Gale-force winds lashed against Vedic’s face as he plummeted from the summit of the crumbling skyscraper. Glancing sideways, he saw Sanan maneuvering through the air, her black gown billowing like the wings of a bat. They weren't just falling; they were caught in the grip of an artificial gravitational pull generated by entities in the sky. Vedic reached out and snagged Sanan by the waist, pulling her flush against him amidst a swirling vortex of concrete debris."Hold on tight!" Vedic roared over the thunderous howl of the wind.Sanan didn't look the least bit frightened. Instead, she leaned her head against Vedic’s chest with a defiant smirk. "Don't you dare let me fall alone, you idiot glitch. If we’re going down, at least make sure we stick the most ridiculous landing possible!"Vedic let out a booming laugh. In the shadow of certain death, he had never felt more alive. He tapped into the final glitch capability remaining in his system. He

The figure in the chair had a face identical to Vedic’s. The jawline was the same, the gaze was the same, and there was even the exact same small scar on his left eyebrow. The man crossed his legs casually, watching Vedic and Sanan with a smile that made their skin crawl. Sanan, usually fierce, stood frozen, her nails digging into Vedic's arm as she gripped him."What is the meaning of this?" Vedic asked, his voice trembling. He tried to step back, but his feet felt as though they were bolted to the cold marble floor. "I am Vedic. I'm the one standing here. So who are you? Are you some kind of clone from a system experiment?"The man laughed. His voice sounded like the smooth, grand friction of fine metal. He stood up slowly, smoothing out his black suit, an outfit that looked far too luxurious and out of place for such a chaotic world. "I'm no clone. I am the final result of everything you’ve been through. I am the Vedic from a timeline that successfully erased the boundaries between

"1!" The system's voice echoed through Vedic’s fading consciousness. Vedic refused to let himself just vanish. In the final second, as the light particles on his arm were nearly gone, he summoned every last bit of his remaining glitch energy. He didn't try to fight the system with brute force; instead, he manipulated the base code of the deletion command itself. With the touch of his few remaining fingers, he altered the "Delete" command to "Delay."A brilliant burst of purple digital energy exploded within the room. Hans, who had been smiling smugly, widened his eyes in shock. The device in his hand detonated, sending shards flying into his face. "What the hell did you do?" Hans screamed, his calm demeanor shattered. He looked ridiculous, his hair half-scorched from the small explosion.Vedic felt his body materialize again, though he was incredibly weak. He collapsed into the lap of Sanan, who was still half-naked from the nearly completed deletion process. Sanan was gasping for a

"This is the end," the Fixer repeated tonelessly. Her white blade pressed coldly against Vedic’s pulse.Vedic swallowed hard. The chill of the metal seeped into his nerves. He could feel Sanan holding his breath behind him. A heavy, suffocating silence settled over the ruined remains of the dungeon."The end of what?" Vedic asked, forcing a dry chuckle. "I was just starting to get comfortable with all this chaos. You’re a little late to the party, Lady in White."The woman didn't respond. Her vacant eyes didn't see Vedic as a person, but rather as a line of corrupted code that needed to be purged. Sanan slowly rose from the rubble, wiping a smudge of blood from the corner of his lip with his thumb. A strange flicker of fury and desire danced in his eyes as he stared at the Fixer."Let him go," Sanan ordered, his voice low and heavy with authority.The Fixer didn't even look at him. "Sanan, you have been infected by this anomaly. You have allowed yourself to be defiled by the low-level

The ruins didn't fall like ordinary stones. Chunks of walls and concrete pillars hovered in the air, distorted by gravity that Vedic had just scrambled. The rival guild soldiers, who had been standing so arrogantly moments ago, were now shell-shocked. Hans’s ice-cold expression turned deathly pale as he saw his men trapped in Vedic’s makeshift anomaly zone."What are you doing, you idiot!" Hans screamed, trying to pull his feet free from a floor that had suddenly turned into liquid holograms. "Stop this right now!"Vedic laughed. His voice echoed through the chaos, sounding liberated and slightly deranged. He turned to Sanan, who stood right beside him, watching him with a look of admiration mixed with a certain hunger."You see that, Sanan?" Vedic asked, pointing at Hans, who was flailing through the air like a fish out of water. "The system said I should go for dramatic effect. I think this is dramatic enough to get them off our backs."Sanan stepped forward, her slender fingers str

Vedic had no choice but to throw himself toward Sanan. The moment his palm made contact with the skin of her neck, a jolt of searing static electricity scorched his nerves. The blade of light the system shadow had swung shattered instantly, dissolving into a cloud of digital dust. Sanan let out a long, shuddering sigh, a sound that was unmistakably erotic amidst the thunder of the crumbling room.Her golden eyes widened, then softened as Vedic's glitch energy flooded into her, neutralizing the frigid curse that had been tormenting her for so long."Ah, so that is how it feels," Sanan whispered, closing her eyes. She pulled Vedic closer until their chests collided. "It is true then; you are the cure and the addiction I have been searching for among millions of pieces of trash."Vedic felt like his brain was short-circuiting. He was well aware they were on the brink of death, but the sensation of Sanan's dominant touch made him lose focus. "Wait, this is hardly the time for a romantic s
