🌄 Morning – Demon Wastes Outskirts
Rin stood on a rocky ridge, wind whipping his cloak.Lilith sat on a floating rune-carpet beside him, kicking her legs, munching on demon jerky.
"So… where's the next Core?"
"Somewhere deep in the Obsidian Vault. Hidden in the ancient ruins of the first dungeon ever made."
[Quest Updated: Travel to Obsidian Vault – Distance: 310 KM][Estimated Danger Level: "You're screwed"]
"Road trip?"
"Road trip."
🛡️ Meanwhile – Aikawa's First Strike
In a small demon border village, peaceful and unaware, an explosion of golden light shattered the sky.
Aikawa descended with holy troops behind him, System Cleaver glowing at his hip.
"Rin's influence has spread. We're purging all error zones."
A child screamed as a system warning flashed.
[Holy Judgment Protocol Initiated][Demonkind: Designated as Infection Host]
Aikawa's blade cleaved the air—and deleted reality itself in a 20-meter line.Buildings, people, air—gone, like hitting "delete" on a Word doc.
"This world needs a reinstall."
✨ Lilith Hears a Voice
That night, by a fire under the stars, Lilith stared at her reflection in a pool.
Suddenly, glowing code ran across the water.
[Incoming Ping: "Hello, Little Bug"]
"Papa??"
[Not Papa. But someone like him. Older. Smarter. Hiding.][I see you. I see him. And I see what's coming.]
The water shimmered. A face appeared—half-human, half-system glitch.
[If the gods erase this world… there will be no second chance.]
[Help me unlock the next Root Gate before they do.]
[Tell your father: The code beneath the Vault bleeds.]
Lilith blinked—and the water went still.
⚔️ The Journey Begins
Rin and Lilith head out the next day with a hover-rune-sled, supplies, and a stolen demon lizard mount named Chompzilla.
As they travel through shattered ruins and corrupted wastelands…
[Error Zone Detected – Rift Energy Rising][Aikawa's presence is spreading. Core corruption increasing.]
Rin frowns.
"He's close. Too close."
Lilith suddenly tugs his sleeve.
"Papa. Someone spoke to me last night. Through the code."
"…Was it another cursed item?"
"No. He said… the code under the Vault bleeds."
"…Then we better reach it first."
☁️ Meanwhile – In Heaven
The gods sat on their thrones of pure light, watching system projections of Aikawa's rampage… and Rin's awakening.
"The Root User grows stronger."
"The Cleaver bearer cannot stop him alone."
"Should we reset Ereborn?"
A booming voice echoed from the Core Throne.
"Not yet. Let the system bleed a little longer. I want to see what kind of demon that human becomes…"
A single line of corrupted code appeared across the sky:
[ROOT THREAT LEVEL: UPGRADED TO "ERROR CLASS OMEGA"]
Ending Scene – They Reach the Vault Entrance
Rin and Lilith stand before a massive canyon—black stone walls carved with glitching runes, pulsating like veins.
[You have reached: Obsidian Vault – Core Containment Layer 2][WARNING: Script Anomalies Detected][You are not alone.]
From the shadows behind them… a voice.
"Found you."
Aikawa steps forward, blade drawn, eyes cold.
"Time to delete the bug."
