The Edge of Existence

The air split open like tearing fabric, reality itself fracturing under the power of the Lord of Magic.

From the swirling abyss beyond, something began to emerge.

Something wrong.

Harry's Gamer System flared with red warnings.

WARNING: ENTITY BEYOND CLASSIFICATION DETECTED.

• Threat Level: ???

• Survival Rate: 1%

• Immediate Action Required!

Draco, still clutching his wand with shaking hands, spat out a curse. "What the hell is that?"

Harry didn't answer.

Because he didn't know.

The thing stepping through the rift wasn't just powerful—it was outside of magic itself.

It was… hunger.

Void given form.

The Lord of Magic spoke, their voice layered with a thousand echoes.

"You have defied balance."

"You have broken the laws of existence."

"Now face the consequence."

The entity lifted its head, revealing a face that wasn't a face at all—just endless, swirling darkness, like a black hole in the shape of a human.

Then—

It moved.

The Battle of Gods and Mortals

The creature lunged, its mere presence warping the air, and Harry barely had time to throw up an [Arcane Barrier] before the entire chamber exploded with force.

The ground beneath them collapsed, sending them tumbling through the void.

Harry hit the ground hard, his bones rattling from the impact. Draco landed beside him, groaning.

The Lord of Magic stood above them, watching.

"This is the end of your rebellion."

Harry's hands clenched into fists.

No. Not yet.

His Gamer System activated.

Battle Encounter: Beyond Magic

• Opponent: Entity of the Abyss

• Objective: SURVIVE

• New Ability Suggested: ???

Suggested?

Before Harry could react, something inside him unlocked.

A memory—but not his own.

A Vision of the Past

A battlefield unlike any Harry had ever seen.

Wizards and witches fought with raw magic, not wands—lightning clashing against shadow, the sky burning with unnatural fire.

At the center stood a figure in black and silver, their cloak tattered, their hands glowing with forbidden power.

Mordred.

Harry saw through their eyes, felt their rage.

And then—

The Lords of Magic descended from the sky, surrounding Mordred with their unstoppable might.

"Your time is over."

Mordred laughed.

"Time? I don't need time."

And then—

They became something else.

Magic twisted, bending to their will.

The sky itself ripped apart as Mordred rewrote reality in that moment, bending the very essence of magic around them.

And in the depths of the vision, Harry heard their final words—

"Our magic was never meant to be controlled."

"It was meant to be unleashed."

The Forbidden Awakening

Harry's eyes snapped open, power thrumming through his veins.

His Gamer System reacted immediately.

NEW ABILITY UNLOCKED: [Forbidden Magic: Unleashed]

• You have tapped into the raw, unfiltered power of the First Archmages.

• Effect: All magical constraints are removed for a limited time.

• Warning: This ability defies the laws of reality. Its use will attract… consequences.

Harry didn't hesitate.

He let go.

His magic exploded outward, wild and uncontrolled.

The air burned as reality twisted, magic bending to his will instead of following any law.

The Lord of Magic staggered, their mask cracking further.

Even the entity from the Abyss hesitated, its head tilting slightly, as if sensing something beyond even itself.

Harry stood, the Staff of the First Archmage floating beside him, crackling with raw power.

He was no longer just casting spells.

He was magic.

The Fall of a Lord

Harry raised his hand—

And magic itself obeyed.

The Lord of Magic lifted their own hand to counter—

But it was too late.

Harry's spell wasn't a spell at all.

It was undoing.

The very fabric of the Lord's existence began to unravel, their form flickering, their power failing.

"This… is not possible."

Harry met their gaze.

"You made the rules."

He clenched his fist.

"I just broke them."

The Lord screamed—a soundless, endless cry—as their body collapsed into pure nothingness.

The Abyssal Entity watched, unmoving.

Then, silently, it retreated, slipping back into the rift.

For now.

The battle was over.

The Lords had lost.

For now.

The Aftermath

Harry collapsed, his magic draining away, the forbidden power fading.

Draco was staring at him, his face pale.

"…Potter, what the hell was that?"

Harry didn't answer immediately.

Because in the corner of his vision, his Gamer System was flashing with something new.

Something terrifying.

WARNING: YOU HAVE BEEN MARKED.

• By breaking the fundamental laws of magic, you have drawn the attention of forces beyond this world.

• Entities unknown are now aware of your existence.

• Be prepared.

Harry let out a shaky breath.

The Lords of Magic had been powerful.

But now he knew—they weren't the true rulers of magic.

Something else was.

And it was coming.
