"A mortal shouldn-"
Zero rolled his eyes.
He pointed his a finger at the eyeball.
"Temporal Edit"
'Temporal Edit'
Millions of years in reverse passed by in an instant for the entity.
After 100 million years were rewound.
Zero was impressed that this entity was unchanged.
"Wasn't 100 million years the limit for rank 8 in this multiverse?"
"I wonder what this thing is..."
"Let's up the amount!"
Zero began to rewind its existence by billions of years.
They lost their eldritch form and became a human.
Zero then said:
"Oh! So your origin is a human after all."
The entities hands were shaking, as they looked at them.
"This is Impossible! I am the eye of flesh. One of the foundational beings for this universe... what happened to me?"
Zero said:
"Not the brightest tool in the shed, huh? I reverted you back to a human."
"I was never a human though..."
"Nah, you definitely were. I only rewound you about 14 billion years."
"... Who are YOU!?"
"Me? I am Z-"
Zero thought about using his fake identity as 'Gabe'.
But he wasn't in this realm with his body currently.
The disguise wasn't materialized over his independent consciousness.
So that plan fell through.
"Me? I am Paradox!"
Right as Zero said that the realm began to shake.
The eye of flesh looked up at the sky in horror.
"You have no idea what you have done... I've held them back since the dawn of creation."
"Held what bac-?"
The realm collapsed.
Ejecting Zero's independent consciousness.
His body's eyes regained intelligence.
"I'm surprised he was able to get around my immunity..."
No time had passed in reality since his interaction with the eye of flesh.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.
Zero then saw the Wizard in front of him.
He was bleeding out of his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth.
He dropped to the ground dead.
Zero was a bit confused...
"Why did he die?"
[ECHO]: {Name: "Ressurect", Level: 5, Type: Target, Element: Mana, Cost: 5000, Desc: "Bring target back to life."}
The blood went back into his body.
He was revived.
He began screaming.
"They're coming! The world is doomed!"
He then fell to the ground and died.
Zero was annoyed at the vagueness.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Soul Tracker", Level: 1, Type: Target, Element: Mana, Cost: 100, Desc: "Trace back targets soul."}
So he grabbed his soul as it was fleeing its body.
He then searched through it.
"I see... this wasn't a wizard. It was a Warlock!"
"He had a pact with the eye."
"I destroyed that entity on accident. Collapsing his connection."
"It would seem I done goofed..."
"Every warlock with the pact probably just died. This wasn't a normal existence..."
"If only there was a way to undo such an action..."
"Oh wait..."
'Reload 1'
"I should avoid searching the souls of 'wizards' or 'warlocks'. I might end up drawing the eyes of those foundational existences."
Zero appeared right before playing the 2nd game.
The eye of flesh had no idea it had died.
The hidden horrors were still trapped by the pact or whatever that thing was talking about.
Zero cancelled the game.
"Yea... you guys are scammers... I'll keep my 5k gold."
Zero left the casino...
And turned into an alleyway.
He planned to use the cover to open up a portal back to the initial village he had found.
Zero was followed by some knights.
"You think you can just walk away? Nobody profits from scammers delight!"
Zero had a look of 'horror' on his face.
He was getting a kick out of pretending to be Gabe.
"What... no... I payed my debt! You can't do this... the owner of the town will have your heads!"
"Who said you would get a chance to walk away this time. We have permission to kill. Hand over your gold and we will leave you with an intact corpse."
"You can't-"
One of the knights drew his sword.
"We won't ask again."
Zero then started laughing.
He laughed so hard that a tear fell from his eye.
He used a finger to wipe away the tear.
In an instant... Zero's cowardly demeanor vanished.
"You guys are perfect! I'll let you walk away this time. Get out of my sight."
This time the knights began to laugh.
"Who do you think you are? We know everything about you. You aren't special. You think you're some kind of-"
Zero vanished from their view.
"Where did he go!?"
Zero reappeared in front of the knight that was taunting him.
Zero flicked his finger on his head.
The mans head exploded.
He dropped down to his knees.
The others yelled:
"Attack!"
[ECHO]: {Name: "Infinity", Level: 1, Type: Shield, Element: Mana, Cost: 0, Desc: "Form a shield of infinity around the user."}
A knight slashed his sword at Zero.
But it broke on his infinity.
Another knight tried stabbing him in the eyes.
But Zero grabbed the sword with two of his fingers.
The man tried to pull his sword back.
But it was as if it was stuck.
"He's a monster! What are YOU!?"
[ECHO]: Analyzing book
[ECHO]: "Time Walker"
[ECHO]: 3: Chapter 8: What are YOU!?
Zero pointed his finger to the sky.
"I am eternal."
"I am unstoppable."
"I am the mighty... Gabe!"
Zero pinched his fingers and the mans sword also broke.
At this point the knights dispersed and began to run away.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Grasp Heart", Level: 5, Type: Target, Element: Mana, Cost: 10000, Desc: "Summons targets heart into your hand."}
The heart of one of them appeared in Zero's hand.
He crushed it.
"Gross."
There were two more knights left.
Zero just used Instant death on them.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Instant Death", Level: 4, Type: Target, Element: Darkness, Cost: 1800, Desc: "Apply instant death to target"}
After making sure there was no witnesses.
He opened up a portal back to the village.
[ECHO]: {Name: "Gateway", Level: 5, Type: Area, Element: Mana, Cost: 2500, Desc: "Open up a portal to a location."}
The portal opened up in Gabe's house.
Gabe was on the floor sleeping.
Zero kicked him, waking him up.
"...what?"
"...You imposter!"
Zero dispelled his disguise.
Then threw a sack containing 3 platinum coins and some gold at Gabe.
He kept the rest on him.
"What is this?"
Gabe dumped the sack.
"This! Where did you get this?"
"I gambled. Using your identity. I payed off your debts. You don't need to worry about them threatening your village now."
"Why did you help me?"
"We both benefited. You are free now, and I gained a chapter."
"Chapter?"
"Don't worry about it."
