The world beneath Jiwoon had collapsed.
But something had survived the flames.

Jiwoon's Inner Monologue
"I killed everything. I destroyed the core. There shouldn't be anything left."
"Then what… is breathing down there?"
Jiwoon stared into the abyss — and the abyss stared back.
A faint heartbeat echoed from below. But it wasn't human.
It pulsed like a planet… or a womb.
The Descent
Ignoring the warnings, Jiwoon leapt into the broken earth.
Layer after layer of ash, bone, and memories peeled away.
Until he landed on a floor made of forgotten sins.
There it was:
A sphere of flesh and symbols — chained in place by black iron.
It breathed. Slowly. Loudly.
Jiwoon's eye narrowed. His Sin Avatar armor began to hiss — reacting on its own.
The Voice Returns
"This is where they made it," the demon inside whispered.
"Where they forged the first contract."
"The original sin… was birthed here."
A Pulse
Suddenly, the sphere pulsed — and Jiwoon was blasted backwards.
Visions hit him like lightning:
A god kneeling before fire
A hand cutting open its own chest
A contract written in language older than time
"It's not just a womb," Jiwoon whispered.
"It's a seed."
"Of what?" the demon asked.
"Of a world that shouldn't exist."

Cliffhanger
As Jiwoon prepared to retreat, he felt it:
Something was moving inside the womb.
Not just a heartbeat.
Not just power.
But a name.
And it spoke:
"Jiwoon…"
"I remember you."
