Chapter 1 - Episode 1: The Tower of Execution

They said I wasn't supposed to be born. That I was a glitch in reality... a flaw in the weave of fate. So they locked me away — before I ever took my first breath.

A blinding light — too white to be real.

The world smelled sterile. Silent. Controlled.

He opened his eyes for the first time not to the cries of a mother, not to the warmth of life — but to an empty sky made of code.

[LOCATION: TOWER OF EXECUTION — 9999th FLOOR]

A vast void stretched in all directions. Steel-like floors gleamed with runic glyphs pulsing beneath his bare feet. Above, swirling clouds flickered with command lines.

And in the center, a colossal crucifix-shaped pillar, bathed in digital chains. Upon it, himself.

Bound. Naked. No name. No soul signature.

Just a red brand glowing over his heart:

[NULL-CLASS ENTITY: SCHEDULED FOR ETERNAL DELETION]

A cold female voice echoed from the sky, synthetic and flawless.

"ERROR DETECTED. Null-Class anomaly found in Creation Engine."

"Initializing Purge Protocol… 00:59 seconds remaining."

His breathing quickened. But the body did not respond in fear — it was calm. Too calm.

He tried to scream.

Nothing.

He had no voice. No past. No identity.

Just instinct.

Just... rage.

Why do I exist just to be erased?

What am I... and why do I remember fire?

The chains around his limbs began to shake, reacting not to his body — but to something buried beneath it. Something waking.

"WARNING: Null-Class Entity is resisting deletion. Commencing Soul Wipe."

His eyes — blank moments ago — suddenly flickered with light.

Not fear. Not hope.

Defiance.

You erased my name. You erased my place in the stars. But you didn't erase my will.

The chains shattered — not physically, but from the inside.

A burst of invisible pressure exploded from the pillar. Code spiraled violently around him. Warnings flooded the sky like digital rain.

"ABNORMALITY DETECTED."

"ALERTING PRIME ADMINISTRATORS."

"HIGHER GODS HAVE ENTERED OBSERVATION MODE."

✦ FLASH MEMORY: 0.3 SECONDS ✦

A woman crying.

A burning sky.

A silver crown broken in two.

A whisper: "He's not meant to awaken…"

"Purification Sequence Failing—"

He raised his arm. Not by strength — by command.

His fingers twitched. A single word, not learned, but remembered, formed in his mind:

"Collapse."

And the system obeyed.

The tower shook.

The crucifix vanished.

The sky turned blood-red.

And then—

[EXECUTION FAILED]

[ENTITY NULL IS NOW UNBOUND]

[ERROR CODE 0x0: THE SYSTEM CANNOT CONTAIN HIM]

The floor beneath him shattered like glass.

He fell through infinity.

And laughed.

Not because he remembered who he was…

But because he finally knew what he could become.
