"Freedom is a lie if it forces us to carry guilt alone."
That was the slogan.
First whispered in forums.
Then painted on walls.
And now… shouted in the streets.
A World Divided
After Jiwoon's rewrite, the Sin System no longer punished.
It only revealed. Reflected.
But not everyone wanted that.
Without fear of punishment, crime dropped at first
But then, entitlement rose
Some demanded:
"If there's no system to judge us — who decides what's right?"
The First Riot – Sector 17
Jiwoon stood on the rooftop, watching.
Below, protestors marched with a new symbol —
an eye crossed out by static lines.
Kaelya cursed.
"They're calling it the Echo Faction."
"Echo of what?" Vera asked.
"The system before the rewrite. They want it back."
The Leader Revealed
In the heart of the crowd stood a masked figure —
face hidden, voice augmented.
"We were safe under the System."
"We need divine order — not this… burden of reflection."
Jiwoon narrowed his eyes.
"A new enemy. Born from truth denied."
Kravein Steps Forward
Kravein scoffed, arms folded.
"Fools. They think fear was peace."
Jiwoon turned to him.
"Can you trace them?"
"Already did."
[System Update]
Echo Faction Identified.
Threat Level: Rising
Suggestion: Intervention Optional
Note: System now operates as mirror — not executioner.
Jiwoon Decides
He looked at the holographic map — clusters of Echo cells forming.
"I gave them freedom."
"But if they turn it into a weapon…"
He clenched his fists — dark sparks trailing from his palms.
"Then they'll see what a mirror does when it shatters."
