Hail_The_loli

Renji, a devoted player of a post-apocalyptic game, had numerous exes who were all fictional characters within the game. As a firm believer in strength, Renji would strip useless characters of their equipment and resources, relegating them to the background as caretakers while giving the best to new, powerful characters. He insisted this was temporary, all for the sake of advancing in the game and saving the precarious post-apocalyptic world.
However, these "fictional characters" didn't seem to agree with Renji's perspective. When Renji, with his emphasis on strength and meticulous planning, fulfilled his mission as the "savior" by putting an end to the source of Tainted Miasma in the wasteland and becoming the first to achieve a "perfect clearance," he unexpectedly found himself transported to the game's second stage. Renji had thought he would soar directly into a carefree life, but he soon realized that things were not quite as he had imagined.

Fallen Chronicles

For Renji and his companions, the only option was for Nova, a "Calamity Rank" being, to sacrifice her power to complete the ceremony. This could lead to the true rise of the demi-human races and restore the fragmented Dragon Nation, but at the cost of potentially draining Nova's vitality.

These were the things Renji thought of, and Nova understood too, as they had absorbed Bal's soul fragments together.

Renji did not speak, did not interfere, and left the choice entirely to Nova.

And Nova admitted that she indeed hesitated for a moment, even... recoiled.

It's hard to imagine the word "recoil" appearing in Nova's dictionary. As a Vanguard at her peak, she had always adhered to the warrior's code, never fearing any powerful enemy, nor losing spirit in the most desperate of predicaments.
