0. PREVIOUSLY:
Raon faces the ultimate digital calamity:
To defeat the Auto-Billing Reaper, she must perform the forbidden technique…
THE ULTIMATE UNSUBSCRIBE KICK
…which will erase every subscription she has ever agreed to.
Streaming apps.
Fight-compilation channels.
Her daily "Punch Motivation" newsletter.
Her membership to Snack of the Month Club.
All gone.
Raon is… Not. Okay.
But the Reaper is floating closer, trailing invoices like wings of doom.
And the Terms & Conditions Serpent is regenerating.
And Shion is out of emergency coupons.
So Raon does the only thing she can.
She breathes in.
And kicks.

1. THE UNSUBSCRIBE KICK DETONATES
BOOOOOOM.
Raon's foot slammed into the golden "UNSUBSCRIBE" glyph with the force of ten million rejected spam emails.
The entire Digital Bureaucracy Realm rippled.
Windows shattered.
Pop-ups imploded.
Auto-play previews screamed.
Even the background music paused to buffer.
The Terms & Conditions Serpent convulsed, entire paragraphs glitching out of its body as if someone unplugged its laptop.
Raon screamed with the raw anguish of someone losing ALL her watchlists at once.
"NOOOOOO—MY RECOMMENDED TAB WAS SO CURATED!!"
Shion yelled from below, "RAON, FOCUS!!"
The serpent's core—its Clause Root—shattered.
And then Raon felt it.
A cold, empty feeling in her soul.
Like a void where algorithms used to love her.
She checked her pulseband.
All her subscriptions…
⛔ CANCELLED.
⛔ EXPIRED.
⛔ TERMINATED.
⛔ WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION EMAIL.
"WAIT—THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!" Raon screamed.
But she didn't have long to panic.
Because—

2. THE AUTO-BILLING REAPER MAKES HIS MOVE
A gust of icy wind blew past her.
Invoices swarmed behind the Reaper like locusts of debt.
His voice echoed like a thousand unread emails:
"UNSUBSCRIPTION DETECTED.
COMMENCING PENALTY FEES."
Shion's soul left her body.
Synthra Byte fainted for the second time that day.
The Reaper hurled a glowing red bill the size of a truck.
Raon dodged and the bill sliced a mountain of pop-up ads in half.
"SHION!! WHAT'S THE DODGING COST?!!"
Shion checked her tablet.
"It says: 'Each evasive maneuver incurs a RM4.90 service fee.'"
"WHAT?! THAT'S BANANAS!!"
"It also automatically rounds up to RM9.90."
"WHAT?! THAT'S, LIKE… DOUBLE BANANAS!!"
The Reaper hurled more invoices.
Shion yelled, "RAON! You have to defeat him before he bankrupts you in TRAUMA FEES!"
Raon dodged three more invoices.
Her wallet whimpered audibly.
The Reaper pointed at her wrist.
Raon's pulseband flashed:
⚠ OUTSTANDING BALANCE: RM 39.60
"FOR WHAT?!?!"
Shion flipped pages.
"…Breathing."

3. SHION'S SUPER-HACK: "PRIVACY MODE: OVERCLOCKED"
Shion leapt in front of Raon, tablet glowing like a supernova.
"I'm initiating Privacy Mode: Overclocked."
Raon gasped. "Shion, no—you'll burn out your CPU!"
Shion's glasses reflected a hundred continuous consent windows.
"I'd rather crash my neural firmware than let you die to hidden charges."
With a swipe, she unleashed a sphere of encrypted code around them.
Pop-ups vaporized.
Invoice swarms stalled mid-air.
Even the Reaper's glitching suit stopped flickering.
Raon blinked. "Shion… you made a firewall?"
Shion smirked. "Correction: I made a punch-proof firewall."
Raon grinned. "So I punch through it?"
"YES. VERY FAST. BEFORE HE FIGURES OUT MY PASSWORD."
"What IS your password, anyway?"
Shion turned crimson.
"…No."
But the Reaper was too fast.
He thrust his scythe through reality.
"PRIVACY BREACH DETECTED."
Shion screamed as numbers exploded around her:
RM 9.90
RM 9.90
RM 9.90
RM 9.90
Raon snarled. "STOP CHARGING HER FOR EXISTING!"
Raon jumped, spinning in mid-air—electricity crackling off her legs.
"SHION! FIREWALL OUTPUT AT MAX!"
Shion screamed, "KICK THE SCYTHE!!"
Raon's heel met the Reaper's weapon—
CRAAAAAACK
The scythe shattered like overdue credit.
The Reaper recoiled, invoices scattering.
"You broke his weapon!" Shion gasped.
Raon smirked.
"I break many things."

4. THE REAPER REVEALS HIS FINAL FORM
Unfortunately…
A boss is never that easy.
The Reaper's invoices merged together.
Layer on layer.
Category on category.
Fine print on fine print.
He transformed into a monstrous titan made of:
• 3,000 pages of late fees
• 45 types of service charges
• 28 overlapping subscription bundles
• And one cursed annual plan nobody remembers signing
Raon whispered, "Shion…?"
"Yes?"
"…I don't think I can kick THAT."
Shion stared at the mountain of paperwork.
"…Not unless we cheat."
Raon gasped. "SHION?!"
Shion cracked her knuckles.
"It's not cheating.
It's coupon optimization."
---
5. THE COUPON THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST
Shion reached into her jacket and produced—
A glowing, forbidden ticket.
Synthra Byte woke up just to scream:
"IS THAT—
IS THAT THE MYTHICAL—"
Shion nodded.
"THE 100% OFF EVERYTHING COUPON."
Synthra fainted again.
Raon's jaw dropped. "That thing is ILLEGAL."
"Only in eight dimensions," Shion said, shrugging.
"How did you even GET that—?!"
"Raon, focus."
Shion slapped the coupon onto Raon's chest.
Raon felt cosmic power flood her body.
Electricity.
Saving percentages.
Cashback.
Loyalty bonuses.
Free shipping.
Her pulseband flashed:
⚡ DISCOUNT MODE: AWAKENED
Raon whispered,
"…Oh, I'm gonna kick this thing into bankruptcy."
---
6. THE FINAL KICK
The Reaper raised one colossal invoice-arm to crush them.
Shion yelled:
"RAON!! APPLY THE COUPON!!"
Raon bent her knees.
Static arced across her legs.
Her foot glowed with economic righteousness.
She launched herself skyward—
A comet of discount energy—
A supernova of savings—
The Reaper swung.
Raon kicked.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM
The impact vaporized the invoice titan into a storm of shredded paper.
The sky cleared.
The realm brightened.
All pending charges—
VOIDED.
All penalties—
REFUNDED.
All recurring payments—
CANCELLED WITH SATISFACTION.
Raon landed, panting.
Shion rushed to her side.
"Raon! Are you okay?!"
Raon stared at her empty subscription list.
"…I'll rebuild."
Shion smiled.
Synthra Byte gave a thumbs up from the ground.
"Yo… that kick was, like… 200% off."
---
7. AFTERMATH (Shion POV)
Shion watched as Raon mourned the loss of her streaming library.
She sat next to her.
"Raon… we'll resubscribe your favourites."
Raon sniffled. "But the algorithm loved me…"
Shion patted her shoulder. "It'll love you again. You kick things predictably."
Raon nodded.
Then frowned.
"…Shion. I have an important question."
"Yes?"
"Does this mean we're free from all subscriptions now?"
Shion checked her tablet.
"…Almost."
"Almost?"
A single notification popped up.
A horrifying one.
A chilling one.
A legendary one.
"Your free trial of the Digital Bureaucracy Realm has ended.
Upgrade to continue existing."
Raon screamed.
Shion screamed louder.
Synthra Byte screamed even louder.
