I have a third option now.
The Seed of Infinite Choice pulsed in his chest—thump-thump—resonating with his heartbeat. The ability granted in Level Three: force reality to offer a third path when only two exist.
I can use it once per planetary rotation.
Haven't used it yet.
But the consequences are "extreme."
Yoo made the calculation in microseconds:
Risk of using Seed: Unknown but potentially catastrophic.
Risk of not using it: 88% probability of death in next two minutes.
The choice is obvious.
He activated the Seed of Infinite Choice.
CRACK.
Reality fractured around him—not breaking, but branching. Where before there were two paths (attack or defend), suddenly a third path became visible. A route that shouldn't exist but did because Yoo had forced it into being.
The blood pool wasn't just liquid.
It was memory.
Every creature that had ever died on this platform, their life-essence absorbed into the Threshold, creating this pool. And memories could be accessed.
