The ULTIMATE EXPERIENCE SYSTEM
Chapter 103: DEATH

Chapter 103: DEATH

Victory should have felt like glory.But the skies didn’t cheer. The air didn’t breathe. The realm... held its breath.

Chen Yu stood at the center of the shattered arena, robe torn at the shoulder, Chaos Energy still faintly swirling around him. Behind him, his team celebrated, relieved, injured—but alive.

Then the first crack appeared.

High in the sky, like a fracture in a mirror, reality itself split.

A pulse of golden pressure followed. Like the hand of a god slamming down across all planes.

Meiyun gasped. "What... is that?"

Azrael froze. "No. That’s not a technique. That’s... that’s a reset."

Through the rift descended a being wrapped in threads of light and silence, faceless and ancient. Its voice was neither male nor female, neither loud nor quiet — it was law.

"System Rejection Initiated.Designation: Chen Yu.Verdict: Existence Violation."

The system screen opened in front of Chen Yu — but it flickered, glitched, and trembled.

[You have broken the rules.][You were never meant to wield Chaos.][Your path leads to collapse.]

Initiating Final Judgment.

[30 Minutes Earlier – Personal Memory Fragment]

Chen Yu had felt it earlier—during his last fight against the Twilight Reign elites. The moment he used Stirring Chaos, time folded. Fire stopped burning. Space skipped. Rules failed.

And the system... stuttered.

"User has exceeded the bounds of reality."

He ignored it.

Then, another line had appeared beneath:

"You are the first. And the last."

He closed the screen.

He knew what that meant.

[Back to Present – Rift Zone]

Hui’er summoned black flames, wings snapping open. "Get behind me—whatever that is, I’ll fight it."

Chen Yu shook his head slowly.

"You can’t fight it," he murmured. "It’s not a person. It’s... the system itself."

Ruxue’s eyes trembled. "Then we run! We escape! There has to be another—"

"There’s not."

Chen Yu raised his hand. The Chaos around him surged, but flickered violently. It wasn’t listening to him anymore. It was... scared.

"Warning: Universal Correction Inbound.Final Choice Required."

The being extended a hand, and a circle of light expanded across the battlefield. All of Chen Yu’s teammates staggered back, unable to cross the invisible boundary.

Only he remained inside.

Only he was meant to be judged.

[Final System Prompt]Option 1: Submit Chaos. Be erased peacefully.Option 2: Resist. Outcome: Total Annihilation. Legacy lost. Memories removed. World rebooted.

Chen Yu stared at it for a long time.

Then turned toward his team.

[Last Moments – Inside the Circle]

Azrael slammed into the invisible wall. "Chen Yu—don’t you dare!"

Meiyun banged her fists against the light barrier. "You made us a promise—we live together, or we die together!"

Hui’er’s voice cracked. "You belong to me. You’re not allowed to go!"

Ruxue’s knees gave out, her eyes filled with tears. "I just wanted to stand beside you... one more day..."

Roman growled, punching the ground with enough force to shatter it. "LET HIM OUT!"

Chen Yu finally spoke, voice low, almost calm.

"You all broke your limits for me. Lived for me. Bled for me. That’s why..."

His eyes glowed with faint sorrow. "That’s why I’m the one who has to end this."

[Flashback – His First Day With the System]

When the Ultimate Experience System awakened, he thought he’d won the lottery.

He was weak, betrayed, reborn — and the system gave him power. Skills. Money. Control.

But it had never been about growth.

It was always leading him here.

To this choice.

[Present – Time Remaining: 60 Seconds]

The divine being raised its hand higher.

Reality shivered.

Stars began dimming. The Upper Realm cracked.

"Chen Yu. Choose."

He took one breath, then placed his hand on the system screen.

Option Selected: RESIST.

Warning: You will be erased. All memory of you will vanish.

Your story will not be told.

No one will remember.

He smiled.

"Doesn’t matter. I’ll remember. Until I’m gone."

He looked at his team, frozen in despair beyond the light wall.

"I’m sorry," he whispered. "Thank you... for everything."

The Chaos within him exploded, merging with the divine law.

A new window opened.

Final Rewrite Permission: Granted.

Target: Chen YuEffect: Delete anomalySub-effect: Restore system stabilityCompensation: Peace for the world

Proceed?

Chen Yu pressed YES.

[Instant: Oblivion]

A blinding white column swallowed him whole.

There was no scream.

No blood.

Just silence.

And then—

Nothing.

[Upper Realm – Three Hours Later]

The battle was over.

The divine rift had sealed itself.

The being had vanished. The sky was whole.

The Constellation Vanguard stood alone. Alive.

But something was missing.

Someone.

Someone important.

Someone... they couldn’t quite remember.

Meiyun stared at her bow. "Why... does it feel like I lost something?"

Azrael sat down in silence, hands trembling.

Roman pounded his fists against the stone again and again. "There was someone with us. I know it!"

Hui’er looked at the stars. "I feel hollow... like my soul was torn open."

Ruxue closed her eyes, whispering, "What was his name...?"

No answer came.

[Elsewhere – Unknown Realm Beyond Death]

A spark floated in void.

A voice echoed.

"Chen Yu. You chose to vanish."

"But something remains."

A fragment of Chaos twisted, curled — then dimmed.

[One Year Later – Peace Era Year 1]

The world was different.

The Twilight Reign Sect was gone.

The Upper Realm had stabilized. Factions stopped warring. Even anomaly zones stopped expanding.

The system interface simplified. No more chaos corruption. No more random rewrites. A strange peace had settled.

But within that peace... something stirred.

In a remote forest, a child drew stars in the dirt and asked his mother, "Who do you think saved us all?"

She smiled and shook her head. "No one knows. Maybe it was fate."

But the child paused.

"No," he whispered. "I think it was someone real. Someone... like a hero who broke the rules."

The wind rustled the trees.

And for a moment... the stars twinkled like they remembered.

[Hidden System Archive – Forbidden Layer Accessed]

One entry remained in the Core Logs.

It blinked red, unstable:

FILE_NAME: [C_h_e_n__Y_u]

Status: DeletedImpact: PermanentRisk Level: UnquantifiableCause of Deletion: Voluntary SacrificeRestoration: DeniedMemory Recovery: Blocked

Yet beneath the logs, a single error line persisted:

"He broke the design."

[Epilogue: The Unwritten Legend]

They never spoke his name.

There were no statues.

No stories.

But the world carried a stillness — a sacredness — as if something powerful had once walked among them.

Something that shouldn’t have existed... but did.

And saved them all.

Final Message (Hidden System Text – Never Meant to Be Seen):

"I chose chaos... so they could live.

Even if the system forgets me,

I will never forget them."

— C.Y.
