"This isn't the end. It's the gate."

📍 Ember Citadel – Core Spire, 00h00
The sky split open.
Not metaphorically — the actual sky. A vertical tear of pure white burned through the clouds, revealing something beyond reality.
Kael stood at the top of the citadel, cloak torn, armor scorched.
> [Arconte Interference – Absolute Level Detected]
Status: Tier Unknown
Codename: The Architect's Eye
Effect: All systems destabilized. Manual override required.
The final test was not strength…
It was will.

📍 Command Floor – Citadel Operations
Myrla: "The sky's collapsing—systems are going haywire!"
Nara: "Kael's aura is rising. He's not channeling shadows anymore. He's becoming… something else."
Rhaz slammed his fist on the table. "If he can't seal that portal, this entire continent becomes a feeding ground."

📍 Above the Citadel – Final Battle Begins
Kael faced a construct descending from the Eye. A being of light and glyphs. Its body shifted forms — from man to flame to symbol to memory.
It spoke through every voice Kael had ever heard.
"You were never meant to exist."
Kael: "Yet I do."
The battle began.
> [Executor Ascension – Temporary Awakening: Phase One]
Ability: Shadowflare Pulse / Chain Distortion / Memory Lock
Kael moved faster than the Eye's projections. Nullfang merged with him mid-fight. For every strike Kael made, three shadows followed.
But the Eye adapted. Every hit Kael landed was countered in seconds.
Then…
He closed his eyes.
And reached within the system.
"Your rules… no longer bind me."

đź“Ť System Override Engaged
> [Shadow System Core: Disconnected]
[Manual Control: Accepted]
[New Class Registered: Sovereign of the Unwritten Path]
Kael's armor shattered — and reformed from threads of night and light.
He was no longer just the Executor.
He was the author of his own fate.
With a roar, he summoned all his shadows, past and present — and struck the Eye in its core.
The sky exploded in silence.
The portal closed.

📍 Aftermath – Juren, Two Days Later
The city mourned its dead.
But it also celebrated its survivor.
Kael did not attend the ceremonies.
He stood alone in the ruins of the first dungeon he ever entered.
Myrla approached.
"Are you okay?"
He didn't answer.
Just looked up.
The sky was intact again.
But he was not.

đź“Ť Post-Credit Scene
Deep within a broken realm, five silhouettes stood before a burning map.
Only one of them spoke.
"So… he survived."
Another voice: "And disconnected from our system."
A third figure, cloaked in divine light, stepped forward.
"Prepare the next gate. The Second Season begins soon."

✒️ Author's Note
Thank you to every single reader who followed Kael's journey through the darkness, pain, and power.
Season One of Ascension of the Last Hunter was a story of survival — of learning what it means to have nothing… and still rise.
Kael defied fate.
He faced dungeons, corrupt guilds, living systems, and even the Architects who shaped this world.
But his story is just beginning.
This world is vast.
The shadows are growing.
And the war… is far from over.
Your support means everything. See you very soon.
