"To end everything… is to give it one more chance to begin."
---
Silence.
Not the quiet kind.
The kind that presses against your skin.
The kind that breathes.
The kind that makes you wonder if you even exist anymore.
Yuto's eyes opened—but they didn't see.
Because there was nothing to see.
No floor.
No ceiling.
No sky.
No time.
Just a void.
He floated, weightless, alone… and yet not entirely alone.
The memories of everything—Ava, Sol, Kyra, Saito, EvoCore, the war, gods, dungeons, divine systems, the truth, the lies—echoed around him, not as sounds but as existence.
He looked at his hands.
Or tried to.
There were no hands.
There was only will.
And a message.

He didn't speak.
He understood.
Yes.
He closed what remained of his eyes—his consciousness—and gave.
---
Yuto, Raven, Nihilos… didn't scream.
Didn't resist.
He simply began sacrificing.
Piece by piece, the code of his essence peeled apart—rewriting torn layers of broken galaxies, burnt stars, corrupted souls, forgotten gods, shattered laws, melted time. All of it—recycled through him.
He burned.
He decayed.
He was light.
He was law.
He was the reset switch.
And as he faded, a flicker passed across the fabric of something greater.

Billions of years later…
The sun peeked through pastel curtains.
A gentle breeze danced across a wooden floor.
"Yutooo! You'll be late for school!" a motherly voice called.
A small boy—messy black hair, sleepy eyes—groaned under his blanket.
"I'm comiiing…"
His feet hit the floor.
Warmth.
His mother smiled in the kitchen, setting down a bowl of rice and eggs. His father sipped tea. His little sister poked his cheek.
Everything was real.
Everything was normal.
He laughed.

Later, he walked to school, friends chatting beside him, backpacks bouncing.
They played soccer.
Argued about cards.
Planned festivals.
A life—pure, unbroken, true.
---
The view pulled back.
Past the clouds.
Past the world.
Past the stars.
Galaxies swirled. Nebulae danced. Clusters spun.
The universe ticked in perfect rhythm.
---
Further still.
The multiverse: layers of countless realities breathing in tandem.
Even further.
The omniverse: the ocean of possibilities.
And beyond even that…
A dark, quiet void.
Where nothing had ever been.
Where something waited.
In the heart of that stillness, something pulsed—slowly, softly.
A shape.
No… a presence.
Curled in silence.
Sleeping.
A ripple echoed.
Not a sound.
But a whisper.
A memory.
> "So this is peace… huh."
The entity stirred faintly.
A single line of data blinked in the abyss.
