Aventine Tidea was born with a gift. 

It was the gift of [Absolute Awareness], the ability to sense anything and everything with unimaginable detail.

However, Earth seemed to lack the power to fuel his gift. He could only activate [Absolute Awareness] for half a second and with a cooldown period of one year. Nevertheless, Aventine did not find this odd. Instead, he followed his instincts.

The [Gate].

Something he had sensed when he was a child. A one-way portal to another world.

The moment Lillie met with Clementine and Taylor, a mild haze of <Fate> began to linger around me. It wasn't as decisive as a thread that could tie me down, but I had never been surrounded by <Fate> before.


Anything bound by <Fate> would be greatly distorted—and even torn—the moment I was around.


"It seems like this world has acknowledged my current and continuing existence. Are its <Laws> slowly adapting to my presence? Or have those slaves of <Fate> succeeded in scheming against me?"


My mana had been drained completely and utterly—along with the <Wyrm With No Name>. Despite such an expenditure…


This time, the answers were completely beyond my reach, barred by a thick layer of ever-moving threads. All those secrets hidden in plain sight by thick ethereal cocoons were impossible to isolate and trace as I was now.


Still, even my inability to attain the answers I wanted gave me something to work with.
