"Every law begins as a story someone was brave enough to tell first."
Location: Library of Futures – Sealed Section
Jiwoon stepped into the new chamber.
No combat. No alarms. Just shelves of light.
But unlike other archives, these were all… empty.
Blank tomes. Unlabeled scrolls.
One massive book sat at the center, pulsing like a heartbeat.

A Choice Beyond Judgment
Jiwoon touched the book.
It didn't open with words.
It opened with a question:
"Will you write what comes next?
Or leave the world to decide for itself?"
Memories rushed in—
The tribunal's cold verdicts.
The enforcers bound by code.
The people… confused, desperate, unseen.
Jiwoon whispered:
"What if I make it worse?"
And the book answered:
"Then you will learn.
And others will learn from your pain.
That, too, is justice."
Echo from the Past
Suddenly, a voice—one he hadn't heard since before his awakening.
Ahra.
"You've come further than any of us dared.
But remember, Jiwoon—justice is not just power.
It's a promise."
The book lit with golden flame.
Pages began to fill with glowing ink—
but only as Jiwoon thought.
First Sentence
Jiwoon wrote:
"No judgment shall be passed without context, consequence, and a chance to choose."

End Scene
As the pages turned, Jiwoon didn't feel omnipotent.
He felt… responsible.
Because now, the system wouldn't just carry law.
It would carry his beliefs.
"A new system is born not when code is changed,
but when someone chooses to be better than the last."
