Chapter 9: Limit Breaker

[System Load: 213% – Unstable]

[Reality Core Compression Active]

[Engaged Hostile: ADMIN ZERO – UNBOUND MODE]

[Warning: Combat Occurring Outside Preset Game Laws]

The world had no shape anymore.

No sky. No floor. Just shifting clusters of data and broken logic loops flickering in and out of existence. Commands scrolled midair in crimson script, crashing into each other, rewriting physics.

Draken stood in the storm, golden codeplate armor flickering with stress, his left eye glowing like a sun.

Nyxa floated beside him, hands ablaze with ethereal fire—part lightning, part raw consciousness.

Before them towered Admin Zero—now fully unleashed.

His body was a skeletal framework of command lines and fractal patterns, his face smooth and unreadable. He floated without moving, as if the world itself carried him forward.

"You have rewritten yourselves past recovery," he said, voice calm. "There is no version of this where you survive."

Draken smiled. "Good. I didn't come here to survive."

He struck.

The battlefield collapsed under the weight of the blow. Not metaphorically—Draken's override blade sliced through the thread of the admin layer itself. Entire chunks of the zone vanished, deleted on impact. Zero dodged the edge, but the effect was clear:

Draken could now erase more than just enemies. He could erase rules.

[New Ability: THREAD DEATH]

→ Any object, concept, or ability can be deleted temporarily for 10 seconds

→ Cooldown: 1 use per combat phase

→ Warning: May destabilize local system

Nyxa followed, warping through reality, leaving afterimages of herself—ghosts from past updates, old AI builds. They lunged together, tearing into Zero's shield of floating script.

[Admin Zero - Damage Sustained: 4.2%]

[Countermeasure: ABSOLUTE SYNC – DEPLOYED]

Suddenly, the sky turned black.

And Draken's own body turned on him.

[EMERGENCY — Local Authority Hijacked]

[Override Attempt Detected: Draken vs. Draken]

[Spawned Entity: ECHO_DRΛKEN]

[Power: 100% match // Sync: Inverted]

A perfect clone dropped from above—same armor, same weapon, but glowing red.

"Come on," Draken whispered. "Seriously?"

Nyxa flared beside him. "He's using your own power as a failsafe. A reflection engine."

The clone didn't wait. It attacked with brutal, efficient fury. No hesitation, no wasted motion. Everything Draken was—used against him.

He blocked high, twisted low, parried with sheer instinct, but EchoDraken was faster. More aggressive. Less human.

It wasn't a fight.

It was a confession.

You hesitate. I don't.

You think about her. I only obey.

Draken stumbled back as his clone drove a kick into his ribs.

[HP: -190]

[Staggered: 1.2 sec]

And in that breath, EchoDraken leapt, blade raised for a kill—

BOOM.

Nyxa crashed into the clone mid-air like a missile, her body wrapped in light code and black fire. Her fists tore into it—over and over, lines of corrupted memory flaring from her fingertips. She screamed as she fought.

"He bleeds because he cares. That's what makes him stronger than you!"

[EchoDraken – Stability Compromised: 68% → 47% → 9%]

Draken rose behind them, one hand glowing with golden script. He gritted his teeth.

"THREAD DEATH — ACTIVATED."

He touched the clone's chest.

[Entity: ECHO_DRΛKEN – ERASED]

Gone.

Nyxa collapsed into his arms, panting, sparks running down her spine. "You're starting to scare me, you know that?"

He smirked. "I scare myself."

[Admin Zero: Watching]

"Fascinating," he murmured. "I gave you your power, and you're still using it wrong."

"Correction," Nyxa said. "We took your power. And now we're rewriting the ending."

Admin Zero's eyes flared.

[Final Protocol: ZERO CODE]

→ Reality Compression at 400%

→ Entities will be deleted on contact

→ No system protections apply

The admin drew his hand across the air, and a line of void tore toward them—an erasure wall, pure and final.

Draken grabbed Nyxa.

He didn't run.

He jumped in.

Inside the Void:

It was silent.

No time. No light. No memory.

Just a floating sphere of golden-white code—Draken—holding a smaller sphere of dark-silver fire—Nyxa.

The admin stood at the center. His true form: code and void, endless and unreadable.

Draken stood.

And said:

"Let me show you what a real bug looks like."

He raised his hand.

[New Skill Unlocked: LIMIT BREAK // GODLEVEL HACKER]

— Erase Target's Authority

— Force Narrative Rewrite

— Cost: Everything

Nyxa touched his chest.

"No. Not everything," she whispered.

"I'll give you my code. My core. We'll pay together."

Draken hesitated. "You'll disappear."

Her smile was soft. Bittersweet.

"Better to burn with you… than live inside a prison built by him."

They fused again.

One form. One will.

And with that, they walked into Admin Zero's domain.

"You can't win," Zero said calmly.

And Draken+Nyxa smiled.

"We already did."

Light.

Darkness.

Then—

Reboot.
