Part 1: The Blank Page Rebellion
The First Aiden tosses Aiden a quill made of shattered plot armor.
"Rule #1 of god-killing," he says, "Never let them see the twist coming."
The blank page world shudders as the Audience's remnants claw at the edges:
Ink Golems form from discarded tropes ("I was the Chosen One!" one wails).
Kael's Arm starts writing again—but now it's his words: "Fight with clichés, not against them."
Aiden's New Skill Unlocked:
[Fourth Wall Shatter]
"Stab reality where it hurts."
Part 2: Forging the Sword
To craft the Narrative Breaker, they need:
Lyria's first tear (shed when she forgot her name).
A shard of Nirah's eyepatch (the First Aiden's defiance).
Aiden's most embarrassing memory (vending machine incident, 2x speed).
Ignisia strikes the blade into existence—but the forge is the Audience's own stage.
The Price: Every swing erases a piece of the wielder's past.
Aiden (gripping the hilt):"Worth it."
Part 3: The First Strike
They lunge back into the theater—Aiden aims for the spotlight.
The blade splits the narrative:
Elara's "death flag" dissolves ("Wait, I live?!").
Lyria's shadow merges with her, restoring one memory:"You always save me."
The Audience screams in 5D.
Cliffhanger: The Scriptwriter's true form crawls from the wreckage—a skeletal novelist, gripping a pen.
"Let's… edit that last scene."
Next Chapter Teaser:
The Novelist's Weakness: He hates his own ending.
Kael's Choice: Rebuild his arm with ink or flesh?
Nirah's Eye: It's leaking real-world light.
