Time: When Adam saved the Mirag City.
.
.
"What do you mean, he survived by a miracle? Didn't I specifically ask you to put your fate weaver in a situation that was inescapable?" The Enchantress shouted angrily as she looked at the Forger, who was rather surprised by the whole event.
"But darling. I specifically put him in such a situation. Even if he does, he can never live for long enough. I don't know how… Please don't be angry. I would surely do something about it!" The Forger, like a love struck fool, tried to reason with the Enchantress.
"I even had to give him my blessing. I hoped I could take some of his essence using the quest once he died… just why do I have to waste my power over such a weakling?" The Enchantress fumed as she looked at Adam talking with the goddesses.
"I guess. I will handle things on my own," she then narrowed her eyes as she used a bit of her powers to bring the [Ghost World] where Adam was, and using some of fate powers she would trap him in there.
"If he somehow survives this, then I will remove his restrictions as I should. Else I hope he really dies to save me from all this stupidity," the Enchantress didn't like how things turned out.
It was as if fate itself was trying to protect Adam.
If he still survives somehow, then perhaps fate weavers aren't allowed to die at all, no matter how weak they are. And at that point, there is nothing she could do.
Even the Primordials can't mess with the destiny that they have created. The rules they have formed. Or else there won't be any order to the world for them to live in.
"Let's try once more. And if fate protects him again, then I will leave him be," the Enchantress came to this conclusion on her own.
According to her, a weak human could never survive all those hardships unless fate itself wants him to survive. But that is all that fate would do… to protect him. Other than that, humans could never do anything for this world.
"I will-" the Forger tried to reason with the Enchantress, but she shut him up with a glare,
"You can't do anything anymore. And from now on, don't do anything stupid. And don't try to contact me either. I have nothing to do with you anymore," the Enchantress left the begging Forger on his own.
While she moved on to create a scenario where Adam would have a rather hard time to meet with her. She planned many trials and tribulations that were near impossible for anyone to overcome.
She was sure that only fate would bring him to her. And that would confirm one of her theories.
That fate weavers are favored by fate.
A few days passed as Adam went on a few missions and dates, met with goddesses, and went on with his work. Until a friend of his, Evelyn, got trapped in the [Ghost World].
Adam went on to clear the entire thing beautifully, one at a time. From the island to meeting with the [Former Sin of Greed]. And then to the trials… but something happened at the last trial…
He died before he could make an impact.
Killed by the previous trial by the being of darkness, who was supposed to assess his dark powers.
"What?" The enchantress waiting for him in the final room was truly ecstatic with this development. Though she was not expecting him to die, she was hoping for it from the start of it all.
In the end, she just wanted to get over it. But as luck would have it, he was dead before he reached her.
Her smile was wide, creeping the servant she brought with her. If she could kill this fate weaver, then she could truly kill others as well. And this made her the most happy.
Once all the fate weavers except her Lirawern were dead. She could simply ask for the other Primordials to unlock his last 2 restrictions, making him reach his full potential.
This way she could save this world and live with her fate weaver, the love of her life, forever and ever. Perhaps in a utopia where only she and her lover existed.
"Now, where should I begin? Should I kill that child of mana first or that monster fate weaver? Both of them disgust me. And next would be that other-worlder who would come here… hahaha… I cannot wait to begin…" She laughed like a madman as she thought about the plans she was making.
But…
Her smile vanished as she sensed something.
The world. The Ghost World was disappearing slowly. In front of her eyes, everything was vanishing.
"What is going on?" She narrowed her eyes at that before deciding it would be better to get away from here. And thus she escaped from the [Ghost World], leaving her servants behind to die.
Though outside, things were even more absurd than before. The entire world was crumbling. The sky. The sun. The ground. Everything was disintegrating in front of her eyes.
"What is going on… no… it can't be?!!" And then she realized the reason for it.
"No! No! No! No! No!" She began rejecting the thought in her mind, but she couldn't. It was firmly planted in her mind now, especially based on what she was witnessing.
"Why is fate… erasing an entire timeline just because he was killed? He is just a human… Why is fate favoring him so much?!!" She shouted in frustration as she realized the reason for his perfection.
Why was he not failing all the time? Why was he getting such a perfect result? Why did he know so much despite not having seen it even once?
He could go back in time without losing his memories.
"IT IS UNFAIR!!! WHY DO YOU FAVOR HIM SO MUCH?!! YOU DIDN'T FAVOR EVEN MY LIRAWERN?!! WHY HIM???!!!!" She shouted in agony in the air in front of him, to the fate that seemed cruel in her eyes.
And soon, the world disintegrated in front of her eyes. And so did she…
Leaving only an empty space.
Before, everything began reforming again.
