He was flipping through a thick ancient book in his hands. The edges of the pages were worn, as if it had been read and thought about countless times.

"Romans, are you really going to do this?" Emily approached, her voice full of anxiety. Her long hair fluttered in the wind, setting off her pretty face.

Romans raised his head and looked at her firmly. "This is my only choice, Emily. My life has come to an end, and this advanced meditation method can help my soul transcend."

Emily frowned, feeling uneasy. "But the price of life is too high! Are you sure it's worth it?"

"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me to decide." Romance's tone gradually calmed down. "I have seen the uncertainty of life and death. Since I can't save my life, at least I hope to use this last chance to gain a deeper understanding."

Emily's heart ached, and she reached out her hand, trying to hold Romance. "But...is your life really a failure? We still have a lot of unfinished business and many good memories. Don't you want to stay a little longer?"

Romans smiled slightly, and the fatigue on his face seemed to be smoothed out in an instant. "I don't have much time left in this world, Emily. I hope to pass on my experience to the future, rather than being forgotten." He pointed to the ancient book in his hand, "This book records countless unique skills, and meditation is one of the best. It can help people break free from the flesh and realize a higher existence."

"But isn't the price of this meditation method your soul?" Emily's voice trembled, tears flashing in her eyes, "Are you willing to exchange your life for this? Aren't you afraid of disappearing from this world forever?"

"I don't care anymore, Emily." There was a hint of helplessness in Romance's voice. "Perhaps my existence in this world has already become a burden. I don't want to drag anyone down, especially you."

Hearing this, Emily's heart felt like it was torn apart. She shook her head vigorously, tears streaming down her face. "I won't allow you to say that! I will stay with you, we can face everything together, I will never let you go!"

“That’s enough, Emily!” Romance suddenly stood up, his tone becoming stern. “This is not my personal choice, but the direction of my destiny. I can’t let you get involved in danger. You should continue to live and find your own happiness.”

Emily was stunned, unable to stop her tears. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice firm: "I will never give up on you! If this is your choice, I will stand by you until the last moment."

"It's my own decision after all." Romance sat down again, his face showing helplessness and determination. "However, since you are willing to accompany me, I am no longer a lonely traveler."

At this moment, the wind on the top of the mountain became even more fierce, as if foreshadowing the upcoming changes. Emily held Romance's hand, feeling the slight warmth, "Then how should we perform this ceremony?"

Romans held her hand tightly, and the warmth in his heart slightly alleviated his fear at this moment. "I need to combine the spells in this book on a specific full moon night to complete the inheritance of the meditation method." He paused and continued, "And I hope you can be my witness to ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Emily nodded, "I will. No matter what happens, I will never leave your side."

Romance took a deep breath, as if to muster up his courage. "Then, we will decide to perform the ritual on this full moon night. Please remember that my soul will travel through this world to explore a wider existence."

As time went by, the full moon night finally arrived. The bright moonlight in the sky sprinkled on the two people, adding a mysterious color to this solemn moment. Romance placed the ancient book on a flat rock on the top of the mountain, and surrounded it with dry branches to make a small circle, which looked particularly sacred.

"Are you ready?" Emily's voice trembled, full of unknown and fear about the future.

Romance slowly closed his eyes, his expression gradually becoming peaceful. "Everything is ready. No matter what happens, I hope you can stay calm and remember the oath we made to each other."

"I will never leave." Emily clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.

“Close your eyes, feel the tranquility, and follow my guidance.” Romanth slowly began to recite the spell from the ancient book. His voice seemed to come from the distant future, echoing in the air around him.

As he spoke, the breeze began to dance gently, and the moonlight became brighter, illuminating the entire mountaintop. Emily felt the temperature around her gradually drop, and her heartbeat became more rapid. She stared at Romance, her heart full of mixed emotions.

At this moment, an inexplicable atmosphere floated in the air, as if time had frozen at this moment. Romans's breath gradually became stable, and his body began to emit a soft light, like a star rising into the sky.

"Emily, remember me, no matter where I am, my soul will always be with you." Romance's voice echoed in the air and was gradually blown away by the wind, leaving only a gentle chant.

The air was filled with mysterious energy, and Emily felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She shouted desperately, "Romans, don't go!"

However, at that moment, Romance's figure gradually blurred from her sight, as if the light was attracting his soul to leave this world. Emily's tears could not stop flowing, she raised her hand to grab him, but found that she was powerless.
