Chapter 10 - Chapter 10 – The New Racer

The sun rose slow and heavy, burning gold across the horizon.The world shimmered — not digital, not real. Something in between.

The Eternal Road stretched for miles, a living scar of light winding through deserts, forests, and city ruins that breathed faintly with energy.

Dust swirled. Engines whispered in the distance.

And then — a sound.

Faint.Raw.A cough of ignition.

A small black coupe rolled out of the mist. Matte finish. No markings. No glow. Just silence and motion.

Its systems flickered weakly, half-fried by something old — fragments of the previous world.

[Rebooting…][System: Corrupted.][Driver Memory: Fragmented.]

The headlights blinked to life, dim and unsure.Then — a voice.Soft. Human.

"Where… am I?"

Static answered.

The car's sensors pinged faint signals across the empty land. For a moment, it caught a trace — two energy patterns, long faded, still echoing through the code of this new world.

Rai.Kai.

Legends.

[Data Fragment Found: "The Road That Never Ends."]

The driver — whoever or whatever they were — hesitated. The wind carried faint voices, laughter, and the echo of engines long gone.

They looked at the road ahead — infinite, bright, alive.

"So this is it…"

The coupe revved once. Weak, broken, but determined.

"Let's see if it's real."

It rolled forward.The tires hit the golden lines, and instantly, the world responded.

Light rippled beneath its wheels, forming a new track — smooth and endless, stretching toward the horizon where two shadows once disappeared.

[System: Online.][Welcome, New Driver.][Designation Required.]

The voice wasn't mechanical anymore. It was calm. Warm.Almost human.

"Name?"

The driver thought for a moment. A flicker of light danced in the reflection of the rearview mirror — two faint shapes behind him, red and silver.

"Call me… Ace."

[Name Registered: Driver Ace.][World Boundaries Unlocked.][The Eternal Road Awaits.]

He pressed the accelerator.

The engine screamed.The light burst.And the coupe vanished into the endless golden horizon, leaving behind only dust and the faint hum of the System watching — not controlling, not guiding.

Just… watching.

Far above, in the glow of morning clouds, two streaks of light flickered for a heartbeat — red and silver, side by side.

Rai's voice echoed faintly across the wind.

"Let's see if he can finish what we started."

Then they faded — not gone, just beyond sight.

The world continued.The road kept building itself, endless and alive.A story reborn.
