Chapter 13 - Chapter 13 – “The Reclaimer Arrives. And the Rules Begin to Change”

Obsidian Vault – Moments Later

The air crackled with static as Rin stood, eyes glowing with pure code.

Lilith stood beside him—soul restored, aura stable, holding his hand.

Their bond had evolved. It wasn't just love anymore.

It was sync.

> [World Hacker Status: Active]

[New Ability: Override Chain – One permanent system rule change available.]

[Awaiting First Rewrite…]

🧠 Rin's First Rewrite

A massive system prompt appeared before him, with hundreds of core commands spinning.

He didn't hesitate.

> System Rule #0008: "Power is granted only through divine evaluation."

→ Override: "Power may evolve through emotional connection."

> [Processing Override...]

[Success. Rule Permanently Rewritten.]

The Vault shook. A shockwave of pure rewrite code burst across the world.

Demons. Humans. Monsters.

Every living being felt something shift.

> "What… was that?" whispered a knight in a distant city.

> "The system… felt different," muttered a priest in the holy capital.

And in Heaven…

> "He's begun," a god whispered.

☠️ The Reclaimer Descends

The sky tore open.

A monolithic humanoid entity, wrapped in layers of divine steel and glowing code, descended like a comet.

> [Failsafe Protocol Initiated: Reclaimer Unit_Zero Online]

[Objective: Reboot Reality Segment. Terminate Root User.]

Its face was a blank screen. Its voice echoed in binary.

> "You are in violation of system integrity. Prepare for purge."

Lilith's eyes widened.

> "Papa… he's big."

> "Yeah. But we've got bigger issues."

⚔️ The Battle Begins

The Reclaimer raised a hand—and the entire area began to dissolve, pixel by pixel.

> [Command: Local Area Reset – Attempting to erase rewritten rule.]

Rin stepped forward, script flowing from his arms.

> [New Skill Activated: "Patch Lock" – Prevent rule erasure within radius.]

> "Try me, debug boy."

Lilith clapped her hands together.

> [Skill Fusion: Chaos Bond – Sync with bonded Root User to create joint spell]

> "Let's hit him with something stupid, Papa!"

Rin grinned.

> "My favorite kind of plan."

⚡ Fusion Spell: "Emotional Uplink – Rewrite Burst"

The two merged their energy—a swirling vortex of rewritten code and pure emotion.

> [Spell Cast: Rewrite Burst – Targets a divine entity's core protocols with unorthodox logic.]

The Reclaimer stumbled.

> [System Stability Warning: Logic Conflict Detected]

[Reclaimer Core: Damaged.]

> "Impossible," it said.

> "Welcome to feelings, bitch," Rin muttered, firing another code spike through its chest.

🌀 Cliffhanger – Reclaimer Retreats

The Reclaimer, glitching heavily, retreated into the sky, warping out of reality.

> [Failsafe Incomplete.]

[Escalation Required.]

[Deploying next phase: Divine Core Guardian.]

Rin wiped blood from his mouth.

> "That was fun."

Lilith beamed.

> "We didn't even explode this time!"

But far above, the system was rebooting something far worse.

> [New Entity Awakening: Core Guardian – Class: World-Class Catastrophe]
