Chapter 13 – The Sovereign Rewrite
The sky didn't fall.
It unwrote itself.
Clouds reversed into concepts. Stars unraveled into ideas. Time turned sideways.
And at the center of it all stood Kaian—no longer Crownless.
No longer waiting for permission.
---
The Pen floated between his fingers, glowing with unrestrained narrative essence.
His Crown now bore six complete glyphs: Origin, Rebirth, Opposition, Memory, Erasure, and the latest—Rewrite.
Each one pulsed with chaotic equilibrium, as if the universe itself was terrified to reject him now.

The Hollow Author Trembled
It lunged again—this time not to consume, but to merge.
Because even it… the oldest erased being, the hunger that predated lore… knew what Kaian was becoming:
> Not a character.
Not a god.
But a genre.
A living rewrite protocol. A contradiction forged from absolute denial.
> "You're scared," Kaian said, stepping forward.
The Hollow Author twisted.
Kaian didn't flinch.
> "You thought you were the only mistake this world ever buried."

The Architect Watched From The Edge
In the highest citadel of the divine world, the Architect, creator of the System, turned pale.
"Activate Omega Frame," he whispered.
"But sir," one Watcher protested, "That deletes the current reality structure."
The Architect stared at Kaian's image on the screen—rewriting existence itself.
> "Exactly."

On the Ground
Kaian felt the tremor before it happened.
The world began rebooting.
Oceans faded. Skies pixelated. People froze mid-breath.
The Omega Frame had started. A last resort failsafe designed to wipe the slate clean if the narrative broke beyond repair.
He didn't panic.
He smiled.
Then he took the Pen, and with a single motion, stabbed it into his own shadow.
The act created a pulse so massive that every Watcher, Sovereign, and Architect across all planes collapsed to their knees.

[SOVEREIGN REWRITE IN EFFECT]
> Kaian rewrote the Omega Frame.
> He changed its function.
> From "Erase All" to:
> "Preserve One. Then rebuild from that truth."
---
The world stabilized.
But everything else—laws, systems, rules—was reset.
All except Kaian.
And the Godkiller, who stood by his side, whispering, "You've done it. You're the only constant now."
Kaian turned to him.
"No," he said.
"I'm just the first."
He turned to the rift. To where other anomalies—beings erased, rewritten, forgotten—had begun to awaken.
And he welcomed them back.
