Always us. THE END

The room went still, tension hanging heavy in the air. "Have you no shame?" My assistant, Melody, stormed over, standing protectively in front of me, her face red with anger. "Everyone knows Emilia is the maker of Eternal Dawn! Don't you feel an ounce of shame, stealing it like this?" Hannah's eyes welled up immediately, turning her into the perfect picture of wounded innocence. Her red-rimmed eyes and trembling nose played to the crowd with flawless ease, winning sympathy, as always. And sure enough, as soon as her sobs began, Ethan's furious voice thundered through the silence, splitting the air like a crack of lightning.

I smiled shyly as I looked away. “It isn’t like you haven’t seen it.” “I know, but it is different. I guess it is more of a reminder that the end is drawing near.” I shrugged. I didn’t elaborate on what ending it would be, because at this point, I didn’t know. With both of us unable to log out of the game, it meant we were both at risk of dying inside the game. As we made our way through the level, to locate the boss, I concluded that no matter what, I had to make sure he at least got out of the game.

I jumped away as it crashed to the ground, making a terrible crunching sound as it skidded to a stop. Shortly after, a flaming mass fell to the ground. It was Horus. He wasn’t moving anymore, so I assumed he was dead already. His spear was nowhere to be found. His godly armour was broken in different places and one of the wings torn off. In the distance, I could see the familiar light of Zeus’ electric discharge, M’gethir’s spatial distortions, and Eistibus’ holy magic. I looked to where Tony was and saw that the battle was over. Good grief. I wonder who won, I’ll find out soon. But now... I was about to fly up to join them, when all of a sudden, a huge explosion occured in the sky, shaking

His heroic act warmed Georgie’s heart. Nevertheless, the opponent’s AD soon withdrew her attention from Henry. The opponent’s AD had now changed his target. He charged at her team’s Mid Lane and launched a series of attacks. The Mid Lane tried to counterattack his invasion but was in a vulnerable position. In the end, the two of them died with their blood on each other’s hands. Finally, Georgie jumped out of the bushes and spammed her skills, sending the opponent’s Support to death. The game ended in a ferocious battle, and the victory was theirs.

Eros seemed to be going crazy with this fact. Kenzo glanced his eyes at Shawn, and Shawn quickly caught the implied code. Then the trigger of the gun began to be slowly pulled by Shawn, and finally made Eros momentarily silent, stiffened with a pale face. "Oh my God." whispered Eros, who reflexively closed his eyes for a moment. Kenzo raised his hand, he motioned for Shawn to stop. Then Eros took a deep breath, then he looked back at Kenzo. "Now you can start Old Man." said Kenzo, giving orders.

Others unlocked special abilities. Cats, though? Different tier. They were the only ones who got stronger through breeding. No slow grind. Every generation jumped ahead. Before long, cats ran the apocalypse. With their abilities, humans controlled the zombies, built a cure, survived. The pets stopped evolving. Everything balanced out again. Then, two years after it all ended, Bubba and Missy got thrown back here by accident. A magnetic shift sealed their powers. They looked broken, half-dead in the rain.

Julian stepped back, his massive silhouette framed by the flashing red emergency lights, and reached for the heavy tactical shotgun resting on the concrete floorboards. The game was entirely over, the mountain was falling, and the final payment had just been signed in blood.

“Take care of each other. That’s all that matters in the end. The people we chose to love despite everything trying to tear us apart.” He closed the door gently, and we waited. Twenty minutes later, I felt it. The Intent shift, the way reality bent slightly as the Marionettist’s connection to the system severed. Julian’s presence winked out like a candle flame, and the game registered his death. A notification appeared in my vision, visible to everyone who’d been marked as a player: GAME COMPLETION ACHIEVED OBJECTIVE: LENORE PRESERVED RETURN TO ORIGINAL WORLD: OPTIONAL STAY IN LENORE: OPTIONAL

To trade my own ending for their freedom. Having spoken, I slowly closed my eyes and waited for the darkness to claim me. But the expected pain and oblivion never came. Instead, a burst of radiant, golden light erupted at my feet. It swept across the rooftop, then cascaded through the entire hospital! The light was profoundly warm, never blinding, carrying a sense of divine compassion. The system's voice, now stripped of its coldness, resonated in every ear. [Congratulations, Player Cassidy.
