Banished to the Abyss After Defying the Author-Chapter 11: Fracture Point

Chapter 11: Fracture Point

Noah moved without direction for a while.

Not because he was lost but he could still feel her even she is no more alive due to mortatis. That familiar resonance, faint but unmistakable, tugged at him through layers of reality.

Victoria.

Two days.

Perhaps three.

That was all it had taken for his existence to spiral into something unrecognizable.

He crossed into another kingdom at dusk.

From above, it looked no different from the last—walls, towers, streets laid out with the same desperate symmetry mortals favored when trying to impose order on chaos.

But when he descended, the differences revealed themselves.

Darker skin. Rougher hands. Eyes that learned early not to linger.

Noah walked among them, unseen in any meaningful sense.

They divide themselves, he thought distantly. Then beg gods to fix what they broke.

Hypocrisy wore many faces. None of them surprised him anymore.

The pull sharpened.

He turned down a narrow street—and saw her.

A woman stood there, thin, hunched, her clothes hanging like apologies. One side of her face sagged with old damage. Her left hand ended in stubs where fingers should have been.

Yet the resonance screamed.

Noah’s breath caught.

He crossed the distance in a step and seized her wrist.

"Victoria?"The word slipped out before he could stop it.

She turned.

Her eyes were wrong.

Fear flooded them instantly raw, animal, unfiltered.

Noah released her as if burned.

She stumbled back, raising her damaged hand defensively. "P-please, Lord," she cried. "I didn’t steal—I swear—I just need food—"

Noah stepped away, shaken.

Impossible.

The resonance was hers. But the woman was not.

His jaw tightened.

Why—

Anger stirred. Sharp. Sudden. Out of proportion.

He noticed it—and that made it worse.

"Why," he murmured, more to himself than her, "does it keep coming back?"

The woman trembled, mistaking his tone for judgment.

Noah inhaled slowly.

Then he reached inward—toward something he had sworn never to use again.

A golden portal unfolded behind him, heavy and reluctant. From it emerged a black box wrapped in layered seals, chains etched with warnings no mortal tongue could read.

His fingers hesitated.

"...I really didn’t want to do this."

He raised his hand.

"Eyes of Wisdom."

Pain exploded.

Not sharp. Not sudden.

Molten.

It poured into his eyes like liquid fire, forcing sensation into places that had long forgotten it. His vision fractured split into layers, timelines, echoes.

Blood streamed down his face.

Noah did not scream.

He looked at the woman.

And saw everything.

Her birth.Her hunger.Her suffering.Her death—hundred times over and over.

Lives stacked atop lives, stitched by reincarnation, braided through cause and consequence.

And beneath it all—

A thread.

No.

Ten.

His breath hitched.

The pain intensified as he pushed deeper, tearing through temporal boundaries that resisted him violently in this body.

The world peeled back.

He saw it then.

A past that should not have existed.

Victoria—dragged screaming through the beginning of Sofail World, her body get destroyed and soul split mid-transit. Dragonforce stood smiling as fragments scattered across realities like broken glass.

One shard landed here.

In this woman.

Another—

Dragonforce turned.

Looked directly at Noah.

Across time.

"Oh?" he said pleasantly. "You finally opened your eyes."

Noah’s vision swam.

"You planned this," Noah rasped.

Dragonforce tilted his head. "I paced it. You reacted beautifully."

Rage surged—and tangled with something worse.

Confusion.

"You accelerated the events," Noah said. "Compressed them. Forced emotional overlap."

Dragonforce smiled wider. "Your first taste of urgency. Isn’t it wonderful?"

Noah clenched his fists. "You wanted me unstable."

"I wanted you human."

The word hit harder than any weapon.

"You thought I’d lose control," Noah said. "Burn the Sofail World. Give you excuses."

Dragonforce laughed softly. "I still might."

Noah closed the Eyes of Wisdom.

The pain vanished—but the damage remained.

He swayed slightly.

The woman stared at him, terrified.

He focused on her again—Vanesa, she had said—and gently pushed a fragment of warmth into her life-thread. Enough for food. Shelter. Time.

"Go," he said quietly.

She fled without looking back.

Noah stood alone.

His anger faded—not into calm, but into something colder.

Resolve.

"So that’s your game," he murmured to the empty air. "You break what I touch. You turn connection into leverage."

No laughter answered.

No smug reply.

Dragonforce had already moved on.

Noah looked up at the sky.

"Then I stop reacting."

He turned away from the street.

"I move first."

Noah lifted his gaze to the sky.

For a moment, he did nothing.

A pressure—not hostile, not hidden. Familiar.

Nostradus.

Noah’s lips curved, slow and deliberate.

"So," he murmured, "you’re rushing the script now, dragonforce."

He raised one hand.

Darkness didn’t fall—it expanded. A wave of black authority surged outward from Noah,

swallowing the kingdom in a single breath. Streets, towers, people—none were destroyed.

They were removed.

Reality lurched.

The sky tore itself apart and reassembled into something wrong.

Stars vanished.

In their place, fragments of crystal floated across the heavens—shattered slivers of frozen moments, each one reflecting a different when.

Time fractures, harvested from the Sofail World1, drifting like broken glass in an endless night.

The ground beneath Noah’s feet hardened, its texture changing, its rules rewriting themselves mid-existence.

The kingdom had been displaced.

Not hidden.

Not sealed.

Relocated.

Now it sat fully outside the Sofail World(Ninth world).

Noah exhaled, satisfied.

"Let’s see how well you reject coordinates," he said quietly. "You keep saving yourself—so try finding this place again."

He felt the disturbance almost immediately.

A sharp arrival.

Nostradus.

The air twisted as the authority of Rejection manifested somewhere beyond the fractured sky, searching, denying, recalculating.

And then—

Another presence.

Time folded gently, like silk drawn aside.

Zelforna stepped into the Sofail World, silver wings flaring instinctively as she took in the shattered firmament. Her expression froze when she sensed him.

Noah smiled.

Not cruel.

Not amused.

Strategic.

"...Perfect," he whispered. "Let the lovers argue."

He turned away, already moving, already planning.

For once, the script wasn’t chasing him.

It was scrambling to catch up.

And Noah intended to stay three steps ahead.
