Daniel’s injuries healed in front of the doctor’s eyes.
"See, I’m okay."
Daniel stepped out of the medical tent.
He left behind surprised gazes on others’ faces.
After leaving the city, Daniel forwent everything that wasn’t needed to keep himself alive.
He only ate and slept the bare minimum.
All of his time and focus went towards monster hunting.
His fame in the city increased as he hunted more, stronger monsters.
Rumors spread of a lone hunter like wildfire.
As much as he wanted to rush out and save Selene, he understood he had to grow stronger first.
He couldn’t defeat Typhaon alone either.
He needed more Awakeners to support him.
’I need to join an organization, and get their support.’
Time passed.
Daniel became known as the ’Anomaly Hunter’ after having successfully taken down three anomalies.
He was approached by Titans and the Awakener Association.
Before he could make a choice, a voice echoed in his head.
’Daniel!’
It was Selene’s voice.
Familiar, broken, trembling.
’Help… Help me, please! I’m alone here. It hurts.’
Daniel nearly lost control of his emotions.
He would’ve left for the Savage Expanse that very moment if not for the System’s cold voice dousing water over his head.
[Intrusion of highly dangerous entity detected!]
[Alert! Alert!]
[Deploying System defenses! Blocking all foreign mental interferences!]
"Why did you do that?! It was my sister—"
[Host, it was not your sister.]
[The voice might be hers, but do you really think Typhaon, the Father of Anomalies, will let her talk to you?]
[It was Typhaon who spoke to you.]
Neo’s voice remained calm and emotionless.
He explained what Typhaon had planned.
Typhaon wanted to start a war between Awakeners, using the energy from their clash to awaken himself fully.
"If you know all this, then what is happening to my sister?" Daniel questioned.
Neo didn’t answer.
"Tell me…"
Neo remained silent.
"Tell me!" Daniel roared.
A notification glowed before him:
[The reward for the emergency main quest is World Time Spell.]
In other worlds, his sister was dead.
The knowledge pressed on his chest like an unbearable weight.
The only way to save her was to go back in time.
That’s what the System was telling him. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Daniel ignored System’s warning.
He would save his sister.
He joined the Titans, explaining his plan to save his sister, a Child of Mana, but he had withheld the truth: Typhaon’s awakening.
He feared the Titans would refuse to help if they knew the full extent of the danger.
’I would rather let the world be destroyed if I can save my sister.’
It was borderline madness, yet he clung to that resolve.
Neo had severed Typhaon’s mental link with Daniel.
Without it, Typhaon couldn’t force a status screen to appear for Daniel to prove his sister, a Child of Mana, had been kidnapped and was pleading for salvation.
In Neo’s timeline, Daniel had shown Ares his status screen.
However, nothing similar had occurred in this turn.
