(Final Trial, Part 2 — THE REWRITE PATH)
00:00:00
I chose the red orb.
Rage. Rewrite. Rebirth.
As my fingers closed around it, a fire ignited in my chest—not hot like flame, but raw, wild, algorithmic.My thoughts split into a thousand parallel threads.
I saw time stretch out before me.
Not just mine—everyone's.
Elya as a child, staring at a sky she didn't believe in.
Jonah playing piano before the System erased his song.
Purifiers praying to machines they didn't understand.
Humanity, waiting for a messiah… or a reset.
And for a moment, I became all of them.
[REWRITE PATH CONFIRMED]You have chosen to overwrite the existing code of reality.Architect Protocol Engaged.Warning: All current laws—magic, death, memory—are now variables in your control.Memory cost: Selfhood.Emotion cost: Fixed.
I stood on the edge of the world.
Beneath me, skyscrapers peeled into cascading code like collapsing cities in a dream.
Above me, stars blinked in new constellations—spell diagrams written across the galaxy.
The throne was gone. The Soul Weaver had bowed.Even the System... waited.
A single prompt hovered in the void.
[COMMAND LINE ACTIVE]Please input your first line of rewritten code:
I raised my hand. The ∆ rune now pulsed with steady red light.
And I spoke—not in magic, not in speech, but in law.
"// No more erasure."
The world shifted.
Echoes were no longer condemned to fade.They became guides, fragments of old wisdom in a new realm.
"// Magic obeys will, not birthright."
The bloodline barriers shattered. The magicless awoke screaming—reborn with power.
"// The System serves. It does not rule."
And the System... bowed.
The countdown was gone.
The game was over.
[WORLD REWRITE COMPLETE]New Architect: REN ISHIKAWATitle Gained: The Last Bug, The First GodAll soul fragments reabsorbed.Memory access: Locked. Identity dissolved.
Final message:
Would you like to remember who you were?
YesNo
I hovered over it.
And I chose:
No.
And in that final moment—Ren Ishikawa died.
And the world took its first breath… rewritten.
