Chapter 2 takes you to the futuristic city of Academia, 400 AF. This vibrant metropolis is a stark contrast to the ruins you've just left. Your main objective here is to gather information about the temporal anomalies and find a way to reach the next time period. Academia is bustling with NPCs, and many of them offer side quests or valuable information. Take your time to explore the various districts, as there are numerous treasure spheres and hidden items. You'll need to navigate through the city's complex layout, often using elevated walkways and teleporters. The enemies in Academia are more technologically advanced, so adjust your Paradigms accordingly. This chapter also introduces more complex 'Temporal Rifts' and 'Paradox Anomalies' that require careful thought to resolve. The narrative deepens here, with more revelations about the timeline and the nature of Chaos. Be prepared for a significant plot twist towards the end of the chapter.
