Thaleus sat cross legged processing information. He had been in this strange mind space for as far as he could tell about 2 months. After being abducted by seemingly to him the strongest human among the planets he had been thrown into what they called a time Invasion. He had no idea if his body was safe or if it was even healthy anymore. He still had Dom with him and he even had one of those decrepit old men speaking in his head as well now.
He sat and thought about that first visit from the man. "I didn't want to intervene, unfortunately I was not the only one who felt your aura tag before you learned how to mask it from the presence of others."
"What do you mean, what's so special about me that you went out of your way to snatch me?" Thaleus was confused and scared.
The old man paused almost as if he was thinking of a good answer. "It's complicated to explain this in a simple enough way that you won't find my reasoning far fetched. Let's just say if I hadn't of stepped in you would have been dead within hours. You were lucky I had reached the academy first. They wouldn't have sent their strongest to get you, but anyone they would have sent would've been out of the military's league to handle. It would have been a massacre."
Thaleus processed this information in his head for the last two months wondering if he would ever get out of this mind space. he looked up at the quest bar.
*Special Quest*
*Exit the Time Invasion Reward Unknown*
*Defeat 1,000 beasts Reward: Unknown*
*Progress 235/1,000*
*Special Quest*
*Average 300 on each score in the retest Reward: Unknown*
Thaleus looked at the last one with bitterness. He could of finished that last damn quest had that old man not swooped him up. He punched the floor causing cracks to spiderweb out from where his hand made contact. At least he'd gotten a lot stronger since he'd been transferred to this hell hole.
Currently Thaleus was in a make shift safe shelter that he had made himself. The home was made from thick branches and leaves that he had torn off of trees and bushes. He had awoken in this mind space in the middle of a forest. Luckily he wasn't attacked off the bat but he knew that he would have to survive, those were the words of the old man after all. Didn't mean that he wasn't still irritated about the situation he was forced into.
Thaleus stopped pondering as he heard movement outside. He quietly crawled outside of his shelter and peered through the forest where he heard the noise. He was scanning hoping to catch a glimpse of some stats so that he would know what was there and if it was a known beast that he had already fought before.

Thaleus growled in the back of his throat. "Damn it, there's too many of these stupid monkeys in this jungle. Better than another Ragnor at least " Thaleus shuttered as he thought about his first encounter with a Ragnor since he'd been here "Who cares if this is just a mind space I could've died." Finally he looked back at the beast. "I guess it's time to get this over with"
Thaleus disappeared from his position closing the distance between himself and the beast at terrifying speed. He used time lapse as soon as he was face to face with the monkey so he could do as he pleased. He jumped in the air using blink punch three times between it's ears and as he landed at it's back he used fractured twist kick while using ripple touch as his foot connected with the back of its head. A grin formed on his face, He had grown so much since he had been here. The time for time lapse collapsed and the beast crumpled to the floor dead. "Looks like I don't need these little beauties for these guys anymore." Thaleus twirled a set of twin daggers dangerously around him before they winked out of existence leaving no trace.
