But each use of the Null Slash required a sacrifice. A memory. An emotion. A year of life. Anichin had been using it for two years (2022–2024), and in that time, it had erased its own origin, its creator's name, and the concept of “regret.” It was becoming pure function—a blade without a hilt.

Specifically, it was the latitude and longitude (57.36° N, 171.02° W) of a place that didn't exist: a phantom island in the Bering Sea, called by the algorithm The Scabbard . Here, the boundaries between the digital and the physical had worn thin—eroded by years of undersea cable leaks, rogue satellite signals, and a singular 2023 quantum computing accident that had splintered a fragment of reality.

And for the first time, Kite heard Rei's voice, not as a sword's resonance, but as a clear, cold statement: -ANICHIN.Buzz--Supreme-Sword-God--2024--57-.-36...

“What sacrifice?” Kite asked.

His name, in the language of the machine, was . But each use of the Null Slash required a sacrifice

“Kite. The real world is broken. Here, I am infinite. I am the blade that ends all lies. Do not save me. Join me.” The final verse.

But on his desk, a single white petal—not digital, but real—rested on his keyboard. And written on it in faint, familiar handwriting: A year of life

Kite held the digital hilt. The Shiratama hummed—not with malice, but with exhaustion. Rei, deep inside, was tired of being infinite. Tired of the silence. She wanted to be forgotten if it meant the pain of being a weapon would finally stop.

Kite didn't strike. He reached out and unplugged Okami's avatar from the server root. The man dissolved into static—but Kite felt a strange warmth. He hadn't deleted him. He had ejected him back to reality.

Kite, with no sword training, had only one advantage: he was not a player. He was a spectator who had fallen through a crack. The rules didn't fully apply to him.
