The skies didn’t rumble. They screamed. Not thunder, not wind, something deeper. A groaning of reality itself as the crack in the sky yawned wider, bleeding raw narrative energy down upon the world.

Cael clutched his head. The voices were louder now, fragmented sentences, overlapping perspectives, drafts of him that never were. “You were supposed to die in Chapter 3.”

“You betrayed the system in Version 5.”

“You killed Nara in the beta timeline.”

He staggered to his knees, his hands pressed to the stone tiles of the academy courtyard. “Get out of my head!” But it wasn’t his head anymore. It was shared space now.

Deep inside the academy’s Central Core, alarms flared not red, but ink-black. An automated voice repeated: “SYSTEM RECALL INITIATED.”

“ALL UNSANCTIONED BRANCHES WILL BE PRUNED.”

The Elders watched in horror as every screen filled with corrupted code. Protagonists, support characters, even background NPCs began blinking from the maps. One disappeared mid-breath. Another vanishe

  • Chapter 200 – The Price of Rewriting Fate

    White, Endless white, Cael’s consciousness hovered between dimensions. No body. No form. Just a voice, his own echoing inside a vast, burning silence.[Timeline Override Engaged.] [System Error Detected.] [Reconstruction Protocol Initiated…]Pieces of memory drifted like ash. The smell of coppery blood. The sound of Arianna’s laugh. The scream of his enemies. The cry of his past self. The cold silence of power that couldn’t save everyone.A voice, not the system’s, but ancient and feminine, whispered across the void: “Rewrite the thread... and pay the price.”Suddenly, Cael gasped back into existence, But he wasn’t in the Threshold anymore, He stood in the middle of a ruined city his city. Highridge, but not the one he knew. It was older. Warped. Drenched in crimson skies and shadows that moved on their own.He turned, and there she was, Arianna, Dead-eyed. Robotic. Wired into a tower of black stone, He staggered forward. “Arianna?”Her lips moved, but a machine voice replied. “Hostil

  • Chapter 199 – Shadows That Whisper Back

    The walls of the underground vault groaned as if the secrets they held were begging to be unleashed.Cael stood frozen, the tablet glowing in his hand, its inscriptions shifting, reforming, like they were alive. Around him, holographic runes danced midair, each pulse syncing with his heartbeat, A storm brewed behind his eyes.[Ding! Hidden System Expansion Unlocked! You have entered the Threshold of Judgment. New parameters now accessible.]The moment that notification echoed in his mind, the air around him thinned. A gravitational force pressed on his shoulders, the ground beneath him vibrating like a pulse, He wasn’t alone.From the shadows stepped a man, Tall. Broad. A face obscured by a mask of sleek black metal, etched with red runes that shimmered like blood. He radiated energy so dense it felt like Cael was staring into a black hole in human form.“You weren’t supposed to unlock it yet,” the man said, voice distorted and layered, like multiple beings spoke in unison.Cael insti

  • Chapter 198: The Rejection of Order

    Lyss’s energy lance tore through the void, Cael reacted instinctively, shoving Mira aside, twisting his body to intercept the brunt of the attack.Boom!The impact hurled him across the chamber, his body ragdolling into the far wall. Concrete cracked. Blood sprayed. “Cael!” Mira screamed, her threads lashing outward to catch him mid-fall.The Devourer snarled, rising with the last reserves of his corrupted energy. “You again... You just won’t stop coming.”Lyss descended gently, hovering inches above the broken platform. Her veil lifted slightly revealing not a face, but an endless abyss of shifting code.“You have broken containment protocols. The Devourer was to be recycled. The girl purged. And the anomaly... neutralized.” She raised her hand again.Cael coughed blood, struggling to stand. “I’m getting real tired... of being called that.”Mira stood in front of Cael, golden energy flaring wildly around her. Her hair floated. Her irises now held threadlines that pulsed with language

  • Chapter 197: The Deal of Oblivion

    The chamber’s gravity thickened as Cael lunged at the Devourer, The Thread Spear clashed with a barrier of flickering hexcode symbols, an explosion of kinetic pressure shaking the core beneath them.The Devourer grunted, barely managing to parry the blow with his remaining arm, his body dripping with fractured system energy. “You’re late,” he growled.“And you look like death forgot to finish the job,” Cael spat.The cocoon holding Mira pulsed between them, threads twitching, struggling to contain her awakened Thread Aura, The Devourer’s gaze flicked toward her.“She’ll wake up soon. And when she does, this place won’t hold.”Cael didn’t hesitate, He dashed forward, this time faking high and slicing low, catching the Devourer’s injured side. The blow landed, A gash of corrupted thread split open, The Devourer howled.As the Devourer fell back, black mist spilling from his wound, Cael pressed the advantage, only to be slammed back by a pulse of raw memory energy, They both stumbled.An

  • Chapter 196: The Door That Shouldn’t Exist

    “Cael? Is that… you?”The voice echoed through the wooden doorway like a memory stitched into time itself, He froze midair.Mira’s brow furrowed as she sensed the change in him. “That voice…?”Cael nodded slowly. “My mother.”But that wasn’t possible. She’d died during the first Thread Breach. There was no timeline left where she existed. Not even as a ghost, Yet the voice tender, warm, familiar drifted through the cracks like sunlight through a broken shutter. He stepped forward, trembling.[ WARNING: UNVERIFIED THREADLINK. ORIGIN UNKNOWN. PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ]But he couldn’t stop. “Mira,” he whispered, “if this is real… I have to see.”She didn’t stop him, Instead, she tightened her grip on his wrist. “Then we go together.”They stepped into the doorway, The world on the other side wasn't real, Or maybe it was too real.Cael stood on a cobblestone street, surrounded by the scent of roasted almonds and rain. Lanterns flickered on walls. His childhood home untouched by decay stood

  • Chapter 195: Starfall Protocol

    The collapsing star in the Thread Devourer’s palm pulsed like a heartbeat, Each vibration tore chunks out of the Spiral Core’s floating architecture. Segments of admin script unraveled into strings of light, vanishing into the rift behind him.Cael held Mira in his arms, shielding her from the shockwaves with his own body. His system was screaming.[ SYSTEM CONDITION: CRITICAL ][ USER “MIRA PRIME” STATUS: STABILIZED – BOND LINK INITIATED ][ COMBINED SYNC RATE: 4%… 7%… 12% ]“You really want to destroy everything just to keep me from saving her?” Cael grunted, staring at his monstrous counterpart, The Devourer’s form twisted, part Cael, part god, part void.“I’m not destroying it,” it said. “I’m resetting it. This was always the endgame.”The Spiral Core’s system flared. A new voice, one Cael hadn’t heard in a long time, cut through the chaos.[ ADMIN OVERRIDE IN PROGRESS… ][ ERROR. ADMIN LEVEL INSUFFICIENT. OVERRIDE BLOCKED. ]It was Korben, Back in the Admin Citadel. “Cael,” his v
