A Farewell for NowAnd just like that...Book One has come to an end.261 chapters.When I first started writing this story, I don't think I imagined that it would grow into what it eventually became. What began as an idea slowly turned into a world of battles, mysteries, sacrifices, friendships, awakenings, heartbreak, and characters who continued to stand even when everything around them was falling apart.And now, after everything...we've finally reached the end of the first part of that journey.Before anything else, I want to say one thing:Thank you.Thank you for reading.Thank you for staying.Thank you for making it all the way to the end of Book One.Whether you've been here since the beginning or discovered the story somewhere along the way, every chapter you read means something to me. Every time you continued to the next chapter, every time you became curious about what would happen next, every time a character surprised you, every time a battle made you excited, or ever

The World AfterMorning came quietly.For the first time in what felt like an eternity—there were no alarms.No emergency sirens.No warning signals.No soldiers running through the command center.No voices shouting about another breach.No one was preparing for war.The world was simply—quiet.Sunlight spilled across the horizon, touching the ruined cities and broken landscapes that had once been battlefields.Buildings were damaged.Roads were cracked.Entire sections of cities would have to be rebuilt.But people were alive.And that was enough.The world had survived.Inside the command center, something else had changed.The place that had once been filled with fear and urgency was now filled with laughter.Tables had been pushed together.Food covered nearly every surface.Music played through the halls.People who had spent months fighting for survival were finally celebrating for something that wasn't another victory on a battlefield.They were celebrating life.Hazel stood

Chapter 260 — The Voice WithinThe first thing Jae heard—was a heartbeat.Slow.Steady.Alive.Then—[Recovery complete.]Jae opened his eyes.White light surrounded him.For a moment, he couldn't remember where he was.Then everything returned.The battle.The Entity.Elyndra.Hazel.The Clone.The synchronization.The System.Jae immediately sat up."Wait."A wave of pain passed through his chest.He grabbed it."I'm alive?"A familiar voice answered.[Confirmed.]Jae froze.He slowly looked around."You're still here."[I never left.]Jae stared into empty space.Then he smiled."You really became the System."A brief pause.[Correction.]Jae raised an eyebrow."What?"[I became part of the System.]Jae laughed quietly."Still sounds like the same thing."[It is not.]Jae smiled."You're still annoying."[And you are still reckless.]Jae stopped.That sounded exactly like the Clone.For the first time since waking up—Jae felt something strange.He wasn't alone.The Clone wasn't p

The SystemJae opened his eyes.But he wasn't in the command center.He wasn't on the battlefield.He wasn't anywhere he recognized.There was only darkness.Endless darkness.Then—a voice.[Connection established.]Jae froze."What?"The voice didn't sound human.It was calm.Emotionless.Yet somehow—familiar.[Primary consciousness detected.]Jae looked around."Who are you?"Silence.Then—[Secondary consciousness detected.]Jae's eyes widened."Secondary?"A faint light appeared in the darkness.A figure stood before him.The Clone.But something was wrong.He wasn't solid anymore.His body was made of countless fragments of light.His outline flickered.Jae stared at him."You..."The Clone smiled faintly."Hey."Jae stepped toward him."What's happening?"The Clone looked down at his own hands."I don't think I can go back."Jae's expression changed."What do you mean?""I tried."The Clone looked at him."But there's nowhere to go."His body flickered again.Jae reached for h

The Clone's ChoiceThe command center had never been this quiet.Not even during the final battle.Not even when the Seventh Seal collapsed.Not even when the Entity descended upon the world.Now—everyone was waiting.The medical team surrounded Jae.Machines hummed around him.Monitors flashed.Energy readings constantly changed.Medics moved from one station to another, desperately trying to stabilize his condition."Heart rate dropping!""Increase the energy stabilizer!""It's not responding!""Again!"A pulse of energy surged through Jae's body.His heartbeat rose—then immediately fell again.Hazel stood behind the medical barrier.Her hands were trembling."Come on..."She whispered."Please."The Clone stood several meters away.He hadn't moved since they brought Jae inside.Every time Jae's heartbeat changed—his own chest reacted.Every time Jae suffered—he felt it.Every time Jae's heartbeat weakened—his own strength disappeared.He clenched his fists.The medics tried ag

The ReturnLight swallowed the darkness.For a moment, there was nothing.No sound.No ground.No sky.Then—the Clone stumbled forward.His knees struck the earth.Seraphina appeared beside him, catching herself before she fell.They were back.Back in Jae's world.The battlefield stretched before them.Broken.Ruined.But alive.The last sunlight of the day touched the shattered landscape.The Clone slowly raised his head.He felt it immediately.That heartbeat.Weak.Distant.But unmistakable.Jae.His hand went to his chest."He's here."Seraphina looked around."Where?"The Clone turned toward the center of the battlefield."There."They began walking.Then Hazel saw him.She froze.Her eyes widened.For several seconds, she simply stared.The face.The body.The aura.There was no mistaking him."The Clone..."Her voice trembled.The Clone stopped.Hazel rushed toward him."Where have you been?!"She grabbed his arm."You disappeared!"The Clone looked at her.He remembered her.

Tapos napunta ang atensyon sa pwesto nila Angela. Namula ang mukha ni Angela at sinabi."May asawa na ho ako remember? Hindi ko matatanggap yun!" Sagot ni Angela.Pagkatapos ay lalong nagiging pangit ang reaksyon ng kanyang lola habang kumukunot ang kanyang mga labi. Nagiging madilim ang kanyang mukha at nakakunot ang kanyang mga kilay. Tapos sabi niya...."Na-brainwash ka na ba ng walang kwentang basurang ito? Mangyaring bumalik sa iyong katinuan ngayon!"Tapos dagdag pa ng nanay niya."Hindi ka ba talaga nahihiya na kasama itong bastardong ito na ang alam lang ay maglinis ng palikuran at mga gawaing bahay?"

It was an uneasy night in Fairview city. It was as if something frightening was going to happen. Many people were kept on their toes, anxiously waiting as if doomsday was upon them. In a quiet house in the mountains not too far from Fairview city. Mr. Howards was here. He hadn't been made his move at all. His cheeks were flushed and he looked good. After he heard the reports, he sat in the pavilion and was silent for a long time. "I wanted you to kill off Scar and that brat Jan Bobber, then put the blame on Jate Woods. I didn't expect him to walk into this plan himself," Mr. Howards said after a very long while. "I only wanted him to take the blame, but he actually did it himself." His eyes darkened and he couldn't understand Jate Woods at all. The less he understood, the more wary he became. "Can he take the brunt of Johnny Bobber's fury?" Killer asked. Out of the five of them that worked closely under Johnny Bobber, Killer had killed two and Jate Woods killed one. They were no

Meanwhile, somewhere in Fairview city. Johnny Bobber was here! He hadn't heard anything from his son, Jan Bobber, and he had even lost contact with Scar. Johnny Bobber was worried that Mr. Howard had made his move and killed his folks. But after returning to Fairview city, there was no trace of movement of Mr. Howards anywhere. That old thing wouldn't dare to move recklessly. He had been worried for nothing. But where was his son Jan Bobber then? His son loved to play and went anywhere he wanted, and he was an extremely arrogant and condescending character. Johnny Bobber knew, but it didn't bother him. Jan Bobber was Johnny Bobber's son, so who cared if he was domineering? It was only right of him to be arrogant! Since Mr. Howards dared not to make his move, then he had nothing to worry about. "There's no trace of of movement of Mr. Howards nor his weapon Killer. Looks like our news is reliable. Mr. Howards is getting old and scaredy." Star had picked up some information. He frowne

Bang! Suddenly, an even more powerful force gushed out! Jate Woods fist didn't seem like much, but it was like rushing river waters and was extremely ferocious. Scar's expression instantly changed. He wanted to only use half of his strength, but now he immediately turned it up to full power. He didn't expect Jate Woods to be someone capable of fighting! But of course he wasn't in time. Crack! Compared to Scar's punch, Jate Woods's was faster! More powerful! And more fiercer! His fist smashed into Scar's thigh. There was a loud cracking sound that was the sound of a bone cracking! Scar went flying. The shock on his face had now turned into fear. The power this one punch packed was way too terrifying! If he hadn't dodged fast enough, his leg might be amputated on the spot! He was a highly skilled fighter! This Jate Woods was a highly skilled fighter! "Jan Bobber..." Scar yelled out and wanted him to run. But before he could get his full sentence out, Jate was already in front of him.

After work, Jate Woods took his wife and went to a hot spring resort. "I told you not to tire yourself out!" Jate nagged. "The company can take its time to advance, and it's good enough for you to just have a training ground." Angela had worked too hard and her body was so tired. Jate couldn't stand it anymore when he saw how she would massage her neck and shoulders from time to time and looked like she was feeling great discomfort. He made her stop work immediately and brought her out to relax. This hot spring resort belonged to Mr. Rogers, and it was fairly famous in the city. Not just any resort could get such a good spot with a natural hot spring after all. "Hubyyy...I still have reports to read." Angela had changed out of her clothes, but she was still talking about work. She had changed into a bikini, but she still kept a towel wrapped around herself, and was just short of wrapping her entire body up. "If you talk some more about work, I'll shut the company down right now!"

Jate Woods sighed to himself on the sofa, after hearing the news of the Clarkson family disappearance. This city of Fairview was a really interesting one. Five days later.... "What are you dreaming about?" Angela noticed that her husband was sitting in the sofa in a daze and she wrinkled her nose. "I asked you how was Fairview city, but you ignored me." "There's nothing interesting in there Eastblue city is still better." Jate just shrugged and just simply an answer. "None of the women there look prettier than you." Angela was about to say it was impossible that Eastblue city was better than Fairview city, but she didn't know how to respond to his second statement. Did this guy only know how to tease her all the time? Her face reddened and she glared at him for a time before finally managed to say, "You went there again and just to look at women?" Jate Woods nearly choked on the water he was drinking. Why was that Angela's focus?! "It's time to knock off, let's go home. I wonder

Miranda Bailey soon recovered from the shock. She warily hid behind her bodyguards to guard up Jate Woods against attacking her suddenly. She sneered, "Jate Woods, you really are something. Guess we can't fight you alone! But you're still just a human being. You can't be greater than weapons. Listen, I have my men aiming at you! You can't run away, no matter what. If you don't want to die, get down on your knees now!" "Get down on my knees? Are you kidding me? You don't deserve it!" Jate Woods stared at Miranda Bailey and spoke in his usual cold tone. Miranda Bailey could not help but bellow upon hearing his words. "Get the men to shoot him. He's dying to go to hell!" Miranda Bailey scowled and ordered Tom Clarkson, who stood by her side drily. The latter did not hesitate to give his order through the microphone, which was pinned on his collar, "Men, get ready to shoot." Selena whined and struggled madly when she heard him. Miranda Bailey and Tom Clarkson, with the rest of their
