Ren stood amidst the fractured time layers,
golden light from his watch spreading through every layer.
Each layer reflected past, future, and present eras together.
The Overseer appeared above the layers.
> "This is the final lock, young man from Takkalu…
No one has ever passed it without fail.
Will you succeed?"
Ren inhaled sharply.
His Art of Time Reversal revealed the paths
All routes overlapped like a woven carpet of time
Every movement had hidden rhythm and gaps
The opponents appeared as multiple overlapping shadows,
moving like time itself fractured into lines.
Ren had to think and predict, striking at every rhythm.
Ren hesitated, deciding:
Follow the "easy-looking path" or
Risk the hidden path that might lead to victory
He paused briefly,
Observing the swirling stone fragments
The opponents' rhythm synced with the ticking of his watch
The final lock point opened
Ren dashed through the path
The opponents were separated from time
Time layers rearranged around him
He passed the trial successfully
The Overseer laughed coldly.
> "You've passed… young man from Takkalu.
You are the only one who truly understands the layers of time.
This is the power of Art of Time Reversal."
Ren smiled,
Feeling the freedom and power of time
He stepped out of the layers, confident
The adventure was not over, but he was ready for anything
