Year 18, Age of Mark;
Earth 43, Plane of Ice and Fire;
At the shores of a beautiful frozen lake in the wilderness, six teenagers were seen sitting together and having a chat or more like arguing with each other.
"No, it is too risky, Steve. You never operated it before," said a girl with pointy ears. She was frowning in displeasure.
"C'mon, it's not like we are so mortals that we needed to worry about such risks. We can even breathe in space," replied Steve. He added, "And it's not fair that only the eldest brother is allowed. We are not weaker than him in any way."
"Then, why don't you tell it to Dad and convince him?" The elven girl argued.
"If uncle knew about it, you will be grounded this ti for sure and even your mom won't be able to save you," a male with pointy ears supported her. He was her twin.
Another human girl joined the argunt. Aged 16 but with large round spectacles and so book in her hand, she spoke, "And even with success, there are consequences to ti travel, Steve. Eldest brother understands that but you don't. You are reckless and bound to cause trouble, putting the history at risk of alteration."
Steve got frustrated. His feelings were clearly evident on his face which reddened. He couldn't help but shout at her, "I know the consequences of ti travel, alright? I don't need you, clever clogs, to teach what is right and wrong. Get lost, glasses."
"Hmpf, whatever." The girl with glasses didn't take his words much seriously and opened the book to continue her reading.
"Hey, that's not a way to treat your sister" "Steve, what are you doing? How dare you talk to her like that?" As the two elven twins started scolding Steve and the latter provoking them into a battle, the eldest of this group decided to end this pointless argunt by coming in support of Steve, changing the equations in an instant.
Nad Silver, the 17-year-old spoke, "Everyone, calm down for a second. Uncle Allen gave the spaceship to Steve as a birthday present. It is his right to use it however he wishes. And in the worst case, I'll request my mom to use the orb of chaos and cover up his ss. Of course, he will be facing consequences for that, but for now, we should give him an opportunity to prove himself that he is responsible too."
When Silver spoke of his opinion, the elves imdiately cald down and agreed with him. It was then the last remaining sibling, who didn't actively participate in the argunt and stayed neutral until now, responded, "I will go with Steve, just in case."
"And don't worry, I'll just go to a few years back and make sure that I won't et you, fellas," added Steve, looking quite a bit annoyed that people are not taking his opinion seriously. As the others agreed, Steve and Jas boarded a spaceship that looked more like a spider.
Once they got in and the doors were locked, Steve rushed toward the control system and started setting the ti period.
Walking toward him, the curious sibling asked, "Where are we going?"
Steve then let out a smile, "To the Empire of Ixitus, 19 years prior."
"Wait a second." Jas was stunned for a mont. "You can't be serious. Just now you told…"
Steve cut him off as he pulled up the levers and pressed the switch, "Sorry bro, but I lied. We are going to save Dad by altering his tiline."
"What? But, that might…" Before Jas speaks anything, the ti ship, otherwise known as the Chronos, launched toward space at the speed of light before eventually turning into specks of light and disappearing from the tiline.
After an unknown ti;
In the skies of Ixitus Empire, during the ti when chaos is occurring all over the world due to demonic possession, a portal opened and specks of light erged from it before turning back into a ti ship, only to crash on the ground and make a large crater instead of a soft landing.
"Ugh" "Ugh"
Groaning in pain, both of them got out of the ship. "Fu*k, you have really ssed up this ti, Steve," said Jas with a pale face. Seeing the dazed expression on his brother who was staring at a holographic screen, which could be seen by anyone but not the contents written on it, he asked, "Where are we stranded, anyways?"
Steve answered, "The location is correct but not the tiline. We have landed 194 days before Dad visits this world."
"Oh, boy," Jas shook his head.

Back to the Present;
At the tree house in Sylvandrial Dominion, Earth 486;
"And that is how we ended up here," said the 14-year-old Steve, explaining the whole disbelief.
Mark was the first to get out of his shock and spoke in English, "Let get this story while leaving up so important details.
A long silence filled the room as Mark and Zan Rong stared at the teenagers in disbelief.
Mark was the first to get out of his shock and spoke in English, "Let get this straight. I died and reincarnated as Lu Zhen, a prince of the Shang Dynasty in so fantasy world where people have superpowers from the comics. Both of you are my sons from the future and you ca here in the ti ship that I built to save from so sort of disaster. In the process, your ship has been wrecked and both of you are stranded here for the past few months. Now, you need to repair the ship too? Correct?"
Steve and Jas nodded in unison.
Mark beca silent for a couple of seconds and then roared suddenly, "Don't both of you brats realize how absurd you sound? Let talk to your superior. If he needs sothing from , I will cooperate. There's no need to make a ntal patient. And I demand the anti-dote for this strange drug you guys put in my body right now," He then turned his head and sternly looked at Zan Rong, who is also in shock, "And Mari, you haven't answered about Allen. I need to see or atleast talk with my brother if you could help ."
Zan Rong couldn't properly digest the fact that Lu Zhen was her brother-in-law or atleast in his past life. Suddenly, everything made sense to her. No wonder Lu Zhen knew about modern weapons. No wonder Lu Zhen knew English. And no wonder Lu Zhen is looking after her too. It was because he has the mories of his past life.
If she hears this a few years ago, it would sound too absurd, but after she experienced the world of elves and powers erupting from the ether energy, the concept of reincarnation doesn't sound ridiculous at all.
Little did she know that Mark didn't reincarnate, but transmigrated. However, whether Steve and Jas kept this secret or were unaware of the secret is sothing that stays as a mystery for now.
Back to Mark, as he was clearly refusing to believe their explanation, thinking that his senses were altered by so kind of drug that will make it seem like he was in a different body than his own, Jas could only let out a sigh and spoke, "Fine, suit yourself, dad. Consider yourself as our prisoner for now. Repair our ship and we will free you. Until then, the effects of the drug will stay inside you."
"Jas." Steve couldn't believe his brother would play along with their Dad instead of clearing the misunderstanding. As Jas gestured for him to trust him, Steve cald down himself by assuming that Mark will probably get to his senses once he experiences reality. He just needs to focus on protecting him. That will be enough.
"I knew it." Mark believed Jas' lie as it aligns with his theory. He added, "See, how easy it becos if you kids just be truthful. Anyway, I have a bit of experience in handling jet engine repairs. Take to the vehicle and let take a look at it first."
Mark was obviously thinking about escape in his mind, but before making a plan, he would have to know the layout of the place he was in. He doesn't want to make the sa mistake he did last ti by resisting their orders from the start. This ti, he decided to make them trust him.
It was at that mont the door at the front was knocked a couple of tis before it was opened and a voice of a female was heard.
"Anyone ho?"
