Aventine Tidea was born with a gift. 

It was the gift of [Absolute Awareness], the ability to sense anything and everything with unimaginable detail.

However, Earth seemed to lack the power to fuel his gift. He could only activate [Absolute Awareness] for half a second and with a cooldown period of one year. Nevertheless, Aventine did not find this odd. Instead, he followed his instincts.

The [Gate].

Something he had sensed when he was a child. A one-way portal to another world.

Forcefully reading into its intricate webbing expended too much energy for what it was worth.


This was something I figured out in this battle with Kuvie, Nievelt, Roa, and others.


After learning of Kuvie's other identity without [Absolute Awareness] prying it from the invisible tangled strings of <Fate>, everything related to this identity became much easier to unravel.


It was no wonder that I couldn't exactly extract all of her information from the get-go.


Much of it was concealed—and not just by her Secrecy Magic, but also because it was hidden in the knots and tangles of <Fate>.


Although I couldn't read into the <Law of Fate> directly, using Daimyuon's sparse knowledge of other <Laws>, my instincts told me that any fate-defying attempts would always require tremendous sacrifice and disproportionate effort.


Only something like my [Absolute Awareness] could effectively parse through the web of <Fate> with such 'ease.'
