(A / N : The appearance of the MC and the other MC will be told in the next chapters. But well, the appearance of the first MC is the fan-fic cover, so if you're curious, just look at the cover.)

''Reporting. I'm so bored....'' I grumbled sitting on my throne.
''Temporis-sama, timeline number 212,412.35° has been fixed and adjusted.''
Hearing a thin female voice, I lowered my head and saw a small being in front of me. His body is rounded, he has short legs and long little arms that trail behind him when he walks. And his face consists of simple marks that resemble wide eyes and a nose. And he communicated with me telepathically, as he has no mouth.
This little being is a Tickler. A creature I created to help me keep time working properly. And he's not the only one, there are trillions and trillions of Ticklers, their task is to travel between the various worlds of the multiverse to correct and fix temporal errors, whether in the past, present or future. Each Tickler has a specific color depending on the function it does.
And if there's a problem they can't solve, they ask for my help, and that's my only job. Fix and maintain.
Again and again.
''Responding. Good job, continue to monitor.'' I answered the little Tickler, who quickly disappeared in front of me.
Well, since I'm bored, I'll just talk to myself.
My name is Temporis, a name given by my dear and irritating father, Unum, the creator. I, along with my three sisters, were born from pieces of his body, and each one of us was born with a power different from each other, and we are different from the father, who can do everything.
And together with the father, we created and made the multiverse grow. With our combined powers, after several experimentations, we found that we were dependent on each other. If one of us died, the other would also die, because the four of us are the balance, and without one the others also fall.
The first of us to be named is Vita, and as the name says, she is life. Every living being came from her, and because of that, she can be considered the mother of all live beings in the Multiverse.
The second to be named was Mors. Mors is death itself, and the end of every cycle, she is the complete opposite of Vita, and that is why they are always fighting when they meet.
The third to be named was me, Temporis. And I am time and destiny, and unfortunately, of the four of us, my job is the most tiring and tedious.
The fourth of us to be named was Locus. Locus is space, she is the one who limits everything, not even infinity escapes her clutches. We rarely see Locus as she is always in a different location, looking for something to have fun.
I'm basically always staying in my realm, inside my tower, The Tower of Forgotten Time. Inside this tower, the whole story is stored, every piece of the entire multiverse, the story of every universe, every planet, every city, and every person. Kind of contradictory name, right?
And this is also where the river of time is, the river that I created so that the past, present, and future could exist. As long as the river flows, the future exists, and as long as the future exists, the past and present also exist.
The tower is huge, on the outside it looks like a giant gleaming golden antique clock, and it wanders around my realm. Inside the tower is full of floors, and on each floor, there are endless shelves with different books, some are big, some are small, each of the books has a different story, and practically the entire tower is filled with Ticklers at work. And on the top floor, where the biggest clock is, that's where my throne is, and where I stay...all the time.
Oh, and Ticklers aren't the only temporal creatures. Outside the tower, in my realm and even in parts of the multiverse, there are countless beings that have some control over time, and of course I created them.
And for a long time, I Temporis, I've been completely bored.
I wanted something to happen, something different, something interesting. I may be time and destiny, but I don't know everything. Quite the contrary, I barely know half of the temporal and fate information in the books present in my tower. The books are a physical and spiritual representation of my power, it's basically the chemicals functions that a mortal human body does, the human doesn't know how to control and how to do it, his body just does.
And it's the same with me and my sisters. That's why I created the Ticklers, they are like my personal doctors, they find problems and solve them. And almost always they do, only when the problem is too big, like some nut trying to destroy an entire universal timeline, that I intervene.
I've tried to absorb information before creating the Ticklers, at first it was satisfactory, but after billions of years just absorbing information, it made me very bored, even Mors visited me thinking I had died of boredom and came to get me.
And this is basically my life, the life of Temporis, the mistress of time and destiny. Extravagant title for such a lazy being, isn't it?
In truth no! My job as I said is the hardest and most boring, my sisters basically hardly need to work! And Mors did like me, created helpers to help her, but unlike her, I can't leave because if something happens, everything will collapse!
Not to mention that absolutely everything has a little of my power as a base, nothing exists without time! Even a stone has a time and destiny!
My life is completely boring! Even the last visit I received was over three hundred million years ago, and they don't visit me much, because this place has nothing but books!
''Temporis-sama! Temporis-sama!'' Stopping talking to myself, I see a little red Tickler running towards me and calling me with urgency in his voice.
''Questioning. What is it?'' I asked lazily. It's probably just a mistake, these little guys love doing drama for nothing.
''We have a serious problem, Temporis-sama! Something that doesn't exist in any timeline, and not even in any destiny happened!''
Hearing Tickler's report, I rose from my throne in surprise ''Questioning! Are you sure about that? This has never happened before, all fate and time is premeditated, it's impossible for something like this to happen in the first place!'' I asked with plenty of urgency in my voice.
Something happened that doesn't exist in any timeline or destiny, that is, it's out of my power. This is dangerous, perhaps the greatest danger I've ever faced, an anomaly like that can destroy the entire balance I've built with my sisters and thus destroying everything that exists in the multiverse. Because as I said, if one falls, the others also fall together.
''Yes Temporis-sama! I'm sure!''
''Command! Quickly show me this anomaly!''
Scared because of my urgency, the little red Tickler quickly disappeared ''Yes, Temporis-sama!''
And a few seconds later, he appeared again with a book in hand and floated in front of me.
''Here it is!''
Taking the book from Tickler's hands, I saw the title of the book and read it.
''Yuki Akiyama....'' Opening the book, I quickly started reading the person's story.
Reading super fast, I got to the part where she died. But the story doesn't end with death, that's always been the case. The problem... is that after the chapter about her death, the rest is of the pages are in blank!
''Surprised! This is impossible! Every destiny and time is written in its proper books! How can it be blank?!''
Seeing the danger of the situation, I didn't want to waste any more time. I closed the book and quickly ordered.
''Command! Go inform the Time-Keepers and bring this girl here! Luckily as she is just an ordinary human, I don't need to move, but this matter is still extremely urgent! Put all the guardians behind her, even if she's in Mors realm! Even if you have to contact Chrono-masters, you must find her!''
''As you wish, Temporis-sama!'' The Tickler disappeared in front of me, and after a while the tower started to get more agitated as everyone started working to find this girl.
I sat down on the throne again and quickly began to think of a solution.
It's impossible for me to know where she is, as she is no longer within the reach of my power, I could ask Locus for help, but I don't know where she is. And Dad....well, he's gone as well as usual.
Perhaps Mors might know, after all, the girl is dead. I just need to ask for the girl's records. But it will take time for me to convince that cranky and annoying girl, she never listens to anyone but our father...
I guess I can only wait and hope the Time-Keepers find her in time before she does something stupid. How ironic, the time itself having to wait, heh.
I might be nervous and a little panicky, but I can't deny that I'm felling excited to find out about this girl, something like this has never happened before!
''Reporting. Looks like finally something interesting happened, not that it's a good thing...'' I said as I started to shake my legs unconsciously, eagerly waiting to see this girl who is an anomaly that could destroy the balance of creation!
