Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: “The Guy Above Gods Just Marked Me — Like I’m His Property”

Scene: Between Realms – The Throne Beyond Time

Dark. Infinite. Quiet.

Then… a footstep.

A throne appears — not made of stone or gold, but concepts.

Held together by faith, lies, and fate itself.

Seated there:

A being without form. Crowned in oblivion. Wrapped in prophecy scars.

The True King.

No name. No need.

He reaches down — and marks Raze from across existence.

> "You are the spark that will destroy my design."

"So I shall make you mine… or erase you."

A brand appears on Raze's back.

He screams — across reality — mid-battle, collapsing in a flash of burning void.

🧠 Kaelira — Truth of Her Birth

She returns to her mother's hidden chamber beneath the ruins of their ancestral keep.

Inside: a sealed memory orb.

She touches it.

And learns:

She was born as a tether.

A failsafe created by both divine and abyssal forces.

Her existence was engineered to either stabilize Raze…

Or destroy him if he couldn't be controlled.

> "I wasn't a sister…"

"I was a trigger."

Her hand trembles.

> "Do I love him… or am I just his leash?"

🌍 Raze — On the Run Across Realms

Portals open around him.

Not of his making.

Other worlds pull him in — each one testing him.

One realm traps him in an eternal battlefield

One shows him Kaelira's death — on loop

One sends copies of himself to kill him

Raze fights. Bleeds. Screams.

But he endures.

> "You can throw gods, time, and fake versions of me at me—"

"I'm still gonna wake up swinging."

😈 Meanwhile: Eiro — World Rewrite Protocol Begins

Inside a massive sphere of code-like runes, Eiro floats.

Each rune represents a law of the world.

Gravity

Mortality

Identity

Memory

Magic

He speaks.

Each word flips one.

> "Gravity is optional."

"Mortality is conditional."

"Identity is fluid."

"Memory… is a weapon."

"Magic is mine now."

The sky turns sideways.

Birds fall upward. Water burns cold. People forget what year it is.

Eiro opens his eyes — and smiles like a glitch in reality.

🪞 The Mirrorless — Watching It All

No one sees them.

But they are everywhere.

In reflections.

In silence.

In your blind spot.

They don't speak.

They just cross Raze's name off a list.

And write:

> "Final Chapter: Written in Reverse."

---

🌒 Final Scene: Raze Crawling Out of a Portal

His skin is cracked. His eyes are glowing.

The mark from the True King burns across his spine.

Kaelira catches him.

> "They're not going to stop."

"Let them come."

"We can't fight a king of everything."

"We don't have to."

> "We just have to become worse."
