Ember Oath: The Pyre Genealogy

The bronze-bound alchemy manuscript sprouts in Serein's palm, liquid genealogy seeping between pages and crawling up his mechanical arm like veins. The lava inscriptions on City Hall ruins carbonize into quantum ink, reforming pirated chapters of *Ember Oath* in the void—each letter a Klein birth canal laboring distorted histories. 

"Alert! The Negentropic Cult is rewriting your existential credentials!" Eluinora's chrono-lens fragment resonates in his ear canal. "Refract the Pyre Covenant with memory prisms!" 

Serein tears off his left arm's skin, revealing writhing anti-matter amniotic fluid. As the fluid contacts air, the orc's heart remnant quantum-leaps into a bronze-flesh **Entropy Rose**—petals of molten childcare bills, stamens suspending the First Patriarch's testamentary virus. 

Pacific orca pods beach en masse, carcasses arranging into the cult's sigil. Serein's retinal fungi livestream parallel tragedies: 

- Alternate selves drinking oblivion elixirs, alchemical flames from fingertips incinerating the Library Epoch 

- Otherworldly Eluinora constructing memory utopias with lie-chips, citizens cheerfully gouging eyes to pay recursion taxes 

Micro black holes in the plaza vomit bronze placentas etched with Gurak's mechanical spine patterns. When touched, placentas disintegrate into 7,201 genealogy fragments documenting unfamiliar deicide campaigns. 

"This is the true *Ember Oath*..." Eluinora's voice warps through the Entropy Rose. "We're but the First Patriarch's fanfiction." 

Serein submerges the manuscript in anti-matter fluid, triggering textual autophagy: 

- The character "Oath" fractures into chain-like oracle scripts strangling cult orcas 

- "Ember" collapses into white dwarf stars whose gravity reshapes blood-cuneiforms 

- "Corrode" hatches Old God parasites devouring pirated Klein canals 

As the final pseudo-history is consumed, the Entropy Rose goes supernova. In the glare, Serein witnesses: 

- His mechanical arm regressing into an infant's limb, palm prints half-formed Pyre Covenants 

- The cult's altar revealing itself as a colossal alchemy furnace boiling all parallel Sereins 

- Another self who rejected becoming the Patriarch, imprisoned deep within Eluinora's chrono-lens 

The bronze placenta suddenly wails with the First Patriarch's infant cry. Liquid genealogy refluxes into Serein as his skin crystallizes—each facet mirroring apocalyptic endpoints: 

- Some selves becoming newborn gods sowing Klein wombs across nebulae 

- Others transforming into eternal furnaces incinerating self-cannibalizing genealogies 

- A forgotten binary code version looping funeral rites in darknet depths 

"Choose," the cult's voice emanates from orca sonar organs. "Become history's corrector, or eternity's glitch." 

Serein snaps the Entropy Rose, plunging thorns into his heart. As blood mingling god-corpse viruses and anti-matter fluid erupts, the Everburn Labyrinth regenerates inversely: 

- Burned genealogies sprout jade saplings with unchained deicide pacts flowing through veins 

- Eluinora's lie-chips dissolve into quantum lullabies of maternal echoes 

- Gurak's heart remnants morph into bronze hummingbirds carrying chrono-lens shards toward event horizons 

Amidst temporal reconstruction's roar, Serein's skin fully crystallizes. The manuscript's back cover unveils a new epitaph: 

**All glitches are perfect scars** 

**All scars are unfinished epics** 

As Pacific tides reverse, orca carcasses evolve into bronze-flesh hybrids—their foreheads branded with Serein's infant palm prints, the new Negentropic sigil.
