'What the hell is going on?'
I glanced around. The faint light filtering from above, and the towering silhouette of the factory ahead.
Everything…
It was exactly as it had been at the very beginning.
"Some locals call this place the Dead Forge. They say it still hums at night... like the machinery's running underground, even though there's no power feeding into it. And, uh…" Jamie gave a nervous laugh, "Some of the old staff swear that during the shutdown, the higher-ups were running some kind of 'experimental refining process.' Something that had nothing to do with steel."
Even the words that Jamie was saying were the exact same as before.
'Did I travel back in time? A loop?'
This wasn't the first time I'd gone through something like this. So, after the initial wave of confusion passed, I managed to steady myself and regain my composure.
'...Can this be a loop like the Hourglass Gate?'
