Dawn of the Next Day
The sun shone from behind the gray buildings of the Temporal Academy .
A new day.
A new lesson.
But for Kael… each hour felt like an open wound.
He woke to Aria's voice calling him from the other side of the door.
— Kael, it's time to get up. Something important awaits you today.
He sat up slowly.
The room was filled with things he didn't remember buying: toys, schoolbooks, even a blurry photo of a group smiling in front of a forest.
He stood in the center.
But he didn't recognize the others.
"Memory deleted: 'Original Team'"
"System: weak connection."
"Warning: Existential Fragmentation Level: 29%"
Kael closed his eyes.
He didn't want to forget again.
But he no longer had a choice.
Children Who Shouldn't Exist
When he arrived at school, everything seemed the same.
Same children.
Same laughter.
Even Vark remained in his corner, alone and silent.
But when Kael saw Mira, he knew something had changed.
She looked pale. Shaking. She stared at the ground as if seeing something horrifying.
— What's wrong with you? Kael asked, stepping closer.
Mira looked at him. Her eyes trembled.
— I had a vision last night, she whispered.
— A terrible one.
— About what?
She lowered her gaze.
— About you.
— About us.
— About the world as it was… before this.
— How so?
— We were dead, Mira said softly.
— All of us.
— And you… you didn't even have a face.
Kael shivered.
— Was it just a dream?
— I don't know, she admitted.
— But it wasn't normal.
— I saw cracks.
— I saw blood.
— I saw a blonde figure… screaming your name.
Kael swallowed hard.
— Aria?
— I don't know.
— I only remember she was crying.
— And saying you couldn't come back.
The Dimensional Void
In class, Professor Sable gave an unusual lesson:
— Today we'll talk about the Dimensional Void.
— It is our greatest enemy.
— It is not broken time… it is the emptiness between universes.
— What remains when Silence wins.
She projected images.
Bodies vanishing.
Cities erased.
People turned into shadows of themselves.
Kael watched in silence.
Something told him that this woman wasn't just teaching.
She was warning them.
— Why are you showing us this? Jenno asked, frightened.
— Because you must understand, Sable replied.
— If you don't see the end… you won't know how to avoid it.
Internal Moment – Mira's Vision
During class, Mira began having a temporal vision.
Without warning.
Without control.
She found herself in a classroom.
Everyone was there.
But not in this world.
This was one where they all died.
Where the temporal rift spread across the ceiling.
Where Kael stood alone, lost, with white eyes and the dagger in his hand.
She heard a voice.
Not the professor's.
Not Kael's.
But someone who shouldn't be there.
"You failed too."
"None of you will survive this time."
Mira collapsed to her knees.
She screamed.
She couldn't bear it.
The professor rushed to her.
Covered her eyes with a special blindfold.
Then whispered:
— You've seen too much.
— Your mind isn't ready.
Intense Dialogue – Conversation with Aria
When they returned home, Aria noticed something was wrong—not with Kael.
With Mira.
— What did you see? Aria asked, preparing tea.
Mira didn't answer at first.
She only stared at Kael, as if he were part of the problem.
Finally, she murmured:
— I saw the future.
— I saw how we ended.
— And how we lost you.
Aria tightened her grip on the cup.
— That can't be real.
— You're safe here.
— Then why do I feel like we're not?
Aria fell silent.
She knew Mira wasn't wrong.
🌫️ Discoveries – The System Awakens in Mira
Mira began to change.
She wasn't just smart anymore.
Now she saw things.
Things no one else could.
One night, walking back to the dormitory, Mira stopped Kael.
— Listen, she whispered.
He heard nothing.
— You're doing it again, she said.
— You see threads.
— You speak to something inside you.
— And you don't even realize it.
— Me?
— You were the one who started this, Mira insisted.
— And whether you know it or not… the system is still active in you.
Kael stepped back.
— What do you mean?
— I mean it doesn't matter how many times you reset.
— Time recognizes you.
— And it's going to kill you for it.
Deep Vision – The Crack in the Present
Mira suffered another vision. This time during temporal training class.
"Memory detected: 'Subterranean Shelter 07'"
"Alert: Possible mental collapse."
"Erase it?"
She fainted.
Taken to the infirmary.
But before losing consciousness, she whispered something to Kael.
— I'm not the one who should be seeing this.
— It's you.
Temporal Training – Kael and Arkan
Kael was assigned a time simulation with Arkan , the Class-A prodigy.
— Have you felt anything strange lately? Arkan asked.
— Not exactly, Kael replied.
— But Mira has.
— She says she's losing me… again.
— You're not crazy, Arkan said.
— I've been having visions too.
— But they're not of the future.
— They're of the past.
— Of a world that shouldn't exist.
Kael stared at him.
— Like ours?
Arkan didn't answer.
He only pointed to an invisible crack in the air.
Floating within it was an image of the previous reality.
A battlefield.
A shattered sky.
A burning world.
And in the center…
Kael.
With white eyes.
And the Reality Dagger in his hand.
Character Relationship – Mira and Lyra (Class C)
Mira was moved to a special room.
Not because she was sick.
But because she saw too much.
There, she met Lyra , a Class-C girl with time-freezing abilities.
She could stop time… but not herself.
— Do you also see things you shouldn't? Lyra asked.
— Only one.
— But I can't stop seeing it.
— What is it?
Mira took a deep breath.
— Kael.
— Destroying the world.
— With the Reality Dagger in his hand.
— And a voice calling his name.
— Whose voice was it?
— Mine, Mira answered.
— Wish it hadn't been.
Internal Moment – The Past That Wants to Return
Kael walked alone through the dormitory halls.
He found an old notebook, abandoned on a table.
He opened a page.
Childish handwriting.
Drawings of a blonde woman.
A word repeated over and over.
"Trust me."
"Trust me."
"Trust me."
The handwriting was his.
But he didn't remember writing it.
"Memory blocked: 'Final Promise to Aria'"
"Existential Fragmentation: 31%"
He shook his head.
Didn't understand why everything hurt so much.
🪦 Chapter End – Death in Miniature
That night, a night exercise was interrupted by a temporal rift.
Small. Invisible to everyone… except Kael and Mira.
The creature that emerged wasn't large.
It was small.
But it showed something terrible.
A version of each of them… already dead.
— This isn't real, Lira said, frightened.
— Not yet, Arkan replied.
Kael looked at Vark's body.
It was made of black dust.
As if he had been erased.
— How can we win against something that already killed us? Ryn asked.
— We can't, Mira answered.
— We can only delay it.
The creature looked at them.
Whispered a single word.
"Kael…"
"This time… you didn't survive."
And it vanished.
Mira's Final Vision
Mira woke up screaming.
Another vision consumed her.
This time, she saw something worse.
A future where Kael didn't exist.
Not even as a memory.
Where everyone had forgotten him.
Where the system broke… and the entire world went with it.
— It's him, Mira whispered, cold sweat on her skin.
— He's not the hero.
— He's the trigger.
Aria heard it.
She already knew.
But she couldn't do anything.
Only watch as everything began to fall apart… agai
