The Mysterious Notification
(Samuel's POV)
I stood in the vast emptiness where the abyssal dungeon once existed, my entire body still aching from the battle. But despite the exhaustion, despite the pain—I grinned.
Because we won.
The system notification flashed, its blue glow illuminating the space around us.

I didn't waste time.
"Open the reward."
The system flashed, and suddenly, a vortex of raw energy appeared before us, shifting between golden divine light and abyssal black flames.
Henry, standing beside me, smirked.
"Well, let's see what we got."
Another notification popped up.

I laughed.
A deep, satisfied, victorious laugh.
"Henry," I said, my abyssal energy crackling around my fists. "We didn't just get stronger."
Henry chuckled, his golden aura flaring, his sword vibrating with celestial energy beyond anything I had ever seen.
"Yeah." He looked at me, grinning. "We became something else entirely."
I exhaled, opening my hands, feeling the power surge through me.
Then I smirked.
"Show me my status window."
The system flashed again.

I let out a slow breath, feeling my entire being shift into something far beyond what I had ever been before.
"This…" I whispered, flexing my fingers. "This is beyond power."
I turned to Henry, who was watching his own status screen, smirking.
"Your turn."
Henry grinned.

Henry let out a low whistle, staring at his screen.
"Well, shit."
I laughed, stretching my arms. "Understatement of the fucking century."
Henry grinned, closing his screen.
"You realize what this means, right?"
I smirked. "Yeah."
We had done it.
We weren't just stronger.
We were now beyond anything this world had ever seen.
And now?
The New World was waiting.
Henry turned to me, his golden eyes burning.
"So, Samuel… ready to leave this shithole?"
I grinned, abyssal energy crackling around me.
"Hell yes."
Together, we stepped forward—toward the next battlefield.
Stepping Into the New World
The space around us shifted, the last remnants of Black Hollow Dungeon fading into nothingness. The battlefield, the abyss, the ruins—it was all gone.
What remained was the gateway.
A massive portal, pulsing between gold and abyssal black, as if recognizing both our Celestial and Abyssal energies. It wasn't just a door—it was a threshold, a bridge to something beyond comprehension.
Henry and I stood before it, our newfound power surging around us.
The system notification flashed once more.

Henry grinned, his golden aura flaring, his Sword of the First Dawn resting on his shoulder.
"You ready for this?"
I smirked, my Abyssal Gauntlets crackling with untamed destruction.
"I was born ready."
Without hesitation—we stepped forward.
---
Transition – The New World Awakens
The moment we crossed the threshold, everything exploded into light.
It wasn't just teleportation—it was transcendence.
I felt my soul shifting, my very existence being rewritten to match the rules of this new realm. It was as if I was being reborn, but not as something lesser—as something greater.
Henry and I were no longer just warriors.
We were forces of nature.
The light faded—
And suddenly, we were standing in a world unlike anything we had ever seen.
---
The New World – The Beginning of Dominion
We stood on a floating landmass, surrounded by an endless sky of twisting galaxies, burning suns, and cascading waterfalls that flowed into the void itself. The very air was thick with divine and abyssal energy, as if this world had been forged by creation and destruction itself.
Massive floating islands stretched out into the distance, each pulsing with an ancient power. Below us, a sprawling city, unlike anything from our past world, flourished in golden and obsidian architecture.
And in the farthest distance—a massive throne-like structure sat atop the highest floating citadel.
This wasn't just another world.
This was a battleground for gods.
The system flashed once more.
---

Henry whistled, looking at the city below.
"Well, isn't this interesting?"
I exhaled, grinning.
"Looks like we're not the only ones who play god here."
Henry chuckled.
"Then let's make sure they know we're not just players."
I cracked my knuckles, my Abyssal Gauntlets roaring to life.
"Yeah… because we're here to take the whole damn board."
And with that, we descended into the New World—ready to rewrite its fate.
