Mad Paradox

1/5 - Clear Forgotten Elrian Sanctum [0/1]

One day, he aimlessly travels through Time and Space, Add finds powerful El energy resonating through Elrios. When he comes to investigate, Add finds himself in the recently awakened city of Elrianode.

Once he finds out where he is, Add concentrates his efforts to investigate the mysterious cave with unique flow of energy.

2/5 - Collect Trace of Primordial Chaos (Chrysalis, Forgotten Elrian Sanctum) [0/5]

The energy within the cave was interesting, with El energy and Henir energy mingling together. To find samples, Add finds himself deeper in the cave where he finds stronger monsters. Their bodies may come in handy in future experiments, so let's make sure not to annihilate them completely.

3/5 -  Collect Grand Compass Pieces (Skin Splitter, Elrianode) [0/20]

After the battle, Add finds himself at the entrance of the cave again.

He hears a voice... and this life signal...

Add turns to the cave again to confirm his suspicion, but Glave blocks his way. Glave 'warns' him that there's no going back once he enter the cave. Even when Add threatens to physically remove him, Glave just laughs and disappears. In his place, various mutated beings came crawling at him. Let's eliminate these... Things that's blocking his way.

4/5 - Defeat Henir Mutated Monsters (Elrianode City/Debrian Laboratory) [0/2000]

As he defeats monsters one by one, Add feels his body, worn by constant travel between Time and Space, slowly tearing apart.

He cannot disappear like this. Let's get rid of all the remaining monsters roaming around to create an environment to rest in.

5/5 - Clear El Tower Defense 5 times [0/5]

Add pulls out a flask of purple liquid and begins to drink out of it.

He didn't need Glave's 'warning.' He already knew that his body could not withstand endless destruction through Time and Space. It was clear that his body has reached its limits with the last battle.

He recalls what the mysterious voice said. The most annoying out of them was when it called him a 'failure.'

Add's eyes began to lose focus. When he finally arrived in a past and saw his young happy self, he realized it's impossible to go back to his past. It was, is, an unachievable goal.

But the voice, his other self, flaunted it, calling him a failure as if he somehow managed to put that behind him.

Is it truly time to accept the fact that going to his past is an unachievable goal?

Does he just follow a destined path of failure, repeating the inevitable?

No, there's no such thing as destined failure. Even if he has to destroy the natural order, he will arrive at his own past!

That moment, Add's body and mind starts to disintegrate.

Using all his forbidden power, he barely manages to tie himself to this timeline before he scatters to pieces.

He can't say when he will disintegrate. Before that, he must meet with the mysterious figure.

Add headed towards the sanctum. 'He' was waiting for his answer at the heart of the sanctum.

Time Tracer

1/4 - Enter 'Bethma Village'

Even though he knew Wally ran away, Add focused on his research. He was moments away from finishing the formula, so he had no time to spare on other things. As he completed his formula in midst of all the research materials he used, Add murmured. Please wait just a bit longer, Mother.

2/4 - Bethma - Clear 'Bethma Lake' [0/1]

It was... It was finally complete. After hours of working applying the necessary formula to travel to the past to his Dynamo, Add realizes he needs special material to make his Dynamo suited for time travel. He's not certain if he can acquire the suitable material, but he has no choice. Let's begin the investigation.

3/4 - Enter 'Bethma Village'

No, no, no. None of this worked. Even after acquiring special material, none of them fit what was required for the formula perfectly. After repeated failures, Add's determination began to wear down. Is this going to fail? Is he never going to be able to return to his mother? As Add stood in denial, he heard the dynamo beep, signaling that it finished the calculations.

4/4 - Bethma - Clear 'Dragon Nest' [0/1]

Moonstone. A mystical object that is said to fall from the second moon of Elrios and hold pure energy. Add finally manages to get a hold of the Moonstone and modifies the Dynamo. Finally, he can get everything back... With the power to time travel, Add throws himself towards the rift created by the Dynamo to find the time and space his mother is located.

Diabolic Esper

1/5 - Altera - Clear Nasod Foundry [0/1]

Add's hands were shaking. He didn't even remember how many times he failed anymore. But this moment, as he looked at the coordinates after countless trial and error, Add was certain. This. Tis is where his mother was. This is the 'past' he must return to. There's no time to waste. Let's collect the energy to use for traveling across time and space.

2/5 - Altera - Clear 'Altera Core' [0/1]

Once he collected enough energy, Add breathed slowly. The calculations were perfect. The current margin of error was so miniscule, it might as well not exist. Add was finally able to smile as he stood in front of the dimension rift that he was all too familiar of. I'm coming, mother.

3/5 - Enter 'Feita Village'

This can't be happening, Add looked around as he finally arrived at the past he longed for. He thought he finally succeeded when he saw familiar places. He thought he finally returned to his mother. But why...

Familiar place, familiar faces. But Add noticed something was different as he looked at his own face smiling happily.

4/5 - Feita - Clear 'Shrine of Dedication Entrance' [0/1]

Did he do something wrong? Did he miss something? Add went over the equation frantically. The hand writing down the new equation was shaking. The must be a mistake. If that tiny margin of error was the variable, he just needed to tighten the variables. As he pushed down the welling anxiety, Add opened another rift.

5/5 - Feita - Clear 'Underground Chapel' [0/1]

He could not go. He could not find it. Add laughed in the rift between Time and Space. It was impossible to return to his mother to begin with. Then why did the world make him hope? The inhuman knowledge he acquired as he traveled through time and space tangled, and drove Add to insanity. He cursed the world and summoned the power to destroy time and space.
