[The Core Dimension — Origin Node]
There is no light here.Only data.A universe of raw numbers folding into form — a divine machinery that hummed like a choir made of equations.
Nine thrones floated above the infinite code. Each throne held a shape — not flesh nor spirit, but something that pretended to be both.
They were called Architects.The builders of systems.The editors of existence.
They had many worlds. Many experiments.But this one — Earth — was their most entertaining.
[Architect Council — System Report #99999: Human World / Earth]
[Report Status: Unstable.]
[Error: Administrator Access Lost.]
[Interference Detected: Evelyn Park Legacy Data.]
[Unrecoverable Fragments Remaining — 0.01%.]
The voice of the Prime Architect, a being of blinding white geometry, filled the endless void.
"Another corruption report. The human world has surpassed its evolutionary curve again. The hybrid root resists control. Reset the plane."
A ripple spread across the code.Seven of the nine thrones nodded.The eighth — a shadow carved of starlight — said nothing.
[The Prime Architect]
"Reset authorization required," the Prime continued."On confirmation, this world line will revert to the clean state before the 'Awakening Event.' All anomalies, including Evelyn Park, will be permanently erased."
[Awaiting Consensus: 8 out of 9 required.]
Eight thrones glowed — except one.
The last throne sat tilted back, its owner draped lazily across it — humanoid in shape, with a grin that radiated through static. One eye flickered gold, the other void-black.
He was called The Observer.
He yawned. "Erase her? Again? That's dull."
The Prime's form flickered slightly. "You oppose reset?"
"Not oppose," the Observer said, propping his chin on his palm. "Just… tired of reruns."
[The Voice of the Architect of Order]
"The system must be clean," hissed another — a voice like shifting ice."Humanity is evolving beyond control. They were meant to simulate survival, not master adaptation."
The Observer chuckled. "Oh, I know. But that's what made it fun. Remember when that Evelyn girl broke the loop? The panic in this room was delicious."
The Prime's glow pulsed dangerously."She was a coding anomaly — a user with partial system authorization. A mistake born from cross-layer interference."
"She talked to the code," the Observer murmured, half-smiling. "You can't erase that kind of curiosity. She made your rules dance."
"Boredom is not a justification for her existence," the Prime snapped.
"Isn't it?" the Observer replied softly. "Without her, these mortals are just puppets. With her, they started breaking their strings."
[The Architects React]
The Architect of Chaos snarled, "You risk collapse of both realms. The merge with Dethra is unstable!"
The Observer waved his hand. "Oh, relax. A few demonkin never hurt anyone. Well— not too many."
Another Architect — one shaped like a massive crystalline insect — hissed, "The merge was never meant to happen this early! The Dethrans are eating the mana architecture alive!"
"Exactly," the Observer said. "They're learning. So are the humans. Isn't that the point? To watch how creation fights back when gods get lazy?"
[The Vote]
[Reset Authorization Pending…]
[Votes in Favor: 7]
[Votes Against: 1]
[Uncast: 1]
The Prime turned toward him. "Observer. Cast your vote."
He smiled, eyes flickering between gold and black."Resetting means no Evelyn. No Root anomaly. No chaos."
He stood up from his throne, walking toward the glowing sphere that represented Earth.With a snap of his fingers, fragments of Evelyn's shattered soul appeared — golden dust suspended in the void.
"I miss the noise she made," he whispered. "The way she made this world struggle. The others follow orders, she made choices."
Then he laughed — quiet, sharp, like a child breaking a toy just to hear the sound."Let's not reset. Let's watch."
[Vote Cast: Against Reset.]
[Final Count — Reset Denied.]
[The Prime's Fury]
"You play with imbalance, Observer. You risk another collapse."
"Then let it collapse," he said, turning away."Let them all fall. But if she comes back…"He smirked."…at least I won't be bored."
The Prime's light dimmed into something colder."You're meddling beyond your jurisdiction."
"Jurisdiction?" The Observer laughed. "You made me to observe. And I've been watching too long. If you can't control your toys, at least let them be interesting."
[System Update — Secret Override Detected]
[Hidden Directive Executed.]
[Observer Code Fragment Injected.]
[Result: System Core Compromised.]
[Error Detected — Evelyn Park Soul Reconstruction Accelerated.]
[Progress: 47.6%]
[The Observer, Alone]
When the other Architects vanished, the void went quiet again.The Observer sat cross-legged in the air, watching Evelyn's golden fragments swirl like starlight.
He reached out, letting one particle land on his fingertip.
"Much fun when you were here, little human," he murmured."You made even gods feel small."
He flicked the fragment toward Earth.The golden dust descended through the data stream — invisible to all but the corrupted code.
"Wake up soon, Evelyn Park," he said with a grin. "Let's break our toys again."
[System Broadcast — Hidden Layer Detected]
[Warning: Unauthorized Code Injection.]
[Source: ??? Unknown Entity — Designation: The Observer.]
[Outcome: System Instability x10]
[Soul Reconstruction: Evelyn Park — 76.2%]
[Alert: Human World — Expect New Entity Arrival.]
Only her soul reconstructed but not her physical body. It desperate, the soul. She will return but in a different body. No more connection with the world tree. New power that can go against the Demonkin.
