Chapter 13: Chapter 13:“The Ones Who Hunt Darkness… Even When It’s Sleeping”
We do not fear monsters.
We fear what sleeps inside the monster."
— Statement from the Dark System Hunters
Somewhere beyond the visible stars…
A council stood around a broken, red orb. Inside it played a hologram — showing Jake Lagon's last battle.
The flick.
The erasure.
The 0.0000000000001%.
They were silent. Until one spoke.
> "He used Hain Yar."
Another voice added— colder, more mechanical.
> "And only a sliver. That's unacceptable."
> "He's not in control of it… yet," a taller figure said, cloaked in layered void armor. "But once he awakens even 1%…"
They all looked to their leader.

⚫ Who Are They?
They are the Dark System Hunters —
An ancient organization that doesn't serve gods, systems, or time. They exist to hunt beings like Jake before they become unstoppable.
They don't kill monsters.
> They kill the ones who rewrite reality by breathing.
---
They declare:
> "Activate Protocol Blackout.
Jake Lagon has been classified: Ω Threat — Pre-End State."
> "Send the above-assassins.
The Death Core Level."

The Above-Assassins (Tier Higher than the Assassin Jake Erased)
Elior Vantheis – "The One Who Evolved Beyond Systems"
Yxtren Hal'Morr – "Frozen Memory of Forgotten Death"
Kellvorn Rive – "The Hunter Whose Prey Are Concepts"
Zeya Ilone – "The Mirror of Anti-Fate" (She reflects destinies)
Each one stronger than the assassin before.
Each one marked for one goal only:
> "Make Jake Lagon bleed again. Or make him vanish."

Scene Ends With:
Jake, unaware, walking away from the destroyed rooftop.
But something… watches him from above.
A whisper rides the wind—
> "You should have stayed hidden, Darkness…"
