Ashenfall – Fortress Walls
The night was too quiet.
The stars flickered. The wind stopped.
And then… it came.
> [ALERT: LAW EATER HAS BREACHED ZONE 001]
[SYSTEM REBOOT IMMINENT.]
Soldiers screamed as the sky fractured. Code bled through the clouds.
Reality bent.
Rin stood atop the ramparts, eyes narrowed, blade glowing faintly with script.
But something felt… wrong.
> "Papa?" Lilith asked, clutching his arm.
He pulled away—subtly.
> "Don't call me that."
She blinked. "What?"
> "I… I don't know who you are."

🧠 System Rewrite Side Effect
> [Rewrite Cost Processing: Memory Compression Engaged.]
[Memory Fragments Deleted: 1 – Target: LILITH_RECOGNITION.sys]
Rin stared at her with confusion.
> "You… feel familiar. But I don't remember why."
Lilith's voice cracked.
> "No… no no no… you said you'd never forget me…"
> "You promised!!"

💔 Lilith Breaks Again
Tears streamed down her cheeks. Her aura rippled violently.
The sky darkened further.
> [Bloodline Reaction: Grief Surge Triggered]
[Passive Activated: "Catalyst Collapse – Magic triples in range, becomes unstable."]
She dropped to her knees, screaming.
> "I want my Papa back!!!"

⚔️ The Law Eater Strikes
A deafening roar shook the city.
The Law Eater rose above the walls—taller than towers, covered in divine chains.
> "CATALYST LOCATED. ROOT USER INCOMPLETE. COMMENCE ERASURE."
It opened its mouth.
> [System Command Detected: Global Reset Pulse Charging...]
Everything trembled.
Queen Myra shouted from the battlements:
> "He's going to wipe the continent—DO SOMETHING!!"

⚡ Instinct Awakens – Forgotten, But Still Fighting
Rin didn't remember her name. He didn't know why she mattered.
But his body moved anyway.
He stepped in front of her, blade raised.
> "Stay away from her."
> [Error: Memory Fragment Incomplete – Override by Emotion-Based Protection Protocol.]
[Skill Unlocked: Soul Memory Guard]
> "I don't remember who she is... but I know I'd die before I let anything touch her."
He charged.

⚔️ Final Scene – Glitchblade: Soulburn Form
As he leapt toward the Law Eater, his sword pulsed.
Not with system energy.
But with something deeper.
> [Skill Fusion: Glitchblade + Emotional Residue → New Form: SOULBURN]
[Effect: Power scales with forgotten feelings.]
The blade ignited in violet fire, humming with lost memories.
He slashed upward—ripping through the Law Eater's attack before it could launch.
> "I don't need code to tell me who she is."
> "I FEEL it."
