🌌 System Space – Between Realms
[Would you like to accept Root Access?][Y/N]
Rin hovered in a void of shifting code and half-deleted stars.
The voice that spoke wasn't divine. It wasn't demonic either.It was machine-like, ancient, raw… yet somehow familiar.
"...What's the catch?"
[Root Access grants override privileges. System laws may be rewritten. You will be hunted.]
[Only one being can hold Root Access. The others will try to erase you.]
[Proceed?]
Rin exhaled, fingers twitching.
"You really think I'm scared of being hunted? I've been dodging social interaction since age 14."
He hit [YES].

Rin grinned. "That's the most honest system message I've ever seen."
🌍 Back to Reality – Demon Wastes Fortress
He awoke to the scent of ash and… stew?
Lilith sat beside him with a worried pout, stirring a black bubbling pot.
"Papa, you're awake! You were out for a whole day. I made… food."
Rin peeked in the pot. Was it moving?
"Lilith, is that stew or a baby mimic?"
"...Yes."
He chuckled, groaning as he sat up.
[You are now permanently tagged by Heaven as "Anomaly-Class Threat."][All Divine AI Protocols will pursue you across realms.][Wanted Status: Global]
"Great. First time being a dad, and I already got us blacklisted from Heaven."
🏛️ Meanwhile – Demon Capital, Abyss Throne
The Demon Council sat in a massive obsidian chamber. Fire crackled in braziers. Magical sigils floated in the air, pulsing with blood contracts.
A demonic woman with four horns slammed a scroll on the table.
"Valtazar is alive. His soul signature reactivated."
"Impossible. He died with the Demon King."
"He didn't just revive—he wiped a Divine Construct. Solo. In a Trauma Rift."
The room fell silent.
Then came a slow clap.
From the shadows emerged a man in a black coat, silver eyes glowing faintly.
"Guess Daddy's back..."
🧑💻 Back on Earth – Tokyo, Cyber Intelligence Facility
Subject: Rin KatsuroStatus: DeceasedBody: Never recovered
A man stared at a screen. Blonde hair. Eyes glowing blue.
"So that bastard really uploaded his soul before dying…"
He walked to a machine humming in the corner—a dimensional gate prototype labeled: "Project Return."
"Let's see what's so special about your little isekai, Rin."
[Initiating Transfer Protocol...][Target Realm: Ereborn]
Lightning surged.
The screen flashed red.
[New player has entered the world: "Aikawa Kento"][Class: Cyber Paladin][Objective: Kill Rin Katsuro. Retrieve Root Access Key.]
🌀 Back with Rin – Final Moments
Lilith sat beside Rin as the sun set over the wastelands.
"Papa… I don't want to run forever."
Rin looked up at the sky, eyes glowing faintly.
"We won't run."
"Then what'll we do?"
He stood, wrapping a broken cape around his shoulders.
"Simple."
"We'll crash the system."
