Chapter 187
The Key pulsed in his palm like a living heartbeat. Oliver stood alone at the edge of the Forge Choir’s training ground, the wind rustling the red grass beneath his boots. Behind him, the camp was silent, every Scoreless member asleep, exhausted from their latest battle with themselves.He hadn’t told Mina yet. The Key of Canon wasn’t just a reward, it was an invitation.Key of Canon, Divine ArtifactStatus: DormantFunction: Unlocks a sealed harmonic root structureUsage Limitation: Once per bearerCondition: Anchor must be chosen“Anchor…” Oliver muttered, staring at the crimson sky. “What the hell does that mean?”“Me,” a voice said behind him.He turned. Mina stood barefoot in the red grass, her dagger at her hip, her hair tied back. Her eyes held no surprise, only resolve. “I knew you’d try to open it without me,” she said.Oliver hesitated. “It might not be safe.”“Nothing has been since the Warden,” she replied. “We’ve made it this far together. If the system buried something

The sky above was quiet. Too quiet. It wasn’t the calm kind of silence that made you relax. It was a silence so deep, it felt like the whole world was holding its breath. Even the wind had stopped. Not a single leaf moved. The clouds didn’t drift. The sun barely warmed the air.In the middle of the wide, circular training ground, Oliver stood still. His heart beat fast inside his chest. His fingers trembled at his sides. Every muscle in his body felt tight, like the strings of an old violin pulled too hard. The weight of a thousand invisible eyes pressed down on him.All around the circle, the Scoreless Choir had gathered. Dozens of them. Boys and girls. Young and old. People who had thrown away the System and its rules. People like Oliver.They watched without blinking. Some held their instruments, strange tools that hummed with their power. A harp of fire. A flute carved from bone. A drum made of stone. Each one was personal. Each one told a story.No one dared speak. And then, he

The first of them arrived before sunrise. She came barefoot, bleeding from the soles, but not once did she stop humming. Her voice, quiet and off-pitch, echoed strangely through the valley. When Oliver first saw her, she was walking through the mist like she didn’t see the world at all, just something beneath it.Mina stepped in front of her first, hand on her blade. “Name?”The girl blinked. “Name?” Mina repeated.The girl tilted her head. “I don’t know. But I hear her sometimes. The one who sings.”That was all she said before collapsing into the grass.Entity Detected: ScorelessStatus: UnregisteredAffinity: Resonance Type – Inverted PitchWarning: Subject is synchronized with a latent harmonic anomaly“She’s a carrier,” Oliver murmured. “But not of the Aria. Something else.”“She’s infected?” Mina asked.Oliver crouched and placed his hand on the girl’s forehead. Her skin was cold, her pulse erratic, but not dangerous. Not yet.“No,” he said. “She’s caught between songs.”They h

The lake had been quiet for days. Sunlight glinted on its surface, scattering across smooth stones and whispering reeds. Oliver stood ankle-deep in the water, letting the ripple of the current pull softly at his boots. His reflection stared back at him, clear-eyed, steady, no longer just a player, not quite a god.Mina sat nearby beneath a willow tree, sketching. Charcoal streaked her fingers. Her face was more relaxed than he’d ever seen it.For the first time in weeks, nothing chased them. No systems spoke. No monsters screamed.Peace was new. Uncomfortable. And brief. A ripple passed through the air. A shift. Not local. Not system-driven. Cosmic.Oliver raised his head. He felt it in his spine. Not sound. Not light. Not pressure. Something beneath all of that.Mina looked up. “You feel that too?”He nodded slowly. “Something old just woke up.”By nightfall, it was visible in the sky, a slow dark tear bleeding golden dust. It hovered just above the horizon, unmoving, unnatural. The

The wind moved gently over the hill. It carried a strange kind of music, soft, broken, but not empty. The world was singing again. But this time, it wasn’t a song of control or perfect rhythm. It was wild. It was alive. Like fire.Oliver stood alone on the crest of that hill where the Dissonant Spire once stood tall and sharp against the sky. Now, there was nothing but soft air and flickering sound. The tower was gone, shattered into pieces too small to see. All that remained were little echoes, like whispers made of light, floating gently through the sky like dust from stars.He closed his eyes and listened. Behind him, Mina leaned against the trunk of a silver tree. The bark looked smooth and clean, like the system’s code had been scrubbed off it.There were no status markers, no glowing lines, no controls. It was just a tree now.Mina picked up a small stone and tossed it into the wind. Instead of falling, it hovered in the air for a moment, then faded into glowing strands of lig

The world could not hold the sound anymore. The sky above cracked open. The Spire, once tall and proud, had broken apart. Pieces of black stone floated in the air like ash. Strange melodies drifted through the air, soft and haunting. There was no wind. No gravity. Only rhythm. Time and space felt wrong.Two figures stood on a floating piece of broken stone. It spun slowly in the strange sky. One of them was Oliver Beckett. He looked tired but strong. His eyes burned like fire. The Forbidden Verse still lived inside him. Flames danced around his heart, and shadows crawled under his skin.Across from him stood Arcanon Veres. He didn’t look human. His body was made of glowing lines and silver shapes. He looked like he was built by music itself. He held a staff that hummed with power. He was a servant of order, a protector of the old system.They said nothing at first. Then, the air pulsed. A message echoed from the system:Duel Initiated: Divine TierStatus: Reality Instability Rising
