Chapter 3 - Breaking the Cage

Night fell over the village. The beast's corpse had long since been dragged away, the people whispering prayers of gratitude to gods that never answered.

I sat alone in the shadows of my room, eyes half-closed, as glowing text still lingered before me.

[Quest Active: Survive. Observe. Integrate.

Warning: Anomaly detected. Monitoring in progress.]

The System had tried to cage me.

I pressed my palm against the wooden floorboards, whispering a thought.

Disintegrate.

The wood dissolved into dust, vanishing into the void. Another whisper.

Integrate.

The wood returned, perfectly restored, as if nothing had happened.

The System responded instantly.

[Action Detected: Reality Override

Error: Operation Undefined

Warning! World Stability at Risk]

I chuckled softly. World stability at risk? From a single plank of wood? How fragile you are.

Curiosity burned in me. What else could I erase?

I closed my eyes and focused inward—not on objects, but on concepts. On sensations.

Disintegrate… fear.

A cold shiver rippled through my chest. My heartbeat steadied. Every trace of instinctive dread—gone.

[Warning! Tampering with Abstract Variables Detected

Restriction Protocol: Initiated]

A sharp pain pierced my skull, like needles driving into my brain. The System's attempt at punishment.

I smiled through it. "So, you can hurt me. How interesting."

The pain faded quickly. Too quickly. It couldn't hold me.

A knock at my door interrupted my amusement.

"Hey, you in there?"

It was a boy. My age—or rather, this body's age. Untidy hair, dirt on his cheeks, the wide-eyed seriousness of an innocent fool.

I opened the door slightly, letting my gaze fall on him.

"I saw you earlier," he said, voice trembling with awe. "When the monster was chained… I think it was you, wasn't it?"

So someone had noticed.

I tilted my head, forcing a small, hesitant smile. "That's… impossible. I'm just a child."

His eyes lit up. "No, I know it was you! You saved us! Please—teach me! I want to be strong like you!"

Pathetic. So easily deceived.

But useful. Very useful.

"I'll… think about it," I murmured, letting my voice waver just enough to sound unsure.

The boy's expression brightened with hope. He bowed his head and ran off, no doubt fantasizing about his future greatness.

I closed the door and laughed. Low, sharp, twisted.

The System flared again.

Whispers spread across enchanted corridors: “He is building a constellation.”\nBut becoming Harem King is not about winning affection. It is about balance. Rivalries flare. Emotions ignite hotter than spellfire. If jealousy fractures his circle, his dream shatters.\nWhen an ancient Void Empress rises, declaring love a weakness that dilutes power, Caelum must prove the opposite. His final gambit is not a solo display of brilliance but a synchronized storm of magic and trust, a radiant fusion called Crown of Constellations.\nIn Aetherion, kings conquer alone.\nCaelum intends to reign together.\nCue the wind sweeping across floating towers, petals spiraling through starlight, and a future throne waiting not for one ruler, but for a constellation","pvNum":1476,"bookType":0,"checkLevel":10,"categoryType":5,"categoryId":70002,"categoryName":"Fantasy","coverId":1770969601606,"chapterCnt":6,"firstChapterId":"94201322819082873","lastChapterId":"94204983876052671","lastChapterName":"CHAPTER 5 — WHEN THE TITAN STEPPED THROUGH","lastChapterTime":1770983256000}],"relatedTag":null,"waitpayStatus":null}}},"page":"/story/[bookId]/[chapterId]","query":{"bookId":"33795408808984505","chapterId":"90743555915564002"},"buildId":"Tb1lt-BcXaYjb3qhx1aVe","assetPrefix":"https://www.yueimg.com/seo_site_a","isFallback":false,"dynamicIds":[47160],"gssp":true,"appGip":true,"scriptLoader":[]}</script></body></html>
