Tophet

During the course of the book, Tyler continues to play a Video game called Tophet. Whenever there is a problem in his life, he happens to get stuck. Towards the ending of the book, when he finally solves all his problems, he completes the game. 

"And then a new screen popped up. It gave me a choice. I could become the new Lord of Darkness myself, or I could take a gamble and be reincarnated. I chose wisely." Tyler (Page 250)

This is all very symbolic to the choices that Tyler makes in his life. He could either keep living his miserable life, or he could try doing something new and make the best of his life.
