Ivandoe's eyes blazed with determination. "I'll rescue them", he declared, his voice firm and resolute.
The Paradox's energy pulsed with approval.
"A brave heart, huh...very well, Ivandoe. This will be your first quest. Complete it successfully, and your Hyper level will increase ".
Ivandoe nodded, his mind racing with strategies. He set off towards the Empire of Chandesia, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
As he journeyed, the landscape shifted from dense forests to rocky terrain. Ivandoe navigated the rough part, his senses on high alert.
Suddenly, a collosal goblin emerged from the shadows. Its massive frame uprooted trees with ease, sending them crashing towards Ivandoe.
A holographic menu, then the Paradox's voice echoed in his mind:

"Ivandoe, you've obtained a sub-ability: Dilation. This ability allows you to manipulate time and space, slowing down or speeding up the flow of time".
Ivandoe's eyes widened as he grasped the implications. With Dilation, he could turn the tide of battle in his favor.
The goblin hurled another tree trunk at Ivandoe. With a swift thought, Ivandoe activated Dilation, slowing down time around him.
The tree trunk hung suspended in mid-air, its trajectory frozen. Ivandoe seized the opportunity, dashing forward with the sword of the Paradox shining brightly.
As Ivandoe struck the goblin's knee, crippling its massive leg.
The goblin roared, stumbling. Ivandoe seized the opportunity, unleashing a flurry of swift strikes. The sword sliced through the air, biting deep into the goblin's flesh. As time normalized, the goblin crashed to the ground, defeated.
Ivandoe stood victorious, his chest heaving with exertion. The Paradox's voice echoed in his mind, "Well done, Ivandoe. Your Hyper Level remains at 1, but your combat skills have improved ".
After defeating the goblin, Ivandoe continued his journey. However, he noticed his energy dwindling.
The Paradox's voice echoed in his mind: "Ivandoe, you need to replenish your energy. Search for Chrono berries to restore your energy".
Ivandoe quickly scanned his surroundings and spotted a cluster of rare, glowing berries growing on a nearby bush. He consumed the berries, feeling a surge of energy coursing through his veins.

With is energy replenished and his Hyperbook level upgraded, Ivandoe felt more confident and prepared to face the challenges ahead. He continued his journey, ready to rescue the captured students.
As Ivandoe continued his journey, he noticed that the Chrono Berries did not only replenish his energy but also granted him a temporary speed boost. His movement became more swifter and his senses grew more accurate. With his new found agility, Ivandoe pressed onward.
As Ivandoe journeyed deeper into the Empire's territory, he utilized his temporary speed boost to navigate the treacherous terrain with ease.
The Paradox's voice echoed in his mind:
"Ivandoe, you're approaching the Empire's outpost. Be cautious, the Empire's soldiers are heavily armed and we'll trained".
Ivandoe nodded, his senses on high alert. He crept forward, using the speed boost to swiftly move between cover.
As he approached the outpost, Ivandoe spotted a group of soldiers guarding the entrance. They were heavily armed, with shields and swords at the ready.
As Ivandoe approached the outskirts of the Empire of Chandesia, he was met with the imposing sight of the great wall of Chandesia. The wall stretched as far as the eye could see, it's stone surface gleaming in the sunlight.
Before the wall stood the massive heavy gate of Chandesia, adorned with intricate carvings and symbols of the Empire's power. The gate was guarded by heavily armed soldiers who eyed Ivandoe with suspicion.
Just as Ivandoe was contemplating his next move, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Camelous, the wizard who had appeared to Ivandoe earlier.
"Ah, young Ivandoe", Camelous said, his eyes twinkling with interest. "I see you're determined to rescue the captured students. But do you have what it takes to breach the Empire's defenses!"
Ivandoe hesitated, unsure of how to respond.
"I...I need to get inside the empire", he said finally. "But I don't have the Empire's identity card. Can you help me?"
Camelous chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement.
"I'm afraid I don't own the Empire's identity card, young Ivandoe. And even if I did, I wouldn't be able to lend it to you. You have to find your own way into the empire".
Ivandoe's face fell, buh he refused to give up. He knew that he had to find a way into the empire no matter what.
As Ivandoe stood before the great wall of Chandesia, he noticed that the wall seemed to emitting a faint hum. The hum grew louder as he approached the heavy gate.
Camelous, who was standing beside him, nodded thoughtfully.
"The wall is enchanted with powerful magic", he explained.
"It's designed to detect and repel any unauthorized individual who try to enter the empire.
Ivandoe's eyes widened as he realized the enormity of his task. He would have to find a way to bypass the walls magic if he was going to rescue the captured students.
