Timeless Regression

[Chronos System: Alert! Your countless regression has created an anomaly in the timeline!!!]

'An anomaly? I haven't heard of something like this before. Oh well, let's look for this anomaly. This is something entirely different from what I know. Tell me the details,'

[Chronos System: Due to the successor's repeated failure an anomaly has appeared at your present regression

Status: The only way for me to give you any further recommendations for your dilemma is for you to encounter the anomaly for yourself so that I can devise a solution

Chrono sensory: Although this ability only allows you to heighten your senses by speeding your brain's processing it has been upgraded to detect any dangers that originate from an anomaly through time]

Divine relic: Faulty Pocket watch - A watch that only moves backward, it can't tell time, one of the late God of Time's divine relics that holds the power of (????????)] 

"It's going to be hard to find some noteworthy elixirs to increase my stats. Return to zero makes me avoid any fatal injuries and even the most volatile of poison. But it also has a nasty drawback of returning my stats to its base format,"

After he claimed the pocket watch, a door leading to the 2nd tutorial appears, and upon opening, he tilts his head, evading the blade aimed for his neck; he counters by sending his right leg forward, kicking his oppressor aside. His cutlass fell to the ground, and just when he tried to get up, Zayn stomped on his chest with his left foot and grabbed the very blade that sent him to his very first regression. Once he reached the end of the corridor, he found a large group of candidates like him gouging on what seemed to be human meat, and with his unfamiliar face and blood-drenched clothes he hurled the head of the man who came to ambush him

"Sorry, I'm a little bit late to the party. I see you guys have already eaten; too bad I can't join you. My diet doesn't consist of humans; oh, don't worry, I made sure to bring a gift. I know he doesn't look delicious but hear me out-"

"Kill him!!!" The cannibals had their attention all pointing to Zayn, the moment he taunts them by presenting the head of their comrade just as he anticipated, he raised his cutlass and eyes shimmer in blue

[Chronos System: The ability [Fast forward] has been triggered!

Status: The successor's time has been momentarily sped up by thrice!

Outcome: 5 Divine Power has been spent to use the Lord of Time's power]

A streak of blue disperses throughout the whole room, and in its path lies blood and dismembered limbs of whatever blocks its way, a cutlass that wasn't properly sharpened along with medio core strength. It was a precise cut that could only have been made if the attacker had ample time to prepare, which the cannibals could never have imagined their opponent possess, and in a flash, only two were left. The invader and a singular member of the one-sided massacre that ensued all because of their greed in surviving the long wait in the dark and depressing corridor that refuses to unfold

[Chronos System: You've killed negatively aligned candidates!!!

Status: It's common knowledge that you can't gain exp from killing candidates unless they've been corrupted. The successor has earned 421 exp

Status: You've leveled up from 0 to 5!!! Due to the Unique ability [Return to zero] any stats granted through leveling are invalid. Because of that yout unique ability will raise their rank and each level gained is considered exp for your unique abilities. Although you can't raise your strenght through leveling you get to increase the rank of your unique abilities and their hard to raise

Outcome: The unique ability [Return to zero] has its rank raised from F to E. This skill allows the sucessor of Chronos to rewind from a point in time after being inflicted by a fatal strike. You gained (2) extra charges making your maximum of death-saving miracles totalling to a maximum of (3)]

"Show me where the treasure is. It's the only thing keeping you alive and make it quick. I'm not the type who likes to wait!"

The last remaining cannibal ran as fast as he could whilst his pants were drenched in piss and later gave him all the treasures his merry band of psychos had scraped up. He removed his bloody clothes and changed to a black overall consisting of a coat, a tie, dry pants, and a monocle. A set of gear that raises his stats and gives him a unique skill Analysis, allowing him to see the information of anything in his gaze

"I guess that's about it. Hey cannibal!"

"Yes!!?" He answers nervously as the cutlass that took the lives of his group draws closer to his neck

"This wouldn't be the last time we'll be meeting. Gather all your junk and commune with the other cannibal griefers. Bring all the finely butchered meet of your group and join them, I'll see you when the time comes," The fat hairy freak quickly gathered all the freshly butchered limbs and organs of his once cherished group and stuffed them into his inventory and ran to the opposite direction

'Those wasteless bunch who refuse to advance the tutorial became a part of the tutorial itself and became entitled as the Cannibal griefers who hunt down naive candidates to build their sense of danger. Although it's way too barbaric and horrid, it's quite effective considering the worst death anyone can get in this world is a betrayal by their group, so it helps those who survive these cannibals to be wary. The world changes each run but there are places where it doesn't affect a particular landscape the tutorial being one of them, the first cannibal I met back then was the one who killed me way back on the day I was abducted,'

The tutorial right up to the end was nothing but child's play for Zayn due to him reenacting this over and over till he finally devises a plan to maximize his ability and not a single breath wasted. The set of gear helped with his need for speed, stamina, and endurance, giving him more room to save his skills in dire situations and the skill Analysis to keep himself informed of every variable in his way. With his gear and knowledge, he easily made a trip that takes an average candidate 30 minutes tops to be cleared within a minute by utilizing his knowledge to find the secret passage

'With the pace I'm going, I'll reach the last tutorial in five minutes; I can be a little faster, but there's no reward for a fast clear. The only notewortht reward is the one who reaches the entrance of the final tutorial first but a genius can only get by with 20 minutes, but I know all the passages. I need to find the anomaly, it may prove to be catastrophic if left unchecked, that's why I'm making sure I'd encounter it before it becomes a pain in the ass later on,'

Zayn presses on the wall and activates yet another passage leading him to another corridor where he spots dozens of candidates. As he walks closer the screams, and bloody scenery became more apparent, this corridor was known for its particular name as the Harvest festival. Anyone who accidentally enters this humungous corridor can no longer escape unless they find a secret passage or lower the numberof denizens

[Chronos system: The ability [Chrono Sensory] has been been triggered!

Status: All of your senses has been heightened for the next 3 minutes and you can feel out Chrono anomalies and threats

Outcome: 3 Divine power has been spent to use the Lord of Time's power]

As this nostalgic sensation spread across his body he focuses on his senses granting it the same sharpness of an eagle. After doing so he triggered Analysis giving him the information of every candidate of this bloody corridor. His findings shocked him so, the faces he hoped to see were fresh and yet he sees a variety of complexion he once encountered

"This can't be..."

Zayn was too shaken to find the result of his countless failures as he knew the fates of those he'd meet in the tutorial. The heroes who'll one day save the world and those whom he hasn't seen in this place could only be their sworn opposition. But what frightened him the most was the fact that all the faces in the tutorial were the past notorious villains responsinble for the end of the world

[Chronos system: You've finally encountered the anomaly! Though you find no mystery it came to be true. Your actions had cause what could be known as catasteophic

Chrono anomaly aresent:

• Chrono Alignment: A person always has a predetermined path in a timeline they reside however too much regression may blur this alignment resulting in a switch of fate

Outcome: Due to an unknown variable we have yet to uncover the past villains of ypur previous regression are here and had their fates change]

"Well shi-"
