Drain charged.

His sword glowed with a skill—Holy Edge.

Kael activated Debug Step, blinking behind him.

Exploit Injection: Terrain Node – Invert Gravity

Drain launched into the air, screaming.

Kael watched him flip and twist, completely exposed.

He leapt onto a column.

A glowing anchor point burned in the air before him.

Rollback Mark: SET
Anchor reality state for 10 seconds. Rewind on death.

Kael dropped down. Let Drain recover.

Let him charge.

Let him plunge his sword straight through Kael’s gut.

You have died.
Rollback Triggered.
Position and status restored.

Kael reappeared behind Drain, dagger raised.

He stabbed.

Critical Hit! +48 XP
Enemy defeated: Player Drain – Status: TERMINATED

Drain’s body glitched—flickered—vanished into corrupted code.

[PLAYER DELETED – NO RESPAWN AVAILABLE]

The courtyard was dead silent.

Elle whispered, “He’s not coming back…”

Lena turned to Kael. “You just killed a player. For real.”

Kael stared at the red on his hands.

“No,” he said. “The system did.”
