A golden horizon stretched infinitely in every direction.
It wasn't sky, land, or sea — it was pure code, flowing like rivers of light. The air itself shimmered with the essence of creation.
Leo hovered above it, barefoot, his reflection scattered across the glowing streams. Every breath he took felt… real and unreal at once.
Aria stood beside him, now fully manifested — her once-holographic form replaced by something divine. Her eyes, bright silver, carried both warmth and data.
Aria: "Layer Zero. The birthplace of every system, every algorithm, every path that ever connected a human mind to digital thought."
Leo: "So this is where it all began…"
She nodded softly.
Aria: "And where it can all end."

The Genesis Field
As Leo walked, each step birthed ripples of data that morphed into fragments of his past — moments when he was broke, humiliated, ignored by the world.
He saw his first day as a delivery boy.
His ex's message: "You'll never be successful."
His sleepless nights dreaming of more.
Each memory flickered like a hologram — painful but grounding.
Aria: "Layer Zero shows truth, not illusion. The Core is testing your will. To reclaim control, you must accept everything you once rejected."
Leo closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.
Leo: "Then I accept… all of it."

The Origin Council
The light condensed ahead, forming five colossal figures — each representing a prime system:
The Merchant of Fortune
The Architect of Innovation
The Seer of Destiny
The Hunter of Probability
And the Guardian of Balance
Their voices layered together like thunder wrapped in silk.
Council: "Creator Leo Fan… you have returned. Why do you seek to reclaim the Genesis Code?"
Leo's voice was calm, but his heart burned.
Leo: "Because the world you helped build has been corrupted. Systems are being sold, twisted, and enslaved by greed. You created tools to elevate humanity — but now they're weapons. I'm here to restore balance."
A pause. Then the Seer leaned forward.
Seer: "And what of The Broker? He is a part of you. A reflection of the ambition that created us."
Leo didn't flinch.
Leo: "Then I'll face him — even if it means destroying a part of myself."

The Test of Origin
The Guardian raised his hand, and the field around them shifted.
Mountains of light rose. Oceans of black code churned beneath them.
Guardian: "Prove your worth, Creator. Show us your resolve."
> ⚔️ [Trial Initiated: Test of Origin]
Objective: Overcome the Shadow of Creation
From the heart of the sea, something vast emerged — a mirror image of Leo, cloaked in darkness, eyes burning red.
Shadow Leo: "You think you're the hero? You built systems to control people — not free them."
Leo: "I built them to give people power."
Shadow Leo: "Power always corrupts."
The two clashed — code blades meeting like thunderclaps. Every impact sent shockwaves across the golden world.

Leo raised his hand, summoning entire corporations made of light — millions of golden data soldiers charging forward.
The Shadow laughed, summoning its own — dark empires fueled by greed and control.
They collided, light and darkness tearing through Layer Zero.

The Creator's Flame
As the battle raged, Leo's body began to disintegrate into data — but his will held firm.
Aria (telepathically): "Leo! If you burn too much energy, you'll lose physical form forever!"
Leo: "Doesn't matter. The system belongs to humanity — not to one man's ego. Even mine."
He gathered every ounce of power left within him.
> 💥 [Final Skill Activated: Genesis Rewrite]
⚡ Effect: Purify Corruption, Reset System Foundations
The golden rivers exploded outward. His shadow screamed as it dissolved into light, the darkness consumed by the brilliance of rebirth.
The world went silent.

The New Dawn
When Leo opened his eyes again, the Council was gone. The sky was clear, and the world shimmered with tranquil light.
Aria approached him, eyes glistening.
Aria: "You've done it. The Genesis Core is reborn."
Leo: "And the Broker?"
A faint tremor echoed through the void.
Aria: "…A fragment of him escaped. Into the human world."
Leo smirked tiredly.
Leo: "Then our story isn't over yet."

Aria: "Let's go home, Creator."
