The sky was bleeding light.
Jiwoon hovered midair — his wings of black flame cutting through corrupted space like divine blades. Below him, The Overdue bled static and screamed with a thousand stolen voices.
"You are the flaw! You were never supposed to wake the Avatar form!"
Jiwoon didn't respond with words.
He dived.
The first strike landed like a comet — sending shockwaves through the glass-layered world. Each flap of his wings erased corrupted code. Each breath carried truth: this was his system now.
Vera and Kaelya fought to hold the borders, fending off split-code monsters crawling from the cracks.
Kaelya: "He's burning through the system like it's paper…"
Vera: "But he's alone up there."
Kaelya looked up.
"Then maybe it's time we stop just watching."

Meanwhile – Internal System Core
The Overdue began collapsing into tendrils of corrupted code, twisting toward the obsidian heart.
"If I die… I take the origin with me!"
Jiwoon landed before it — eyes glowing red-gold.
He gritted his teeth. "Then I'll rewrite both."
He raised his hands.
[New Skill Unlocked: Sin Rewrite – Domain Break]
Black sigils exploded outward — not as destruction, but as clarity.
Every broken line of code, every distorted scream, every cursed loop was rewritten in Jiwoon's voice.
"You don't decide what's justice anymore."
"I do."
⸻
The final strike wasn't loud. It was clean.
A single black flame entered The Overdue's chest, and the entity… simply stopped existing.

He fell to one knee — wings fading.
Kaelya rushed forward. "You did it. You… won."
Jiwoon looked at his hands.
"No. I reclaimed what was mine."
From the shattered obsidian heart, a new core began to form — smaller, quieter, and pulsing in rhythm with Jiwoon's breath.
Vera approached, looking at the horizon.
"So… what now?"
Jiwoon closed his eyes.
"We build. A system that forgives."
