Chapter Three: The first Rewrite
last update2025-03-10 19:17:18

Noah sat on the rooftop, his mind reeling from what had just happened. His entire life, he had believed power came from the Awakening Ceremony, from the crystal that determined one’s fate. But now, he had something else—something greater.

The Forsaken Code.

The knowledge it granted him was vast, almost overwhelming. It wasn’t just an ability—it was a system of absolute control over reality itself. But how did it work?

As if responding to his thoughts, lines of glowing symbols flickered before his eyes, shifting, rearranging, forming commands in a language he somehow understood. It was like seeing the code of the universe itself.

"Test it." The voice from before whispered in his mind, though softer now, as if retreating into the depths of his consciousness.

Noah hesitated, then glanced at a loose pebble beside him. It was small, insignificant—but a perfect test subject.

He focused on it, and the symbols shifted in his vision. A simple command formed in his mind.

[Gravity: Reduce by 90%]

Instantly, the pebble lifted into the air, floating weightlessly.

Noah’s heart pounded. He waved his hand, and the pebble drifted forward as if suspended in water. With another thought, he adjusted its weight again.

[Gravity: Restore]

The pebble dropped back onto the rooftop with a soft clack.

Noah let out a slow breath.

"This… this is real."

He had rewritten the laws of nature itself.

A rush of exhilaration surged through him, but it was quickly followed by caution. If this power was truly beyond the Awakening Crystal’s detection, then no one could know about it—not yet. He had to keep it hidden until he understood it fully.

Noah clenched his fists. Kyle, Sophia, everyone… they think I’m nothing. But they have no idea what I really am.

His lips curled into a small, determined smirk.

"Let them think I’m weak. It’ll make things more interesting when the truth comes out."

The Next Morning

Noah walked through the academy halls, feeling the weight of yesterday’s humiliation still pressing on him. Whispers followed him, students giving him pitying or mocking looks.

“There he is. The failure.”

“Can’t believe he showed up today.”

“Guess he’s used to being a nobody.”

Noah kept his head down, his hands in his pockets. Let them talk. They’ll eat their words soon enough.

As he reached his classroom, a familiar voice called out.

“Noah!”

He turned to see Ethan, his best friend. Unlike the others, Ethan’s face wasn’t filled with scorn—just concern.

“Hey,” Noah greeted him.

Ethan pulled him aside. “Why are you here, man? Everyone’s saying—”

“I know what they’re saying.”

Ethan sighed. “Look, I don’t care if you awakened or not, you’re still my friend. But…” He hesitated. “You know how this academy is. People without abilities don’t last here.”

Noah’s jaw tightened. “I’m not leaving.”

Ethan studied him for a moment. “You’ve got that look in your eyes.”

“What look?”

“The ‘I’ve got a plan’ look.”

Noah smirked slightly. “Maybe I do.”

Before Ethan could question him further, another voice interrupted.

“Well, well. If it isn’t the academy’s new mascot.”

Noah and Ethan turned to see Kyle Hastings approaching, Sophia beside him. Kyle’s ever-present smirk made Noah’s blood boil, but he forced himself to stay calm.

“Noah, you should really consider transferring,” Kyle said mockingly. “I mean, what’s the point of staying? You can’t exactly fight in the tournaments with no ability.”

Laughter rippled through the crowd gathering around them.

Ethan stepped forward. “Back off, Kyle.”

Kyle chuckled. “Relax, I’m just helping him face reality. Without powers, he’s nothing.”

Noah met Kyle’s gaze. “That so?”

Kyle crossed his arms. “Yeah. That’s how this world works.”

Noah’s fingers twitched. He could rewrite Kyle’s reality right now—make him trip, humiliate him in front of everyone. The thought was tempting, but he held back.

No. Not yet.

Instead, he smirked. “Guess we’ll see.”

Kyle narrowed his eyes, sensing something was off. But before he could press further, the school bell rang.

“This isn’t over, Carter,” Kyle warned before turning away.

Sophia hesitated for a moment, glancing at Noah with something almost like regret in her eyes. Then she followed Kyle.

Ethan sighed. “Dude, you’re playing with fire.”

Noah smirked. “No. I’m waiting for the right time to burn.”

The First Test

Later that afternoon, Noah slipped into the academy’s training hall. It was empty—perfect.

He stood in the center, took a deep breath, and focused. The symbols appeared before him again.

"Let’s see how far this goes."

He reached out and selected a target—a wooden training dummy.

[Material: Change to Stone]

The wooden dummy shimmered—and then solidified into rock.

Noah exhaled sharply. He had changed its structure, rewritten its existence.

"This is insane."

He stepped closer, placing his hand against the stone surface. Another command formed.

[Density: Reduce by 70%]

The stone instantly became lighter, as if it were hollow.

Noah grinned. I can do more than just change things—I can manipulate how they behave.

His mind raced with possibilities. Could he alter living beings? Heal wounds? Even… stop time?

His stomach churned at the thought. If his power had no limits, where did he draw the line?

He shook his head. One step at a time.

Before he could test further, the sound of footsteps echoed through the hall.

Noah quickly restored the dummy to its original state and turned.

A tall figure entered.

Professor Caldwell.

“Noah Carter.” His sharp gaze landed on him. “What are you doing here?”

Noah forced a casual shrug. “Just… thinking.”

Caldwell studied him. “I’ve been teaching for many years, Noah. And I know when a student is hiding something.”

Noah’s heart pounded. Did he know?

Caldwell stepped closer. “You are not as powerless as you seem. Are you?”

For a moment, Noah considered lying. But then he saw it—the slight flicker of curiosity in Caldwell’s eyes.

Maybe Caldwell suspected, but he didn’t know.

Noah smirked. “I guess you’ll have to wait and see.”

Caldwell’s lips curled into a small smile. “Very well. But be careful, Noah. Power hidden for too long often becomes a power feared when revealed.”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Noah exhaled.

He wasn’t sure if Caldwell was a friend or a threat.

But one thing was certain—

He had just taken his first step into a much larger game.

Noah left the training hall, his mind spinning with possibilities. The Forsaken Code was more powerful than anything he could have imagined. It didn’t just give him an ability—it gave him control over the very fabric of reality. But that power came with a cost: secrecy.

Professor Caldwell’s words echoed in his mind.

"Power hidden for too long often becomes a power feared when revealed."

Noah knew he had to tread carefully. If the wrong people found out about his ability, they wouldn’t just see him as a threat—they would try to control him, use him, or worse… eliminate him.

But he wasn’t planning on staying weak forever.

He needed to test his limits.

The Underground Arena

Later that evening, Noah found himself in the lower districts of the city, standing outside a nondescript warehouse. This was Eastwood Academy’s worst-kept secret—the Underground Arena. A place where students could fight outside of the official school tournaments, betting on their own strength.

No rules. No restrictions. Just raw combat.

If he wanted to see what his power could truly do, this was the perfect place.

He pushed open the metal doors and stepped inside. The scent of sweat and adrenaline filled the air as students gathered around a caged ring. Two fighters were already mid-battle, their abilities colliding in bursts of lightning and flame.

Noah scanned the crowd and spotted Ethan, who looked like he had just lost a bet.

“Damn it, I thought Jason had that one,” Ethan muttered before noticing Noah. “Dude, what are you doing here?”

Noah smirked. “Looking for a fight.”

Ethan blinked. “Wait, what?”

Before Ethan could protest, Noah stepped forward, making his way toward the sign-up table. A burly student, Brock, handled the matchups. He raised an eyebrow as Noah approached.

“You lost, Carter?”

Noah met his gaze. “I want in.”

Laughter erupted from the nearby students.

“Wait, is he serious?”

“No ability and he thinks he can fight?”

“He won’t last ten seconds.”

Brock leaned forward. “Look, kid, I respect the confidence, but this ain’t a playground. You’re gonna get hurt.”

Noah smirked. “Let me worry about that.”

Brock studied him for a moment, then shrugged. “Fine. Your funeral.” He scribbled something down. “You’re up next. Try not to die.”

The First Fight

Noah stepped into the ring, rolling his shoulders as his opponent climbed in.

It was a third-year student named Marcus, known for his brute strength and enhanced reflexes. He cracked his knuckles, grinning.

“This is gonna be fun.”

Noah ignored the crowd’s murmurs and focused. The Forsaken Code symbols appeared before him, glowing faintly.

"Time to rewrite reality."

Marcus didn’t waste time. The moment the bell rang, he lunged, aiming a crushing punch at Noah’s ribs.

[Momentum: Reduce by 80%]

Marcus’s fist slowed mid-air, moving like it was underwater. His eyes widened in confusion—just enough time for Noah to step aside.

The crowd gasped as Marcus’s attack barely grazed Noah.

“What the hell?!” Marcus growled, trying to adjust. He launched another attack—faster this time.

[Reaction Speed: Increase by 50%]

Noah’s body responded instantly. Marcus’s punch seemed slower, easier to read. Noah dodged, slipping past his guard and landing a clean strike to Marcus’s side.

The hit wasn’t strong, but the shock on Marcus’s face was worth it.

Noah grinned. I don’t need brute strength when I can rewrite the rules.

Marcus roared in frustration, activating his full power. His muscles swelled, veins glowing as he charged forward like a tank.

Noah smirked.

[Friction: Reduce to Zero]

The moment Marcus stepped down, his foot slid across the ground uncontrollably. His momentum carried him forward—straight past Noah.

He crashed face-first into the cage wall with a thud.

The crowd went silent.

Ethan’s jaw dropped.

Marcus groaned, staggering to his feet, his face red with humiliation. “What the hell was that?!”

Noah simply shrugged. “Bad footwork.”

Laughter erupted around them.

Marcus growled, his anger reaching a breaking point. “I’m gonna kill you!”

Noah’s expression turned cold.

[Pain Sensitivity: Increase by 200%]

The moment Marcus took a step forward, his own body betrayed him. His muscles tensed, his nerves screaming in agony as he collapsed to his knees.

He gasped, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. “W-what’s happening to me?!”

Noah tilted his head. “Maybe you overexerted yourself.”

The referee stepped in, checking Marcus. He hesitated, then raised Noah’s hand.

“Winner—Noah Carter!”

The arena exploded with mixed reactions. Some cheered, others murmured in disbelief.

Ethan rushed to the cage. “Dude, what the hell was that?!”

Noah smirked. “Just quick thinking.”

Brock, the event organizer, stared at him, intrigued. “You’ve got some interesting moves, Carter.”

Noah met his gaze. “I like to keep things unpredictable.”

Brock grinned. “I might have just the fight for you next.”

A New Enemy

As Noah left the ring, a figure watched him from the shadows. A tall, lean man with sharp golden eyes and a sinister smirk.

“So… he’s hiding something,” the man muttered.

Beside him, a woman in a dark cloak nodded. “His movements weren’t natural. He’s manipulating something.”

The man chuckled. “Interesting. Looks like we’ll have to test him ourselves.”

His golden eyes gleamed.

“Let’s see how far Noah Carter can go before he breaks.”

    Noah walked through the dimly lit streets after his fight, his mind racing. The Forsaken Code was proving to be more powerful than he had imagined. He had just taken down a third-year student without even breaking a sweat, and the best part? No one had a clue how he did it. Still, something gnawed at him. The way Marcus collapsed, the whispers in the crowd—people were already starting to suspect something. If he wasn’t careful, he’d draw the wrong kind of attention. He needed to lay low. At least, that was the plan. But fate had other ideas. The next morning, Noah found a letter slipped under his dorm room door. The envelope was plain, with no name or insignia. Only one sentence was written on the front: "Power thrives in the shadows." Noah frowned. He tore the envelope open and pulled out a folded piece of parchment.

    Noah sat at the edge of his bed, staring at the black emblem on his desk. The invitation to Blackwood Tower was more than just a meeting—it was a door into a world that operated outside the academy’s control. A world that could either give him answers… or put him in even greater danger. He exhaled sharply. He had made his decision. Tonight, he would go. Slipping out of the academy unnoticed wasn’t easy, but the Forsaken Code made it possible. He rewrote the reality around himself—bending shadows, making footsteps silent, shifting attention away when necessary. It felt… natural. Like his power was always meant to exist outside the rules. He reached the city unnoticed and moved through the dimly lit streets until he stood before Blackwood Tower. It loomed above him, dark and unmarked. No guards. No signs of life. Just an empty lobby and an elevator waiting with its doors open. Noah hesitated for a split second before stepping inside. The moment he did, the doors slid shut. T

    Noah stood in the dimly lit hall of Blackwood Tower, his heart still steadying from the fight with Killian. The whispers around him had died down, replaced with watchful stares. He had proven himself—at least enough to be acknowledged. But the true test was yet to come. Vance’s hand remained firm on Noah’s shoulder. “You see now, don’t you?” His voice was calm, yet his eyes carried something deeper—something unreadable. “You are not bound by the limitations of this world. And that is why the academy will never accept you.” Noah exhaled, his gaze flickering to the glowing symbols on the walls. “Then what exactly do you want from me?” Vance’s smile didn’t waver. “We want you to understand what you truly are.” Noah narrowed his eyes. “And if I refuse?” Killian scoffed from the side. “You won’t.” Vance chuckled. “There’s nothing to refuse, Noah. You came here seeking answers. We are offering them. What you do with them… is entirely up to you.” Noah didn’t respond. He wasn’t fooli

    The academy was in chaos.Noah, Killian, and Vance stepped out of the training chamber into a dimly lit hallway. The red emergency lights pulsed in rhythm with the blaring sirens, casting eerie shadows against the metallic walls.Students and instructors rushed past them, their expressions a mix of fear and urgency. Some students were still in their uniforms, while others were in training gear—unprepared for whatever had breached the academy.Noah turned to Vance. “Who could possibly break into a place like this?”Vance’s expression was unreadable. “Few would dare. Fewer would succeed.”Killian cracked his knuckles. “Whoever it is, they’re either insane or powerful. Either way, this could be interesting.”Vance shot him a sharp look. “This isn’t a game, Killian.”A sudden explosion rocked the building. The ground trembled beneath them, and the walls groaned under the force of the blast. Dust and debris rained from the ceiling.Noah coughed, waving the dust away. “That sounded close

Dust filled the air as he rolled to his feet, coughing.A groan came from nearby.Killian.Noah turned, spotting him sprawled on the ground, rubbing his head. “That was fun,” Killian muttered.Vance landed next, as graceful as ever. His eyes swept the dimly lit chamber they had fallen into. Massive stone walls surrounded them, covered in glowing symbols. The air was thick with an eerie presence.Noah shivered. “Where… are we?”Vance took a slow step forward, studying the markings. “The heart of the ruins.”Killian stood up, dusting himself off. “Great. Now how do we get out?”Before anyone could answer, the symbols on the walls

Can we go somewhere normal for once?”No one answered.Vance scanned their surroundings with narrowed eyes. His usual calm expression had hardened into something else—concern.Noah swallowed hard. “Where are we?”Vance’s gaze darkened. “The in-between.”Killian frowned. “In-between what?”“The past and the present.”Noah felt a chill crawl up his spine. “That doesn’t make sense.”Vance turned to him. “None of this does.”The sky above them was not a sky.It was moving.

    The ruins were silent. Not the kind of silence that came with emptiness, but the kind that listened. Noah felt it pressing against his skin, wrapping around him like unseen hands, waiting—expecting. Vance stood a few steps ahead, staring at the remnants of the ancient city. His jaw was tight, his hands clenched at his sides. Killian, usually the first to crack a joke, was uncharacteristically quiet. Noah exhaled. His mind was still reeling from what he had seen—the fire, the destruction, the way the flames had moved like they were part of him. Like he had commanded them. He forced himself to speak. “What now?” Vance turned to him. “Now, we figure out who you really are.” The words sent a shiver down Noah’s spine. Killian huffed. “Sounds great, but how exactly do we do that? Do we just—what? Hope another vision smacks him in the head?” Vance ignored him. “This place was hidden for a reason. If we dig deep enough, we’ll find the truth.” Noah’s stomach twisted. He wa

    The ruins stretched before them like the bones of a forgotten civilization, jagged and broken. Time had eroded the once-magnificent structures, leaving behind only remnants of what had been. A chilling wind howled through the crumbling arches, carrying the echoes of voices long gone. Noah’s heart pounded as he followed Vance and Killian through the ruins. The words of the shadowy figures lingered in his mind. Find the Veil. Uncover what was lost. “What do you think they meant by ‘the Veil’?” Killian asked, his voice low. Vance adjusted his gloves. “If I had to guess, I’d say it’s a place—or a barrier—between what we know and what was hidden.” Noah exhaled. “Then it’s where we need to go.” They pressed on, their footsteps echoing against stone. The deeper they went, the more unnatural the air became. A weight settled over Noah’s shoulders, a pressure that felt… aware. Then he heard it. A whisper. Faint, like a breath against his ear. “Turn back.” Noah’s body went rig

    Killian didn’t press further, and for that, Noah was grateful. He wasn’t sure he had the strength to put everything into words just yet.The fire had long since burned out, leaving only glowing embers between them, and for a moment, the world felt still. But Noah knew better than to trust stillness. The Darklands had a way of lulling travelers into a false sense of security before striking when they least expected it.“I don’t sleep much either,” Killian admitted after a moment, breaking the silence. His voice was quieter than usual, almost contemplative. “Too many things in my head. Too many things I’ve done that won’t let me rest.”Noah glanced at him, surprised. Killian wasn’t the type to talk about himself. He had always been the steady one, the fighter who never seemed to flinch, the man who never hesitated. But now, sitting in the dim light, he seemed… human. Tired.Noah hesitated before speaking. “What did you do?”Killian sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “You ever make a

The others had settled in for the night, their breathing slow and steady, but sleep eluded him.His father’s voice echoed in his mind, sharp and unforgiving. "You were never meant to lead, Noah. You hesitate. You doubt. That’s what makes you weak."Noah had always struggled under the weight of his father’s expectations. The man had been a force of nature—unyielding, disciplined, and entirely without mercy. He had trained Noah from the time he could walk, pushing him beyond his limits, testing his resolve at every turn. But no matter how hard he tried, it had never been enough."A leader doesn’t second-guess himself," his father had said, after watching Noah hesitate before striking an opponent in one of their countless sparring matches. "A leader commands."Noah had never wanted to command. He had wanted freedom, choices that were his own. But fate had other

The others had drifted into restless sleep, exhaustion finally catching up to them after the ordeal in the Darklands. But Noah couldn’t close his eyes. Not yet.He stared into the embers, lost in thought. The hooded woman’s words echoed in his mind: You didn’t just restrain it. You claimed dominion over it.A bitter chuckle escaped him. He hadn’t sought power. He never had. But power had a way of finding him, twisting itself into his life whether he wanted it or not.The memory came unbidden—his father’s voice, sharp and full of disappointment.“You hesitate, Noah. You always hesitate. And that is why you will never be strong enough.”He had been a child then, no older than ten, standing in the courtyard of their old estate. His hands trembled around the hilt of the wooden practice sword, his opponent a boy two years older, taller, stronger. The clash of training blades echoed around the

    The air grew heavier, thick with a presence unseen but deeply felt.

The terrain twisted, shifting like a living thing reacting to their intrusion.Vance walked beside him, his daggers drawn but loose in his grip, his gaze darting to the shifting landscape. "You feel that, don’t you? It’s like the ground’s... breathing."Killian exhaled sharply. "More like watching. I don’t like it."The hooded woman kept her eyes forward, her posture rigid. "It knows you now, Noah. And it’s testing you."Noah tightened his fists, the mark on his wrist pulsing in time with his heartbeat. He could feel the connection deepening, the abyssal power within him stirring in response to the land’s awakening. The knowledge unsettled him—but fear would do him no good. He had already chosen this path.Then, without warning, the ground ahead of them cracked open.A deep, guttural soun

His mind swam with exhaustion, yet the weight of the moment kept him grounded.Killian staggered to his feet, dusting himself off. His usual smirk was absent, replaced by something almost wary. “So… does this mean it’s over?”Vance shot him a look, sheathing his daggers. “You really think something like that goes down without consequences?”Noah flexed his fingers, staring at the mark on his wrist. The pain had subsided, but an odd sensation remained—like a tether stretching into the void.The hooded woman stepped closer, her gaze sharp. “You’ve done what no one else could. But this is only the beginning.”Noah frowned, his heart still racing. “What do you mean?”She hesitated for the first ti

    The path ahead was a winding, narrow trail, barely visible under the creeping darkness that seemed to grow thicker with each passing moment. The trees loomed over them like towering giants, their twisted limbs blocking out any semblance of light. The further they went, the more Noah felt as though the land itself was closing in on them, as though the very earth were conspiring to keep them in this oppressive shadow. Noah’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. The mark on his wrist had not stopped pulsing, and the more he tried to ignore it, the more it seemed to demand his attention. It wasn’t just the mark, though—it was the whole of this place. The air felt heavy with something ancient, something old and powerful. It was the weight of forgotten things, of lost memories that no one wanted to remember. He glanced over at Killian, who was still tense and alert, his eyes darting to every shadow, every flicker of movement in the periphery. Even Vance, who usually carried himself with a s

    The journey toward the Darklands was unlike anything Noah had ever experienced. The air grew colder with every step they took, a biting chill that gnawed at their bones. The landscape around them transformed slowly, as though the world itself was warping in response to their approach. The once lush forests gave way to barren, twisted trees, their gnarled branches clawing at the sky like skeletal fingers. The ground was cracked and dry, with jagged rocks jutting out of the earth at odd angles. As they ventured further, the silence of the land weighed heavily on them. The usual sounds of nature—the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds—were conspicuously absent. Only the occasional screech of a distant bird of prey broke the oppressive stillness, but it was always followed by an unsettling silence, as if the land itself were holding its breath. Noah’s thoughts drifted back to the conversation they had before they left. The hooded woman had been cryptic in her explanations, offeri

    The Abyss was no longer a mere force to be reckoned with; it had become an entity in its own right, its tendrils frenzied, its eyes burning with hatred and fear. Noah could feel it gathering itself, preparing for one final strike, but something had shifted within him. The mark on his wrist pulsed with energy, its rhythm in sync with his heartbeat. He wasn't the man who had walked into this battle mere hours ago—he had grown. And now, the Abyss would face him, not as a victim, but as a force of nature itself. The hooded woman stepped back, her eyes narrowed as she observed the shifting shadows. "This is it. You’ve awakened the power within you, Noah. Now, you must wield it." Noah's eyes never left the swirling mass in front of him. The Abyss was taking form, its colossal figure now a twisted mirror of his own fears and weaknesses. The creature’s roar reverberated through the air, as though mocking him, daring him to challenge it one last time. “I don’t have a choice,” Noah muttere

    The Abyss let out one final, ear-splitting shriek as its form twisted and unraveled. The darkness that had once loomed over them like an eternal nightmare shattered, dissipating into the void like smoke caught in the wind. The oppressive weight that had suffocated Noah and his companions lifted, leaving behind only silence. Noah staggered, his chest rising and falling with heavy breaths. The mark on his wrist no longer burned; instead, it pulsed with a steady, quiet glow. He had done it. They had done it. Killian wiped the sweat from his brow, his sword still clenched in his hand as if expecting the Abyss to reform. When it didn’t, he let out a short, disbelieving laugh. “It’s… it’s actually gone.” Vance, who had been bracing for another wave of darkness, slowly lowered his hands, his fire extinguishing. “I can’t believe it,” he muttered. “I thought for sure we’d be swallowed whole.” The hooded woman stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Noah. “You have severed the Abyss’s hold,”
