Chapter 38 - 38 – “Chapter Rewrite: Author vs. Editor” The Fallout After defeating the first Reader Agent, the world doesn't recover. Instead... it adjusts. Mountains rearrange. Names of cities are simplified. Side characters start disappearing. > [Editor Override: Chapter Cleanup in Progress] And then — a ripple. The sky bleeds text. A second Editor walks out of the fracture. --- 👤 Editor #2: "The Commenter" They wear a cloak of floating speech bubbles. Each one holds a line like: "Too much talking. Kill someone already." "When's the MC gonna suffer again?" "Lilith's annoying. Delete her." Their voice is many voices. > "We don't rewrite the plot." > "We just amplify the opinions that shape it." --- ⚠️ Aira's Core Reacts Aira gasps. Her Echoforge Core opens into a glowing sphere — filled with glowing comments. Some are kind. Most... aren't. > "Why does everyone want Lilith gone?" Lilith clenches her fists, looking down. > "Because I'm not easy to control." --- ✨ Lilith's Rebellion The Commenter summons her death scene again. A gold-lined Chapter: > "Lilith sacrifices herself to save the world. Her final words are overwritten." She steps toward it. Tears falling. Hands burning. > "You want tragedy?" > "Here's a plot twist." Her Miracle Flame ignites the page. And it screams. --- ✍️ Rin Writes Live Rin opens Soulburn. It shifts — into a blade made of ink and memory. He slams it into the ground. > [Root User Override: Live Chapter Insertion] [Chapter 38 — Rin Refuses to Obey] Words pour out like fire across the land. Mountains rebuild. Names are restored. Lilith stands — alive, glowing. The world pulses: > "Author detected." --- Final Scene – The Editors Panic The Commenter stumbles back, cloak burning. A message floats above them: > [Error: Story is resisting correction.] [Live Narrative Control Activated.] And then — one final line appears in the sky. > "You are not the reader." > "You are the rewritten."
