Chapter 177: Huh?
Kyle's heart hammered in his chest as he stared at the monster he'd just punched. It wasn't dead—not yet. The scaly beast shook its head, dazed, then let out a guttural roar that made his stomach twist.Sure, he'd absorbed something from that dead monster corpse, and yeah, he felt stronger than ever, but this thing? It was still terrifying. Its claws glinted in the light, and its jagged teeth snapped at the air.This wasn't a video game. This was real, and Kyle was *not* ready."Crap, crap, crap," he muttered, stumbling back. His newfound strength buzzed in his limbs, but his brain hadn't caught up. The monster lunged, swiping a claw at his chest.He dodged—barely—but the tip sliced through his hoodie and grazed his skin, leaving a stinging red line. "Ow! Son of a—" He swung his fist again, aiming for its head. The punch connected, a wet crack echoing as the monster's jaw twisted sideways.It staggered, but Kyle's confidence faltered when it roared again, louder, angrier. He wasn't a
Chapter 176: New Beginning
"Um, Kyle are you gonna eat that sandwich or just stare at it like it's gonna confess it's love to you?" Natalie's voice snapped him out of his thoughts.He blinked and looked across the rickety table at his best friend. Natalie was short, loud, and had a wild mop of dyed purple hair that she swore made her look "intimidating."It didn't.She was munching on a bag of chips, her combat boots kicked up on a chair in their tiny apartment. The place was a dump—peeling wallpaper, a flickering lightbulb, and a window with a crack that let in more cold air than light. But it was home."I'm eating, I'm eating," he mumbled, taking a bite of his peanut butter sandwich. "Just thinking.""About what? How you're gonna absorb the sandwich's feelings?" She grinned, tossing a chip at him. It bounced off his forehead."Ha, hilarious," he said, brushing crumbs off his hoodie. "No, just... you know, life. The Portals. Monsters. The usual.""You sound like my grandma. 'Oh, the world's gone to heck!' Rela

Epilogue: A Perfect Yesterday
The being of light, The One Above All, regarded him with an expression that held the patience of expanding galaxies. “It is you,” Kyle breathed out, the pieces of a cosmic puzzle finally locking into place. “I knew something was off. You’ve been with me all along? In my visions, too…” “Yes,” her voice was the soft hum of a universe in harmony. “I have been with you, to guide you from the precipice of mistakes you could not come back from. You are my perfect creation. My final, best answer to the darkness.” Kyle’s shoulders slumped, the weight of his victory feeling more like an anchor than a crown. “What now? I’ve defeated evil, but at what cost? Everything is destroyed. I’ve lost more than enough… I still feel so empty.” The faces of Johnny and Axel flashed in his mind, their absence a fresh wound. She stared into the core of his being. “You have brought a necessary balance to the cosmos. Your task is complete. You can come with me, be my consort, and watch over crea
Chapter 175: The Awakening
The silence after the explosion was heavier than the battle itself. Kyle stood, his body trembling with a fatigue that went deeper than bone, down to the very spark of his soul. The golden light had faded, leaving him a solitary figure in a world of glass and ash. The rising sun, a defiant orange ember in a smoke choked sky, cast long, distorted shadows across the corpse of the city. He had done it. The One Below All was gone. The thought brought no triumph, only a hollow, aching void where his friends used to be. A ragged cough broke the stillness. A few yards away, a figure stirred amidst the debris. Derek West, somehow clinging to a shred of life after being torn from the entity, was crawling, his expensive suit in tatters, his body broken. He saw Kyle and a pathetic, desperate hope flared in his eyes. He dragged himself to Kyle’s feet, clutching at his ankles with bloody hands. “Kyle… please,” he gasped, each word a wet, bubbling struggle. “Mercy. I’m… I’m sor
Chapter 174: A Final, Defiant Light
The world was ending. The taste of dirt and blood was a final, gritty sacrament. The sphere of anti life gathered above, a pinprick of absolute negation poised to erase him from existence. The weight of a planet was upon him, the weight of failure, the weight of every life lost. No. The thought was not a whisper, but a crack of thunder in the silent depths of his soul. This… this cannot end here. It began as a tremor in his shattered hand. Then a spark, a single, defiant fleck of gold against the overwhelming blackness. With a roar that tore from the very core of his being, Kyle pushed. Not just with his body, but with his spirit, his grief, his love for his friends, his duty to his sister, his rage at the injustice of it all. “DEREKKKKKKKKK!” The name was a weapon, a challenge hurled up through hundreds of feet of solid rock. It was a rejection of the herald, the man who had orchestrated this nightmare. Above, The One Below All paused, the sphere of energy flickering. Sh
