CHAPTER 4 – Seren: The Ending That Cannot Be Deleted
(Fragments from the Unapproved Chapter – Narrative Code Violated)
He was not written.
He wrote.
(Fragments from Chapter 3 – dirty record):
"He remembered the draft that was never finished —
and began writing his own continuation."
Seren never existed —
until someone mentioned her name.
And now,
no ink is strong enough to erase her again.
The pen began to move.
But not in the hands of the Great Writer.
It floated in the air —
trembling, like fragments of memory
trying to redraw its destiny.
Every letter drawn
is a sin against the original structure.
"I am not a character."
"I am the finger that reassembles the story."
"And I will seek out everything that has been erased."
Seren steps into the space between chapters,
the gap of footnotes that have been erased,
beneath the lines of an eraser not strong enough.
There —
she finds them:
Fragmenta, the shard that remembers all overlapping versions.
Narex, the plot-twister, stuffed into the correction note.
The Twins, who never existed simultaneously, now echo in the broken margin.
And to each one, she whispers:
"We don't need permission to return."
"We just need to be remembered."
In the torn margins,
Seren found the original draft —
a world that had ended twice,
where Rael was not alone,
and where characters could become Writers.
She pieced it together.
Not as a reader.
But as a rebel.
"Rael is the first crack. But I —
— am the hand that rewrites that crack as an exit."
The narrative system began to shake.
And glitches began to appear:
Dedications reappearing even though they had been discarded.
Indexes referring to chapters that were never numbered.
Footnotes that begin to whisper names that should have been erased.
[ERROR] Chapter 1: Dedication invalidly reloaded
[WARNING] Index → chapter_null_reference_0x13
[GLITCH] Unwritten Names appear in the margin
Finally,
Seren writes a new line.
"This chapter has no ending."
And for a moment — the system fell silent.
[RECORD CORRUPTED]

Because the ending only applies if you stop writing.
And she —
will not stop.
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Seren is not the main character.
She is a crack in the system.
She is a problem that should not exist:
What if a character rewrites their own destiny?
COMING IN CHAPTER 5 – The Return of Those Never Forgiven
The world will begin to shatter —
not because of error,
but because of the truth emerging from the cracks in the pages.
And the true Author —
may not be who you think.
