🌌 Previously…
Kael revealed his hidden class: Author of Ruin — a class that isn't part of the divine registry.
He awakened Echoforge Protocol, allowing him to steal skills from potential futures of himself.
His new skill, Gravity Fang, tore a royal executor's pride apart in public.
Prophets now label him not a deviation — but a genre rewriting the narrative structure of fate itself.
The world has begun to notice. But some… want to erase him before the story spreads.

🏛️ Scene 1 – The Council of Cages
Deep within Sanctum Arcanis — hidden below the floating spires — lies the forbidden wing: The Iron Assembly.
The place where instructors, god-marked scholars, and political liaisons discuss threats to control.
A silver emblem glowed in the center of the obsidian table:
> Kael Draven — Nullblood. Sovereign Core Detected. System-breaking tendencies confirmed.
Council Head, Archmage Silis Rethir, scowled.
> "He walked into our sanctum and cracked prophecy in half."
"He is not a student. He is contagion."
High Marshal Velisar Serenthos slammed his fist.
> "He humiliated my heir. He humiliated the system.
Let me kill him."
Another voice rose — cold, logical: Headmistress Sira Valen.
> "Kill him? You still don't understand."
She turned her gaze to the others.
> "He is writing the next system.
Kill him now, and he becomes myth.
Contain him, and we might learn."
> "Let's offer him a seat. Not as a student.
But as a theoretical instructor.
Where we can watch him build… and find where his limits bleed."
The others protested.
She smiled.
> "The best way to trap an author…
is to give him a desk."

📘 Scene 2 – The Class No One Can Pass
Kael sat alone in the Garden of Silence, coding his new ability Gravity Fang v.1 using fragments from failed futures.
Then, a system alert chimed:
> [SYSTEM REQUEST: You are being offered a position]
Title: "Independent Experimental Authority – Instructor Rank Z"
Salary: ❌
Control: ❌
Purpose: Containment disguised as empowerment.
Kael smirked.
> "So they're offering me a cage… with a throne inside."
He accepted.
Not because he trusted them.
But because it gave him access to the academy's core archive.
And knowledge?
Was ammunition.

🧠 Scene 3 – The Sovereign Forge Awakens: Internal Command Console
> [Echoforge Sync: 16.8%]
Accessing Core Command Layer...
> ✴️ NEW FUNCTION: Sovereign Scripting
Description: "You may now write pseudo-scripts into your Sovereign Core to simulate behavior like divine skill trees."
> Warning: Each line risks memory bleed or future corruption.
Bonus: Unique passive traits may evolve based on script logic.
Kael's first script was simple:
IF Threat.Level > Self THEN
Skill.GravityFang += KineticWrap;
CoreSync += 1.5%;
> [Script Executed]
Gravity Fang upgraded:
✴️ Kinetic Wrap I: A secondary forcewave wraps around the strike, disrupting shields.
He stood and whispered:
> "Even gods have code.
They just never expected someone would edit it."

🏫 Scene 4 – His First Lesson: "The Concept of Collapse"
The hall was half-full.
Not with students, but spies.
Nobles. Instructors. Two divine avatars hidden in illusion masks.
Kael stepped into the center.
> "You came to see if I'd fall apart in public."
He conjured a digital holograph in air — not magic.
Pure Sovereign simulation.
It displayed a simple line:
"What if the system isn't broken?
What if it's just obsolete?"
Gasps. Protests. But he wasn't done.
> "Class is simple:
I will show you how to kill gods,
using only logic, broken memories,
and the courage to remain systemless."
He activated Gravity Fang – Kinetic Wrap.
The classroom trembled.
> "Let's begin with collapse."

🩸 Scene 5 – Secret Duel Challenge: The System's Champion
Three hours later, a red notification blinked.
> [SYSTEM DUEL REQUEST – High Priority]
Challenger: Cairos Vel Ruinhold, Divine-Touched Warrior Monk, Rank 45
Title: "System's Chosen"
Reward for Victory: Partial system access key
> Acceptance Penalty: Death.
Arena: Memory Vault (No magic aids, only raw execution.)
Kael accepted.
V.O.X. whispered:
> "This opponent is perfect.
He represents the old world's pride.
Shatter him… and you shatter faith itself."

🕊️ Scene 6 – Duel of Worlds
Inside the Vault of Memory, time lagged.
Reality twisted — not by magic, but system compression.
Cairos, glowing with golden threads of divinity, stepped forth.
> "You are a fracture in law.
I am the hammer of divine legacy."
Kael spun No-Shadow Edge once.
> "I'm not a fracture.
I'm the editor."
Cairos struck with Divine Thread Palm — a move that dissolves the aura of any lesser being.
But Kael wasn't aura.
He was cognitive existence. A story written by force.
> [Tyrant's Bloom Triggered]
Cairos saw a vision — of being forgotten, erased from memory.
> [Script Triggered: IF Divine THEN Bleed++]
[Kinetic Wrap Engaged]
Kael struck once.
Cairos fell.
The system wept.
