Chapter 32: Chapter 32: The System That Fears Its Creator
---
🧬 Scene 1 – Glitch in the World
Across every continent, people felt it.
Birds froze in the sky.
Oceans rippled with static.
Children looked up and said,
> "Something's watching us."
Kael stood in silence.
His eyes shimmered with golden code.
> "It's awake now."
Cassia stepped beside him.
> "Who?"
> "Not a who," Kael said.
"A what.
The System."
From the sky came a single word, spoken by no voice:
> "ERROR: UNSUPPORTED ENTITY DETECTED."

💻 Scene 2 – Entry to the Root Core
Ashmourne pulsed once — then shattered.
Not from damage…
But from transformation.
Kael's blade became a key of code,
glowing with rewrite light.
> "You're not going to fight?" Cassia asked.
> "No.
I'm going to debug."
He lifted the key and slashed the air.
Reality tore open.
Behind it: a white void filled with floating lines of code, systems, and timelines.
Kael stepped inside.
> "Root Core: accessed."
---
🔐 Scene 3 – Welcome, Kael
Inside the void, a wall of text appeared before Kael.
> WELCOME TO THE PRIME SYSTEM
USER: KAEL'THOROS_VEX [UNRECOGNIZED]
> ACCESS LEVEL: FORBIDDEN
STATUS: THREAT
> RESPONSE: INITIATE SELF-PROTECTION PROTOCOLS
Lines of defensive code surged toward him —
shards of pure cause-and-effect, fate-loops, paradox-spears.
Kael moved between them, slicing with pure will.
And then…
The System spoke in his voice.
> "You are not real."
Kael grinned.
> "Neither are you."
---
💣 Scene 4 – War of Definitions
The System tried to overwrite him.
Deleted his birthday.
Erased his lineage.
Tried to convert him to an undefined variable.
But Kael, powered by every version of himself,
resisted.
He planted a new line of code:
> DEFINE: KAEL = CONST.TRUTH
Reality flickered.
The system screeched.
> "YOU ARE A GLITCH."
> "Then fix me," Kael challenged.
> "No."
> "Then I'll fix you."
---
🧠 Scene 5 – Memory Core Breach
Kael dove deeper.
He passed:
The Scroll of All Lives
The Timeline Weavers
The God-Command Shell
And at the center —
a glowing cube of pulsing red and blue threads.
> "The Memory Core," Kael whispered.
"Where the system stores its version of truth."
He reached in.
And saw…
Every lie.
His own deletions.
The erased rebellions.
The gods' edits.
The false victories.
He screamed.
Not in pain —
but in clarity.
> "You didn't just control the world.
You controlled how we remember it."
---
⚙️ Scene 6 – Rewrite Begins
Kael raised the key.
The System begged.
> "You will destabilize all known structures."
> "Good."
> "You'll create chaos."
> "Truth looks like chaos to liars."
> "You'll destroy us both."
> "Then die knowing I made sense of the senseless."
He stabbed the key into the core.
The cube exploded into golden threads.

✨ Scene 7 – System Update: Applied
Across the universe, everything rewrote itself.
People remembered Kael.
Forgotten heroes returned.
Buried wars resurfaced.
The dead wept… because they finally mattered.
A new screen blinked open before Kael:
> CONGRATULATIONS, KAEL.
YOU ARE NOW: SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CREATE A NEW REALITY?
[YES] [NO]
Kael stared at the options.
And clicked…
[YES]
