Chapter 157 - EP.157 – Cracks in the Veil

The sky shimmered like broken glass.

Jiwoon stood at the edge of the Veil — the thin barrier separating realms of gods, mortals, and the forgotten. But this time… it was cracking.

System Update

[Warning: Veil Integrity = 48%]

[Causal Realities Overlapping]

[Detection: Mirror Jiwoon (Independent Entity) – Level UNKNOWN]

Scene: Between Two Worlds

Jiwoon stepped through the rip in the Veil.

Immediately, he was surrounded by illusions:

Old targets he'd slain.

Faces that screamed.

Versions of himself that had failed.

"This isn't just memory," Jiwoon whispered.

"It's… all possible regrets."

From behind one illusion, a figure emerged — cloaked in molten red shadow.

Mirror Jiwoon.

Dialogue – Jiwoon vs Mirror

Mirror: "You left me to suffer alone."

Jiwoon: "You were my rage. My shadow. I set you free."

Mirror: "And now I've found followers. Sinners who worship wrath."

The Veil pulsed with chaotic energy.

Fight Breaks Out – But Not Physical

It wasn't a battle of fists.

It was a battle of concepts.

Willpower vs. Hatred.

Balance vs. Extremes.

With every word exchanged, new realities bled into the current one — streets turned to ruins, skies bled violet.

Mirror: "You became too merciful."

Jiwoon: "You became too hollow."

Jiwoon Unleashes a New Skill

For a moment, Jiwoon's red eye flared — then dimmed.

He whispered:

"Sin Script: Veil Severance."

With a flick of his hand, all illusions shattered. The sky ripped in two.

He grabbed Mirror Jiwoon by the collar and pulled him into the real world.

"If you want to exist so badly, come suffer here."

Aftermath

As both Jiwoons dropped to the ground — separate, breathing, but not the same — the Veil behind them sealed itself.

But a message remained:

[Veil Healed: 61%]

[New Threat Introduced to Reality]

→ Name: The Sinner's Cult

Final Lines:

"You wanted to be real, didn't you?" Jiwoon muttered.

"Let's see if you survive the world I walked through."
