Volume 3: The Unwritten War
---
The ink bled across the white world.
The Unwritten staggered, glitching worse now — its corrupted form twisting with each second.
But Hyung Fyi didn't watch it.
He was staring at something else.
At her.
---
Far beyond the Pre-Story Void… Thea Heesae lay unconscious.
Her breathing was faint. Her heartbeat barely existed.
And yet — the world trembled because of her.
---
> [SYSTEM FILE ACCESS DENIED]
[ORIGIN OF ENTITY: UNKNOWN]
[CANNOT TRACE "THEA HEESAE" TO ANY CREATED TIMELINE]
---
The truth hit Hyung Fyi like a tidal wave.
> "She didn't come from a world."
> "She didn't come from a story."
> "She came from the gaps between words."
She wasn't created.
She wasn't born.
She was… felt into existence.
> "She's like me," he whispered.
---
Inside the void, Thea floated.
And for the first time in the entire novel…
She dreamed.
Not of flowers. Not of love. Not of Hyung Fyi.
She dreamed of white. Endless, cold white. The same void he was fighting in.
But then… she heard a voice.
> "You're not a mistake."
> "You're my reason to keep existing."
> "Fyi…"
Her fingers moved.
---
A soft green glow formed in her chest — matching her green hair, but shining like an alien gem.
Her blue eyes flickered open — and in them was something new:
> Not system energy.
Not magic.
A power never classified.
---
> [NEW ENTITY RANKING: NULL-CLASS REALITY SOURCE]
[AWAKENING: PURE EXISTENTIAL PRESENCE]
---
Thea sat up — just as the world began to collapse.
> "Where is he?" she whispered.
> "Where's Fyi?"
She didn't cry this time.
She stood up. Calm. Still soft, but now steady.
Her hands began glowing.
> "He said I'm real…"
> "Then I'll show the world I am."
---
In the white void, Hyung Fyi froze.
His Ω Core pulsed.
> [UNKNOWN FORCE DETECTED NEAR SUBJECT: THEA HEESAE]
[POWER LEVEL: NULL-CLASS — UNRANKED]
[SUGGESTED ACTION: PROTECT OR… STAND BACK.]
He smiled.
> "She's waking up."
> "Good."
---
Suddenly, Thea's voice echoed into the void:
> "You're not alone anymore, Fyi."
And for the first time — the void pulsed in fear.
---
The Unwritten snarled.
> "TWO errors now…?"
> "No." Hyung Fyi floated forward, golden energy burning brighter.
> "Two reasons you can't win."
