I forgot to tell the timeline before regression, sorry.
Timeline:After Sunny got [Mind weave],but before Modret achieved supremacy.
_________________________
Sunny was dazed for a few seconds, before coming back to reality. A dull ache was radiating through Sunny's bleeding feet as he was shivering from cold.
He looked around,and saw slaves were going up to a black cut mountain with shackles around their bodies, like him.With imperial soldiers guarding from side lines.
'I am really back in the past,huh?'
Sunny shook his head,and try to open up spell's runes.Shimmering runes appeared in the air in front of him.
'Ahh, I didn't realize how much I have missed you.Is this what people call Stockholm Syndrome?'
Sunny chuckle,and look back to his runes.
Name: Sunless.
True Name: —
Rank: Aspirant.
Soul Core: Dormant.
Memories: —
Echoes: —
Attributes: [Unseen from Fate], [Mark of Divinity], [Child of Shadows].
Aspect: [Temple Slave].
Aspect Description: [Slave is a useless wretch with no skills or abilities worth a mention. A temple slave is just the same, except much rarer.]
'Interesting,this is a new one.'This new Attribute replaced [Fated].Other than that nothing change.With that Sunny focus on runes,that describing [Unseen from Fate] Description.
[Unseen from Fate] "Attribute Description:You aren't bound to prophecies, destined encounters,or inevitable downfalls.Small changes you make don't ripple outward in destructive or noticed ways. You can tweak things without attracting attention from fate."
If not for the fact that other people is also here,he would have started laughing like a lunatic.
After few seconds, he pull himself back and start thinking about it.
'You aren't bound to prophecies, destined encounters,or inevitable downfalls, huh this means my future is not inevitable.I can, like, save Antarctica or stop Asterion without being noticed by fate!Plus seers also won't know,what I will do!'
But his face soon darkened.Because of excitement he didn't noticed it before.
'Small changes you make don't ripple outward in destructive or noticed ways'.Meaning small changes,like saving few more sleepers in Forgotten shore won't be a problem.But big changes like, not saving Modret, evacuating everyone from Antarctica's center and...Nephis coming back with everyone else,instead of staying back will be a problem.
'Damnation! Why does this always happen! Every damn time we find a way,but an obstacle always comes into our plans!'.
He put the thought in a corner of his mind,planning to talk this out with Nephis.Now he will focus on his nightmare.
_________________________
Everything went according to how it happened in original.
Mountain king attacked the camp,everyone died except Sunny,shifty,scholar and Auro of the nine.
Same as before,Sunny explained them why they shouldn't go down the mountain.Sunny kill the same soldier and receive [Silver Bell] again.
He looked at it and smile, a bittersweet smile.
Then sunny went back to group and give them their water flasks and started climbing up the mountain.But before that tho,Sunny had a idea to poison Auro more before discarding it.
Because if Auro had a suspicious on Sunny, he good as dead. Plus even if Auro is heavily poison,there is no chance Sunny is killing him with this body. Plus, what if mountain king finished him quickly because of it?
Then same thing again,first they rested in a cave for night, In morning shifty died.
Rest of them climb up the mountain,there scholar try convince Auro to leave Sunny here to die, and Auro killed him.
Then,two of them rest in a cave,where Auro try to kill him, but can't because of poison.
Then Auro asked the same questions,and Sunny repeated his previous answers.
Then same happened, Sunny run ouside with Auro chasing him. Sunny summoned the [Silver Bell] and shook it.
He turn around and started running as fast as possibly, without looking back.
Then he finally sees it again. A black temple.He came to the temple gate and went in.Guardian didn't stop him because of [Mark of Divinity].
Sunny thought about performing Shadow Dance, to please Shadow god. But quickly abandoned it.Because, even if Sunny has more endurance than last time, there noway he can perform Shadow Dance in this body.
He waited for few minutes, then sees Mountain king came to gate. He, who was already ready, cut his thumb with a sharp stone,and let blood drop into altar.
Spell voice resounded in the dark temple.
[You have offered yourself as a sacrifice to the gods.]
[The gods are dead, and can not hear you.]
[Your soul bears the mark of divinity.]
[You are a temple slave.]
[Shadow God stirs in his eternal slumber.]
[He sends a blessing from beyond the grave.]
[Child of Shadows, receive your blessing!]
Shadows crowding the great hall suddenly moved, as though coming alive. Tentacles of darkness surged forward, entangling Mountain King's arms and legs. The mighty tyrant struggled, trying to get free.
The next second, its body ruptured, torn apart into pieces.
And then the Spell whispered:
[You have slain an awakened tyrant, Mountain King.]
[Wake up, Sunless! Your nightmare is over....again.]
