Yoon-Ah approached Jin.
"Jin, what's our next move?" Yoon-Ah asked.
"We need to gather information," Jin replied.
"About what?" Ji-Hoon asked.
"This organization," Jin said.
"I have a contact," Ash said.
"A spy within the organization?" Xarath added.
Ash nodded.
"Let's meet with them," Jin decided.
The group navigated through the temple's hidden passages.
They reached a secluded chamber.
A hooded figure awaited.
"Greetings, Jin," the figure said.
"I see you defeated Khaos," the figure continued.
"Who are you?" Yoon-Ah asked.
"My name is Raven," the figure replied.
"I'm here to provide information," Raven said.
"About the organization?" Jin asked.
Raven nodded.
"They're called the Umbra Collective," Raven said.
"Their goal is to harness the Eclipse's power," Raven continued.
"For what purpose?" Ji-Hoon asked.
"World domination," Raven replied.
The group exchanged worried glances.
"We can't let that happen," Jin said.
"I agree," Raven said.
"I'll provide you with intel," Raven continued.
"But you must be cautious," Raven warned.
"The Umbra Collective is ruthless."

"Alright, let's review the plan," Jin said.
"We infiltrate, gather intel, and take out their leaders," Ash said.
"Simple and effective," Xarath added.
Yoon-Ah nodded.
"I'll take point."
"I'll cover our rear," Ji-Hoon said.
Joon-Oh grinned.
"I'll handle any surprises."
The group approached the Umbra Collective's hideout.
"Get ready," Jin whispered.
"We're going in."
"Wait here," Jin whispered.
"What's the plan?" Yoon-Ah asked.
"I'll scout ahead," Jin replied.
"Alone?" Ji-Hoon asked.
"I'll be fine," Jin said.
Jin activated Shadow Manipulation.
[System Message]
_Shadow Manipulation activated. Stealth mode engaged._
Jin melted into the shadows.
"Be careful," Ash whispered.
"I'll be back soon," Jin's voice echoed from the darkness.
Jin navigated through the hideout's perimeter.
He avoided guards and traps with ease.
"Looks like they're preparing for something big," Jin muttered.
Jin discovered a hidden entrance.
He slipped inside.
A dimly lit corridor stretched before him.
Jin crept forward.
Voices echoed from up ahead.
"...Eclipse's power will soon be ours," a figure said.
"Not if the Necromancer intervenes," another replied.
Jin's eyes narrowed.
"Necromancer?" Jin whispered. "Must be talking about me."
Jin continued listening.
"...Umbra Collective's leader, Archon, will ensure our success," the first figure said.
"Archon?" Jin repeated.
[System Message]
_New target acquired: Archon, Umbra Collective's leader._
Jin committed the information to memory.
He retreated into the shadows.
Jin reappeared outside.
"Their leader's name is Archon," Jin briefed.
"They're planning something big," Jin continued.
"What kind of operation?" Yoon-Ah asked.
"Didn't specify," Jin replied.
"But we have a target," Ash said.
"Archon," Xarath added.
"Let's get him," Ji-Hoon said.
Joon-Oh grinned.
"Time to crash the party."
The group nodded.
"Stealthy infiltration," Jin decided.
"We take out Archon quietly."
"Let's move," Jin whispered.
The group followed Jin through the shadows.
They navigated the winding corridors.
Guards patrolled, oblivious to their presence.
"Archon's quarters should be nearby," Jin whispered.
"Stay sharp," Ash reminded.
They turned a corner.
A pair of elite guards blocked the path.
"Trouble," Ji-Hoon whispered.
"Not yet," Jin replied.
Jin activated Shadow Manipulation.
[System Message]
_Shadow Manipulation activated. Stealth mode engaged._
Jin slipped past the guards.
The others followed, undetected.
They reached Archon's quarters.
A heavily reinforced door barred their way.
"Locked down tight," Xarath observed.
"Leave that to me," Jin said.
Jin produced a set of lockpicks.
"Learned from Raven," Jin whispered.
Jin worked the locks.
The door creaked open.
Archon sat behind a massive desk.
Surrounded by dark artifacts.
"Welcome, Necromancer," Archon sneered.
"You're just in time to witness the Eclipse's true power."
"Not today," Jin said.
Archon's eyes widened.
"You shouldn't have made it past my guards!"
"We're full of surprises," Ji-Hoon said.
Archon sneered, confident in his powers.
"You fools," Archon said. "You think you can defeat me?"
Jin charged forward.
"Dagger Strike!" Jin exclaimed.
Archon raised his hand.
"Darkness Bind!" Archon shouted.
A dark, ethereal chain materialized.
It ensnared Jin.
"Gravity Distortion!" Jin shouted.
[System Message]
_Gravity Distortion activated. Jin's speed increased by 30%._
Jin broke free from the chains.
But Archon vanished.
"Where did he go?" Yoon-Ah asked.
"Spread out!" Ash warned.
Archon reappeared behind Ji-Hoon.
"Future's Judgment!" Archon declared.
Ji-Hoon stumbled, struck by an unseen force.
"Ji-Hoon!" Yoon-Ah shouted.
"Chrono Shift!" Archon exclaimed.
Time seemed to slow for the group.
Archon moved swiftly, landing critical hits.
"Shadow Requiem!" Jin roared.
[System Message]
_Shadow Requiem activated. Damage increased by 40%._
A dark aura engulfed Archon.
But he laughed.
"Future's Insight!" Archon shouted.
Archon anticipated every attack.
He countered with devastating blows.
"We need to change tactics," Ash said.
"Agreed," Xarath replied.
Joon-Oh charged forward.
"Blazing Fist!" Joon-Oh exclaimed.
Archon parried the attack.
"Darkness Devour!" Archon declared.
A dark void opened. Joon-Oh was pulled in.
"Joon-Oh!" Jin shouted.
"No...this can't be..." Joon-Oh's voice faded.
[System Message]
_Party member Joon-Oh incapacitated._
The group's morale wavered.
But Jin's determination burned brighter.
"We won't back down!" Jin exclaimed.
"Apocalypse!" Jin roared.
[System Message]
_Apocalypse activated. Damage increased by 50%._
The room shook. Archon stumbled.
"Arise!" Jin commanded.
[System Message]
_Necromancy activated. Summoning Shadow Soldiers._
The room darkened.
Shadows swirled.
Han, Xarath, and Ash materialized.
Followed by an army of Shadow Soldiers.
Their numbers filled the room.
Yoon-Ah's eyes widened.
"Jin, how many...?" Yoon-Ah trailed off.
Ji-Hoon stared.
"Impossible...so many..." Ji-Hoon
muttered.
Archon's expression changed.
From surprise to amusement.
He laughed.
"Ah, the Necromancer's true power," Archon said.
"But it won't matter."
"Why not?" Jin demanded.
"Because, as long as there's a future where I win," Archon began.
"Everything you do is futile."
Archon's eyes gleamed.
"I've seen the threads of time."
"I know every outcome."
"And in every one, I emerge victorious."
The group exchanged uneasy glances.
"Then we'll change the future," Jin declared.
"Arise, my legion!" Jin shouted.
[System Message]
_Shadow Soldiers (x50) summoned._
_Shadow Soldiers' stats increased by 20% due to Jin's Necromancy +2._
The Shadow Soldiers charged.
Archon raised his hand.
"Future's Reckoning!" Archon declared.
A temporal blast struck the Shadow Soldiers.
Many fell.
But Jin's minions kept coming.
Han and Xarath led the charge.
"Ash, support from the rear!" Jin ordered.
"Aye, Master!" Ash replied.
Ash unleashed dark magic.
Bolstering the Shadow Soldiers.
The battle raged on.
Archon's powers seemed limitless.
But Jin's determination never wavered.
The battle raged on.
Archon's powers seemed to grow stronger.
"Future's Reckoning!" Archon declared.

Jin's minions fell by the dozen.
But Jin refused to yield.
"Arise!" Jin shouted.
[System Message]

Han and Xarath fought valiantly.
Ash's dark magic supported the troops.
Yoon-Ah and Ji-Hoon joined the fray.
Their swords clashed with Archon's defenses.
Archon parried every attack.
"Your efforts are futile," Archon said. "I've seen every timeline. I know every outcome and in every one, I emerge victorious."
Archon's eyes gleamed.
"I will manipulate the events to lead to the one where I win."
Jin's determination wavered. For a moment.
"No!" Jin shouted.
"Apocalypse!" Jin roared.
[System Message]
_Apocalypse activated. Damage increased by 50%._
The room shook.
Archon stumbled.
But Archon's smile returned.
"Temporal Shift!" Archon declared.
Time seemed to rewind. The Shadow Soldiers re-died. Jin's attack never landed.
Archon's powers left Jin reeling.
"You see, Necromancer," Archon began.
"There's always a future where I win."
"And I will ensure that future comes to pass."
Archon's confidence grew.
Jin's army dwindled. Han and Xarath fell. Ash's magic faltered.
Yoon-Ah and Ji-Hoon stumbled.
Archon's upper hand seemed insurmountable.
"Gravity Distortion!" Jin shouted.
[System Message]
_Gravity Distortion activated. Jin's speed increased by 30%._
Jin struck Archon with lightning speed.
But Archon anticipated every blow.
"Future's Insight!" Archon exclaimed.
Archon countered Jin's attacks.
Jin stumbled backward.
Archon's laughter echoed.
"The threads of time are mine to weave. And you are just a pawn."
