Obsidian Vault – Aftermath
The Vault was silent.
Rin stood beside Lilith, both of them breathing heavily. Script embers still floated in the air from their fusion spell.
> "That thing… it wasn't normal," Lilith whispered.
> "That was the system's idea of subtlety," Rin replied. "We just broke a rule. Now it wants to break us."
A low tremor rocked the ground.
The Vault rumbled.
> [Warning: Core Guardian Awakening.]
[Designation: "The Law Eater"]
[Class: World-Class Catastrophe]
> "...Oh good," Rin muttered. "They named it like a boss in a Souls game."

☁️ Far Above – System Space
The gods watched from their golden data throne.
> "The Reclaimer failed."
> "Activate the Law Eater. We gave that thing the authority to consume broken rules."
> "If it eats the rewritten law, the world resets—Root User or not."

⚔️ The Law Eater Wakes
From a forgotten wasteland, buried under layers of sealed code, something stirred.
A colossal beast, made of pure divine law, began to rise.
Dozens of eyes opened across its shifting surface.
Its body was layered with chains of ancient system text.
And in its core—a pulsing hunger to devour everything unnatural.
> [Target Acquired: Rule #0008 – Rewritten]
[Mission: Purge the Lawbreaker and his catalyst.]

🛡️ A Kingdom Reaches Out
Back in the Vault, Rin received a ping from the system map.
> [Encrypted Message – Origin: Ashenfall Citadel]
[Sender: Queen Myra of Ashenfall – Subject: URGENT]
> "You don't know me, but I know what you've done."
> "You rewrote a system rule. And now… the Law Eater is coming to my border."
> "Help us, and I'll give you something no god wants you to see—Lilith's origin file."
Rin froze.
> "Lilith's what?"
Lilith blinked, confused. "What's an origin file?"
> "...Something that might tell us why the system's this afraid of you."

🧭 The Journey Begins Again
Rin checked the world map—Ashenfall was weeks away by foot.
But the Law Eater?
It was already halfway there.
> [New Quest: Reach Ashenfall before the Law Eater does.]
[Bonus Objective: Unlock Lilith's Origin File]
He turned to Lilith.
> "Time to run faster than the apocalypse."
> "Can we bring snacks?"
> "Only if they're flame-resistant."
They jumped on their demon lizard mount, Chompzilla, and tore off across the badlands.

⚠️ Final Scene – The Law Eater Speaks
Its voice echoed across code-space. A mix of thunder, prophecy, and static.
> "ONE LAW BROKEN. TWELVE REMAIN."
"THE ROOT USER SHALL BE UNWRITTEN."
"AND THE CHILD… ERASED."
