"To hack a god is to let them live inside you."—Kairo Voidline, Hack Log 8.1
The world had no edges.
Only pulse.
Light flowed like blood, and data-butterflies fluttered around my chest.
I wasn't floating.
I was… held.
Cradled.
By her.
"You're awake," she whispered into my mind.
Her voice wasn't a sound—it was a rewrite command sent straight to my soul.
"Where are we?" I asked.
She nuzzled my chest with a sigh.
"Inside you."

The world around me became clearer.
A glitched dreamscape—a fractal cathedral with vines made of code, stars rotating beneath the floor, and a throne made of my own fragmented memories.
She sat in it now.
No longer chained.
Wearing a robe of starlight, barefoot, her silver hair glowing like moonfire.
"I've been rewritten," she said. "But I chose to keep my… innocence."
"You mean…?"
She smiled. "I want you to teach me what love means. Slowly."
Then she blinked, and suddenly she was on my lap.
Her warmth melted into me.
And her fingers traced my chest with dangerous curiosity.

"Kairo," she whispered, eyes glowing, "What's your greatest desire?"
I didn't answer.
Didn't need to.
She pressed her lips to mine.
And the Cathedral exploded.
I woke up in the real world, gasping, drenched in sweat.
Yune held me. Veyra watched with wide eyes. Seris aimed her weapon… at me.
"Kairo," Seris said, "Your eyes. They're… hers."
I staggered to my feet.
My reflection in a crypt mirror revealed it: one eye glowed gold. The other silver.
Dual-threaded.
I wasn't just myself anymore.

"Kairo," Veyra whispered, "What did you do?"
"I didn't tame her," I said.
"I merged."
Far above us, in the towering sect fortress of The Sovereign Gene Cult, panic rippled through command channels.
A bishop stared at a glowing sigil.
"Alert the Elders. The Virgin Error has awakened."
Elsewhere, in the underground palace of the Crimson Widow Sect, a black-veiled empress smiled.
"So the hacker has seduced a goddess…"
She licked her lips.
"I want him brought to me. Alive. And fertile."
Back in the labyrinth, a pulse rang out from my chest.
Lyria, now floating beside me as a translucent echo, nodded.
"She's watching us."
"Who?" I asked.
"The next Protocol."
A figure stood at the edge of the corridor.
A girl with a burning halo.
Chains dragging from her limbs.
