The mirror world collapsed.
Its jagged fragments did not fall — they dissolved into Elias's skin like stardust, absorbed into the very fibers of his soul. Time, memory, and law bent around him. Every breath he took now resonated through the network of the System.
He stood alone.
Before him, three glowing symbols floated in the void. Choices. Absolute.
End. Rebuild. Transform.
Elias remembered his first awakening. The betrayal. The blood. The chains. Every single death he'd caused. Every soul he'd absorbed. Every question left unanswered.
He wasn't a saint.
But he was no longer a pawn.
"I won't repeat the mistakes of the past," he said to the void. "I won't destroy the world... but I won't keep it chained, either."
His fingers moved toward the third symbol—Transform the System.
The moment he touched it, the void pulsed.
