Calian and his companions made the ultimate sacrifice, giving up everything they held dear to make the pact with the light. But as they lay dying, Calian had a strange sensation wash over him. It was as if everything he had experienced was just a dream.
He opened his eyes and found himself sitting in front of a computer screen. He realized that he had been playing a dark fantasy video game all along. He had been so immersed in the game that he had forgotten that it was just a virtual reality.
As he sat there, reflecting on his journey, he felt a sense of disappointment. He had grown so attached to the characters and the world that he had created, and the thought of it being just a game was a bitter pill to swallow.
But as he looked at the screen, he noticed that the game had a "New Game" option. He couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as he realized that he could start the journey all over again.
He knew that the sacrifices he had made and the experiences he had gained would stay with him, and he could use them to make a better ending in his next playthrough. He also knew that he was going to make different choices, explore new paths and maybe even find a way to truly defeat the darkness and save the kingdom.
As the chapter ends, Calian clicks the "New Game" button, ready to embark on a new journey, determined to find the true ending of the game, and maybe even find a way to break the cycle of the darkness.
