Deciding my power still wasn't enough, I set my sights on the true finish line: one trillion years of training, exactly as promised on the day I arrived.
Time didn't pass any faster than before — Training Addict had already hit its ceiling — but it still flew by fast enough, and with the addiction running as strong as ever, I barely noticed the exact moment I crossed the finish line.
[ Congratulations! Host has completed 1,000,000,000,000 years of training. Final rewards will now be given! ]

As if that weren't enough, one final announcement appeared.
[ Announcement! Now that Host has completed training, Host may choose one of three ways to continue living.
1 - Return to Earth, with all powers intact.
2 - Gain freedom and travel to another world, one ruled by Sword and Magic, with all powers intact.
3 - Ascend to Heaven and create a world of your own, governed by your own rules. Note: you may never leave that place again. ]
[ Host must choose within 1 day, or the System will choose at random. ]
Do I even need to think about it? Of course I'm picking option two.
Ding!
[ Good luck on a journey filled with anything but threats! ]
"W-wait, System, you can talk?!"
[...]
Oh. I guess that was just another announcement.
About ten seconds later, a blinding light surged up from beneath my feet and swallowed me whole.
Somewhere in the white, I found myself smiling. A trillion years, give or take, and I still remembered exactly what a red light looked like right before it changed. Funny, the things you carry with you into forever.
