Reborn to take over the stage 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 71 - 챕터 80

The floor split apart.A narrow staircase appeared beneath the facility, descending into darkness.Cold air rushed upward.Ethan stood at the edge, staring down.He had expected another laboratory.Another machine.Another room filled with screens and wires.But there was nothing mechanical about the place below.The walls were made of black stone.No cables.No lights.No computers.Only strange symbols carved into the walls.Rose moved beside him.I remember this place.Ethan looked at her.You have never been here.Rose shook her head.Not in this life.Her eyes filled with fear.But I remember dying here.Jason sighed.Again?Rose looked at him.This time is different.How?Because in the other memories, Ethan was alone.She looked at Ethan.This time, we're all here.Evan stepped forward.Then we go together.Richard immediately shook his head.No.Everyone turned toward him.Richard stared down the staircase.You don't understand what the First Room is.Then tell us.Richard hes

For several seconds, nobody moved.The underground facility was silent except for the faint hum of emergency power running through the walls. Dust still drifted from the ceiling after the destruction of the First Room, settling over the floor, the broken equipment, and the exhausted faces of everyone who had survived.Ethan stared at his phone.The screen had gone completely black except for two lines of white text.GENESIS HAS AWAKENED.SUBJECT ONE LOCATED.His fingers tightened around the device.Evan stood several feet away, his face drained of color.Jason noticed immediately.Evan?Evan did not answer.Rose stepped closer to him. What is it?Evan finally looked at her.I know that message.The room seemed to become colder.Richard straightened despite the pain in his body. You have seen it before?Evan shook his head slowly.Not the message itself. The words.His gaze remained fixed on Ethan’s phone.Genesis.He swallowed.That word was buried in my memories.Ethan felt something

Evan did not move.The light in his eyes was not the cold glow of the machines they had fought before. It was softer, almost silver, yet beneath it was something ancient enough to make Ethan's instincts scream.Ethan stepped toward his brother.Evan?Evan looked at him.For a moment, there was no recognition in his expression.Then his eyes changed.Ethan.The voice was Evan's.But another voice followed immediately after.And something else.Evan dropped to his knees.Jason rushed forward and caught him before his head struck the floor.He's burning.Richard knelt beside his son.Evan, look at me.Evan's hands shook violently.I can hear them.Who?Everyone.His eyes widened.Not just the people connected to Genesis.Everyone.Ethan felt his own consciousness respond.The voices suddenly became clearer.A woman crying somewhere in Lagos.A child laughing in Manchester.A man praying in Tokyo.Someone singing in New York.Millions of lives.Millions of minds.For one terrifying second

Ethan stared at the phone in his hand.MUM.The word seemed impossible.For years, every version of his mother he had encountered had been connected to the network, a clone, a memory, or a consciousness trapped somewhere between life and death.But this was different.The phone was ringing.Someone was calling him.Someone who knew his number.Someone who had chosen to reach him.Ethan's thumb hovered over the screen.Evan stood beside him.Answer it.Richard immediately grabbed Ethan's wrist.Wait.Ethan looked at his father.What if it's another trap?Richard's expression was filled with fear.Then don't answer alone.Ethan nodded.Jason moved closer.We're all here.Rose took Ethan's other hand.Whatever is on the other side, we face it together.The glowing boy stared at the phone.It's really her.Ethan looked at him.You can feel her?The boy nodded.She's outside the network.Ethan's heart pounded.Then how can she call me?The boy looked confused.I don't know.That frightened

Ethan opened his eyes.He was standing in a room he had never seen before.Or at least, he thought he had never seen it.The walls were dark, covered with thousands of thin lines that moved like veins. A soft blue light came from beneath the floor, illuminating a single chair in the center of the room.Ethan looked around.Mum?Nothing.Dad?Silence.Evan?No answer.He turned toward the door.There was no door.Only a blank wall.Ethan touched it.The wall rippled beneath his fingers.Then a child's laughter echoed behind him.He turned.A little boy stood in the middle of the room.Ethan recognized him immediately.Himself.The boy was about five years old.He was wearing the clothes from one of his earliest memories.Ethan stared at him.I remember you.The child smiled.No, you remember the memory of me.Ethan frowned.What's the difference?The boy walked closer.The memory can be changed.The person cannot.Ethan felt a chill.Who are you?The child pointed at Ethan's chest.You
