It is enough.

One should not be too greedy, for the chasm of desire can never be filled.

She has gotten what she really wanted.

Lumina slowly closed her eyes.

Finally, a face that did not exist in this world flashed through my mind.

Snapped--

The white cocoon of time suddenly shattered, turning into countless points of light that slowly disappeared before An Ran's eyes.

……

"Now you're all alone."

A soft female voice suddenly sounded beside An Ran.

Yes, she recognized the voice.

She had cursed that voice countless times.

It's you, the narrator who appeared in the public beta trailer.

“Would it be more appropriate to call you Lord of the Rules, or God?” An Ran asked.

"The form of address is not important."

Standing before Anran was "Anran".

But An Ran is no longer An Ran. She has temporarily lost her ability to mimic, and her body is in danger of collapsing at any moment.

Anran said, "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"go ahead."

"Is the world I live in the same as the world inside the Cocoon of Time?"

Anran awaited the answer from the Ruler of Rules.

"The Cocoon of Time can also be a universe."

An Ran shook her head; she didn't want that kind of inspirational answer.

"Or are you the game's administrator?"

The Ruler smiled.

She has a very cute smile.

"That is, after all, 'my' body," An Ran thought.

The Rule Master said, "This is indeed a game I made when I was bored."

Before An Ran could react, she continued, "But this world is also real. You, and those players, are all brought from another universe that exists in the Sea of ​​Origin."

I see.

The Ruler suddenly asked, "What would you have thought if I hadn't said that last sentence?"

An Ran took a deep breath: "It is real to me!"

After a moment of stunned silence, the Ruler of Rules laughed again.

Was it unexpected?

not at all.

"Then let's get straight to the point," said the Ruler.

After sharing our thoughts, shouldn't we get to the main topic?

"This is the last hidden quest reward I'm giving you..."

Waiting quietly and peacefully.

For her, it felt more like a trial.

Ding.

At this moment, An Ran suddenly received a game notification.

She opened her game panel, and what appeared before her was the results screen for the hidden quest "The Gate of Ending".

However, the task rewards that popped up on the interface were completely different from what she had seen at the time.

If she chooses to confirm, her rank will be promoted.

[Divine Realm]

Like the Ether Soul that exists in the Ether God Realm and the Lord of the Void Realm that exists in the Void Realm, Anran can also create her own world.

This world is attached to the universe.

Creating this world means that Anran will have an infinitely long life, like a god, until one day the universe is destroyed by the fluctuations of the Sea of ​​Origin, and she will disappear along with it.

Essentially, the god here is the "rule-restraining force," which suppresses the mischievousness of the beings in this world and prevents them from straying into the Sea of ​​Origin and causing destruction.

The god that An Ran will become after advancing to the next level, let's call him the Lord of Players. The name doesn't matter. What matters is that An Ran will inherit the position of [Game Administrator].

She can decide the framework and rules of the game.

Including version themes, game quests, game events...

These safety measures can all be changed.

"But this isn't necessarily all a good thing, is it?"

Reaching the [Divine Realm] rank means that divinity has completely taken over An Ran's consciousness, and humanity has been erased.

Consciousness remains, but it is now a cold, emotionless consciousness.

This is the truth that Lumina seeks, not the "living" that Anran desires.

She would think about everything before she came to this world, she would miss every little thing about Twin Moon City, she would miss the now drastically changed No. 1886, she would miss every step she took after entering the starry sky...

What she misses most is the "little iron lump" that accompanied her all the way from Twin Moon City.

But by then she will never be able to touch these things again.

How different is this from "death"?

There is no difference for Enron.

Before she came into this world, she was in a state of near-death.

An Ran didn't think for long before the Lord of Rules asked:

So what is your answer?

An Ran smiled and said, "I refuse!"

The Ruler asked again, "Have you considered the consequences of refusing?"

The consequence is that you will have to give up all the power you currently possess, and life will no longer be long.

An Ran knew all of this.

However, living a short life is much better than dying a long one.

Anran will not change her mind.

She firmly stated her position: "I refuse this award!"

"I understand."

The body of the Ruler slowly disappeared before An Ran's eyes.

She asked Anran, "Where do you want to go?"

If I absolutely had to name a place I'd want to go...

"Please take me to Collin's repair shop."

The world began to change.

Anran discovered that her body had returned to normal.

She traveled through distant space and saw the blue planet gradually come into view.

Finally, she stood quietly in front of the counter.

look up.

There was a tightly closed door in front of us.

Anran had a premonition that she would see something.

She hurried over, listened intently, and then slowly raised her hand and placed it on a spot on the door.

dong dong.

That was the echo from a light tap.

Anran felt it; the temperature was the temperature of being alive.

The door was pushed down.

"Ella".

"Eeya".

The smile remained.

An Ran smiled.

She opened her arms and hugged the familiar person.

They embraced tightly.

In a daze, An Ran suddenly noticed a faint Lv227 floating above Ella's head.

grade.

wrong.

Shouldn't she have become an ordinary person by now?
