The forest around Greenhollow seemed normal again, but T Ken knew it wasn't. Every leaf, every stone, every blade of grass now existed under his gaze with a fragile obedience. Even the wind whispered differently, as if hesitant to disturb him.
He sat cross-legged on the forest floor, eyes closed, hands hovering above the dirt. The Ω∞D System's Forbidden UI pulsed behind his eyelids, symbols spinning, alive, and aware.
[Over-Existence Tier Status: 0.001% Unsealed]
[Available Function: Command Rewrite (Basic)]
[Warning: Effects may be irreversible.]

First Command
He exhaled and focused on a simple thought: Let that falling branch stop before it hits the ground.
In an instant, the branch halted midair, hovering as though time itself had frozen it. T Ken blinked. His heart raced.
[Command Executed: Local Reality Rewritten Temporarily]
It was simple. It was dangerous. And it was… exhilarating.
"Only one function," he whispered. "Just one. But it's enough."

Testing Boundaries
T Ken stood and extended his hand toward the forest path.
A puddle froze mid-splash.
A falling leaf reversed its motion.
A rabbit tripped in midair, then landed safely as if nothing had happened.
Everything responded to his intent, bending to a rule he created on the fly.
The System reacted, glowing brighter than ever:
[Authority Detected: User successfully executed Command Rewrite]
[Suggestion: Experiment with higher complexity.]
T Ken's mind raced. What else could he do?
---
The Reality Split Blade
He focused on creating a weapon. The System responded instantly, a swirling mass of energy and nothingness coalescing into a blade that folded space around its edges.
Reality Split Blade — Prototype
Cuts through physical and magical matter
Can interact with things that never existed before
Temporarily separates concepts from reality
T Ken swung. The air itself screamed. A fallen log was cleaved, yet it reappeared intact a second later, untouched but displaced in time.
"This… this is insane," T Ken muttered.

A Test of Control
To test his limits, T Ken created a small arena:
Trees bent and twisted
Rocks levitated
Shadows shifted unnaturally
He then summoned a flock of birds—then paused their flight midair. Then returned them to motion. Then reversed their flight paths completely.
Every action was obeyed perfectly. The System whispered in his mind:
"You are learning faster than expected. But beware—Command Rewrite is only a fraction of what Over-Existence allows."

The Lesson
T Ken knelt and rested his head on his knees. He could feel the weight of power pressing on him—not physically, but conceptually.
This was not just strength. This was authority over the world itself.
Even a single function, if used carelessly, could erase or rewrite things permanently.
And yet…
He had survived. He had experimented.
And he had grown.
"This is just the beginning," T Ken whispered.
"If I can master this… then nothing can stand in my way."
The System shimmered behind his eyes, waiting, alive, ready to reveal the next function.

Chapter 14 ends with T Ken successfully using his first Over-Existence function, testing limits with the Reality Split Blade, and beginning to grasp the true weight and responsibility of his power.
