The world was quiet again.

For the first time in what felt like centuries, the air no longer trembled beneath the weight of stormlight. The lightning had faded into soft luminescence that curved gently through the clouds, like veins of sleeping stars.

Kai stood at the edge of the broken lake — now smooth, clear, and endless. The reflection staring back at him was still his, though it felt older somehow, as if he’d lived a thousand lifetimes between two breaths.

Behind him, the wind shifted — and voices came. Familiar ones.

Sylvia was the first to appear, walking through the mist. Her armor was cracked, one pauldron missing, and her eyes shimmered with exhaustion and disbelief.

She stopped a few feet away, staring at him as though afraid he might vanish again.

“…You actually came back,” she whispered.

Kai smiled faintly. “You sound surprised.”

“I am surprised,” she said, voice trembling between laughter and tears. “The world ends, reality breaks, and somehow you still find a way to wa

  • - Chapter - 130 -THE TRUTH OF ORIGIN AND UNWRITTEN

    Where past and future converge — and a deeper threat is revealed.The portal shimmered like a scar in the air — beautiful, unstable, and frighteningly deep.Sylvia, Mandy, Sahra, and Simon stood before it, shoulders squared, hearts thundered with purpose.But then Athis stepped forward, raising a hand as pale light flickered around his fingertips.“Before we enter,” he said, voice calm but heavy,“there’s something you must understand.”The four turned — confusion, defiance, and curiosity etched into their faces.Sahra lifted an eyebrow.“Athis… you sure you’re helping and not lying?”Athis inclined his head with the faintest smile.“I detect your suspicion.”Then his tone shifted — serious, ancient, measured.“But this is not about trust.This is about truth.”Mandy blinked.“Truth always sounds like something that’s about to hurt.”Athis didn’t flinch.“No, it’s something far worse.”Simon stepped closer, wings folding elegantly.“Then speak.”The white threads of the fractured por

  • - Chapter- 129 - THE SEARCH FOR THE UNWRITTEN

    For the first time since they had met him,Kai was gone.Not “left the realm for a mission.”Not “vanished into a system glitch.”Not “stepped into a different dimension.”Gone.Truly, unnervingly gone — and Lerien with him.Sylvia walked at the front of the group, arms crossed tightly, jaw set in a way that meant No one should talk to me right now unless they want to lose a limb.Her silver hair shimmered with suppressed storm energy —Kai’s lightning, buried inside her from the last resonance, reacting to her mood.Behind her, Mandy jogged to keep up.“Okay, so… good news first, right?” Mandy said, voice thin with anxiety.Sahra shot her a sideways look.“What good news? We lost our leader, a Fateborn anomaly, and possibly the only person who can beat outer cosmic horrors. What part of that screams ‘good’ to you?”Mandy winced.“Right… fair…”Simon walked with deliberate calm, his Celestial coat flowing faintly behind him, wings hidden but tense.“My lord is alive,” he said.“I can

  • - Chapter- 128 - The Paradox-Born reveals the Hunter’s true purpose

    The silver-haired young man stepped closer, the mist curling around his feet as if reality itself bowed aside to let him pass.Kai kept his body slightly ahead of Lerien, lightning humming faintly at his fingertips.Lerien’s threads flickered around her like nervous butterflies.The stranger lifted both hands slowly—peaceful, open.“I didn’t come to fight,” he said softly.“I came… to warn you.”Kai’s eyes narrowed.“Start by telling us your name.”The young man hesitated, as if searching for something forgotten.“…I have been called many things.Fragment.Contradiction.Unmade.”His gaze softened.“But recently… I started calling myself Athis.”Lerien flinched.“Athis… that’s a fate-signature term.”Her voice grew quiet.“It means ‘the one who should not exist.’”The young man—Athis—smiled faintly, not offended.“That is correct.”Kai didn’t lower his guard.“Alright, Athis.You said you’ve been looking for us.Why?”Athis’s expression darkened.“Because the Hunter isn’t chasing you

    The tear in the sky widened like a wound.Cold spilled from it—cold that wasn’t temperature,but the absence of possibility.The Herald hissed in panic, voice cracking:“THE UNBOUND HUNTER—EVERYONE MOVE—NOW!”The inner circle scattered, drawing weapons, forming barriers—But Lerien didn’t move.She couldn’t.Her new sight showed her threads—thousands, millions—all converging toward her.The thing emerging from the tear wasn’t shaped like anything.It was a silhouette that refused to obey form.A hole in reality wearing the vague suggestion of a humanoid outline.Its voice drifted like frost:“Unwritten girl.You should not exist.”Lerien’s breath froze in her chest.It moved.No wind.No sound.Just—appearing—right in front of her.A clawed hand of shadow reached toward her face—And Lerien felt every timeline where she died.Her heart stoppedJust before the Hunter touched her—The Fate Gate behind themexploded.Light ripped outward in a shockwave.Symbols cracked.Stone vaporize

  • - Chapter - 125 - LERIEN: THE EYES THAT SEE THE UNWRITTEN

    The Golden Paradox did not die quietly.It tore itself apart with the sound of worlds grinding into dust.The sky peeled open like thin paper.The ground folded inward like a closing eye.Every reflection of Lerien—twisted, perfect, monstrous—shattered into golden vapor.Only one remained standing in the center:The real Lerien.Her breathing was still ragged.Her hands still trembled.But the chains that had once bound herwere now dust at her feet.Her hair floated behind her as if underwater.Her irises glowed pure white—not the white of blindness,but the white of an empty pagewhere fate has not yet dared to write anything.The Golden Paradox recognized her.It whispered through the cracking air:[UNWRITTEN ONE][FORBIDDEN POSSIBILITY][ULTIMA THREAD—ACTIVE]Lerien swallowed, voice barely a whisper:“…So this is what I am?”Her echo—her perfect doppelgänger—staggered backward,its form glitching in terror.“You—You were supposed to break.You always broke in every timeline.Ev
