The battle began. It wasn't just a duel—it was a fight for control of the environment. As the Fixer swung his sword, he altered gravity; we'd float, then get crushed under massive pressure.

"Use your dagger!" Kai shouted, blocking the Fixer's strike. "Your black dagger isn't a weapon—it's an 'eraser'! It's the only thing that can delete the Fixer's code!"
I understood. I charged the Fixer, ignoring his blows. I wasn't fighting him—I was reaching his data-filled "heart". In a rush, I stabbed his black armor.
Instead of blood, numbers, letters, and words exploded from him. The Fixer screamed, unraveling.
"You don't understand..." he whispered, dissolving. "Without the 'system', the world ceases to exist. Are you ready to bear living in this world as reality—with all its suffering?"
I looked at Kai, who waited for my call. The question hung in the air, in Kai's eyes, in the tower: Do we deserve a real world… or settle for a safe, scripted fantasy?
I pulled the dagger, aiming a final strike at the Heart of the Code behind the Fixer.
