🌱 A New Beginning
The war was over—for now. The skies over Earth Alpha were no longer entirely red. Monsters still roamed, corrupted systems still echoed across dead cities… but something new pulsed in the ley lines.
Hope.
Rishabh stood atop the golden cliffs of Nirvana's inner core—a dimension grown from his System, hidden between folds of time and law. With System 3.0 stabilized, he had one vision:
"We make an academy. One the heavens will fear."

He smiled.
"Name it: The Eternal Code Sect."
[Registered: The Eternal Code Sect – Academy Class Status: Divine-Level Authority][Permissions Granted: Soul System Contracts | Forge Templates | Temporal Training Chambers | Inheritance Halls | Forbidden Trial Vault]
🏯 Academy Layout
The Nine Core Peaks – Each devoted to a system principle (Forge, Law, Chaos, Soul, Time, Body, Weaponry, Spirit, and Unknown).
The Codeheart Tower – Where the System Core pulses, connected directly to Rishabh's soul.
The Echo Arena – Where disciples fight illusion-constructs of past threats, including Ashura, Syntheos, and Bodhidharma's shadow.
And at the center…
A tree, older than time itself.
The Root of Bodhi.
🧑🎓 First Disciples
Ji Mei – Named Co-Founder and Peak Lord of the Soul Code Hall. She trains those with emotional resonance and betrayal-linked powers.
Yuan (Broken Ghost) – Teaches data-forged illusions and anti-system hacking in Peak of Chaos.
Chotu – Now a Peak Master of Body Fusion Hall, after merging with a divine beast and surviving. His form shifts wildly, but he's strong—and growing stronger.
But Rishabh reserved a spot for ten new legendary disciples—the Ten Codeseekers—yet to be chosen.
🌌 System Training Begins
Using System 3.0's Forge Mode, Rishabh began crafting "Mini-System Seeds" infused with fragments of his core.
Each disciple receives:
A Unique System Class tailored to their soul
Personal Realm Time Loop (1 hour = 1 year of training)
A Trial Path that unlocks one Divine Skill if completed
These weren't just cultivators—they were living weapons forged from destiny's bones.
📜 But Peace Is Always Temporary
As the academy settled, a dark transmission slipped through the ley lines…
A dream plague spread among sleeping mortals—infecting them with visions of a strange black void where a man floated, his body made of system fragments.
He spoke:
"I am the First One to Eat a System."
"And I am… still hungry."
😨 Rishabh Recognizes Him
From the fragments, from the corrupted aura, from the devouring nature…
"That's… not Syntheos.""That's The Devourer. The one we once chained beneath the Reality Engine."
His voice trembled.
"He wasn't supposed to be able to dream."
"He's waking up."
