Chapter 16:
Miko and the end of the world
There was no world anymore.
No buildings. No sky. No gravity. No rules.
Just fragments.
Like pages from a burned book, drifting through nothing.
And in one of those pages—
A single classroom.
Broken.
Floating.
Still.
Inside it sat Sena.
She didn’t know how she had survived. Maybe she hadn’t.
Maybe this wasn’t survival—just a memory refusing to vanish.
Across from her was Kawasai, bruised and silent, holding tightly to the scrap of Kana’s original notebook.
And between them, floating midair, was a small glowing spiral.
Faint. Flickering. But still spinning.
“ He's not gone, ” Kawasai whispered.
“ No, ” Sena said. “ He is the world now. ”
In the SpiralMiko didn’t speak anymore.
There were no people to hear him.
But the voices in his mind had multiplied.
Every belief. Every fear. Every soul he’d touched — echoed endlessly.
He had become the god he imagined.
And it was empty.
Because now he had no one left to manipulate, no one to control, no one to believe.
He drifted, silently, through his own illusion.
And somewhere, deep inside the endless dark—
A familiar voice.
Kana’s.
“ You didn’t destroy the world, Miko. ”
“ You made a mirror. ”
“ And now you can’t look away. ”
Fragment of HopeIn that shattered classroom drifting in void, Kawasai knelt beside the spiral.
He opened Kana’s original notebook.
The real one.
The one before Miko rewrote it.
There, on the last page, scrawled in her handwriting:
“ If belief can destroy a world— ”
“ Then maybe memory can rebuild one. ”
Sena touched the spiral.
It pulsed.
Slowly.
Light returned.
Not much.
Just a shimmer.
A breath.
But in the vast quiet of annihilation, even that was a rebellion.
There was no sound anymore.
No sky. No structure. No resistance.
The world had dissolved—folded into itself under Miko’s will, reshaped by his mind, belief, and madness.
Where once stood a school, now drifted only fragments of memory.
And in the center of it all—
Miko.
Alone. Eternal. Complete.
He sat on a throne of absence—
built from vanished dreams, twisted faith, and the hollowed-out truths of everyone who had once followed him.
His eyes no longer blinked.
They burned—quietly, endlessly—with a power no longer bound by logic, morality, or the human soul.
Below him, spiraling ever outward, lay the void-echo of the world.
Still crumbling.
Still listening.
Still obeying.
Voice in the DarkA faint whisper—maybe from Kana. Maybe just a memory.
“ You were never meant to save anyone, were you? ”
Miko’s lips moved only slightly.
“ No. ”
“ I was meant to be believed. ”
The Spiral ExpandsFar away, Sena and Kawasai watched the black sun rise over a world that should not exist.
They saw shapes forming in the sky—script, sigils, thoughts that weren’t theirs.
They knew it now.
There was no escape.
Only this new faith, this dream-wrapped hell, born from one boy’s mind.
Last LineAnd from above it all, Miko looked down upon creation.
His creation.
The god of silence.
Of false light.
Of belief unchained from truth.
And he spoke, one last time:
“ Let there be no more doubt. ”
And the world obeyed.
The end.
