Updated Summary: With the creation of different dimensions and universes, came forth intelligent beings. To regulate these dimensions and universes, higher beings took control of containers called UniOrbs. These containers not only regulated the God...
(A/N: Aka, this would be an ethnic cleansing... Please do not condone this as this is actually horrible.)
When peace finally came upon them, Emperor Emeron, or former Emperor, gave his crown to his son, Prince Cecil, and retreated into the background. He finally met his real first-born son, Prince Levi, who changed his name officially to Larson, and they enjoyed getting to know one another.
Prince Larson, the head of the Association, made the Association become the Secret Intelligence Force for the Empire that teamed up with the Shadow Guards. Though after a couple of years, he became the Emperor because Emperor Cecil rebuilt and reformed the Empire for 2 years before retiring.
On the other hand, somewhere down the line, Blaine fell in love and married Prince Zachary. He also became the next Knight Commander and always found the time to come home to his husband, enjoying the many years protecting his homeland with Prince Zachary. Prince Zachary also trained in the art of the sword and still painted. Many believed that he painted with the blood of his enemies.
Princess Serah, the former female protagonist, married a Duke and had a somewhat normal life. She and Lillian, the woman who was supposed to marry the fake Prince Levi, were soon forgotten about.
Former Emperor Cecil was found dead at the grave of his lover and Shadow Guard, Number 18, after completing his goal to become Emperor. In his will, he urged that he must be buried with 18. No one knew how he died. Some speculated that he had killed himself with poison, some said he died due to heartache. Whatever it was, the man who had the shortest time as Emperor was seen as a wise, powerful, and faithful man.
But most importantly, he was known as the most tragic Emperor.
As for Number 1, he could not handle the grief of losing Number 18. Even after getting his revenge, it was not enough. He could not bring Number 18 back from the dead, so he disappeared after resigning as a Shadow Guard. No one else knew where he went, only he and System 225 knew. System 225 let Grey know that Number 1 ended up dying shortly after retiring. Just like God System, he too, died of grief.
[Grey, congratulations on completing the Main Mission: Make the Second Prince Emperor.]
"Idiot... I didn't mean to become Emperor like that and just die afterward." Grey felt his heart shatter as he watched the scene of Cecil being buried right next to him.
[I will go process the energy. Please, take your time and try to relax your mind. As we go further and further, the worlds will become difficult. You must rest to perform your best.]
"Thank you, System..." He couldn't help but replay the scene where Prince Cecil was found dead before finally getting System 225 to turn it off.
Grey collapsed onto the ground where he stood and felt tears at the corner of his eyes. He really messed up this time. The other worlds were so easy that he forgot to keep up his guard.
Arisa, who watched everything that had just happened, walked over to him and sat down next to him. She didn't say anything and patted Grey's back. She didn't have any words to say to him, but she wanted him to know that she was there for him.
During the time that Grey left, she stayed in the System Space to rest or went to easy worlds. She also watched with System 225 about what was going on while Grey was in that world. It was shocking to see him die like that. She had always thought that Grey was this perfect man who couldn't do anything wrong, but she realized how stupid she was for thinking that. No one was perfect. She could see that Grey gave his all and never complained about training or work. It was mostly hard work and determination that got him that far.
Arisa wanted to go to the next world when Grey came back. Even though they weren't able to contribute to getting energy from the worlds, they were able to heal her soul and others to get ready for reincarnation. That was all she could do for the moment.
He was thankful for the comfort, but he still wanted to see God System. They didn't even get to go on their Hot Springs trip...
"In the next world, I will definitely make sure we go on a Hot Springs trip with each other..." Grey mumbled to himself.
'I'm sorry, God System. Please wait for me to come and find you again.'

kuro_kama: I like tragedy so it was all fine until that hot spring trip popped out. I feel like missing someone but I don't know who that is.
Lille: God System just can't live without Grey 😔 On a lighter note, Blaine and Zachary?? Didn't expect it but dang, I'm not complaining—
Grandpa Marky: Also, here's lovely fanart by yiyuehua! She's written Tracing Lines, Mooon Theory, and Petrichor. You can find them on CG, Scribblehub, and some other sites/apps. All of which are BL and her writing is fantastic!
