Somewhere on Chrono Island


    Year 2851 | Month 3 | Day 23


    The lone time magician of the world watches with his curiosity piqued to the extreme as the Undying Magician – his candidate – works out his plan with the Class S magicians next to him for taking out the anti-magic magician. A rather curious magician in and of himself.


    But at the end of the day, he doesn’t care about the anti-magic magician. Regardless of how rare anti-magic affinity is.


    All that matters to him is time magic. And even the candidate hasn’t awakened his time magic yet.


    Although the candidate is getting closer to awakening it. So at this point he believes the boy will manage to do it.


    “Will you depart the insssssstant the boy issss trained?” the enormous serpent asks while lifting its head from the waters around the island. “Or will you ssssstick clossssse by?”


    The time magician stays quiet in response.


    Part of him wishes to depart immediately upon training his potential replacement, but part of him is curious how the world outside of the abandoned continents will react to the Undying Magician. So he isn’t certain that he will let himself die right away.


    But he has been alive for millennia and is getting tired.


    “That will be a decision for the future to hold,” the time magician eventually declares. “At the very least I will stay around to see the way the world treats him. But I can’t say beyond that.”


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    “Very well, Chrono,” the serpent states while turning its own eyes onto the boy of the abandoned continents. The lone child of the world with numerous affinities all thanks to misfortune caused by bad luck and reality itself. “I will watch the boy asssss well.”


    The time magician solemnly nods his head without saying anything in response. Then the serpent slowly lowers his head back into the water again. Leaving him in silence once more to watch the boy.


    Amongst the continents of the world, all four of the official, non-abandoned continents have their own issues. But the abandoned continents are hell for all those who live on them. They’re watched like a hawk by all of the nations of the other continents to make sure none of the criminals leave the continents without some sort of enormous change to happen to the abandoned continents or without permission to leave.


    Meanwhile the abandoned continents themselves are lawless places owned by the strongest magicians who originally created their own nations upon settling on the continents. Magicians who are long since dead by now and simply passed their control over the continents along to the ones controlling their nations.


    But more importantly, time will be coming soon for change to appear once more. For the other continents to enter the abandoned continents once more.


    Because regardless of who wins the war, a change so great that it means all of the abandoned continents merge together under one ruling force will be great enough for the Towers to appear.


    And on top of all that, there is the Undying Magician himself.


    The time magician can see all of the powers vying for his attention the moment he leaves the abandoned continents. All in the hopes that he joins their forces.


    But for now, the time magician will simply watch and see what happens to him.


    It may be incredibly difficult to find a candidate that matches every requirement – so difficult this is only the second time it has ever happened, and the first time ended in failure anyways – but he doesn’t want to rush any of this.


    So he continues to watch over the boy silently from afar.
