Eternal Reckoning

chapter 22

In the aftermath of their victory against the top guild, GXHunter basked in the glow of accomplishment, their bonds strengthened by shared triumphs and newfound respect among peers. However, amidst the celebrations, an unexpected revelation shook Jae-hyun to his core.

"What in the world..." Jae-hyun muttered, his mind reeling from the sudden surge of power coursing through his veins. The forbidden job's x10,000 power enhancement was not something he had anticipated.

Alfred, ever the sage advisor, approached Jae-hyun with a mix of concern and curiosity. "The forbidden power of jobs... It's not to be taken lightly. What compelled you to unlock such immense potential?"

Jae-hyun, grappling with the overwhelming energies pulsating within him, replied with a mixture of awe and trepidation, "I felt a calling—a need to transcend limits, to protect what we hold dear."

As Jae-hyun contemplated the implications of his newfound power, a new quest appeared in the system window—a challenge that resonated with his sense of duty and adventure: "Defeat the Demon King."

"Hahaha! This is getting interesting," Jack remarked, his eyes glinting with excitement at the prospect of facing such a formidable adversary.

But amidst the preparations and discussions, an unexpected visitor materialized—an enigmatic entity identified as the System Window, an emissary from another world.

"I am a harbinger of warnings and opportunities," the System Window intoned, its presence both mysterious and reassuring. "Your world is on the brink of a convergence—a merging of realms that could spell doom if left unchecked."

Jae-hyun, ever the strategist, considered the implications. "So, this is more than just a game or a battle. It's about preserving our reality."

The System Window nodded solemnly. "I offer you a chance—to transcend boundaries, to become the hero your world needs. Will you accept the mantle of Alex and embark on this journey?"

Lina, her gaze unwavering, spoke for the group, "We stand together, whatever the challenge. Our world, our responsibility."

With resolve in their hearts and the forbidden power coursing through Jae-hyun's veins, GXHunter prepared for a journey that transcended mere victories and rankings—a quest to safeguard not just their world but the very fabric of existence.

"Let the realms converge," Jae-hyun declared, his voice echoing with determination. "We will be the beacon of hope in the face of chaos."

And with that proclamation, the members of GXHunter embraced their destiny, ready to face the unknown with courage, unity, and the forbidden power of their chosen paths.
