Adrian was sitting inside the Time Chamber, working on an artifact he had received from Forgelet.
Lately, he had noticed his skills in crafting were improving. Shaping the pieces, fitting the parts, trimming the extras—he could even carve a structure straight out of raw material now.
The artifact he was building this time was meant to create a soundless dome around him.
Of course, he would need the help of someone with wind affinity to properly tune it, but that could wait.
For the runes, he needed something heavy, flat, and with enough space to hold them. Still, it would be better if the artifact wasn't easily visible. If others noticed it, they might break it or move it, ruining the silence.
All he wanted was to study in peace without being disturbed. He needed to finish his research on the fifth thread and then move on to experimentation.
It wasn't because the system had set a deadline—it was because he wanted his memories back.
