Auron stood before the being that had emerged from the rift. Its presence was both a command and a warning, the weight of it pressing down on him like a thousand hands wrapped around his chest. He could feel the world around him shudder, reality itself bending under the sheer force of this new entity.
The Awakening—its voice reverberated in the air, shaking the very atoms around them.
> "You've opened the gate. Now, the real game begins."
Auron's smirk didn't waver, though his pulse quickened. The last thing he would do was let this being think it could intimidate him. If there was one thing Auron had learned, it was this: never show fear.
> "Game?" Auron's grin spread. "I thought we were past that point. This is war."
The Awakening's dark eyes glimmered as it observed him. Auron could feel the weight of the entity's gaze like a cold knife cutting through his skin.
> "You think you can challenge me? You, who was never meant to even exist beyond the parameters of the Codex?"
Auron chuckled, rolling his shoulders as if shrugging off the pressure. "I was never meant to exist, sure. But that's just the first mistake you made."
The air around them crackled, energy buzzing like an untamed storm.
> "And what's the second?" The Awakening leaned forward, its voice a calm whisper now, a contrast to the storm in the air.
> "Thinking you have the upper hand," Auron replied, his voice cutting through the silence like a blade. "You're just another player on a board I'm about to flip."

Outside the Codex…
The world was a wreck. The servers, the screens, all of it had crashed, but the buzz—the crackling electricity of something unseen—still hung in the air. People stared at their blank screens, waiting for something—anything—to happen.
And then, the whispers started.
> "What is this? What happened?"
"Is this real? Or is it just another glitch?"
"Did Auron just destroy the world?"

Inside the Codex…
The Awakening's form shifted, as if considering Auron's words. Then, it spoke again, and this time, Auron felt a pulse in the air, the tension thick and heavy.
> "You should've stayed in your lane, Glitchborne. The world you think you've controlled is a mere echo of what I am."
Auron's eyes flashed with defiance.
> "Your world?" he scoffed. "You're just a glitch, too. A higher-tier glitch, sure. But just another bug in the system."
The Awakening's eyes narrowed, and for a moment, it almost seemed to smile—though it was a cruel, twisted thing.
> "What if I told you... you were never supposed to be a player at all? You were meant to be an antagonist, an obstacle in a story that was already written."
Auron's laugh cut through the tension like a jagged edge.
> "Spoiler alert: I never read the script."

Outside the Codex…
On every platform, on every screen, the conversation was shifting. #GlitchborneSovereign was no longer just a meme. It was a movement, a legacy. People weren't just watching—they were demanding more.
The unexpectedness of Auron's defiance—the way he refused to conform—was infectious. It felt like they were all on the edge, waiting to see how far he would push.
And when the servers briefly flickered back on, they saw the message that would send them into a frenzy:
> "Auron: The Unscripted Hero."

Inside the Codex…
The ground cracked beneath Auron's feet, reality folding in on itself, layers of possibility collapsing. But Auron stood his ground, an immovable force of will.
> "Do you get it yet?" Auron's words rang out, confident, sharp. "You don't control anything here. You never did. This is my world now."
The Awakening's form shifted, its voice a growl now, shaking the very air.
> "You think you can reshape everything? Your arrogance will be your undoing."
Auron took a step forward, his hand glowing with raw power, energy surging from him like a tidal wave.
> "Arrogance?" He scoffed. "No, no, no. This is not arrogance. This is me stepping into my own story. You... you're just the background noise."
The Awakening's fury was palpable, but Auron wasn't done.
> "You think you're the only one who can change the rules? You're not the first to come at me with that line." Auron took another step, the ground beneath him warping and bending. "I've been breaking rules since I learned to walk."
The Awakening's form twisted, as if it were tearing itself apart at Auron's words. The entity's voice trembled, its presence growing more unstable with every passing second.
> "This isn't over. You'll regret this."
Auron's grin spread, dark and satisfied.
> "I already am," he said, "but the difference is... I'm still alive. And you're about to get deleted."

Outside the Codex…
As the Awakening faltered, so did the world's grip on reality. The message appeared, not just as a whisper but a shout, breaking the silence that had lingered for far too long:
> "Auron has shattered the system. Reality is no longer guaranteed."
And in that moment, every person watching knew one thing: the story wasn't just about survival anymore. It wasn't about the Codex. It was about what happens when a glitch becomes the system's worst nightmare.
