" Survivor of the 'Universal Reboot'? Is that what you are..., you are 'mm..., me'... " Ragna asks as he sees the old man, Ragna Orion 'Mamoru' Kent.

" Yes, that's what I am, 'me' from the Current Timeline, you can call me 'Ragna Twelve'. "

" And for correction, since 'I' am the one before you, then technically... 'you' are 'me'. "

" A continuos-generated existence, made by the 'Universal Reboot' Device after recording my 'Mortal' existence in the 12th Timeline. "

" Made to do the needs and desires of the Universal Reboot Device until the next 'Universal Reboot' comes as always... " Ragna Twelve explains.

" Pardon? " Ragna asks Ragna Twelve, which makes him realize what Ragna is concerned about, courtesy of them both being the same existence. 

" It's a Universal Event, made by the Diviners crazy-celestial device..., you know... "

" Those whom we called as 'the gods'... " he adds it.

" Diviners? Is that supposed to be their other name or something? " Ragna asks in confusion.

" 'Divinatores Superiora' or Diviners..., it's not some other for the gods but it's their race's real name. "

"At the end of my Timeline, my granddaughter Carla revealed the truth that she knows, being the Divine Hero she is, she told me things that a person like me didn't know. "

" Not just that... " Ragna Orion 'Mamoru' Kent rubs his left eye, showing his iris having a clock-like pattern, surprising Ragna who saw it.

" The [Divine Eyes: Twelve Eyes of Time] "

" This is the eye that could see through time, it allows the wielder to see things from the past, present, and future despite the vision might be clouded or just shown as a glimpse... "

" Limitations, huh? " Ragna asks while Ragna Twelve realizes how quickly Ragna grabs the information there.

" Like any power held by a mortal, this comes with limitations such as that... "

" Perhaps time doesn't want me to peek at things too much or perhaps 'influence'... " Ragna Twelve adds it while immediately showing Ragna some vision.

[ Divine Eyes Skill: Vision Sharing ]

In that vision, Ragna was shown some things, regarding Ragna Twelve's brief past, how did he gain the 'Twelve Eyes of Time', and also...

The vision of Ragna Twelve, using the 'Twelve Eyes of Time' until his eyes flood blood, uses a certain skill that enables him to share visions regardless of time's limits. This is the very reason why Ragna had weird dreams and heard weird whispers in certain moments of his life, like the recent times before this Raid.

" *Gasp*! " Ragna gasps, so surprised at the revelation just now.

" It was you..., you're the one who gave me those weird dreams and whispers! " 

“ That’s why I always see the dreams of you and ‘Carla’... “

“ Why is it, why it has to do with me, I don’t want to be a ‘grandpa’ yet, I- “

“ Because, without her, we can’t do shit! “ Ragna Twelve counters which startled Ragna a bit.

" If I didn't give you those dreams or warn you with whispers, how else I could guide you towards your journey, or perhaps give you some idea why I did this in the first place? "

“ Carla, our Granddaughter, is a powerful being that had great potential to stand against the gods, to complete our mission! “ Ragna Twelve says this and shares another vision, as soon as he did it, both Ragnas look around, checking if there’s anything that might hear that.

“ But this is just too much… “ Ragna replied with uncertainty, unsure if he needs to rush into adulthood at this age. For his current thought at this moment is too become strong once more or even stronger than ever before instead of whatever Ragna Twelve offers him.

“ Listen, I know you’re definitely overwhelmed with my proposal. But… “

“ As I said, without ‘me’ even considering silently helping you. You could've been dead at such a young age. “

“ For all I know, out of all Ragna Kents, you're the youngest of us with the little time duration before this Timeline's reboot! " 

" For in every passed timeline, my other generated existence after me is always generated younger and younger, making us close to not even exist in each reboot, for it happens in 2033, that means you only have Twelve Years from now! " Twelve tells Ragna making him raising his eyebrows.

“ What! Only Te…, te…, Twelve Years…!? “ Ragna stutters.

“ But I…, I… “

" Do you want that to happen to you!? How about your dreams if you have one? Your future? You still have plans to do, right!? Don’t you want to live longer like your elders promised you. " Ragna Twelve asks which makes Ragna silent.

" I..., I still have many things to do... "

" I haven't become an S-Rank Hunter yet, my promise with him and Uncle, I- " Ragna stutters after hearing such things while he was given more visions showing him what happens if he refuses this one.

" I will be 'manipulated' for my very existence... " Ragna says that as the System suddenly appeared nearby.

[ So, are you in, <Player>? ]

[ Do you finally want to embrace your destiny, this time? ] the System asked.

[ Choose: <Join Ragna Twelve's Quest>: Yes|No ]

" Destiny...? There's more to this...? " Ragna wonders, wondering why the conversation becomes that of a 'Chosen One' fantasy story or something.

" Just say yes or no! " Ragna Twelve tells Ragna which makes Ragna think about it and…
