Chapter 168 - EP.168 – Rewrite the Debt

[SYSTEM ALERT]

Instability: 97%

Core Access Breach Detected

Countermeasure: NONE

Awaiting Command from: Jiwoon (Sin Host Alpha)

The Choice

Jiwoon stood at the center of the Root Realm.

All around him, contracts floated — some signed in blood, others burned into soul.

The First Sinner sat calmly on the crumbling throne.

"You have two choices," it said.

"Erase it all… or become it."

Erasure = Freedom?

Kaelya stepped forward.

"Erase it. Burn it down."

Vera, tense but calm.

"But if he does, what happens to all the sins he's absorbed?"

Kravein spoke, eyes narrowed.

"They return. To the world."

Jiwoon frowned.

"So if I erase the system, all the evil I sealed comes back…"

He looked at his hands — pulsing with sinlight and shadow.

To Become the System?

The First Sinner continued:

"Become me. Rewrite the rules. Control what comes next."

Jiwoon asked:

"Why me?"

The answer was simple.

"Because you're the only one who still hates yourself… but hasn't given up."

The Rewrite Begins

Jiwoon closed his eyes.

He saw every sin. Every scream. Every soul.

And whispered—

"No more chains."

The throne shattered.

The contracts burned.

But instead of vanishing… the energy surged into Jiwoon.

SYSTEM UPDATE

[ROOT ACCESS GRANTED]

[REWRITE PROTOCOL ENGAGED]

[Sin System: Rewriting Logic Tree…]

NEW COMMAND STRUCTURE ACCEPTED

"Guilt must lead to growth — not punishment."

"Redemption over damnation."

"Sin will reveal truth — not control."

The World Reacts

Outside, across the world:

Sin marks on people's bodies began to fade

Guiltless prisoners woke up crying

Some sinners exploded in holy fire

But others — those still repenting — were granted second chances

Jiwoon Collapses

The power was too much.

Jiwoon fell to his knees, bleeding sinlight.

His voice cracked—

"I didn't erase it. I rewrote it."

Kaelya caught him.

Vera knelt beside him.

Kravein stood guard.

Final Line

The First Sinner smiled as it faded into Jiwoon's shadow.

"Now you carry truth… not debt."
