2026-07-31 06:40:44Everything happened in a flash.
The truck’s horn echoed through the rain.
Ethan wanted to move.
He wanted to run.
But his legs refused to listen.
Bang!
The truck slammed into him.
His body was thrown high into the air before crashing onto the wet road.
The sound of people screaming filled the street.
“Oh my God!”
“Someone call an ambulance!”
“He’s been hit!”
Ethan lay motionless in the rain.
Blood slowly spread beneath him.
His vision became blurry.
The cold rain landed on his face, but he could no longer feel it.
His breathing grew weaker.
He forced himself to look toward the road.
The black sports car carrying Chloe and Ryan had stopped at the traffic light.
For one second…
He thought Chloe would get out.
He thought she would run to him.
Instead, the traffic light turned green.
The sports car drove away.
She never looked back.
A tear rolled down Ethan’s cheek.
“So…”
“It really meant nothing.”
His eyes slowly closed.
Darkness swallowed everything.
…
No sound.
No light.
Nothing.
Ethan felt like he was floating in an endless void.
He couldn’t tell if seconds or years had passed.
Then…
A cold mechanical voice echoed through the darkness.
[Scanning Host…]
[Life Signs: Lost.]
[Checking Compatibility…]
Ethan frowned.
“What…?”
The voice continued.
[Compatibility: 100%]
[Infinite Wealth System Selected.]
A bright blue light suddenly appeared in front of him.
It grew larger and larger until it filled the darkness.
Countless strange symbols floated around him.
Ethan looked around in shock.
“Where am I?”
No one answered.
Only the cold voice remained.
[Binding System…]
10%…
30%…
60%…
90%…
100%.
[Binding Successful.]
A blue screen appeared before Ethan.
INFINITE WEALTH SYSTEM
Host: Ethan Cole
Status: Bound
Ethan stared at the screen.
His heart raced.
“What is this?”
The system finally replied.
[The Infinite Wealth System exists to create the greatest businessman in the world.]
Ethan looked confused.
“A businessman?”
[Correct.]
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
“I’m just a delivery rider.”
[That was your past.]
[Your future depends on your choices.]
The blue screen changed again.
Host Information
Name: Ethan Cole
Age: 25
Occupation: Delivery Rider
Assets: $18.42
Health: Deceased
Ethan forced a bitter smile.
“At least that’s accurate.”
The screen disappeared for a moment before another message appeared.
[Host has suffered betrayal.]
[Host has experienced humiliation.]
[Host died with deep regret.]
[Conditions fulfilled.]
A new notification appeared.
Would you like another chance?
Ethan froze.
“Another chance?”
His breathing became faster.
“Can… can I really go back?”
[Yes.]
“Can I change everything?”
[Yes.]
His fists slowly tightened.
Ryan’s mocking smile flashed through his mind.
Chloe’s cold expression.
The broken ring.
The laughter.
The humiliation.
The truck.
His eyes turned cold.
“If I go back…”
“I won’t live the same life again.”
“I won’t let anyone walk over me.”
“I won’t trust people so easily.”
“And those who hurt me…”
“They’ll regret it.”
The system responded immediately.
[Answer Accepted.]
[Preparing Rebirth.]
The darkness around him began to shake violently.
Bright light covered everything.
Ethan felt like he was falling from the sky.
His heartbeat became faster.
His ears rang.
Then…
Everything suddenly became quiet.
…
“Ethan!”
A familiar voice called his name.
“Ethan!”
“Wake up!”
Someone shook his shoulder.
Ethan suddenly opened his eyes.
He sat up so quickly that he almost fell off the bed.
“Haa…”
“Haa…”
He looked around the room.
The cracked ceiling.
The old fan.
The tiny apartment.
His breathing stopped.
“This…”
He knew this room.
It was the apartment he had rented five years ago.
“No…”
He jumped off the bed and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall.
April 17.
The year beneath it made his eyes widen.
It was five years ago.
His hands started shaking.
“I…”
“I really came back.”
Just then, the phone on the small table began to ring.
The caller ID appeared on the screen.
Chloe ❤️
Ethan stared at the name.
His face slowly became expressionless.
At that exact moment, the familiar mechanical voice echoed inside his head once more.
[Welcome back, Host.]
[The Infinite Wealth System has officially activated.]

Chapter 109: Legacy Reawakened
The blue screen flickered.It was unstable.Unlike the flawless interface Ethan had relied on throughout his journey, this one was fractured.Tiny cracks spread across its edges as though the system itself had suffered tremendous damage.The familiar mechanical voice spoke again.It was weaker than Ethan remembered.Yet…He smiled.After everything that had happened…It still sounded like home.Legacy System…Emergency Restoration… 7% Complete…Warning… Core functions unavailable…Reason… Legacy sacrificed during the Final Convergence…Ethan’s heart pounded.“So…”“You survived.”The screen remained silent for a moment.Then…A new sentence appeared.Correction…This unit did not survive.This unit… was remembered.The words struck him harder than any attack ever could.Remembered.Not rebuilt.Not repaired.Remembered.The blue screen slowly continued.Human belief…Shared memories…Legacy fragments carried within countless lives…Emergency reconstruction successful.Ethan finally un
Chapter 108: The Sky Breaker
The crack spread across the blue sky.It didn’t happen all at once.Thin fractures crawled outward like veins across glass, stretching from one horizon to the other.Each new crack released a faint silver light.The peaceful meadow beneath Ethan’s feet trembled.Birds that had been singing moments before suddenly took flight.The gentle breeze vanished.An unnatural silence swallowed the world.Ren’s small hand instinctively reached for Ethan’s.His fingers were trembling.“They found us.”Ethan looked down.“Who?”Ren swallowed.“The ones who don’t want us remembered.”Another deafening roar echoed overhead.This time…It was closer.The sky shattered a little more.Chunks of blue light drifted downward before dissolving into countless glowing particles.Ethan had seen worlds collapse before.He had watched stars disappear.Yet…There was something uniquely terrifying about watching the sky itself come apart.Not because it looked destructive.Because it looked…Wrong.Like reality w
Chapter 107: The First Face
Every step echoed inside Ethan’s helmet.Crunch.Crunch.Crunch.The lunar dust compressed beneath his boots as he followed the countless footprints stretching toward the enormous black doorway.Mission Control remained connected through his communicator.“Ethan, your oxygen levels are stable.”“Heart rate elevated, but within acceptable limits.”Dr. Brooks’ calm voice filled the silence.Professor Orion spoke next.“Distance to the structure: four hundred meters.”“Proceed carefully.”“I will.”Ethan answered.He never took his eyes off the doorway.The closer he came…The larger it became.From orbit it had looked massive.Standing beneath it…It was overwhelming.It rose into the endless darkness above him like a mountain carved from midnight.Its surface reflected nothing.Not sunlight.Not stars.Not even Ethan himself.It was as though the doorway refused to acknowledge reality.Back on Earth…Sophia stood inside Mission Control.Her hands remained folded tightly together.She h
Chapter 106: The Man Who Walked Through Silence
By sunrise…Ethan had made his decision.He would go.Not because he trusted the beings beyond the black doorway.Not because he believed they meant no harm.But because he had seen something in the message that no one else seemed willing to acknowledge.They had asked.Twice.First…May we speak?Then…One may come.An enemy didn’t ask permission.An enemy simply invaded.Whatever waited beyond that door…It wanted to be heard.Whether that was a blessing or a trap…Only one way existed to find out.The launch facility came alive before dawn.Floodlights illuminated the enormous launch pad while engineers hurried around the silver shuttle.Unlike the bulky spacecraft used during the early years of space exploration…This one had been built after the Seven Days.Human technology had advanced dramatically with knowledge recovered from the Architects.Its engines were cleaner.Its shields stronger.Its navigation system could cross the distance between Earth and the Moon in less than th
Chapter 105: The Invitation
No one celebrated.Although the footprints had stopped appearing…Although the black doorway had remained closed…Not a single person inside Mission Control believed the danger had passed.If anything…The silence felt heavier.It was the silence of two strangers looking at one another across a great distance.Waiting.Wondering who would speak next.Dr. Elena Brooks stood beside the communications console, replaying Ethan’s transmission.“My name is Ethan.”“You asked if you could speak.”“You can.”She listened to it three more times before finally muting the speakers.“I’ve worked in aerospace for seventeen years.”She slowly shook her head.“I spent my entire career preparing for first contact.”She smiled weakly.“I never imagined it would begin with… permission.”Professor Orion nodded.“Neither did I.”Hours passed.The black doorway did not move.The Moon remained quiet.Scientists continued monitoring every satellite, every telescope, and every sensor aimed toward the far sid
Chapter 104: Beyond the Black Door
The three knocks echoed through Mission Control.Slow.Steady.Deliberate.Every person in the room froze.No one spoke.No one breathed.The sound wasn’t coming from the speakers anymore.It seemed to resonate through the walls themselves.Three knocks…Yet it felt as though something enormous had struck the fabric of reality.Then…Silence.Emergency lights flickered back to life.Rows of monitors rebooted one after another.Technicians hurried to their stations.“Power is returning!”“I’m reconnecting to the lunar station!”“Signal stabilizing!”Dr. Elena Brooks leaned over one of the consoles.“Get me visual confirmation.”The largest monitor flashed.Static filled the screen.Then the image cleared.Everyone stared.The giant black doorway still stood on the Moon’s far side.Exactly where it had been before.Silent.Motionless.Almost…Innocent.Kai slowly let out the breath he had been holding.“I hate doors.”Lyra looked at him.“You hate everything.”“I especially hate mysteri
