Finale 2

[The bond between Strider and Max had grown unshakable over 20 years, evolving into a brotherhood rooted in mutual trust and shared ambition.]

[From the moment Max discovered Strider's ability to predict future events, he recognized the value of such a rare gift.]

[Strider, on the other hand, leveraged this trust to embed himself deeply into the royal family's affairs, becoming a key advisor and confidant to the future emperor.]

[Max's mother, the queen, had also taken Strider under her wing, treating him as a second son.]

[Her intuition told her that Strider was not just a loyal friend to her child but a pivotal figure in the kingdom's future.]

[Her care for him ensured that Strider remained close to Max, giving him the perfect cover to stay away from the Duke family, which had all but forgotten him after 20 years.]

[This was exactly what Strider wanted—to avoid raising suspicion about his intentions while preparing for the eventual massacre and his ascension to the Wraith stage.]

[Age 26:]

[The day Strider had been preparing for finally arrived. He knew that the massacre at the Duke mansion was inevitable and that it was a crucial step in his evolution.]

[With the trust and resources of the now Crown Prince Max, Strider requested a peak 5th-star mage as his protector.]

[Max, without hesitation, assigned one of his most trusted guards, showcasing his unshakable faith in Strider.]

[Strider's meticulous planning came to fruition as he and the protector arrived at the Duke mansion just in time to witness the domain of Lester d Raizel—a terrifying display of power that marked the Duke's ascension to the 6th-star mage stage.]

[Armed with the knowledge from previous simulations, Strider explained the truth to the protector: "Lester was the Duke's real body, and the "Duke" they had seen all these years was nothing but a clone."]

[The protector was initially skeptical, but years of loyalty to Max and Strider's track record of reliability persuaded him to act.]

[Strider handed over the system-purchased item, Equal Dome, explaining its ability to nullify domains and level the playing field.]

[He concealed the fact that the item was inscribed with a ritual to channel the Duke's power into Strider, allowing him to evolve into a Wraith.]

[The protector's confidence was palpable. As a peak 5th-star mage from the royal family, he possessed skills and techniques that far outmatched most mages of his rank.]

[With the Equal Dome in play, he managed to suppress the Duke's domain, creating an even battlefield. What followed was a prolonged, grueling battle, with the protector employing every ounce of his strength and heritage to take down the newly ascended 6th-star mage.]

[After what felt like an eternity, the Duke fell, his body collapsing into nothingness. The protector, though gravely injured, survived the ordeal.]

[He began meditating to recover, unaware that the Equal Dome had absorbed the Duke's mana core and power, channeling it directly into Strider.]

[Strider excused himself, claiming he had other matters to attend to. The protector, trusting Strider completely, allowed him to leave.]

[Strider fled to an isolated mountain, his heart pounding with anticipation.

The EvolutionIn the quiet solitude of the mountain, Strider felt the overwhelming surge of energy from the Duke's absorbed power.]

[The Ghostling form that had been a part of him for so long finally broke free, transforming into the sinister and powerful Wraith. It took whole three days for the evolution,the evolution was not gradual—it was explosive.]

[Your talent Little Lucky boy works once again as no one disturb you on your evolution as a single mistake can lead to to go berserk as taking such large amount of energy is no child's play and the whole process goes smoothly as even the heavens are favouring this demonic entity]

[Strider's new Wraith form radiated dark energy, a manifestation of the peak of the energy accumulation realm. The sinister aura was palpable, but as he regained his human appearance, he felt an unprecedented sense of power and control.]

[Despite the simulation's completion remaining pending, he knew he had achieved something monumental.]

[Returning to the royal palace, Strider reported the details of the Duke's demise to Max.]

[The Crown Prince expressed no concern over the loss of the Duke mansion, focusing solely on Strider's safety.]

[This unwavering loyalty reinforced the bond between the two.]

[Over the next few years, Strider became an integral part of Max's campaign for the throne. The emperor's passing marked the beginning of a fierce battle among the royal heirs.]

[Strider's newfound power, though concealed initially, soon became a key factor in Max's victories.]

[When Strider finally revealed his strength, surpassing the level of a 5th-star mage, it astonished even Max. The Crown Prince's trust in Strider deepened, as he believed this was simply another manifestation of dark elemental magic—a rare but not entirely unheard-of phenomenon in their world.]

[Strider's power and strategy dominated the battlefield. While 6th-star mages, the empire's true pillars, refrained from intervening, Strider's strength was more than enough to ensure Max's success.]

[By the end of the struggle, Max ascended to the throne, becoming Emperor Max El Maxwell, with Strider as his most trusted advisor.]

As Max was crowned emperor, the long-awaited system notification finally arrived:

[Simulation Terminated]

[Copy Completion: 100%]

[Note: You have earned much fame in this life.]

[Reward: Demon Template – Adult Wraith (Realm: Peak of energy accumulation]

[Additional Reward: +4000 System Points]

Strider stood in the system space once more, reflecting on the journey he had taken.

The simulation had been grueling, forcing him to navigate the intricate webs of politics, power, and betrayal.

Yet, he had emerged victorious, not only achieving his goal of evolving into a Wraith but also securing a position of unparalleled influence in the copy world.

As he prepared for the next steps in his journey, Strider smiled, knowing that the lessons learned and the power gained from this simulation would serve him well in the trials that he go through in the real world.
