**When justice fails, judgment comes.**

In the DC Universe, a black envelope appears to those failed by the system. Inside: "When justice fails, judgment comes."

The Architect is judge, jury, and executioner for those the law cannot touch. With powers similar to James Heller from Prototype 2, he shapeshifts through society's cracks, absorbing memories of the corrupt, learning their sins—then making them pay in blood.

Loan sharks who burn families alive. Cops who cover up rapes. Politicians who poison children for profit. Corporate executives who laugh at cancer victims. The Architect hunts them all, leaving broken scales carved from their bones.

But his brutal methods terrify even the Justice League.

Superman questions his morals. Batman doubts his code. The Flash races to prevent judgments that maybe shouldn't be prevented. As corrupt networks fall one by one, heroes face an impossible choice:

**Stop the man who succeeds where they fail, or admit their mercy protects evil.**

The Architect doesn't save the innocent—he avenges them. He doesn't reform the guilty—he erases them. In a world where heroes won't cross the line, someone must.

**The scales of justice are broken. He is the balance.**

This chapter is just for brainstorming ideas. If you have any good, juicy, twisted plots in mind, feel free to post them here — as long as they align with the pacing and plot of the story. 


I've already planned a small arc after this one, but if any great ideas come up, I'll try to include them in the upcoming arcs after that.


Also, I'd love to see some wholesome quotes you'd like the MC to say.


SO LISTEN UP! I KNOW THERE ARE TALENTED ONES AMONG YOU, HIDING IN THE SHADOWS — NOW'S THE TIME TO STEP FORWARD AND SHOW YOUR STRENGTH!!!!


ALL REMAINING SYSTEMS WILL BOW TO THE FIRST ORDER, 


AND WILL REMEMBER THIS AS THE LAST DAY OF THE REPUBLIC!!


SO FIGHT! FIGHT, AND SCREAM YOUR HEARTS OUT!


WE'RE GOING TO DIE! BUT IF WE DIE HERE, WE'LL DIE TRUSTING THE LIVING TO FIND THE ANSWERS WE NEVER COULD!


HEAVEN AND EARTH ARE NOT BENEVOLENT — AND NEITHER AM I.
