Omega Summoner-Novel

Adrian could see that the scenes inside the wormhole that Ascalor created flashed multiple events. The multiple events that Adrian saw are events that he has witnessed, and some are those he has no idea about. He could also feel that his body is getting ripped apart continuously but his core kept his body intact against the ripple in time.

Before Adrian realized it, a chain is suddenly tied to his waist, and it did not break at all. He tried taking it off him, but it was very sturdy. He could also feel the mana signature of the three from the chains which means this was made from their mana.

"I am starting to get scared if this is the chain that is used to make sure that I do not get lost in the River of Time." Adrian muttered as he free falls into the actual River of Time.

[You have entered the River of Time.]

After Adrian entered the end of the wormhole, he is greeted by an odd sight of numerous roads that do not have a detailed and organized orientation. Each road is different as it is twisted and morphed in a way that one cannot walk upon it.  It is clearly not something created by people as each road looked like a clear crystal.

Adrian spread out his wings and looked at this glass roads only to be shocked by the sudden appearance of images. The glass roads suddenly lit up in color as images of the past, present and future all happened at the same time. The chain that bound Adrian to the elders suddenly glowed as the voice of the three suddenly came out of it.

"It seems that you have successfully entered the River of Time. Congratulations!" Ascalor stated but Adrian wanted to hit him so bad.

"I thought that you will be killed before reaching the Convergent Time Stream. As expected of the youngest, you are a very tough cookie. Make sure to spare some time for sparring when you come back." Bronx stated in a positive tone but that only made Adrian horrified.

When Adrian was in the wormhole, he could feel all the cells and fibers of his body trying to get ripped apart. It was only his core that kept everything together which also made him unable to recover some of his Primordial Energy that was used to fortify his body. Still, Bronx thought that he would not survive the trip but still sent him despite that.

"It seems that he is still mad about me skipping some of the teaching classes that I was supposed to do." Adrian thought as he looked around.

"Make sure to not touch any of that glass roads, brat. Those things are called the Convergent Time Streams which are extremely fragile and would get destroyed if you make a mistake. It would also alert the Time Wraiths of your location because you messed with something you should not have." Pann stated.

"What are these Convergent Time Streams anyway?" Adrian asked.

"You could say that the River of Time is made using an infinite amount of those time streams. Destroying one time stream will not make much of a difference to the major River of Time that you will see when all those time stream converges but destroying a lot will make reality unstable.

The Time Wraiths not only guard the River of Time, but they are also the beings that could repair a damaged time stream. They cannot fix the River of Time should something major happen there but that rarely happens unless a God of Time will directly interfere." Pann stated.

"Also, Gods of Time are very careful because one mistake and all time could be erased. There are powerful ones back then that could do what they want without repercussions, but he was the first to die due to that." Ascalor added.

"How do I find Old Man Koronn then? I do not want to spend a lot of time here." Adrian stated.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Go to the River of Time. It should be where the time streams all converge. If Koronn is being held there, then that should be his location. Also, you may want to rethink your decisions about that place because it contains rich amounts of temporal energy. Absorbing some would make you temporal skills and abilities stronger." Ascalor stated.

"They are correct, master. The energy here is great for my upgrade. Do you wish for me to passively absorb the temporal energy?" The Cube of Paradox suddenly stated.

"That is fine, Paradox. Just make sure to absorb a steady amount at a time as it might also alert the Time Wraiths." Adrian commanded.

"Affirmative." The Cube of Paradox replied as it suddenly broke down into smaller bits of cubes and created a small vortex that absorbed the energy in the surroundings.

Adrian flew towards what looked like the area where all the time streams converge. The area looked like a pulsing rift of light that lured people in like moths to a flame. Adrian flew straight into this pulsing rift of light and discovered the River of Time on the other side which is a vast collection of time streams.

The River of Time actually looked like a calm river that contained the glass roads moving or flowing in one direction as if to say that time always moves and is never constant. A sensation of suddenly feeling small overcame Adrian as he is but a drop in the River of Time. One thing entered his mind when he saw the River of Time.

"Where the hell would I start looking here? Koronn could be at the other side of the River of Time. Might as well try freely flying now." Adrian stated as he flew without taking notice that the chains that connected him to the other side has become slightly pale.

The River of Time is just a vast collection of the time streams that he saw earlier. If the time streams can be twisted and turning in all sorts of directions, the River of Time is the opposite as it just flows in one direction. Adrian could not see the beginning and end of the River of Time as the door he went in is just a small pocket junction of the whole.

"Bra..t…You…far…be…ful." The voice of Ascalor could barely be heard from the chain as Adrian went further to the other side where the river starts. He could not even hear what is said as it was very faint and the static jumbled some of the words.

"If one wants to go to the River of Time then they would certainly go to the area of the past." Adrian thought.

Others will want to see the future but that is always uncertain as things change freely which is why that part of the River of Time emulated a raging river. The future could be changed by one small aspect of saving a life or waiting until an hour. It will change depending on the luck of a person, but the past has already been set in stone.

Adrian has already sensed that Koronn is a bit fixated in the past as if he was searching for something or someone. He did not peer too much on the why because Koronn will not answer even if he asked. The best thing that Adrian could do is piece the puzzle while getting little crumbs.

"What is he searching for anyway?" Adrian thought as he suddenly saw a Time Wraith pass by. He immediately wanted to turn invisible but found out that some of his skills are actually locked. The only unlocked skills were those of the temporal attribute.

The Time Wraith looked like a floating ghost garbed in golden robes with the inside being a pattern of gears. Adrian could feel that the robes that the Time Wraiths are wearing looked like the robe that Koronn has but he thought that might just be a coincidence.

The Time Wraith passed by in such a quick manner that Adrian could not even react, but he was not captured. He was just passed by as if he was invisible. Seeing that the Time Wraiths do not mind his business, Adrian went further to the source of the River of Time. He encountered a lot of Time Wraiths, but they did nothing to stop Adrian at all.

Seeing this interaction, Adrian got a bit bolder, but he has theories on why he was not attacked. His first theory is that he was not here to get punished nor started to touch anything. He is safe as long as he does not make a mistake and touch any of the Time Streams.

Adrian continued and started to feel that the link that connected him to the outside world has faded into a ghostlike chain. He fears the worse and the worse did happen because he got spooked by a Time Wraith suddenly emerging in front of him from the River of Time that he unknowingly flew away. The chain broke as the three could no longer maintain the energy to keep extending it.
