Chapter 45: Lord of Ti and Space—Annoyed
Leon’s mystical eyes hovered over the long list of things that suddenly popped up in front of him.
He was truly shocked.

Reading the first part, which looked like a few beginner tips ant to guide newbies, Leon blinked.
Causality.
It wasn’t a term unfamiliar to him. He’d read fantasy novels in his spare ti every now and then—when life wasn’t kicking him too hard. Even without deep knowledge, he had so idea.
’In simple terms, it’s like cause and effect. Let’s suppose I had a thousand gold coins right now... with that, I could do a lot of things—like plan an assassination on a noble house’s heir.’
’If that assassination succeeded, it would shift the future, right? The outco would be different. And that ans those coins were part of a chain of events... a cause.’
’Which ans those coins now hold a causality value of their own, depending on what they helped achieve.’
Even thinking about it twisted his mind. What if the coins were used for sothing else entirely? What if the assassination failed? How could the system possibly asure their value if the future hadn’t even happened yet?
He let the thought trail off.
Trying to figure it out any further wasn’t going to help him. The one deciding the "causality value" was the system itself.
’Just from the na alone, I can guess it’s tied to the entire cosmos.’
’So whatever outco those thousand coins lead to... the value must be judged by how much it affects the greater cosmic balance.’
He didn’t know if his theory was right or even close. It was too complex to fully understand. But for now, it was the only explanation that made sense to him.
He stopped thinking about it and focused on the item list below.

1. Chrono-Stasis Ring (Legendary – Item)
Freezes ti for exactly three seconds. Usable once every 24 hours.
Price: 9,000,000
Vendor: Lord of Ti and Space

"Chrono-Stasis Ring! Legendary rank!!!" he murmured, half in disbelief.
He read the description again. Three seconds of frozen ti. A reusable item.
’Three seconds... that’s more than enough to decide life or death in a battle. That’s way too overpowered. Especially when it resets every 24 hours.’
He stared at the price. 9 million causalities. He didn’t know how high that was—not yet. He had no comparison. But instinct told him everything he needed to know.
This wasn’t going to be cheap.
And then his gaze drifted to the last line. He couldn’t help but say it out loud.
"Lord of Ti and Space."
The words barely left his lips before the air shifted.
The very atmosphere around him trembled. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t violent. But sothing pressed in from all directions, like a soundless vibration rolling through reality.
It scared him a little.
’What is this? A universal ringtone?’
He tried to laugh it off, but the effect was far from funny. In fact, it was terrifying.
He swore to himself then and there: that he would never speak another vendor’s na out loud.
Whoever was selling these items... they were not the kind of entities he wanted looking in his direction.

anwhile...
In a dinsion untethered to physical ti—where reality bent and stretched like breath through silk—clock halos drifted slowly in endless space. So ticked backward. So spiraled. Others simply hovered, motionless but pulsing with presence.
Amidst them sat a woman. Floating, legs crossed, posture calm.
Silver hair floated around her like fluid light, brushing the air as if it, too, had mory. Her eyes opened slowly—revealing irises etched with countless clock faces, all shifting at different speeds. Her expression was calm... until it wasn’t.
A faint ripple of irritation passed over her ethereal features.
Her beauty wasn’t mortal. It wasn’t even divine. It was impossible. The kind that could freeze a god mid-sentence.
"Who the fuck is calling my na?" she muttered.
She knew instantly—it had to be another Lord. A being of equal or near-equal power. Only sothing at that level would trigger a ping through her dinsional boundary. As for the weaker ones? She’d long since turned their notifications off.
And the fact that she couldn’t trace the face or the source only confird her suspicion.
Only one person in existence could do that in the existing Lords.
’That bitch. I told her no pranks while I’m in seclusion.’
Her annoyance simred.
’When I co out of this in a thousand years, I’m going to spank her through six tilines for this stunt.’
The Lord of Ti and Space closed her eyes and resud her trance.
Unaware that the one who triggered it wasn’t a cheeky Lord.
It was just a silver-haired boy on so forgotten plane whose existence was important enough to trigger her senses, or there was sothing else at play.
Who made the mistake of saying her na out loud.
