The sky was filled with Overseers.
Thousands of glowing figures hovered above the city like divine judges, their cold eyes locked onto one person.
Steni.
The pressure in the air was suffocating.
Every breath felt heavy.
The lead Overseer raised a hand slowly.
"Bug Sovereign… identified."
His voice echoed across the world.
"Existence… unacceptable."
Steni clenched her fists.
"So you're just going to delete me?"
The Overseer's answer came without hesitation.
"Yes."
The system alarms inside her head screamed.
[WARNING]
[MULTIPLE OVERSEER ATTACKS CHARGING]
The S-Class Administrator struggled to stand.
"Host Steni… you must run."
She looked at him.
"…run where?"
Adrian Vale chuckled beside her.
"Running won't help."
He shoved his hands into his pockets casually.
"Because the moment they decided to erase you…"
He looked up at the sky.
"…this entire world became expendable."
The Overseer's hand began glowing brighter.
A massive sphere of pure light formed above the city.
The system trembled.
[WORLD DELETION PROTOCOL ACTIVATED]
Steni's heart dropped.
"They're deleting the whole planet?!"
The Administrator nodded grimly.
"They do not tolerate anomalies."
Adrian sighed.
"So dramatic."
Then he suddenly snapped his fingers.
The sky flickered.
And something impossible happened.
System windows began appearing everywhere.
Not just in front of Steni.
But across the entire world.
Millions of people suddenly saw glowing messages appear in front of them.
Phones dropped.
Cars stopped.
Crowds froze in shock.
A global notification echoed across reality.
[GLOBAL SYSTEM ANNOUNCEMENT]
Faction Selection Now Available.
Option 1: System Authority
Serve the Overseers.
Option 2: Bug Rebellion
Follow the Bug Sovereign.
Leader: Steni
The world exploded into chaos.
"What is this?!"
"Why is my name glowing?!"
"Am I dreaming?!"
Across thousands of cities, people stared at the floating windows.
Steni looked at Adrian in shock.
"You did this?!"
He raised an eyebrow.
"Hey."
He pointed at her.
"You're the one who infected the system."
He grinned.
"I just… made it visible."
The Overseers were furious.
The lead Overseer roared.
"Unauthorized system manipulation detected!"
But the damage was already done.
Around the world—
People started choosing.
In Tokyo, a young hacker stared at the message.
"…Bug Rebellion sounds cooler."
[Choice Confirmed.]
In Brazil, a street fighter cracked his knuckles.
"Rebellion it is."
[Choice Confirmed.]
In Germany, a scientist adjusted her glasses.
"Fascinating."
[Choice Confirmed.]
One by one—
The system windows began lighting up.
[New Rebel Joined.]
[New Rebel Joined.]
[New Rebel Joined.]
Steni's system started going insane.
[Rebel Count: 1,204]
[Rebel Count: 5,773]
[Rebel Count: 18,992]
Her eyes widened.
"They're actually joining…"
Adrian smiled proudly.
"Humans hate being controlled."
The Overseers were shaking with rage.
The leader's voice thundered across the sky.
"Then we will erase every rebel."
He lifted both hands.
A gigantic spear of cosmic energy formed above the city.
The Administrator panicked.
"That attack will destroy half the continent!"
Steni's mind raced.
Her system flashed again.
[BUG SOVEREIGN ABILITY UNLOCKED]
Name: Glitch Command
Effect:
Temporarily override system rules.
Duration: 10 seconds
Cooldown: Unknown.
Adrian looked at her.
"Well?"
Steni swallowed.
"If I mess this up… we all die."
He smiled calmly.
"No pressure."
The Overseer roared.
"DELETE."
The spear began falling.
The sky shattered with light.
The city below screamed in panic.
Steni closed her eyes.
Then activated the new power.
"Glitch Command."
Reality froze.
Everything stopped.
The spear.
The Overseers.
Even time.
Only Steni could move.
The system whispered.
[10 seconds remaining.]
Her heart pounded.
"…okay… think…"
She looked up at the massive spear of destruction.
Then at the Overseers.
Then she grinned.
"Let's break the rules."
She raised her hand.
And rewrote the attack command.
Instead of targeting Earth…
She changed the coordinates.
Target: Overseers.
Time resumed.
The Overseers realized too late.
The spear suddenly reversed direction.
And shot straight back toward them.
The lead Overseer's eyes widened.
"…what?"
BOOOOOOM.
The sky exploded.
Three Overseers vanished instantly.
Deleted.
Across the world, millions of hosts saw the message appear.
[OVERSEER TERMINATED.]
Silence filled the air.
Even Adrian looked surprised.
"Well…"
He whistled.
"That escalated fast."
Steni stared at the burning sky.
Her voice trembled.
"I… just killed an Overseer."
The remaining Overseers slowly backed away.
For the first time in history—
They looked afraid.
And Steni realized something terrifying.
She wasn't just surviving the system anymore.
She was becoming something far worse.
Suddenly—
A new message appeared.
But this one made even Adrian freeze.
[SYSTEM CREATOR SIGNAL DETECTED.]
The Administrator whispered in horror.
"…that's impossible."
Steni frowned.
"What now?"
The sky slowly tore open.
And a voice older than the systems themselves spoke.
"Children…"
"Why are you fighting over my creation?"
Adrian's face went pale.
"…the Creator is alive." 🚨
