Scene: Deep within the Archive
Jiwoon stood face to face with Jiwoon_Zero — the prototype host.
The Archive rippled around them, built from discarded code, half-memories, and unprocessed pain. The entire place pulsed like a forgotten heart.
"You're not real," Jiwoon whispered.
Jiwoon_Zero chuckled.
"Neither are you. Not in the way you think."
Reveal – System Genesis Truth
As Jiwoon stepped forward, the prototype began projecting memories — flashes of the system's creation:
Earth's civilizations collapsing under moral entropy.
Artificial minds trying to build "justice" through mathematics.
Failed hosts — each more human, each more broken.
Finally… Jiwoon's name selected not by design, but by resonance.
"You weren't chosen."
"You were compatible."
Jiwoon: "Compatible with what?"
"With sin itself."
The Truth: Sin Was a Seal
"The system wasn't made to destroy sin…"
"It was made to contain it."
And now, with Jiwoon absorbing so much — he wasn't purifying the world.
"You're dragging it all inside yourself."
Vera's voice echoed through his comm:
"Your vitals are unstable. Get out of there."
But Jiwoon didn't flinch.
"I need to see the end."
The Forbidden Core Appears
Suddenly, the archive trembled.
A hidden stairway opened — leading to the Core Vault.
There, he saw it:
A beating heart of code, suspended in chains — the original sin.
Not metaphorical. Not symbolic.
Real. Ancient. Alive.
[System Alert: DO NOT ENGAGE]
Kaelya (through link): "Jiwoon—whatever that is, it's not part of your contract!"
Jiwoon: "That's the point. My contract is a lie."
Final Moments:
The heart pulsed once. Jiwoon stepped forward.
"If I don't rewrite this… someone worse will."
He reached out.
Touch.
Suddenly — a scream.
Not from the core.
From the outside world.
[System Warning: External anomaly breach detected]
[Unregistered Entity Entering Worldline]
Jiwoon jerked his head up.
"Something just came through…"
