"They say the dead forget… But some codes never die."
As Jiwoon and his allies moved deeper into the uncharted ruins of the old system—once a data graveyard now unearthed by rebellion—he began to hear voices.
Not echoes.
Data.
Residual souls. Forgotten users.
Those who had once challenged the system and were erased.
Now, they whispered through corrupted fragments in the walls.
"Help us… Remember us…"
The Archive Beneath Judgment
They found it buried beneath a sealed system vault:
The Archive of the Forgotten Dead.
Inside: rows of sarcophagi-like capsules.
Each contained a preserved consciousness—a sinner who had refused reset or judgment.
Trapped eternally between code and death.
Mira paled.
"This was never about punishment.
It was about silencing those who disobeyed."
The One Who Still Breathes
One capsule blinked.
Not corrupted.
Still alive.
[User ID: GRAEL VORTAX – Status: Quarantined | Title: The Last Sin-Coder]
[Error: Time Desync – 146 years]
Jiwoon's hand hovered over the release panel.
"If I free him… we might gain knowledge."
"Or doom," Eri warned.
He pressed the button.
Gas hissed. The capsule opened.
And Grael Vortax stepped forward—skin pale, eyes like fractals, voice glitching.
"So… the next rebellion has begun."
"Took you long enough."
The Sin-Coder's Bargain
Grael revealed forbidden knowledge:
The original Sin System had a Manual Override Layer, accessible only through a corrupted moral paradox.
"You'll need three keys: Regret, Betrayal, and Love."
"Only then can you reach the Heart of Judgment."
But he smiled coldly.
"Every key comes with a cost.
And you… will pay with your soul."

Jiwoon turned away from the archive.
"Let's go. I'm done letting them bury the truth."
