Chapter 10 – Breaking the Chains of Fate
James had uncovered the truth.
His world was just one of 8 billion parallel realities, each controlled by Higher Beings. But his world was broken—a malfunctioning system, abandoned and left to loop endlessly.
He refused to accept that fate.
If his world was just code in a grand machine…
Then he would rewrite it.

The Plan to Sever Reality
James spent thousands of loops studying the underlying mechanics of reality.
He reverse-engineered the glitch that caused the loop.
He mapped out the connection points linking his world to the other 8 billion.
He built a theoretical framework to detach his world—to make it real, independent, and untouchable.
But one question remained:
Would the Higher Beings allow it?

A Confrontation with the Architects
On Loop 1,050,000, James reached the Boundary again.
This time, he wasn't here to observe.
He was here to tear it down.
As he approached, reality trembled.
A voice boomed in his mind.
"You are not permitted to proceed."
James smirked. "Who's going to stop me?"
The air shattered like glass.
And then—they appeared.
The Higher Beings.
Their forms were indescribable, shifting between light, shadow, and something beyond human comprehension.
"Your world is a mistake," they said. "It was meant to be discarded."
James clenched his fists. "Not anymore."

Detaching the World
James activated his plan.
He had embedded a quantum disruption sequence into the very fabric of reality—a fail-safe that, when triggered, would sever his world from the parallel network.
The Higher Beings tried to stop him.
They sent **distortions, anomalies, paradoxes—**anything to corrupt his mind, to overwrite his will.
But James had spent a million loops preparing for this.
He had mastered everything.
Physics, consciousness, existence itself.
With one final command, he executed the detachment sequence.

Rebirth
The universe shook.
The sky fractured.
For a brief moment, James saw everything.
The infinite chains binding his world to the network.
The countless other worlds, continuing their programmed cycles.
The Higher Beings, watching in horror as one of their creations broke free.
And then—
Silence.

The First True Day
James opened his eyes.
It was morning.
But something was different.
For the first time in a million loops…
The day wasn't resetting.
The loop was gone.
His world was no longer part of the system.
No Higher Beings. No forced fate. No unseen hands controlling reality.
For the first time, James had a future.
A real, independent world—his alone.
