The world around Ryan faded, replaced by a misty white void.
Confusion clouded his mind as he tried to make sense of his surroundings.
Then, he saw a figure approaching through the mist - himself, but not quite.
This version of Ryan radiated an aura of power and confidence that seemed almost foreign.
"You're holding back," his other self said, his voice echoing strangely in the void.
Ryan frowned, studying his doppelganger. "What do you mean?I gave everything I had in that fight."
The other Ryan shook his head, a sad smile playing on his lips. "No, you didn't. You're still thinking like a human, limiting yourself to what you believe is possible."
"But I am human," Ryan protested, a hint of frustration in his voice.
"You were human," his other self corrected gently. "Now, you're so much more. The Spirit King isn't just a title, Ryan. It's who you are, who we are."
