As the final blow was delivered to Kyogo, Zaryl sat, her head in her hands as she sobbed. Sure, she had defeated the Mythical Dragon Kyogo. Who was the secret final boss, but did she achieve anything at all? The answer was no.
Although Kyogo was dead, so was everyone who fought alongside her, so was everyone on Earth. Nobody had survived to clear floor 9999 with her.
The small and weak-hearted 17 year old that had started this journey 6 years ago hadn't yet matured, yet was thrown into this hell and could only survive by shutting and ignoring all her emotions. Being cold to even herself, however what should've relieved her, what should've given her great pride, had been the breaking point in which she couldn't hold her emotions back any longer.
Zaryl screamed out in misery, her voice breaking as she continued sobbing, cursing and crying uncontrollably. What was she fighting for? Her comrades? Dead. Her family? Dead. Her fellow humans? All dead. The survival of the Earth? It was a barren waste-land with molten lava spewing out everywhere.
After crying and screaming and cursing for 9 straight hours, using her passive skill ultra regeneration to heal her vocal cords when they snapped to continue to scream at max volume, she finally stopped. She wanted to end it all, maybe death was better then this life... But she decided to atleast reach the ten thousandth floor, to honor her fallen comrades...
Zaryl stood up shakily as she approached the loot from Kyogo, multiple Mythic Grades, Legendary Grades, blue-prints, potions, Scrolls of The Ancients, Mystical Fires, Soul Locks and a lot of other extremely valuable and useful items that would be the cause of wars, if humans were still alive that is. Among all the insanely valuable loot, the one thing she actually cared for, or well thought she'd care for was the key to the ten thousandth floor. The final freaking key.
Zaryl grabbed the key silently before heading to the door located behind Krygo's corpse. Multiple of her Ally's corpses were here. This was where Krygo stored his food. Zaryl ignored everything and went to the door, shoving the key into the door, not even aiming at the lock.

Zaryl ignored everything besides the skill, could this be what she thought it was? The system hadn't lied to anyone she knew over the last six years when WERPANG fused with reality. What if this was actually going to work, could she really go six years back in time? That sounded like something straight out of a corny webtoon or novel, but then again, was a strange system descending and destroying all of humanity normal either?
Zaryl immediately tried activating the skill, a white panel appearing Infront of her.
[Inorder To Activate A Skill That Doesn't Belong To The SYSTEM, You Require It's Activation Code]
Zaryl froze, an activation code? Was it a waste of time? Thoughts like these floated in Zaryl's head, however a faint ray of hope remained in her head, maybe the ten thousand floor had the activation code?
With this thought Zaryl impatiently began kicking the gigantic door that led to the ten thousandth floor, annoyed by its slow opening as she wiped her tears.
The door eventually opened as she rushed through it, her insane speed traversed the floor that was twice as big as earth in 12 seconds, maxed out agility was equivalent to the speed of light. The sound barrier couldn't keep up making a Sonic boom as she took every step.
Thoughts of Zaryl's Allies who she lost on the journey here, her friends, her husband, her pets, her rivals and... The one who mattered most to her, her brother.. Her mother was her only family, he had died in the initial launch of WERPANG during the second wave of breachers... If Zaryl was really gonna make it back, she would definitely save her brother his time around, she didn't care about the cost.
Zaryl didn't give a damn about the scenery, teleportation point, the giant celebratory sign saying "YOU MADE IT" or anything else. It was all garbage in her eyes as she jumped into the air to get a better view, noticing a small bit of writing in the distance hidden by trees.
Zaryl teleported towards it using Blink which allowed her to teleport to anywhere in her line of sight, immediately beginning to read the writing out loud.
"Fala sto go prevedovte, bese gubenje vreme, no vi blagodaram" Zaryl's tone showed her excitement, her voice was slightly cold but very very hopeful.
Immediately a notification appeared infront of her.
[You Are Using The One Time Use Skill "Return To The Beginning"]
[Your Tale Has Reached The Ears Of A Shocked Developer.]
The last message confused Zaryl but she didn't give a damn and was just happy at the thought of going back, her draconic tail wagging behind her as she happily felt herself turning to particles.
[You Are Going Back To The Launch Of WERPANG.]
Everything went white, before Zaryl woke up in a familiar yet unfamiliar room, it was her shared room with her brother 6 whole years ago.
