The night fell heavy over the divided sky.
One rift pulsed above the northern sea.
The other — wider, darker — hovered over Sector 0, the origin point of everything.
And from that blackened tear…
A child stepped through.
Not a boy.
Not a god.
Something in between.
The Return of the Forgotten
Vera, Kaelya, Kravein, and Qilin gathered at the summit of the capital tower. Their faces, each seasoned by war, flickered with disbelief.
"That aura," Vera whispered.
"It's not just Jiwoon…"
"It's something older," Kravein muttered. "Something bound to this world before sin had rules."
Below them, crowds gathered.
Not in fear — but reverence.
As if they'd seen this figure in dreams.
Jiwoon Appears
He walked barefoot across shattered ground.
His white cloak flicked like moonlight.
And his left eye — no longer human — burned with marks only divine systems understood.
"They're calling him something new," Qilin said.
"What?" Kaelya asked.
"The Sinbound Prince."
System Shift
In Jiwoon's vision, the interface flickered violently.
[System Core Unstable]
[Divine Rule Detected: Override in Progress]
[Warning: External Deity Signature Embedded – Name: Eliad]
The Oracle's prophecy came rushing back —
A name not written in the book.
A power that once bent the laws of sin.
And now…
It was inside him.
The Voice of Eliad
Jiwoon stopped walking.
A ripple spread across the earth.
Every person, every animal, every connected being heard the same thing:
"The world has judged enough."
"Now the system itself will stand trial."
And in Jiwoon's mind —
A voice that wasn't his whispered:
"Let me wear your crown… just once."
"Let me show them how a god is buried."
Jiwoon's Choice
Vera and Kaelya appeared before him — weapons drawn, eyes torn between fear and love.
"Is that still you?" Vera asked.
Jiwoon didn't answer.
His body moved forward — but his shadow didn't match.
Kaelya took a step forward.
"Jiwoon—don't let it in."
His mouth opened.
"I already did."
