Faced with his worst nightmare, the man finds himself slumped over his work desk in tears. It's impossible to do anything in this condition.. He doesn't spare a moment and goes back home to his empty apartment. However, when he gets there, he's greeted with a letter by the door. Opening it, he mulls over the contents before making a choice.
"Good evening, Oscar Ivy. I see you've made the good choice." The woman in the seat greeted, her hands crossed.
"..I can't refuse."
"Of course. Please, take a seat. Let us discuss the terms of our new agreement, and let me introduce to you The Ezekiel's box." She smiles ever so faintly, gesturing to the seat in front of her desk.
"...Right. What does it do?" He mumbles. In her hands is a blue cube, akin to a die with a golden button on the top.
"It's a weapon that allows you to chase after a 'new' fate. Interesting, no? This box allows you to move timelines and back. We've found a loop in the wormholes, if you want to get technical."
"You're saying I can avoid what happens in this universe if I take this deal?"
"Who wouldn't jump at a chance to reverse the deaths of ones you hold dear?" The woman smiled, her crimson hair almost shimmering underneath the dim light of the office.
"...I'll do it."
"Wonderful.
"You will severely regret doing this to me. To Humanity."
"The famed hotshot of Light Bay has a target on his head for not going through with his side of a promise, and the other party had to send a 'warning' letter.. In the form of a genetic clone of the famed 'Author' of Clear Synapse, a popular Sci-Fi novel. Due to one thing and another, he found himself growing fond of the copy.. But when he discovers a hitlist with his closest friends listed to be taken and recorded for The Humanity Project, what step does he take next?"
"Those who have survived the human experiments, must be removed."
