The Void's System-Chapter 17: Storage space

Zane stood in the silence of the scorched clearing, the Voidforged Blade—no, the End Blade—still humming with residual energy. The air around him shimmered faintly with lingering power.

Then, the system's voice returned, calm and resonant:

> [System Notice: Unique Item Detected – End Blade] [Warning: The End Blade emits unstable void signatures.] [To avoid detection by high-tier entities, item must be stored safely.]

Zane blinked. "Wait, what kind of entities?"

> [New Feature Unlocked: Personal Storage Space] [Description: A dimensional pocket linked to the user. Accessible instantly. Capacity increases with level.]

Before he could respond, a small void ripple opened beside him—a glowing tear in space. Instinctively, he reached out, and the End Blade dissolved into motes of violet light, flowing into the rift.

> [End Blade stored successfully.]

The rift sealed with a soft whump, and the pressure that had filled the air instantly faded.

Zane let out a slow breath. "Okay. That... was a thing."

He glanced around. The students were still recovering at the edges of the crater, dazed and stunned. But none of them dared approach.

> [Reminder: You are being watched.] [Recommendation: Evacuate area.]

Zane's eyes narrowed. "Of course I am."

With a flick of his hand, he activated Voidwalk—one last pulse of energy—and vanished from the clearing, leaving only the aftermath of destruction and a lingering question in the minds of everyone who saw what he had become.
