The mirror had shattered.
But something came through.
Not Jiwoon.
Not a demon.
Something… else.
From the Fragments
Where the mirror once floated, shards hovered midair.
From between them, a figure stepped out — barefoot, eyes glowing with inverted Sin.
He looked like Jiwoon…
…but without pain.
"Who are you?" Jiwoon demanded.
The man smiled.
"I'm what you left behind."

The clone tilted his head.
"You broke me. But I remember everything."
"Now I'll show you what you could've done… if you had no chains."
He snapped his fingers — and black flame erupted from the sky.
Chaos Unleashed
Buildings melted. Time stuttered.
Vera and Kaelya were thrown back by invisible pressure.
Qilin neighed in defiance. Kravein drew his sword.
But Jiwoon stepped forward.
"This isn't a purge. It's a test."
Jiwoon vs. Himself
The two moved at once.
Shadow against shadow.
One burned like vengeance, the other like freedom.
Jiwoon struck first — a punch laced with Sin Sentence.
The clone blocked it… with a smile.
"You're strong."
"But I'm pure."
Kravein Intervenes
Just as Jiwoon staggered from a mental blast, Kravein leapt between them.
"No one kills my lord but me."
He swung — hard.
The Shardwalker didn't even flinch.
Instead, he duplicated Kravein's blade… and stabbed him with it.

Jiwoon whispered—
"No. Not yet."
He clenched his fists.
"This isn't just about power."
