Chapter 93 - EP.93 – “The Weight of Silence”

In a world that has forgotten sin, Jiwoon begins to uncover truths no one dares to speak

[Scene 1 – The Hidden Pulse of Guilt]

Jiwoon sat alone atop the ruins of an old tower.

The sky was clear. The world was calm.

But in the shadows of silence, he could hear it.

System Fragment (faint):

[Pulse detected… Sin Frequency: Suppressed]

[Host Jiwoon: Reconstructing Trace Memories…]

Jiwoon (closing his eyes):

"There's no law anymore. No system.

But sin never needed permission to exist."

Suddenly, a voice behind him.

Voice:

"Still haunted by ghosts?"

A man stepped out—middle-aged, sharp suit, glowing Divine Mark etched faintly on his collarbone.

Unknown Man:

"You're the last remnant of a system that doesn't belong.

I'm here to make sure it stays that way."

[Scene 2 – The Enforcer of Forgetting]

Jiwoon (standing):

"So you're with the ones rewriting reality."

Enforcer:

"Rewriting? No. We're preserving peace.

That system of yours brought only war, judgment, and fear."

Jiwoon:

"And now you enforce peace by silencing guilt?"

The man raised a hand.

From his palm, golden energy surged outward—like a wave of amnesia.

[Divine Seal: "Banish Memory"]

Jiwoon narrowed his eyes as the light struck him—

but it dispersed around his armor like mist.

Jiwoon (coldly):

"You can erase their memories…

but not mine."

[Scene 3 – Judgment Without System]

Jiwoon stepped forward.

Jiwoon:

"You fear what I remember,

because it reminds you of what you did to get this so-called peace."

He raised his hand—

A black sigil burned into the air behind him.

Not from any system… but from his will alone.

[Sin Echo – Manual Activation]

Target: Enforcer

Suddenly, the man froze.

Images erupted across his mind:

A young girl crying as he dragged her away.

An innocent man executed to protect the "greater order."

Blood washed away with gold.

The enforcer fell to his knees, shaking.

Jiwoon (quietly):

"You were never righteous.

Just efficient."

[Scene 4 – A New Whisper]

As Jiwoon turned away, the ground beneath him shimmered.

Another voice echoed in his mind—

not from the system… but from the City of Sin.

Queen's Voice (whispering):

"Judgment does not require a system, Jiwoon.

It requires memory.

And you… are now its vessel."

The world may have forgotten.

But he remembers everything.
