Echo lowered his hand.
The battlefield was silent.
The war was over.
No, it was more than that.
No one would ever challenge him again.
Because there was no one left who could.
Echo turned his gaze to the horizon.
A world without war.
A world without rulers.
A world without limits.
He had achieved everything.
He had surpassed every warrior in history.
He had unlocked a level of existence no one had even dreamed of.
And yet…
Something was missing.
A feeling he couldn't quite place.
A hollow sensation in his chest.
He had everything.
So why did it feel like… nothing?
Power was supposed to be the answer.
But instead, it had left him with more questions.
If there was no one left to fight…
If there was nothing left to conquer…
Then what was his purpose now?
For the first time in his life, Echo had no answer.
And that
More than any battle, more than any enemy
Frightened him.
Because for the first time, he had to ask himself
What comes after the peak?
