The world has been reset. Jiwoon still holds the weight of all sin—and the power that comes with it.
[Scene 1 – Aftermath of the Reset]
The sky was eerily silent.
No system notifications. No war cries. No judgment bells.
Only Jiwoon… standing alone in the center of a shattered battlefield that no longer existed.
The world around him had changed.
Familiar mountains were gone. Cities had shifted. The laws of time and space had bent.
Jiwoon (inner monologue):
"This is no longer the same world. I didn't reverse time—I rewrote everything."
And yet… he could still feel it—
the pulse of absolute power surging through his veins.
The Ebonwyrm Exordium glowed like molten sin upon his chest.
The Abyssal Qirin stood beside him, silent but alert.
He had reset the world…
but his power remained untouched.
System Message (faint):
[World Protocol Reconstructed.]
[System Interference… Locked.]
[Power: Unsealed (Temporarily Full Access).]
[Scene 2 – Signs of a Broken World]
Jiwoon began walking.
Villages he had once passed were now ruins.
Towns he remembered were inhabited by strangers who knew nothing of the Sin System.
People were laughing. Smiling.
As if they had never carried guilt. As if no one remembered what judgment was.
Jiwoon (grim):
"They've forgotten… everything. There's no more sin… because they don't even know they sinned."
He clenched his fist.
Jiwoon (quietly):
"But I remember."
[Scene 3 – Encounter With the Last Remnant]
Suddenly, from the broken road ahead, a cloaked figure appeared—
A wandering soul who hadn't fully reset.
Mysterious Man:
"You… you're the one. The Resetter."
Jiwoon didn't answer.
Man:
"The world changed. But the guilt in me… it stayed.
I still remember the screams. The fire. My sins—my real ones."
The man dropped to his knees.
Man:
"Please… Judge me."
Jiwoon stared.
For the first time since the reset, someone remembered.
Jiwoon (walking past him):
"Not yet.
The new world hasn't decided what kind of sinner you are."
Jiwoon (to himself):
"But it will. And I'll be there… watching."
[Scene 4 – Cliffhanger Ending]
High above, in a hidden layer of reality, an ancient force stirred.
A presence that had been locked away since the dawn of the first sin…
Unknown Entity:
"So… he's returned.
The one who swallowed the world's guilt."
"Then let's see how long he can hold it."
