After opening and reopening my eyes, I confirmed for the fifth time that I was indeed right in front of the cake shop and not back at the academy with the collapsing coliseum.
...not again, man... didn't I already go through this shit.
Recalling the incident at the amusement park, a slight sliver of hope appeared in my mind.
My dragon's eye had advanced the last time I time-traveled, so what if it upgraded and activated my Dragon's will again this time?
...First, let's get through this alive, then worry about that.
Snapping me out of my thoughts, I nearly jumped back in shock as a voice spoke from my left.
"Boss... where the hell did you get a cat?"
Zeng is here... so we haven't entered the tunnel yet or fought the stalker with the blood-red sword.
Why is this the checkpoint, though, and not somewhere else? Did the critical moment happen now, then? Is it a clue about what I need to do? What do I need to change? What did Astrid and I do wrong?
