadly.“You always hide behind jokes when you're afraid of the answer.”Mark folded his arms.“Then let's skip the psychological evaluation and get to the useful information.”The First Wild lowered its head.“You promised me something.”Mark looked at the creature.“What?”“That you would never build a world where one creature could own another.”The younger Mark turned toward the distant mountains.“
The Beast That Called Me Master
Chapter 242: “The master has returned.”The words rolled across the ruined landscape, shaking loose stones from the broken mountains.Mark Shola stared at the colossal creature approaching from the horizon.It had no wings, yet it moved above the ground without touching it. Its body resembled a lion carved from black stone, but beneath its surface, stars burned where muscles should have been. Two enormous horns curved backward from its skull, and its eyes glowed with a pale gold light.Every monster around Mark had lowered its head.Every monster except the Obsidian Tyrant.And Mark himself.“Let me clarify something,” Mark said. “I have never met that creature, never hired it, and certainly never signed a contract giving it permission to call me master.”The First Monster's face remained pale.“That will not matter to the First Wild.”“Excellent. A creature with authority issues. Exactly what this situation needed.”
The Monster I Sacrificed
Chapter 240: The heart inside the Original Breeder's chest began to die.One beat.A pause.Another beat.With every weakening pulse, golden threads snapped across the chamber. Mark watched the network destabilize, and the frozen countdown resumed.[CONTRACT COLLAPSE: 00:59]“Of course,” Mark muttered. “We save the monsters, expose the conspiracy, and discover the entire operation depends on a dying heart. This company desperately needs a competent risk-management department.”The Original Breeder staggered.Silver chains erupted from its back, whipping through the air. One struck the platform beside Mark and split the stone in half.The First Monster roared.“Don't let it die!”Mark spun toward the ancient creature. “You just told me that thing was your heart. Why would I trust it?”“Because I know what happens when the heart stops!”“Wonderful. A useful explanation would be even better.”The Fir
When Every Monster Looked at Me
Chapter 241: The heart beat above Mark Shola's palm.THUMP.Across the ruined chamber, the remaining silver chains dissolved into dust.THUMP.Somewhere beyond the broken walls, thousands of monsters roared simultaneously.Mark stared at the tiny silver heart.“I have a question,” he said. “Why does every victory in my life come with a new disaster attached?”Nobody answered.The Obsidian Tyrant approached, its golden eyes fixed on the heart.“Put it down.”Mark raised an eyebrow. “You want me to drop the mysterious, possibly world-ending organ?”“I want you to stop touching things you don't understand.”“That's a reasonable policy. Unfortunately, it would eliminate approximately ninety percent of my career.”The heart pulsed again.[NEW ENTITY: THE UNBOUND]• OWNERSHIP STATUS: NONE• BREEDING STATUS: UNCLASSIFIED• THREAT LEVEL: EVOLVINGMark frowned.“System, define ‘evolvi
The Enemy Wearing My Face
Chapter 239: The creature emerging from the Original Breeding Seed had Mark Shola's face.Same sharp jaw.Same eyes.Same irritatingly familiar expression of someone who believed he had already won the argument.Mark stared at his double.“I knew I should have invested in better security.”The creature stepped out of the shattered sphere. Black armor formed around its body, and silver symbols crawled across its chest.[UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED]• IDENTITY: ORIGINAL BREEDER• THREAT CLASSIFICATION: UNDEFINEDMark pushed himself upright.“System, identify its weaknesses.”[REQUEST DENIED]“Of course. Why would my own operating system help me during a crisis?”The Original Breeder smiled.“Your humor survived every incarnation. I almost admire that.”“Incarnation? You mean the previous versions of me?”“You were never merely my successor, Mark. You were the prison I built for myself.”
The Man Who Inherited His Own Sin
Chapter 238: [ORIGINAL BREEDER:] MARK SHOLAMark stared at the notification.Then he read it again.And a third time.“No.”The crowned figure watched him with quiet satisfaction.Mark shook his head. “Absolutely not. I reject this administrative error. Somebody has confused me with another Mark Shola. It happens. Common name. Terrible filing system.”[IDENTITY CONFIRMED]“Your confidence is admirable,” Mark snapped. “Your evidence is terrible.”[IDENTITY CONFIRMED]“I want to speak to your supervisor.”The First Monster did not laugh.Neither did the crowned figure.That was when Mark realized the joke had failed because nobody in the room considered the revelation amusing.The silver chains around his arms loosened. The chamber changed, revealing thousands of floating images: battles, ruined cities, ancient monsters, and contracts written in languages older than the System itself.At the ce
