บท 210: Turning Point 2.0 [5]

263 total progressions.

And each one had ended in tragedy.

"You're Raven Blackheart."

To be precise, Raven Blackheart of a progression where mana had never existed.

A timeline where Jin fully cut the flow of mana, in hopes of ending it all.

The 262nd progression.

And yet tragedy befell that timeline.

"So my mother…."

"That's right."

She's dead.

"Each timeline flows continuously. And we thought you were our best chance to finally end it all."

Because he had lived a whole different life than them.

A variant of Raven Blackheart who had grown up in a world with no magic.

He was the only one different, throughout all the progression.

And what Jin needed was 'something different.'

Anything.

Just so things would finally be….

"Different."

"You are his gamble."

"And are you working for them?"

After all, he said 'our'.
