Chapter 47 - I Reject Heaven
We did not open the red gate.
We attacked the golden one.
Everyone called that impossible.
Perfect.
Mira expanded the Free Zone upward.
Lyra used her lock fragment to disrupt the gate's authority.
Fen led old Heavenbreaker ghosts through hidden transit lines.
Jace rang all Nine Bells until they shattered.
Rook sold front-row tickets.
I climbed the air itself using No Rank.
Heaven's Judge waited above.
"You cannot ascend without permission."
"I'm not ascending."
I stepped higher.
"I'm trespassing."
Her crown released nine laws.
Gravity.
Silence.
Stillness.
Obedience.
Each one pressed down.
I entered No Rank between them.
One breath.
One step.
One breath.
One step.
The Judge's certainty faded.
"What are you?"
I thought about every label thrown at me.
F-rank.
Failure.
Candidate.
Key.
Host.
I shook my head.
"Kai."
I reached the golden gate.
The system displayed a single option.
[ASCEND]
I touched it.
Then dragged the button off the window and threw it away.
The interface glitched.
A second option appeared.
[ENTER.]
May you like
That one I chose.
