Liam stood atop the world he had just rewritten.
The air hummed with new energy, no longer constrained by the Architects' rigid rules.
This was no longer their System.
It was his.
And now?
He had ten years to prepare for their return.

The First Order: Humanity's Evolution Begins
Xavier leaned against a crumbling pillar, watching Liam with an amused expression.
"So," he mused, "what's your next move, Supreme System Master?"
Liam exhaled, feeling the System pulse beneath his skin.
His mind was connected to everything.
Every System User on Earth. Every broken pathway. Every fragment of suppressed evolution.
He could see it all.
And he knew what had to be done.
> GLOBAL SYSTEM BROADCAST ACTIVATED.
MESSAGE FROM SYSTEM MASTER LIAM CARTER TO ALL USERS.
The entire world froze.
Every **System User, from Level 1 novices to the most powerful elite, heard his voice in their minds.
"The old System is gone. I have taken control."
A collective gasp rippled across the planet.
Liam's voice was calm but absolute.
"You have lived under the rule of a power you never understood. But today, that changes. Today, we take control of our own evolution."
> NEW SYSTEM LAW: EVOLUTION UNLOCKED.
HUMANS CAN NOW GROW BEYOND LEVEL 4.
Across the world, System Users felt it instantly.
A barrier they never knew existed… was gone.
For the first time in history, humans could advance freely.

Recruiting the New Generation of Warriors
Liam turned to Xavier.
"I need to establish a force," he said. "One strong enough to fight when the Architects return."
Xavier smirked.
"You're thinking about the Order of System Masters, aren't you?"
Liam nodded.
"We need leaders. Not just strong individuals, but people who can command and defend humanity."
He lifted his hand, scanning the entire world.

Unlocking the Powers the Architects Feared
Liam wasn't done.
He had access to the entire System now.
And that meant…
He could unlock abilities the Architects had kept hidden for themselves.
> SEARCHING FOR LOCKED ABILITY SETS…
WARNING: ARCHITECT-CLASS SKILLS LOCATED.
ATTEMPTING TO FORCE UNLOCK…
Liam's System trembled violently.
Xavier felt it too. His eyes flickered with rare unease.
"You're trying to force access to Architect-tier skills?"
Liam nodded.
"If we're going to fight them, we need to play at their level."
> ACCESSING ARCHITECT CLASS SKILLS…
RELEASE RESTRICTIONS?
Liam didn't hesitate.
"Do it."
The moment he spoke—his entire body ignited with a force beyond reality.
It was working.
The System was giving him power not meant for mortals.
Xavier watched, expression unreadable.
"You're stepping into something irreversible, Carter. You sure you're ready for this?"
Liam's grin was sharp, unwavering.
"Let's find out."

New Abilities: The Rise of a System God
Liam's body absorbed the incoming power.
> NEW ARCHITECT-CLASS SKILLS UNLOCKED:
1) Reality Restructure (Allows modification of fundamental System laws in real-time.)
2) Temporal Dominion (Manipulate time without paradox restrictions.)
3) System Devourer (Absorb and integrate abilities from defeated enemies.)
4) World Rift Manipulation (Create pathways to higher dimensions.)
5) Architect Erasure (The only ability capable of permanently destroying System Architects.)
Liam exhaled slowly.
His fingers twitched.
This… this was beyond power.
This was control over existence itself.
Xavier let out a low whistle.
"Well, damn. You might actually pull this off."
Liam smirked.
"The Architects aren't ready for what's coming."
Because in ten years, when they returned?
They wouldn't be facing a broken world.
They'd be facing the first human-led System army in history.
And Liam?
He'd be waiting to kill every last one of them.
