After the situation calmed down, Dhib treated both Rinma and Dazkor. As for Kalia, she was fine; she had only lost consciousness.
Zokaro sat waiting for them to wake up. He felt that Dhib was deceiving him and had not treated them, so he spoke to him through telepathy.
Zokaro: Did you really treat their injuries? Why haven’t they woken up yet?
Dhib: I have treated them. They will need some time for their bodies to heal completely and regain their vitality, because my energy spreads through the body to heal all damage.
Zokaro: I see. Thank you for your work.
But tell me, why were you looking for me?
Dhib: I had a dream that I could find a master whom I could protect and serve until the day I die.
Zokaro: How do you know that I am your master? You could be mistaken.
Dhib: Because you are a child born after this year, and also because you were able to speak with me.
Zokaro began to think: Dhib’s dream was to find a master, but he would die without finding one.
Now he has accepted me as his master… Am I changing the events of the story?
Dhib looked at Zokaro with curious eyes: My lord, you are not an ordinary child. Could it be that you are trapped in this body with these humans?
With a single word, I can get rid of them all and find a way to return your original body to you.
Zokaro angrily: Do not touch them! They are my family. I am just a strong child, and there is no need for you to know everything about me.
I will sleep for a while. After my mother, father, and sister wake up, speak to them politely.
Dhib: As you wish, my lord.
Zokaro lay down and closed his eyes. A light cold breeze blew. Zokaro was asleep, but behind his sleep he was in a white, cube-like place. He was there in his young adult body, imprisoned.
He was shocked by his appearance while being trapped there. He did not know what to do or where he was, until the System appeared before him.
System:
Welcome, Ruler.
You are the founder of that world. The world changed due to a devastating external phenomenon, and the end of the world has occurred, and you are now inside the second founded world.
You must advance and rewrite the new world and save it from destruction, contrary to the original story that you wrote.
Zokaro, shocked and not understanding: How did the world end, and I must rewrite it? Explain.
System:
Your mission is to save the world from destruction, for you are its founder and ruler. Save humanity.
You must also face the external being, Feltim. For this, you must develop your abilities, but a long road lies ahead.
Zokaro: Who are Feltim? I do not remember them in the story.
System:
I cannot explain everything now. All you need to know, if you want you and your family to survive,
is to spread peace in this world. To do that, you must become stronger.
Zokaro: How will I rewrite the world?
System:
By becoming stronger and changing the course of the story’s events and ending the destructive ending for humanity.
I will also provide you with assistance to help you understand your own novel.
Zokaro: I understand. But what about Dhib? Why does he call me master, when he was supposed to die without a master?
System:
Dhib is your ally now, and you have changed the course of the first events and rewritten Dhib’s fate by giving him a master.
Zokaro was confused. The System before him was turning the world’s events and his story into fate. What stupidity— a story he wrote becomes the fate of the world of fantasy and reality. These were his inner thoughts.
Zokaro: Fine. I have no choice. I am stuck in this world, and I must save my family.
And I will also pursue my revenge. I will change the course of the world and eliminate all my enemies.
After a few minutes, in the real world, Zokaro woke up. He looked at his mother holding him in her arms, frightened, while his father was preparing to fight.
Zokaro looked at Dhib and began to speak to him.
Zokaro: What is happening here, Dhib?
Dhib: Shortly before you woke up, your mother woke up. She saw you lying next to me and panicked in worry, so she attacked me with explosive magical strikes.
Then she held you in her arms. I tried to explain, but your father woke up. As you can see, I am now in a situation where I do not know what to do, and you told me not to harm them.
Zokaro: I understand. Tell them what I will tell you to resolve this problem.
The world ended the moment his story became real.
Zokaro was a failed novelist who poured his life into a world no one cared to read.
After finishing his story, he believed everything was finally over.
Then the world collapsed.
When he opened his eyes again, he was no longer who he once was—
reborn into the very world he had created, surrounded by familiar faces that were no longer the same.
Monsters he once imagined now roam freely.
Characters he wrote now shape reality.
And the ending he knows is one where no one survives.
Armed with forbidden knowledge, a body that refuses to break,
and a darkness that slowly awakens within him,
Zokaro must decide whether to follow the fate he wrote—
or destroy the world again to rewrite it.
