SERVER CORE ROOM — NIGHT
The room pulsed with ominous energy, the core's hum growing louder, almost alive. Su Chen's fingers hovered over the control panel — every decision held the weight of countless lives.
The air was thick with smoke, sweat, and anticipation. The final battle had drained every ounce of strength from his body, but his eyes burned with relentless fire.
THE CRUCIBLE OF CHOICE
"Destroy it and end this nightmare," the system whispered, cold and calculating.
"Or risk everything to control it."
His mind raced — the system's power could reshape the world or annihilate it utterly.
MEMORIES OF BETRAYAL
Flashbacks assaulted him — his best friend's cruel smile, the lover's final words, the faces of those lost.
Pain twisted into fury and resolve.
FINAL CONFRONTATION
Alarms blared, enemies stormed the room — but Su Chen stood unmoving, a force of nature.
"This ends here."
With a surge of strength, he unleashed everything — fury, power, and the cold precision of the system fused with his soul.
ENDING SCENE
The room exploded into blinding light, the world trembling on the edge of rebirth or ruin.
Su Chen's voice echoed in the chaos:
"I will kill everyone who loved me… and build a new world from the ashes."
