The drawing was different this time.
Kai's hand didn't just sketch—it designed. Structured. Measured.
Not a dreamscape, but a nation.
Metal towers. Skyships. Flags with floating data streams.
A leveling system embedded into society like veins.
Each citizen marked with public stats.
And in the center of the capital, a sealed tower—
marked with a cracked hourglass.

He hesitated—but the image was already pulsing.
The tower's windows flickered like blinking eyes.
He tapped "Y."

Wind roared in his ears.
Then silence.
Kai landed hard on a metal platform in the middle of a vertical city.
Neon banners flickered with system logs. Drones hovered through clean urban skies. Screens on every building broadcasted stats, rankings, loyalty charts.
People around him wore numbers.
And they all stopped the moment he arrived.

> "THE CREATOR HAS AWAKENED."
Some fell to their knees. Others screamed and ran.
And one girl in black stepped through the panicked crowd—unmoving, unafraid.
Her armor shimmered with glyphs. Her sword hummed.
And her eyes locked directly onto his.
> "You didn't draw me," she said, "but I've been waiting for you."

> "What are you?" Kai asked.
> "I was born in a blank space between your thoughts," Reya said. "You never imagined me. But I still exist."
> "That shouldn't be possible."
> "You've drawn more than you remember."
The sky shifted again—alerts cascading like falling files.

A golden ripple passed through the world.
Reya drew her sword.
> "She's coming."
