> "Where do broken dreams go?"
A gate creaked open without hinges.
A fog moved like forgotten dialogue.
And ahead, an endless land full of shadows whispered names no one remembered.
This was the Realm of the Forgotten.

🌑 What Is This Place?
It was where:
Characters deleted during editing were buried.
Side characters rewritten into silence wandered.
OP villains who were "nerfed for balance" screamed silently.
They had no endings.
No fans.
No memory.
Only one thing united them:
> Bitterness.
And now… they saw Hyung Fyi walking toward them — the one who had everything.

👻 The First One Spoke
A sword spirit who had once been the main character's best friend.
Then rewritten into a "background object."
> "Why do you come here, Sovereign?"
"To laugh at us?"
Hyung Fyi didn't speak.
He lowered his head.
> "I came to give you a final chance."

💀 Forgotten Characters React
Hundreds gathered.
The erased final boss of a cancelled manhua
A healer girl who was removed in Chapter 3 of a draft
A child protagonist who never got published
The cool rival who was replaced for being "too edgy"
They stared at him.
> "You think you're different?" one of them growled.
"You think you're safe?"
Another one whispered:
> "One day the author will delete you too…"

💥 Hyung Fyi's Answer
He smiled.
Then raised his hand.
And cast a spell that shook the graveyard:
> "Narrative Injection: Rewrite Permission."
Every forgotten soul in the realm began to glow.
Not with resurrection…
...but with one final rewrite.
> "I am not here to rule you," he said.
"I'm here to give you your voice back."

🌟 A Miracle
The abandoned characters gasped.
Their names returned.
Their powers returned.
Not to be reused.
But to be free.
> "I cannot bring you back to your stories," Hyung Fyi said.
"But I can give you your endings."
They wept.
Even the cruel ones.
Even the gods who had once ruled in golden pages.
And they knelt — not to a king…
But to the one who remembered them.

>

"User can now grant closure to forgotten characters from all realms."

✏️ Final Scene:
One forgotten warrior asked him:
> "What are you, really?"
Hyung Fyi looked into the fog and replied:
> "I'm the part of the story they couldn't erase."
