-Bang!

"What!"

Breaking the nightstand with my fist, I hastily looked through the contents of the book.

Flipping through the pages of the book, I quickly looked for anything that could give me a clue about what had happened to Jin...but it was to no avail as the book stopped right after Jin's death.

What was happening?

...Jin one of the main protagonists died?

Impossible!

Hastily taking out a pen, I tried everything I could to change the outcome of what was written in the book, but it was all futile as every five seconds the changes I made disappeared.

"Damn it!"

Clenching my jaw and fists hard, I closed the book and let out a long breath.

I needed to stay calm.

I couldn't panic.

Jin's death would be devastating to the plotline. He was instrumental in helping Kevin grow both as a person and as a Hero.

His death would have a huge effect on the plotline...I couldn't let him die.

Closing my eyes, I made my mind up and headed towards the exit of my room.

...whatever caused Jin's death, I had to stop it at all costs!

If I allowed Jin to die, what was the point of letting all of this massacre happen?

Didn't I turn a blind eye to this so that the plotline could continue? What was the point of me not interfering if things didn't go as the plotline dictated?

-Gulp! -Gulp!

Downing a couple of potions to recover my stamina and mana, I put the book in the insides of my blazer and left the room.

...I didn't have much time.

Considering the effects of the book, I had less than ten minutes to alter the future in which Jin was destined to die.

...realistically, I had five minutes, since ten minutes was the time that Kevin and the others found Jin's dead body.

Reactivating [Monarch's indifference], I opened the door and made my way towards Jin's room.

I had one goal, and one goal only.

Preventing Jin's death.

...

Surrounded by multiple black-clad individuals, Jin's figure deftly and skillfully moved around them.

It was almost as if he was a ghost...his figure would melt with the shadows and reappear behind any one of the black-clad individuals catching them by surprise.

-Swish!

Appearing behind one of the black-clad individuals, Jin swung his dagger towards the back of his head.

As he swung, the image of the dagger blurred as it coursed through the air in a lightning-fast manner.

It was so fast, that the afterimage of the dagger lingered in the air for a split second.

-Clank! -Clank!

"kkhhh...damn it!"

As if predicting Jin's attack, quickly turning around and parrying Jin's surprise attack, two black-clad individuals appeared next to Jin and attacked him from both his right and left flank.

Ducking down and dodging the two attacks, Jin dashed forward and slid between the two black-clad individuals.

-Slash

-Slit

As he slid, two deep cuts appeared on the two black-clad individual's calves as Jin made sure to cut their legs in order to hinder their movements.

Stumbling a couple of steps due to the cuts on their legs, the other black-clad individual, who Jin tried to ambush, stabbed his sword downwards.

-Roll

Rolling to the side to avoid the sword, Jin tensed his core and with the aid of his back jumped up in the air.

-Clank! -Clank!

Whilst in the air, Jin forcefully twisted his body and spun like a wheel as he parried all the attacks that came from all sides.

-Thud!

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Landing on the ground, Jin heavily panted for air as he wiped the sweat that had started accumulating on his forehead.

Looking at the five individuals before him, Jin's face became grim.

Despite being stronger than them, it somehow felt as if he was fighting against an insatiable beast.

No matter how much Jin tried, the black-clad individuals he was fighting would quickly respond to his attacks and counter them with an even more fearsome combo.

It was to the point that his breathing started to become heavier and heavier by the second.

From the way he saw things, the most he could last would be five more minutes.
