The sky… was breaking.
Cracks stretched across it like shattered glass, leaking a strange, blinding light from beyond.
The air had changed.
It wasn't just unstable anymore—
It felt… watched.
Leon stepped back slightly.
"…This pressure…"
His voice trembled for the first time.
"…It's different."
Asad didn't respond immediately.
His eyes were fixed on the sky.
"…Yeah."
A pause.
"…This isn't the System."
The Administrator's flickering form turned upward.
For the first time—
It showed hesitation.
"…Impossible…"
Leon looked at it.
"…You know what that is, don't you?"
The Administrator remained silent.
That silence—
Was the answer.
Asad smirked faintly.
"…So even you don't control everything."
The cracks widened.
CRRRRACK—
A massive piece of the sky shattered.
And from beyond it—
Something moved.
Not a body.
Not a shape.
But a presence.
Ancient.
Endless.
Watching.
Leon felt his legs weaken.
"…What… is that…?"
Asad's voice was calm.
But serious.
"…The one behind the story."
Silence.
The light from the sky began to twist—
And slowly—
A voice descended.
Not loud.
Not aggressive.
But absolute.
"…So you have reached this point."
Everything froze for a moment.
Even the wind stopped.
Leon couldn't move.
"…W-Who are you…?"
The voice didn't answer him.
Instead—
It spoke to Asad.
"…You are not supposed to exist here."
Asad smiled slightly.
"…I get that a lot."
The light above shifted.
"…You are the writer…"
A pause.
"…And yet… you are also a character now."
Asad's eyes narrowed.
"…And you are?"
Silence.
Then—
"…I am the Origin."
The world trembled.
Leon's heart dropped.
"…Origin…?"
Asad repeated it quietly.
"…The one before the System…"
"…before the story…"
The voice confirmed:
"…Correct."
The Administrator stepped forward weakly.
"…You… have interfered too much…"
The Origin ignored it.
"…You failed your role."
The moment those words were spoken—
The Administrator froze.
Then—
Its body began to break apart.
"…W-Wait—"
SHATTER.
It disappeared completely.
Gone.
Erased.
Silence.
Leon's eyes widened.
"…It just… erased it…"
Asad watched calmly.
"…So that's how it is."
The Origin spoke again:
"…This world has deviated beyond correction."
"…It will now be reset."
Leon's body froze.
"…Reset…?"
"…You mean—"
Asad finished the sentence.
"…Everything gets erased."
The light above intensified.
The cracks began to close—
But not to heal—
To overwrite.
Reality itself started rewriting.
The ground flickered.
The air distorted.
Leon clenched his fists.
"…No…"
"…I won't let this happen!"
He stepped forward—
But the pressure forced him down.
His knees hit the ground.
"…I… can't move…!"
Asad remained standing.
Still.
Unshaken.
The Origin focused on him.
"…You are the anomaly."
"…Remove yourself."
Asad smiled.
"…Or what?"
Silence.
Then—
"…You will be removed."
A massive pressure descended.
Even the space around Asad began to distort.
But—
He didn't move.
Instead—
He laughed softly.
"…You sound just like a system message."
The Origin paused.
"…You are defiant."
Asad's eyes glowed faintly purple.
"…No."
"…I just don't like bad writing."
Silence.
Leon looked up.
"…Asad…"
Asad stepped forward.
Even as the world flickered around him.
"…You said you're the Origin…"
"…the one who created everything."
A pause.
"…Then answer me something."
The pressure increased.
But Asad kept walking.
"…Why create a story…"
"…you're too afraid to let change?"
For the first time—
The light above trembled.
Just slightly.
The Origin responded:
"…Change leads to chaos."
Asad smirked.
"…No."
"…Change makes the story interesting."
A surge of energy exploded from him.
Darkness rose—
Violent—
Uncontrolled—
Clashing against the light above.
Leon's eyes widened.
"…He's… resisting it…!"
The ground cracked further.
Reality screamed.
Asad raised his hand—
Pointing toward the sky.
"…You want to reset everything?"
A pause.
His smile turned dangerous.
"…Then try."
Dark energy surged upward—
Colliding with the light of the Origin.
BOOOOOOM!
The entire sky shook.
The story itself—
Was at war.
