Transmigrating to Modern Earth from the Future-Chapter 84: The end of the tutorial

As Lumen lay unconscious at the summit of the colossal mountain, his friends, Qu Quan, Will, and Jake, were resting at the base of the mountain. The announcement of the final boss’s defeat rang out through the tutorial, echoing across the vast landscape, reaching every participant who was still alive.

[Announcement! Announcement! The Apex Mountain Guardian has been defeated! Congratulations to challenger Lumen for his victory over the final boss of the tutorial!]

The news rippled through the group, and their faces lit up with a mixture of awe and relief. They had witnessed Lumen’s determination and single-minded pursuit of knowledge and power, and now it seemed that he had achieved his goal.

Qu Quan was the first to speak, a grin spreading across her face. "I knew he could do it! Lumen always had that fire in him, that drive to seek the unknown. He’s one of a kind."

Will nodded, his eyes filled with pride. "He risked everything for his goal, and it paid off. I just hope he’s okay up there."

Jake, the most reserved of the three, couldn’t help but crack a smile. "Lumen’s always been a bit reckless, but he gets the job done. He’s a true hunter."

Their conversation was filled with admiration and respect for their friend. Lumen’s relentless pursuit of knowledge and power had driven him to face unimaginable challenges, and now he had emerged victorious.

But amidst their joy, a hint of sadness lingered. They knew that Lumen had chosen a path of solitude, one that often led him into dangerous situations. They couldn’t help but worry about the risks he had taken and the sacrifices he had made.

As they gazed up at the summit of the colossal mountain, where their friend lay unconscious but triumphant, they couldn’t help but wonder what secrets he had uncovered and what challenges he had faced. Lumen had achieved his goal, but at what cost?

With the final boss defeated and their friend’s fate uncertain, Qu Quan, Will, and Jake were left with a mix of emotions. They knew that their journey within the tutorial was nearing its end, and whatever awaited them beyond the tutorial’s boundaries, one thing was certain: their experiences in this virtual world had forged a bond that would last a lifetime.

In the vast plain beyond the colossal mountain, Michael, the self-proclaimed leader of a rival group, stood surrounded by his lackeys and underlings. They had been relentless in their pursuit of power and dominance within the tutorial, often clashing with Lumen’s group. Michael’s eyes were filled with a mix of arrogance and ambition as he revelled in the power he had accumulated.

[Announcement! Announcement! The Apex Mountain Guardian has been defeated! Congratulations to challenger Lumen for his victory over the final boss of the tutorial!]

The announcement echoed across the plain, reaching Michael and his followers. As the name of the one who defeated the boss was revealed, a hush fell over the group, and even Michael’s expression wavered.

"Lumen," one of Michael’s lackeys muttered in disbelief, his voice tinged with a hint of fear. This person was one of the original ten who had witnessed what Lumen and his group could do when they were pursued.

Michael himself felt a shiver run down his spine. He had clashed with Lumen’s group only once throughout the tutorial, and yet he knew firsthand the determination and strength that Lumen possessed. The fact that Lumen had defeated the final boss was not just a surprise; it was a revelation of the true extent of his power.

For a moment, doubt gnawed at the edges of Michael’s confidence. He had considered Lumen and his friends as mere rivals, but now he realised that he had made a powerful enemy—one who could achieve the seemingly impossible.

As the weight of the announcement settled in, Michael’s ambitious gaze turned contemplative. Lumen’s name was now associated with victory, and that fact was impossible to ignore. The dynamics within the tutorial had shifted, and Michael couldn’t help but wonder what challenges lay ahead with a formidable adversary like Lumen on the playing field.

With a slight frown and a newfound respect mixed with trepidation, Michael turned to his group. "Prepare yourselves," he said, his voice tinged with an edge of caution. "We have a new challenge ahead, and it seems we’re not the only ones aiming for the top."

The once-confident leader now faced an uncertain future within the tutorial, one where the balance of power had shifted, and a powerful adversary loomed on the horizon.

Soon after Lumen’s defeat over the apex mountain guardian was announced, more notifications rang out throughout the tutorial, this time different from the celebratory announcement of Lumen’s victory.

[Announcement! Due to the defeat of the Apex Mountain Guardian, the tutorial has come to an early end! All surviving participants will be transported out of the tutorial in ten minutes. Congratulations on your completion of the tutorial!]

The announcement reverberated throughout the tutorial, reaching the ears of every surviving participant. Shock, relief, and excitement rippled through the various groups and individuals as the realisation set in. The long and arduous journey within the tutorial had come to an unexpected end.

For some, it was a triumphant moment, a culmination of their efforts and sacrifices. For others, it was a bittersweet conclusion, leaving behind the challenges and comrades they had grown accustomed to. But regardless of their emotions, all knew that they were about to return to the real world.

As the countdown to their departure began, participants hurriedly gathered their belongings and exchanged last-minute words with friends and allies. The tutorial had been a transformative experience for many, and the memories of their trials and victories would linger long after their return.

The tutorial’s early end marked the beginning of a new Chapter for each participant, one where the skills, knowledge, and experiences gained within the tutorial would shape their futures. The countdown continued, and the world of the tutorial prepared to fade away, returning its survivors to the reality they had temporarily left behind.

However, unbeknownst to them, they wouldn’t be returning to the real world quite yet...
