Chapter 21: Limitless Choices — A World Shaken

> SYSTEM:

> "An absolute choice has been made... The world of the dead and the world of the living will be disturbed."

> "But now... we grant you Limitless Absolute Choice. A final, supreme right, irrevocable by anyone — even by the Creator."

>

The sky instantly darkened. Clouds turned black, and lightning flashed silently. Beyond space and time, the echoes of the system's words flowed throughout the universe — shaking dimensions, pausing time for a moment.

Auren stood still. Beside him, Lisea held his hand, her body still weak, but warm... real.

She was alive again.

And for the first time in his life — Auren felt complete. Yet, fate had not allowed him to rest.

Before Auren, the system conjured five radiant paths. Each path stretched endlessly, carrying a different pressure. The system screen displayed:

[LIMITLESS ABSOLUTE CHOICE]

* Become the King of All Dimensions

Command the world of the living, the world of the dead, and interdimensional space. However, the burden of eternity will slowly destroy your soul.

* Erase All Systems from All Beings

Free the world from the chains of systems. But all power will return to its original form — chaotic and uncontrollable.

* Make Yourself and Lisea the Center of New Life

Create a new world. But the old world will decay and be erased from history.

* Create New Laws Without Gods and Systems

Form reality according to your own will. However, you will be the only one to bear the burden of judging all.

* Reject All and Return Everything to How It Was

Forget everything. Live peacefully with Lisea. But all your struggles will vanish without a trace, and threats will continue to return.

Auren took a deep breath. His eyes were sharp, no longer doubtful. For the first time, he didn't feel like a puppet of fate. He didn't feel like a victim of the system.

He looked at Lisea, who smiled softly despite her exhaustion. He gripped her hand tightly.

> Auren:

> "I won't run away again... This world has lost too much, suffered too much. I will... choose my own path."

>

His steps were firm as he walked towards the third path.

> SYSTEM:

> "THIRD CHOICE LOCKED — Center of New Life Has Been Chosen."

> "Zhael was once the point of destruction. Now, you become the point of beginning."

>

Blinding light filled everything.

The old world began to crack, not shattering, but rather splitting. From the cracks, new roots of life began to spread — like the seeds of a giant tree that would grow a new world.

Lisea looked at the gently glowing sky and whispered:

> Lisea:

> "If this world is to be reborn... I will stand beside you, until the end..."
