Devourer: Echoes of the unwritten

[Scene: Southern Zone – Death Silence Expanse]

The desert stretched wide. Flat. Windless.

Except it wasn't sand.

It was dust from bones—billions, ground into pale ash.

And in the center, like a spike from hell, stood the Bone Pyramid.

Each step made from compressed skulls.

Every wall etched with glowing scripture in a dead language.

It didn't just sit there—it breathed.

This was the domain of the second Thief.

⚠️ [ZONE IDENTIFIED: ARCHITECT'S DOMAIN]

Owner: Subject #002 – Grave Architect

True Name: Levia Sol

Age: Unknown

Class: Architect of Afterlife

System Status: 89% Corrupted

Danger Level: Reality-Class

[Scene: Kaito's Descent into the Bone Pyramid]

Kaito stood at the base.

Wind didn't blow.

Time didn't move.

But voices whispered—hundreds of them, old, broken, begging:

"Don't climb…"

"She doesn't kill…"

"She stores."

He took one step forward.

The pyramid responded.

The bones rearranged themselves into stairs.

An invitation.

[Scene: Inside the Pyramid – The Architect Appears]

Kaito entered the central chamber. A hollow cathedral of death.

At the far end, a throne of ribs and memory crystals.

And on it sat Levia Sol—white gown. Skin gray like moonlight. Eyes… glass. No pupils.

She smiled without warmth.

"Devourer."

"You bring death wherever you walk."

"But I… keep it."

Kaito's eyes narrowed.

"You're using my rewrite to trap souls."

"That wasn't the point."

Levia tilted her head.

"Purpose is for gods."

"Design is for architects."

She raised her hand—

And the entire room shifted.

[Scene: Battle Begins – Memory Constructs Spawned]

The floor cracked.

Three bone statues rose—exact replicas of Reina, Yuna, and young Kaito.

Their auras were real.

[ALERT: MEMORY CONSTRUCTS – BUILT FROM DEVOURER'S DELETED TIMESTREAM]

They attacked simultaneously.

[Scene: Combat – Emotional Warfare]

Kaito dodged Young Kaito's claw strike.

Countered Reina's spear with a burst of Systembreaker Pulse.

But Yuna's construct whispered as it passed him:

"You left me behind."

"You're not saving the world. You're replacing it."

Kaito faltered for a second.

[Emotion Spike Detected: REGRET]

[Void Core: Stabilizing…]

He roared, releasing a pulse of pure rewrite code—tearing through the fakes.

But Levia only clapped once.

"Correct. They were not to kill you."

"Just to remind you who you used to be."

[Scene: True Battle – Levia's Divine Blueprint]

Levia stood, dress trailing like smoke.

She drew a sigil midair—her Blueprint Glyph.

"You write systems. I write consequences."

She placed the glyph onto the ground.

Reality flipped.

⚠️ [DOMAIN EXPANDED: GRAVE DESIGN – INVERTED LIFE]

– Every damage dealt now heals

– Every kill attempt creates a memory shard

– If 3 shards are created, Architect can rewrite the attacker

Kaito felt it immediately—his latest attack restored the bones he shattered.

He stopped.

"You can't win like this."

"You're just delaying collapse."

Levia floated higher.

"I don't want to win."

"I want you to understand what it means to be responsible for life after death."

[Scene: Kaito's Answer – Divine Rewrite Protocol]

He activated a new command:

[Override Command: Soulroot Sever – Level ???]

His hands glowed black.

He cut the tie between his emotions and her memory constructs.

Levia gasped.

"You… rewrote memory anchors?"

"But that's forbidden…"

Kaito's voice echoed:

"I'm not a player."

"I'm the rewrite."

He pointed upward.

A new command burned into the pyramid's ceiling.

✅ [Devourer Command Executed: Collapse False Afterlife]

– Grave Pyramid Integrity: 0%

– Domain Owner Status: Sealed

[Scene: End – Pyramid Collapses]

Bones exploded outward like a sandstorm.

Levia fell from the air.

Kaito caught her.

Her body flickered—but didn't fade.

"Why… spare me…?"

"I just wanted… a place for the forgotten…"

Kaito closed her eyes gently.

"Then don't forget why you started."

[System Alert: Second Thief Defeated – 2/12]

New Passive Gained: Blueprint Breaker – You can now resist zone-specific logic.

Trait Acquired: Death Delay (A-Rank) – Grants immunity to instant death skills.

[Final Scene: Underground Server – Another Thief Reacts]

A humanoid figure of pure flame sits inside a data-furnace.

It watches Kaito's victory.

"Two down…"

"Let's see if the god can stand fire next."
