The world was quiet.
Since claiming the Throne of Ashes, Yui had rewritten much of what had been lost—reviving characters, sealing corrupted realms, and finally stabilizing the System. But peace never lasted in a story still being read.
That night, the stars flickered.
And one by one… they vanished.

The Red Pen Descends
A rift tore through the sky—clean, surgical.
Through it stepped a figure dressed in editor's red robes, with eyes like blinking cursors and a pen longer than a sword.
> "You were never meant to wake up," said the entity. "This world is an unfinished manuscript… and we've come to trim the fat."
Azarion moved in front of Yui.
> "Touch her, and you'll burn."
But Redline smirked.
> "Touch her? Oh no. I'm here to revise her."

Yui's Choice
Yui stared at the enemy who wasn't a villain—but a rule.
She gripped the white quill tighter, her voice steady.
> "You want to erase me? Then you'd better read my story first."
And the world shook—not from magic, but from resistance.
Somewhere in the heavens, the Library of Endings began to awaken.
