System Requiem: A World in the Balance

Later that evening, Lena stood before the core once more, the faint glow casting eerie shadows on the walls. The power it offered was so tempting, but the cost—the cost was everything.

She stared at her reflection in the surface of the core, seeing the exhaustion, the doubt, and the fear in her eyes. Was this the leader she was meant to be? Was this who she had become?

The price was becoming too high. And Lena wasn't sure if she could pay it anymore.
