"Before laws, before sins, before systems—there was a decision."
Location: The Cradle of Code
Jiwoon stood at the threshold of a void not made of matter, but of choice.
The air shimmered like fractured principles. Every step he took echoed like unfinished arguments.
A symbol burned above: the first glyph ever forged—
The Prime Sigil of Judgment.

Whispers of Creation
As Jiwoon walked forward, voices from the beginning of the Sin System whispered all around:
"Let us divide error from action."
"Let intention be weighed."
"Let no one bear burden alone."
He touched the wall—
and the world bled open.
Flashback: The First Judgment
He saw a world torn by chaos.
No system. No rules. Only emotions raw and unfiltered—causing wars, betrayal, and destruction.
And then… seven beings gathered.
Not gods. Not devils.
Thinkers.
They called themselves the Root Tribunal.
They didn't create the system to punish.
They created it to protect people from themselves.
But Something Went Wrong
One of the seven—the youngest—spoke against total order.
"When we erase pain, we erase learning."
"When we sterilize justice, we suffocate growth."
She was ignored.
So she walked away—
And in her wake, the system grew… colder.
Jiwoon: "She must've been the first Reconciler… Ahra wasn't the only one."
Awakening the Truth
Jiwoon touched the Prime Sigil.
And suddenly—he remembered everything.
Not just his path.
But his part in it.

[Trait Unlocked: Echo of the First Decision]
He wasn't just chosen.
He was reborn into a role long forgotten.
The one meant to restore balance if the system ever failed.
End Scene
As the Cradle collapsed into starlight behind him, Jiwoon stepped forward with new clarity.
Not as a hacker of systems.
Not as a rebel.
But as a successor to the deepest responsibility of all:
"To judge not for control…
but so the world may feel safe enough to choose again."
