I Am the Darkness Who Hide Secretly

Jake, still in base form, faces off against 13 System Gods.

Each one attacks with meta abilities:

Rewriting his power scaling

Locking his level to 0

Sealing his background

Trying to remove his dialogue rights

Turning his story into a side character

But none of it works.

> Jake starts glowing.

> "You tried to trap me in a story...

But I'm not part of your book."

He uses a technique that doesn't come from Hain Yar or any system — it's his natural code, something unwritten.

He deletes their control panels.

He reverses the system itself.

In the final move of the chapter, Jake says:

> "I'll show you why I'm not in the system.

Because I AM the final version of the rewrite."

Chapter 19 ends with him standing in the air,

13 gods down, and one final threat waiting.
