Chapter 6: The Legacy of the Merchant Immortal
With the war won, Akira returned to the Primordial Council, not as a mere member, but as its leader. The council recognized that commerce, when balanced with fairness and innovation, could bring unity to the multiverse.
Akira's Merchant's Haven became the heart of the Universal Nexus, a place where beings from all realms could trade, learn, and grow. He continued to innovate, creating new systems like:
Temporal Trade Routes, allowing exchanges across time.
Soulbound Contracts, ensuring fairness in all deals.
Realm Development Programs, helping struggling worlds rebuild.
Though his journey had been long and fraught with challenges, Akira found fulfillment not in power, but in the connections he forged and the lives he improved.

Epilogue
Eons passed, and Akira's name became a legend. His system evolved into a self-sustaining entity, ensuring the balance of trade across existence.
In the end, Akira chose to step away, leaving the system in the hands of trusted successors. As he walked into the horizon of a new realm, he smiled, knowing that he had left the multiverse better than he found it.
"Commerce is the lifeblood of creation. As long as trade exists, so will I."
