Recap:
The Chain breaker has finally made its entrance into the world of the system, bursting through a rift that split the skies above Draewyn. This Chaos- tier Sovereign, impervious to all known mechanics, has singled out Kael Vire as a target—and possibly, a threat. Now, as Sovereigns across the land crumble in its wake, Kael stands alone, unyielding.

The world was drenched in silence.
Where the Chain breaker tread, the laws of nature unraveled.
Mountains wept rivers skyward.
Fire hung frozen in mid flame.
And time itself twisted and contorted, struggling to grasp what "was" truly meant.
It wasn't merely power.
It was *denial* made flesh.

In the Hollow Spire, Nine fold quaked.
"I can't chart it. Can't compute. It's... beyond any framework."
Kael remained still, his fingers gripping the edges of his throne.
"Then we need a throne that **defies the laws**."
Sel blinked in surprise. "A throne *beyond* the System?"
Kael nodded slowly.
"There's a place the Audit never discovered. A ruin even the First Sovereigns locked away.
It's called the **Unwritten Vault**."
Joran whistled softly.
"That's just a legend."
Kael's eyes sparkled with determination. "Not anymore."

That night, Kael's dreams weren't his own. He found himself staring at a throne suspended in the void—crafted not from solid matter, but from sheer contradiction. It wasn't really there.
And yet... it held dominion.
Names floated around it, scratched out of the annals of history.
One name still shimmered softly.
**Aelrix.** Below it, a name newly inscribed in flickering flames.
**Kael Vire.**

He awoke to find blood on his palms.
Burns shaped like ancient symbols marked his chest.
But a smile crept across his face.
"It's real."
---
The following day, the Hollow Market sprang into action.
Sel pieced together fragments of routes leading to the Vault.
Joran gathered the Tithe Guard.
Elric readied mental wards powerful enough to withstand paradox storms.
Kael stood at the forefront, the Hollow Crown glowing fiercely.
As they ventured into forgotten lands, Kael murmured: "You made me to be broken." "Now I'll claim the throne meant for monsters."

High above, the Chainbreaker tilted its head.
> "He seeks the Lawless Throne."
> "Then let us see if he is ready to rule."
