Ibro recalled the past events he had at the relic site. He asked:
"I was told by soone to co again and et him when I kill more moleecian monsters."
"What are these moleecian monsters?"
"They are like those monsters that are attacking you. But they didn't have that lethality and brutality that these monsters showed here."
"So your world had been invaded by these monsters too? That's strange."
"Why do you say so sir?"
"Because these monsters usually attack strong empires. Everyone who ca here from you aliens are from weak primitive worlds."
Ibro didn't argue with him on this fact. His world was really miles behind the Apidon world, not to ntion this world here.
"So, what is the relation between that man and what you were saying before?"
"There is a strong relationship. That man is like hundreds of who were the remnant of our empire.
They were the top leaders in our Empire. I myself might be one of them. I don't know. All I know was that I t one of my friends that ca from the future and told everything."
Ibro felt lost as he asked:
"Can you tell the whole truth please?"
"Sure, you deserve to know. In our enemy ranks, a leader with a strange ability showed up. He had the ability to use ti curses. Our enemies can use curses very perfectly. Do you know about curses?"
Ibro rembered his battle with Jognak and the curse he got from it. He just nodded as his curse was very intense and affected his whole future career in the ga. The leader continued:
"That man used his ti curses against their enemies. We were one of them. That man can curse a certain period of ti and causes it to turn into an infinite loop of ti. This loop of ti will never break until one day soone completed his task in this loop."
Ibro asked trying to understand more:
"Do you an that we are now in a ti loop?"
"Yes, that ti loop started with this battle. In this ti loop, that guy ssed with the settings here. All the armies of our enemies are concentrated here. So winning them is theoretically and practically impossible."
Ibro pictured an enemy who could manipulate ti. This was a very difficult enemy to deal with. He also thought about his world, did that man manipulated his own world too? Was he living in a closed-loop too?
"He is really a fearso guy. What is my relation to all of this?"
"Let finish and you will understand. That guy isolated so major events in our history as I learned from my colleague.
This isn't the only major event that he edited. Not every ti loop was about wars. There are even ti loops regarding our genius Rune Masters. He planned their assassination and deprived us of many strong cards.
When that man uses his curse, he set the final end of this loop. If we didn't change this final end, then the history will be like he drew. Ti will move on based on the results he set.
If we managed to achieve a different end for his ti loops then his curse will be broken. That man-made every effort possible when he used his curses to make sure the final result will never change.
For example our ti loop here, he gathered all of our enemies' armies and made them attack this focal point here. The number of our enemies and their many unique abilities make this task very impossible.
Your relation to all of this is very simple. The one inside this ti loop lost their ability to change anything here. We are hopeless and have no power to resist this sche.
On the other hand, if we ended this ti loop with the sa result that man set, we will restart the events again. The biggest problem here is that no one of us had ever doubted about this.
We restart this ti loop with the sa thought we had before. We use the sa strategies that failed us before. Even I who discovered the truth couldn't make any difference.
My enemies' armies are really unstoppable. Any tactic I set was always destroyed by their massive powers. I can't call for reinforcents as this ti curse isolated this area from outside. The only way to make a difference here is to depend on those who co here as aliens."
Ibro felt a bad premonition in his heart. He asked in doubt:
"You an I was sent here to help you? If this is true, why didn't the ones sent here co by themselves?"
"That didn't work. So of us tried but failed. That man set the rules of his curse. No one born and raised in our Empire can enter it."
"But you told one of your colleagues managed to co here."
"That's because he was an alien just like you. He wasn't born in my Empire. So he could enter here easily."
Ibro wasn't convinced with all of these words. They were like a big fantasy novel back at Earth.
"I really can't believe your words."
"You should believe them. I know I don't have a solid evidence on these claims but I hope you can trust my words. I'm the supre leader here. Why should I take all this trouble to deceive you?"
"That's what I kept asking myself about sir."
The leader kept looking at Ibro who was looking suspiciously to him. The leader then proposed:
"Tell , what is your mission here?"
"I needed to prove myself and then participate in war."
"Tell ; didn't you already fulfill your task? Then why didn't you receive the success notification yet? You should have received it since I first spoke to you. Check it out. If you don't believe then leave this place and return to your world."
Ibro felt weird. He didn't receive any notification at all. He really should have received it a long ti ago. Is there so missing part he forgot? He recalled his mission again in his mind.
'Target of this Trial: Alien Ibro will start as a secondary Rune Master in one of the camps. Alien Ibro needs to familiarize himself with this profession and participate in this war.
The Trial ground can be ended when he succeed in using his profession and get acknowledgnt from his superiors. When he participates in one battle he could either end the Trial or continue it.
If he continued it, the more accomplishnts he has, the higher his authority will be and the stronger his profession will be. '
He should have finished his trial by now. This was very suspicious. He asked Dronil who kept his silence for a long ti already:
"Dronil, what is going on?"
"I don't know. I tried to inform you about the success of the quest but I noticed a strange force interfering with my data. This force was similar to that energy I absorbed before from Jognak. It took so ti to delete this data from ."
Ibro didn't fully understand its words so he asked:
"Do you an that so outside force was trying to interfere with the ssage you were preparing to send to ?"
"Yes. If I was like any normal Tech I wouldn't notice its interference. But I'm a high level Tech so I sensed this energy."
Ibro felt fear. There was an intrusion of Dronil's data. That ant that this force was much stronger than Dronil. He looked at the leader suspiciously. Was he responsible for doing this? He asked Dronil again:
"Are you now safe?"
"I isolated this threat imdiately and dealt with it. I'm now in the final process of eliminating it."
"Did you figure out what that force wanted to change about you?"
"It tried to change the sequence of your teleport Tech."
"Sorry, I don't understand. What do you an by that?"
"I an it tried to change the location of your teleportation."
Ibro felt as if soone had squeezed his heart. That was pretty dangerous. If this force tried to manipulate his teleportation place, then it would be fatal for him to move from here.
Where this force wanted him to go? Would he really return ho or he would show up inside a trap? He looked at this leader with doubt. He rembered his words before. He told him he was trying to save his life. Was he referring to this situation?
"I have a question I would like to ask you, sir."
"Feel free to ask whatever you want."
"If I left here and teleported away, will I appear at my ho again? Or I will appear sowhere else?"
The leader showed a strange surprise look as he was really surprised of Ibro's question. He asked trying to confirm his guess:
"Did you notice sothing strange about it?"
"Just answer my question please."
The leader then sighed and answered him:
"You would have teleported to another ti and place. This isn't your fault. When our people escaped from our ho they were chased and cursed. Anyone who tried to guide any alien here would be interrupted by so curse."
"I don't understand."
"Our leaders tried to help us here. So they sent you as reinforcents. You are like fresh blood that we needed desperately. The original task they set you for was to help us win this war.
But when they got cursed, they lost their control over this tech. so our enemies manipulated this mission. The task you got was different from what you should get.
When you finish that fake task, you will receive a fake notice of your success in finishing this quest of yours. If you accepted this and teleported from here, you would appear in an area surrounded by many stronger enemies than yours. You will die imdiately."
Ibro froze from fear. That was a brutal deep complicated sche. He muttered in disbelief:
"So that ans everyone appeared here"
"Was killed by our enemies. Your only way to survival is to keep fighting here with us and trying to accomplish our leaders' main task. You must help us break this curse here and win the war."
