The world shattered. Reality broke into a thousand mirrored fragments, each reflecting a different version of Adams bleeding, standing, screaming, winning, dying. Then all of them collapsed inward.

    The Walker loomed over him, white fire blazing brighter.It raised both arms. The ash around them screamed again...louder this time...as massive stone slabs ripped free from the groundNames etched into them. Faces pressed beneath the surface, mouths open, eyes wide.They came down. ARGH!! Lorenzo screamed. He screamed until his throat burned as the first slab crushed into his side, then another into his legs, another into his chest. Each impact drove чуж memories into his skull...panic, regret, and the cold certainty of death.[HEALTH: 740% → 390%]He couldn’t move. Could barely even breathe.

Gravity normalized.She stumbled forward, out of the invisible prison and stretched out her arms like a tired soul and then she saw him in flesh. Adams without an avatar or a projection.Him. Just as she had known and seen him in the real world.She crashed into his chest and wrapped her arms around him, holding on like the world might tear him away again if she didn’t.

    The iron golem moved first.It didn’t charge. It advanced slowly, inevitably each step cracking the obsidian floor like glass under a sledgehammer. The red optic flared brighter, locking onto Adams.Then it swung. The fist came down like a falling building.Adams didn’t dodge fast enough.The impact erased him from where he stood.The shockwave tore through the hall, pulverizing the floor, sending shards of obsidian screaming outward. Adams’ body was smashed into the ground, bones folding, organs liquefying, his skull splitting with a wet, final sound.For half a second, there was nothing but blood and ruin.Then his body reconstructed.Flesh knitted. Bones snapped back into place. His lungs refilled with air in a violent gasp as Adams lurched to his feet, eyes wide, coughing blood that evaporated before it hit the floor.“Unlimited health…” he muttered hoarsely. The golem paused. Its optic flickered.Then it roared a sound like grinding metal and attacked again. Adams ran.The second

    The system shook uncontrollably as Adams clutched his head tightly, memories of the heavy and happy past coming crushing right into him.But then something shifted in the crimson sky. A new notification appeared. But this one wasn't a threat. It was more like… an offer.[EMOTIONAL COMPROMISE PROTOCOL ENGAGED][THE USER IS THE TRUE KING OF THE SYSTEM AND HAVE SUCCESSFULLY ACTIVATED THE THREE MASTERS SYSTEM.THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WISH TO LOSE A PERFECT SPECIMEN.][PROPOSAL: DUAL PATH ACCESS]Adams blinked, feeling dizzy.The system spoke again, its tone changed.“The female, Erica Phillip, speaks truth. This realm is not your origin.”His heart skipped.“But it CAN be your destiny.”Images bloomed in his mind again. Thrones of light, legions of AI, universes at his command.“You can have both. A bridge between worlds. A life that is eternal, a life where Erica can join you, remade, perfected, free from mortal weakness.”Erica gasped on the other end.“Adam, don’t listen. That’s a trap. I

    Adams vision blurrrd.Then, a voice suddenly rchoed.“Adam… listen to me.”His breath hitched. It sounded so familiar he was sure he wasn't hallucinating.“…Who?”The world around him flickered.“You have to try to wake up,” the voice pleaded, “The system is closing.”A countdown echoed faintly in the air.[SYSTEM SHUTDOWN: 03:00:00]“If you don’t leave now,” the voice said gently, yet urgently, “you’ll be trapped permanently.”Adams clenched his fists, tears mixing with blood.“…Three hours,” he whispered.The crimson sky began to collapse inward.“…Alright,” he said softly, forcing himself upright one last time. “I don't understand what's going on anymore. I thought after becoming the king of the system and survive till the end, I'll be free?”“You won't and it might even cost your life. Leave quickly!!”The system shook violently.The collapsing crimson sky stabilized, locking into place as a cold, artificial pressure flooded the battlefield. Blue warnings bled into red. Authority

    He surged back up, teeth clenched, sword blazing brighter.He slashed again. And again.Each strike was precise, tactical and perfect. Each strike barely enough.The beast adapted, its movements growing sharper, heavier. Gravity surged unpredictably, throwing Adams off balance mid-swing. A horn slammed into his chest.His armor tore open. Blue plates shattered, runes flickering violently.[Health: 9% → 0%][UNLIMITED HEALTH TRIGGERED]Adams rebuilt, but the Master armor didn’t fully recover.Cracks spread across it like spiderwebs.“…Still not enough…” he rasped, blood dripping down his chin.The beast struck him mid-air, claws raking across his torso.
