Single Wish: Rise Of The Omniscient Paragon

Corey realized several things after going through some of the records of the previous... cycles he had experienced.

The first was that he was repeatedly reliving this day after nearly dying in each cycle.

While he was in the throne room, he had gone through some of the records in his Perceptual Nexus of Repository, and when he saw that he had relived this day more than fifteen times without him knowing, he was extremely shocked and stunned.

He had so many questions about everything, and he knew that the one person that could give him the answers he required aside from Nina, was Jeremy.

In all of the records he went through, he saw that Jeremy always seemed aware of what had happened and did not seem to lose his knowledge of the previous... todays.

He had no idea why that was possible since he was 99% certain that Jeremy did not possess any time based abilities. He believed that should have been the first person to notice this oddity before anybody else, that is if any other person would eventually notice the oddity.

And why wouldn't he have such thoughts?

He controlled the void, and it was even more surprising to him that it took him so long to notice the fact that he had been reliving today more than a dozen times.

The only individuals he believed had a chance to notice this oddity were Pamela, the Queen and her children.

Queen Nerith and her children were Immortals, and although he had no idea the full extent of the abilities of an Immortal, he believed that their perception might just be powerful enough to notice the oddity in the world.

After going through his records and seeing the previous today where he saw the corpses of Kiefer, Selene, and Willow. Along with the corpses of Jeremy's companions.

He knew that he had to end the meeting with Queen Nerith. He needed to have a quick conversation with Jeremy in order to understand what was going on.

There were enemies in the royal palace, and these enemies were powerful Tier 6s, and they also had the ability to bypass whatever defenses the Queen and the Royal Family had in the palace.

He needed to get information from the one person who seemed to know what was going, and he needed that information before his people were killed.

One of the reasons why he was treating this matter with urgency was because for there to be such enemies, it meant that there the chances of there being a Tier 7 or more than one Tier 7 was high, and it could lead to a battle between Tier 7s.

"How many times?"

There were other questions Corey could have asked, but he chose to ask this particular question because if something he noticed in the records of the todays he relived.

Jeremy's rate of improvement in the Breathing Technique he taught him was not normal.

Aside from that, he had been using his Void Phoenix senses to perceive space and time around him and also the throne room, and he noticed nothing at first.

But the moment Jeremy entered the throne room, he saw that space and time around the King of Miracles was a mess.

It was like perceiving entangled strings of spatial and temporal runes, nearing causing to react in disbelief back in the throne room.

Seeing how the space and time runes around Jeremy was so broken, distorted, and convoluted, Corey had no idea how Jeremy was still alive and even sane.

He had so many theories and so many questions, but he knew that the one question he should ask is- "How many times?"

And when he saw Jeremy's expression change, he knew that he was right in asking such a question.

"What do you mean?" He asked, attempting to feign ignorance.

"Don't try to play dumb with me. You know as well as I do that we don't have much time. Your friends and my friends are going to die very soon if we don't stop them. Hell, you're also going to die, and if you don't answer my questions, their bloods would be on your hands."

A conflicted expression along with an extremely complicated light flashed in Jeremy's eyes, and for a moment, Corey thought he saw relief in the eyes of the king.

"I guess this is better since I've just found a way to survive against one despite so many todays. Talk less of saving others on time before they die."

Corey frowned in confusion. "What are you talking about?"

Jeremy looked at him with a wry smile. "You asked how many times we've relived today?" He looked down at his sword with a wry smile. "Exactly two hundred and eighty two times (282 times). That's how many times we've relived today."

Corey's pupils shook intensely in disbelief, and he took a step back in shock.

"That's not possible. How could it be so many and I didn't realize until now?"

Jeremy scratched the back of his head. "I'm even more surprised and shocked that you know what's going on. Nobody ever remembers a reoccurring today."

Corey's head snapped at him with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean?"

"Well... It's not the first time this is happening actually. It's a normal thing for me."

Corey raised a brow. "What? I don't understand. Explain."

Jeremy inhaled, and then exhaled deeply before speaking.

"What I'm about to tell you is a secret of mine, and I'm only telling you because I trust you and I believe I need you to get through today."

Corey furrowed his brows, and then he waved his right hand.

The world thrummed as Corey used his Phantom Plague Axe Heart Intent to create a barrier around them.

Jeremy looked at Corey with a baffled and also awe filled expression. He could feel just how dangerous the sharp lights that had suddenly appeared around them were.

He was about to ask, but Corey spoke before he could.

"An extra measure to make sure that your secret is not heard by others."

Jeremy's eyes flashed with realization, and then gratitude.

"Thank you."

Corey nodded, and then he gestured for him to continue.

"I'm sure you must have realized that I'm not as talented as you, or Pamela, or even my companions despite having the Hero Class of Earth."

Corey nodded since that was the case, and it was one of the greatest mysteries to him.

"Well, the truth is that my trump card and greatest ability is that whenever I die. I go back in time to either the day I died, the day before I died, or a significant day before I died."

"I can die, but I cannot truly die... That is both my blessing and my curse."
