Scene: Jiwoon's temporary command room – a digital observatory inside Seoryun Temple
Vera looked over the interface floating midair.
Kaelya leaned against the wall, arms crossed.
"Still no ID on this entity?"
Jiwoon nodded slowly. "No records. No sin. No origin."
[Paradox Detected]
Location: Dead Zone 9 – Data Graveyard
Status: "Sinless yet hostile"
Cut to: Dead Zone 9
Once a forgotten digital battlefield — where former users and corrupted systems were erased. Now, a massive storm churned above it. Code lightning. Gravity tears. And in the center…
A figure standing calmly — barefoot, eyes white, wearing a cloak made of shredded system codes.
It spoke to no one — and yet the system broadcasted its words.
"This reality loop has failed again. Begin correction."
"Target: Jiwoon."
Back at base
Jiwoon stared at the phrase:
[System Host: Marked for Erasure by Paradox Protocol]
Kaelya: "They're coming for you?"
Vera: "No. They're coming for what you've changed."
Jiwoon turned away from the interface.
"Then I'll meet them halfway."
Scene Cut – Entering Dead Zone 9
Jiwoon stepped onto corrupted data ground, shadows writhing around his boots. He didn't summon his armor. He didn't raise his voice.
He just looked at the figure.
"What are you?"
It turned — featureless face. Calm.
"A reset button."
Suddenly, multiple versions of Jiwoon's former targets emerged — but purified, rewritten, almost divine in form.
"These are what your system rejected. I reclaim them."
Jiwoon's eyes narrowed.
"You're not a god. You're a mirror."
Combat Begins – Jiwoon vs. Rewritten Avatars
Every attack they launched mirrored Jiwoon's style — but without anger, without passion. Calculated. Hollow.
"Justice without empathy," Jiwoon muttered, dodging a precision strike.
He summoned the Dragon Aspect, but toned down — shifting between rage and control.
Final Moment:
As Jiwoon prepares a final blow, the Paradox speaks again.
"You think your story is unique?"
"You are a glitch. A symptom."
Jiwoon clenched his fist.
"No. I'm the reason the story changes."
