Su Yue immediately yelled.
"TRAITOR!"
Shen Tian laughed.
Some things never changed.
The wedding was beautiful.
Not absurd.
Not royal.
Not filled with celebrities despite plenty attending.
Jiang Feng wanted something simple.
Outdoor venue.
Family.
Friends.
Windfall members.
Former teammates.
Even Chen Hao attended.
Shen Tian stood among the guests.
Su Yue beside him.
Chi Lingxi and the others nearby.
Jiang Feng waited at the front.
For once...
He looked genuinely nervous.
Shen Tian walked over before the ceremony.
"Captain."
Jiang Feng looked toward him.
Then laughed.
"You haven’t called me that in years."
"Special occasion."
Jiang Feng adjusted his suit.
"...Do I look nervous?"
"Terrified."
"Thanks."
"You’re welcome."
Jiang Feng sighed.
Then...
He looked toward Shen Tian.
"Crazy, isn’t it?"
"What?"
"Everything."
He smiled.
"Titan kicked me."
"I thought my career was over."
"Then Eternal Realm came out."
"I met Moon."
"Met Maple."
"Met you."
"Made Windfall."
He looked around.
"And now..."
"I’m getting married."
Shen Tian smiled.
"Worked out."
"Yeah."
Jiang Feng became quiet.
Then...
"Thanks."
Shen Tian sighed.
"You still say that too much."
"Get used to it."
"Never."
Jiang Feng laughed.
Music began.
His expression changed.
He looked forward.
Lin Xiaoyu appeared.
White dress.
Brown hair styled beautifully.
Hazel eyes already tearing up.
Jiang Feng froze.
Shen Tian noticed.
Then smiled.
"I’m leaving."
Jiang Feng barely heard him.
His entire attention...
Was on her.
Lin Xiaoyu reached him.
She smiled through tears.
"Captain."
Jiang Feng laughed softly.
"Maple."
And...
They married.
No Fate notification appeared.
No golden light.
No system reward.
No destiny event.
Nothing.
Because Jiang Feng wasn’t a protagonist anymore.
This wasn’t Heaven arranging his perfect ending.
It wasn’t a reward for suffering.
It wasn’t an opportunity written into his destiny.
It was simply...
His life.
The life he’d built after Fate stopped controlling it.
And somehow...
That made it better.
At the reception...
Lin Xiaoyu threw the bouquet.
Su Yue caught it.
Silence.
She stared.
Everyone stared.
Then...
Very slowly...
Su Yue looked toward Shen Tian.
Shen Tian looked toward the bouquet.
Then her.
Her face became red.
Bai Xue started laughing.
Chi Lingxi covered her mouth.
Ling Shuangxue smiled.
Shen Yan’s expression became terrifying.
Yin Suyi immediately looked toward her son.
Su Yue pointed at everyone.
"Nobody say anything."
Lin Xiaoyu screamed from across the room.
"YOU’RE NEXT!"
Su Yue’s face exploded red.
"XIAOYU!"
Jiang Feng laughed.
Shen Tian smiled.
Then...
He took Su Yue’s hand.
She looked toward him.
Her embarrassment softened.
He squeezed gently.
She smiled.
And held tighter.
Late that evening...
After most guests had left...
Shen Tian stood outside.
The night was quiet.
Xu Ning appeared beside him.
She looked toward the reception hall.
Jiang Feng and Lin Xiaoyu were dancing inside.
[Host.]
"Hm?"
[Do you regret taking his Fate?]
Shen Tian looked through the window.
Jiang Feng laughed as Lin Xiaoyu stepped on his foot.
She apologized.
He teased her.
She hit his shoulder.
Normal.
Happy.
Shen Tian smiled.
"No."
Xu Ning tilted her head.
"Look at him."
"He didn’t need it."
Xu Ning became quiet.
Then...
She smiled.
[You’re right.]
A system screen appeared.
Former Target
Jiang Feng
Fate Value: 0
Status: Ordinary Human
Occupation: Retired Professional Player / Windfall Founder
Relationship Status: Married
Threat Level: None
Narrative Status: Complete
Shen Tian stared at the final line.
Complete.
Not dead.
Not ruined.
Not humiliated.
Complete.
He had taken everything Heaven intended to give Jiang Feng...
And somehow...
Jiang Feng had built a good life anyway.
Shen Tian closed the panel.
"Goodbye, protagonist."
Xu Ning looked toward him.
[Friend?]
Shen Tian smiled.
"Unfortunately."
From inside...
Jiang Feng shouted.
"SHEN!"
Shen Tian looked over.
Jiang Feng pointed.
"GET IN HERE!"
Lin Xiaoyu waved.
Su Yue stood beside them.
Shen Tian laughed.
"Coming."
He started walking.
Then...
Xu Ning suddenly stopped.
Her expression changed.
Shen Tian noticed.
"What?"
No response.
"Xu Ning?"
Her eyes glowed gold.
A notification appeared.
Not Jiang Feng.
Something new.
[Ding!]
Previous Protagonist Arc Complete.
Scanning world Fate...
Shen Tian stopped.
Golden lines spread across Xu Ning’s interface.
Thousands.
Millions.
Then...
One became brighter.
Far brighter.
Xu Ning’s expression became serious.
[Host.]
Shen Tian looked toward the screen.
"What did you find?"
The system loaded.
New High-Level Fate Target Detected
Identity: Unknown
Location: Unknown
Protagonist Type: Analyzing...
Fate Value: Calculating...
The number flickered.
50,000
100,000
250,000
Shen Tian’s smile disappeared slightly.
It kept climbing.
500,000
Xu Ning’s eyes widened.
Shen Tian stared.
The number continued.
Then...
The system abruptly stopped calculating.
ERROR
Target Fate exceeds current detection threshold.
Silence.
Shen Tian looked toward Xu Ning.
She looked back.
Then...
A slow smile appeared across Shen Tian’s face.
"Well."
Xu Ning sighed.
[Here we go again.]
Inside the wedding hall...
Su Yue shouted.
"SHEN TIAN!"
He looked toward her.
She stood beside Jiang Feng and Lin Xiaoyu.
Waiting.
Smiling.
His friends.
His family.
His life.
Shen Tian looked back toward the unfinished system panel.
Then closed it.
"Tomorrow."
Xu Ning blinked.
[What?]
"Whatever protagonist that is..."
He turned toward the wedding.
"...can wait until tomorrow."
Xu Ning stared.
Then smiled.
[You’ve changed.]
Shen Tian laughed.
"Don’t get sentimental."
[Too late.]
He returned to the reception.
Su Yue immediately grabbed his arm.
"What took you so long?"
"Xu Ning."
Su Yue looked toward the invisible system’s general direction.
"Tell her you’re busy."
Xu Ning appeared beside Shen Tian.
[She can’t hear me, but tell her that’s rude.]
Shen Tian laughed.
"No."
Su Yue narrowed her eyes.
"What did she say?"
"Nothing."
"Shen Tian."
He smiled.
Then...
He kissed her forehead.
She immediately forgot the question.
Jiang Feng saw.
"Disgusting."
Lin Xiaoyu stared at him.
"You literally married me today."
"Different."
"How?"
"It just is."
She hit his arm.
Everyone laughed.
And for one night...
There were no protagonists.
No villains.
No Fate.
No Heavenly opportunities.
No systems to exploit.
Just...
Friends celebrating the end of one story.
Jiang Feng had started as a discarded professional player...
Destined to rise again and stand at the very top of the world.
Instead...
He became something far less extraordinary.
A successful player.
A respected captain.
A guild founder.
A husband.
A friend.
Ordinary.
And happy.
His protagonist story... Was over.
