Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 – “The World Without Code”

One Month Later – Ereborn Rewritten

The sky was warmer.

The land… no longer corrected itself.

For the first time in its cursed history, Ereborn was free.

Villages were rebuilding. Magic was no longer force-fed through system veins.

The stars moved naturally.

And in a quiet town tucked between shattered peaks—

Rin and Lilith lived.

---

☕ Morning – Their New Life

Lilith sat on the rooftop, sipping tea.

Her black-and-gold wings flickered occasionally—no longer unstable, just part of her.

She looked over at Rin, who was working on a wooden roof panel with zero skill.

> "You were a literal god for three days," she said.

> "And now you can't build a chair?"

> "Shut up. I rewrote physics, not IKEA."

They laughed.

It was quiet.

It was real.

It was terrifying.

💭 Lilith's First Emotions

Later that night, she stared at her hands.

> "So this is what peace feels like…"

> "I… like it."

She touched her chest.

> "But I'm scared."

> "Because this is the first time I have something to lose."

---

⚠️ A Visitor Arrives

A knock on the door.

No footsteps. No aura. Just… a presence.

Rin opened it—

A child stood there. No more than 7. Silver hair. Heterochromia. And eyes glowing with faint Root Thread.

> "Hi," she said.

> "My name is Aira."

> "I was born when you rewrote the world."

> "And I think something came with me."

---

⚠️ Aira – The First Child of the New World

Rin and Lilith exchanged a look.

She didn't have a system signature.

Didn't appear on magic scans.

Didn't register as human, divine, or machine.

> [Classification: NULL]

[Thread Signature: ROOT ECHO]

> "What do you mean something came with you?" Rin asked.

Aira looked past him—toward the horizon.

> "Because I've started dreaming of things that don't exist here."

> "Cities made of gods. Towers still running code."

> "And a shadow that keeps whispering your name."

---

☠️ Final Scene – Something Watches

Deep beneath the rewritten crust of the world… a signal pulsed.

> [External Thread Detected.]

[System Fragment Rebuilding in Isolation.]

[Designation: "Ereborn_Beta"]

A voice whispered in corrupted binary:

> "You killed the gods…"

> "But not the one who programmed them."

To Be Continued…
