"Did you honestly think that keeping this from me would make me stay?" I replied, my words spilling out in a mix of frustration and sorrow. "Ava, I trusted you completely, and I thought you would do the same. But now, I can't even think freely when you're around, and it suffocates me. You know everything about me, even the things I've never shared. It feels like you can hear my thoughts, and it's unnerving." My voice broke, betraying the hurt I felt. I was exposed, stripped down to my core, and the thought of standing next to my girlfriend in this vulnerable state was unbearable. She was not just my partner; she was my everything—my sister, my best friend, my lover.

What would you do if a ROB (Random Omnipotent Being) were to grant you one wish with no strings attached? You don’t have three wishes, just one. So you have to make it count. And oh, you can’t make exaggerated wishes like “Having omnipotence stronger than the ROB’s,” “Killing the ROB,” etc. Faced with that scenario, Kaiden was skeptical about whether it was true or not. However, none of that was his problem, as he had nothing to lose. After pondering for a while, Kaiden thought of the best wish a person like him, encountering such a situation, could make. “If I’m only granted one wish, can I get my personal sandbox world where I’m the omnipotent being, with its size being as huge and vast as your omniverse?” After having his wish granted by the ROB, Kaiden realized the Ultimate Escapism. Since he was the Omnipotent Being in his omniverse-sized personal sandbox world, he could literally create and realize all of his fantasies! Feeling lonely? Kaiden could create any waifus he had fantasized about. Feeling edgy? Kaiden created several multiverses in his sandbox world and then destroyed them with a wave of his hand! Wanting to feel the protagonist experience? Faced with that question, Kaiden decided to experience the worlds he created with his powers “sealed.” Whatever the scenario—whether it was as a survivor in a zombie apocalypse world, the young master of the Peng Clan in a cultivation world, or the summoned hero in a demon king vs. hero fantasy world—they all could be realized! This was Kaiden’s personal sandbox world in creative mode, where all his fantasies could be experienced and become reality!

Jason Carter always believed he was destined for mediocrity. His death was as unremarkable as his life—a freak accident that left no mark behind. But death is only the beginning. Jason awakens in a futuristic universe brimming with colossal megacities, interstellar travel, and worlds dominated by beings with superpowers, or Aspects. From the fiery strength of Solar Titans to the mind-bending abilities of Cerebrants, every individual is born with an Aspect—a manifestation of their core essence. In this world, power determines your worth. The weak are crushed. The strong rise to rule. Jason soon discovers that he, too, has an Aspect. But it’s not what anyone expects. Unlike most, Jason’s ability defies logic and categorization. It allows him to mimic and evolve the powers of beings he knew were fictional. Thrust into the harsh arena of survival, where warlords, bounty hunters, and galactic tyrants vie for supremacy, Jason quickly realizes that knowledge is power, and power is survival. As he carves a name for himself, Jason begins to uncover chilling truths about the origin of the Aspects and the universe itself. Each power has a price and the collectors were watching, waiting. With the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance, Jason must rise beyond his limits and become something far more than a man with a stolen power. He must become the Ascendant, a force strong enough to challenge gods themselves. But in a universe built on power, Jason knows one truth above all: "Adapt. Survive. Conquer."

Intentional or unintentional, I don't want anyone touching what's mine, do you understand?," he whispered the last sentence in her ears, while running his thumb on her lips.
