Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. Two days passed inside Chrona. Timothy apologized to his mother. He took a hit from the King Network and lost the skill that boosted him when his mother smiled, but in return, he was able to make progress in his own emotional development. The young man was badly stunted….
Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. "TIMOTHY EDWARD HIRO! What are you DOING? Get down from there!!"

A tiny but unmistakable figure was climbing the sheer brick wall…
Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. Timothy headed to the Spynet after picking his mom some flowers.

Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. The moment Timothy decided to pass on the power of the Player to Ferral, it changed both their lives forever.

Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. [WELCOME TO THE KING NETWORK.] [YOU HAVE ACTIVATED PLAYER PRIVILEGES.] [WOULD YOU LIKE TO ENABLE THE TUTORIAL COMPANION?] [YES | NO] Timothy stared in shock at the words floating just a few feet in front of his waist, aimed up at his face.

Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Chrona. A little over two weeks had passed in the outside galaxy, but years had passed inside Chrona.

Far-Future Era. Day 20, AJR. Somewhere in the Southwest Milky Way Quadrant. Founder Unarin sat inside the co-pilot’s chair of his personal shuttle, the Founder’s Spear.
