Chapter 21: "The One Who Should Not Exist – Void Against Vow"
[Perspective: The Unwritten]
There is no name.
No beginning.
No "I."
Only static.
A broken command from the start of time.
A line of forgotten code:
> // ERROR: Character does not belong in narrative.
---
They tried to write it once.
In the First Draft of Reality.
A being with too much absence. A shape with no outline.
It was not rejected.
It was erased.
But even erasure leaves fingerprints.
And where gods create laws… there are always glitches.
And this glitch was patient.
It waited.
Beneath Raviel's code.
Beyond Boby's soul.
Outside the dreams of Tsunade's hope.
It waited… until Boby became too powerful.
Until his chains touched everything.
And in trying to bind "All That Is"… he touched what Is Not.
---
[Scene: Cracked Edge of the Garden of Cosmos – Time Frozen]
The Unwritten stepped through.
No breath. No movement.
Not even the universe dared to render it properly.
And yet… there stood Boby.
His eyes held galaxies of resistance. Chains spiraled behind him like wings made of reality.
Too sharp. Too bright.
> You.
You were not supposed to happen.
Boby didn't blink.
> "Neither were you."
---
[Perspective: The Fight Begins – Cosmic Combat Beyond Format]
The Unwritten does not strike.
It removes.
Words vanish. Light folds. Sound becomes null.
It touches the garden—and half of it stops existing.
Cherry blossoms of starlight become dead code.
Tsunade, watching from afar, grips her fists—barely able to stand the wave of nothingness.
Raviel activates a failsafe:
> "God-System Protocol: Multiverse Integrity Lock."
A hundred layers of dimension seal the fight.
But the Unwritten laughs—by deleting the word "seal."
---
[Boby's Counterattack: The Law-Chains Roar]
He swings.
Chain of Time — reversed? Denied. The Unwritten is not bound by before or after.
Chain of Memory — touches only story. The Unwritten has no backstory.
Chain of Rebirth — useless. How do you rebirth what was never born?
But then—
Boby smirks.
> "Let's try the one you can't understand…"
> "CHAIN OF INSANITY ABSOLUTE."
---
[Perspective: The Unwritten – Experiencing Fear]
It should not feel.
Should not process.
But this chain…
This impossible logic.
It binds conceptual immunity. It asks questions that shouldn't exist:
> "Why are you here?"
> "What are you not?"
> "Who were you before you were forgotten?"
The Unwritten recoils. Reality rewrites around it.
It tries to delete itself to escape.
But the chain doesn't care.
It bends author permissions. It chains the idea of being unchainable.
> What… am… I…?
---
[Scene: Raviel and Tsunade Enter the Fight]
Tsunade strikes from the side—her fist glowing with life-force.
BOOM.
Her punch does not connect with flesh. It connects with possibility.
She screams:
> "You won't take him!"
Raviel floats above, data-wings blazing.
> "Code Rewrite: Force 'Presence' Subroutine!"
She rewrites the field.
The Unwritten now exists.
Which means… Boby can finish it.
---
[Final Blow – Boby's Perspective]
Chains spin around him.
Not power.
Meaning.
He doesn't roar.
He whispers:
> "You were never a villain."
> "You were the part of us that feared being meaningless."
> "But I chose to love."
> "I chose to exist."
"And my choice... is stronger than your absence."
He sends every chain into the void:
Law
Love
Rage
Memory
Rebirth
Dream
Gravity
Space
Insanity
Nothingness
And even… one last one: Chain of the Reader's Hope.
The readers believe.
The story cannot be eaten.
The Unwritten screams—silently.
And then…
It is bound.
---
[Perspective: The Unwritten – Last Thought Before Erasure]
> I only wanted to be seen.
> I only wanted to matter.
But I was a glitch…
And Boby?
He became the narrative.
---
[Scene: Aftermath – The Sky Heals]
The Garden of Cosmos regrows.
Time flows.
Raviel wipes a tear.
Tsunade exhales with relief.
Boby… stands.
> "It's over," he says.
But in his eyes… a hint of sorrow.
Because even nothingness… wanted to belong.
---
[Last Lines: Boby Facing the Horizon]
> "I've bound the void."
> "But how do I free a soul… that never was?"
