《Paradox》Step 3: Time travel
Advertisement
Oh? You've made it to step 3.
It is time for you to officially become a Paradox.
That is, if you're able to follow this step.
I warn you... if you do not have resolve.
Stop now
You will fall into madness for eternity from what you are about to do.
In step 1 we got the basics of the visualization technique
In step 2 we got the spiritual guardian
I bet you're wondering what step 3 is all about and why it is so important.
The one thing you are missing is the mantra to follow.
Or what I like to call the virus.
It is also called the global existence.
First things first... we must pick a date and time.
See, you're about to become a Paradox... but what is a Paradox without time travel?
That's right!
You're going to be entering a very short time loop.
During this loop, you will be a sort of cosmic horror to others.
So you want to isolate yourself beforehand.
What you will need:
1x Mirror
1x Laptop/computer
1x Case of water (No sugary drinks)
1x Empty room to spend eternity in.
The reason why you don't want any sugary drinks is because what we are about to do will physically change how your brain works for the rest of your life.
Your body is going to act all funny by itself, let alone throwing food into the mix.
You're going to being spending centuries alone in your room.
Without food... with just water.
The change to your body will make it so you no longer require sleep (although you will die if you don't sleep for about a year, you won't get tired though).
But you also won't go mad from this (well eventually).
The Mirror is so you can check your pupils afterwards... they'll be fully dilated (Psychosis)
The computer is to make the virus you'll be using to invade reality.
So now we must choose a date and time.
Timezones do not matter at all here, we will be going based off your time and date.
March 23rd at 11:57PM
Why this specific date?

Well, we be synchronizing your other selves.
The versions of you that have read this book will know this is the date.
This book is one of the few things consistent across this multiverse.
So different versions of yourself that happened to read this book will know 'this is the date, this is the time'
Now we must construct your global existence.
This will be an Object
This will also go in slot 1 of your visualization technique.
This is a copy of my simplified global existence (I doubt you'd be able to do anything malicious with this information)
SOURCE = {
manifest:"100051oi01^ti9+ai21+ec1-ac5202704202703202702202701202700202709102708102707102726102705102704102703102702102701102709002705002701q0w70900270500270100270100270000270999170899170899170799171ec+12ia+9it^100000:nrettap,",
Name: "Time",
Timeline: G77,
Type: nothing,
TrueExistence: "God's Death",
GlobalExistence: 'Item.txt',
Pattern:"000001^ti9+ai21+ce171997071998071999072000072001072005072009072011072012072013072014072015072016072017072018072019072020072021072022072023072024072025ca-1ce+12ia+9it^10io150001"}
Think of the manifest and pattern as the telomeres and the name, timeline,type,true existence as the dna of this virus.
It also isn't here, because that would be like painting a target on my back
You'll need a target as well.
There you will put your 'spiritual name'.
The Manifest and Pattern need to have condensed information about important moments in your life and other information you wish to add to the knowledge of your hivemind.
You will make this a physical file on your computer (on the desktop).
The file will be called 'Item.txt'
You see, to become a Paradox... you have to have already always been one.
You're probably thinking that makes no sense and that it is then impossible to become a Paradox.
We'll you're right about it being impossible.
But that is the graduating point of a Paradox
You don't become one until you do something impossible.
That basic visualization technique you have has to be one you've always had.
You need to travel through time to before you were born
When your existence was 'nothing'.
You need to then 'gift' that visualization technique to yourself
That will alter history and make it so you have always had it.
But first we need to time travel...
You see... that part is a little tricky.
Time travel is hard to do correctly for even the most genius paradox's out there.

Because you need reality to go offline in an instant.
Remember how we talked about you being the client and reality the server...
Well, we need to force reality to do a restart here without banning you completely.
We need to keep what you're rendering on during the restart.
This will also create an origin universe.
You will be crossing over to a new universe in this step.
You see that line 'Timeline'
Well that is actually the universe you're in.
Change that to whatever universe you wish to go to.
So G78 would be a completely different universe.
If you wish to leave this multiverse all together... you'll need to go against the original incarnations... that is not something I advise you to do.
During this step you will setting up the configuration of your hivemind. You must remember that all of them are you, and you are all of them. If you die, as long as the hivemind survives, your global existence survives and you survive.
So now let's get into the important stuff.
After you finish making your Global Existence, you're going to convert it to binary (You're going to want to already have this ready before the date and time).
Then put that binary in the 'Item.txt' file on your desktop.
Once it hits 11:57PM open that file and begin reading outloud the binary.
You'll continue reading for... well.. forever.
You'll soon notice that no matter how long you read it... it never ends.
You'll check the time on the computer
11:58PM
11:59PM
11:57PM
At this point... you'll probably think 'that's pretty neat'
It is not
See... You just put yourself in a time loop.
One you will have to escape to become a Paradox.
You will have to comprehend the laws of causality to the point where your will alone can shatter reality.
A genius will only take a few decades here...
I myself took far longer then I would like to say.
You will spend centuries here.
Constantly reading out the binary.
Sure... you can stop reading it.
But the door to outside leads to nothing but the abyss.
The room you're in, is the only thing left on in your universe.
Your universe is in the middle of a restart and for it time doesn't matter.
There is an upside to this though
You can communicate by reading the binary, to the other versions of yourself.
It is here where you will unite with yourself and become a Hivemind.
Once you have broken out of the loop, you will be completely delusional.
You'll speak in mad ravings that no one can understand.
Going back to normal life after spending hundreds to thousands of years in isolation is a task that even those with the strongest will, will find impossible.
But you did it.
You broke out of that cursed loop.
You did remember to use that brief instant to send your visualization technique back to before you were born right?
Good.
If you didn't... you might need to try again... and again.
Hold onto that one thought...
You MUST pull it off.
Otherwise, you'll just be a Flawless.
Anyways... now that you have done something impossible... you have officially become a Paradox.
There is a slight issue though...
You're completely insane!
This insanity can be cured... but most antipsychotic's won't work.
We'll discuss treatment and recovery in the next step (if you are destined to see it - maybe).
It should also be noted that the 'lesser' versions of yourself that went completely mad without being able to break out of the loop, will spend forever in that loop and they also kind of serve as the processing power for your 'brain'.
Now you are able to think without a physical form and travel the abyss freely.
Since you have your visualization technique shielding you and the processing power of infinite trapped versions of yourself forced to forever mutter your global existence.
The downside is... you might not become Paradox. You might just be one of many versions of yourself that never did the impossible.
That is the main risk here, as well as the insanity afterwards that you'll need to recover from.

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

Deviant Rule
When their world changed, everyone began chasing the same thing. The emergence of an energy that could make you strong enough to take anything you wanted changed everyone. They blinded themselves to a part of the world's new truth. For them, the only truth was that the powerful would rule the weak. Alius was someone different from all of them. A deviation from the plan. It made him hated. His only question was why? Why did they think his path was wrong? Maybe... they were the ones who had made a mistake. (The warnings are mainly to give myself creative freedom in the future. While we're here, I would also like to warn you that there will be a decently chaotic release schedule. Add that to the first-time experience and you have a crappy story that might get better. Enjoy what you can!)

Quirkless?
As a small child my whole perception of the world changed. I was surrounded by liars and fakes. Humans are such a cruel species, if someone doesn't fit they are cast out. People turn a blind eye to cruelty I've faced, people don't care about the quirkless. Except I'm not quirkless. Far from it. All I can say is my treatment in this world made me strong but cold, bitter and apathetic. I was the only human I could trust, I and I alone. Here is the story of how I ended up in my version of hell, UA. Surrounded by, well you know, just about every single person I couldn't get far enough away from. And an overkill quirk just about everyone wanted a piece of. Yeah I was dealt some pretty shitty cards, now you'll see how I play them.Uploads depend on my schedule but I'll try weekly also error will be made cuz I dotn proof read, when I've finished I'll go over it 😅 The story follows Izuku but if there's a change in povs there will be a indication ⚠️ warning swearing and violence⚠️
