(Time)^n is not the formula of Human Activities

In the year 2203, time travel was not only possible but also regulated by a strict government agency known as the Chrono Bureau. Only those with the highest security clearance and specialized training were allowed to travel through time, and even then, it was only for research purposes.

But there was one man who was different. His name was Adam, and he was a rogue time traveler who had acquired his own time machine through dubious means. He had a plan, a plan to change the course of history.

His target was the year 1914, the year that World War I broke out. Adam believed that if he could prevent the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, he could stop the war from happening, saving millions of lives in the process.

Adam had spent months studying the events leading up to the assassination. He had meticulously planned every detail, from the location where he would arrive to the specific moment when he would intervene.

On the day of the assassination, Adam arrived in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in a narrow alleyway. He quickly changed into period-appropriate clothing and made his way to the site of the assassination.

As the Archduke's motorcade passed by, Adam saw the assassin, Gavrilo Princip, approach the car. He knew what he had to do. He stepped forward, pulled out a gun, and shot Princip.

The crowd erupted into chaos as the Archduke's car sped away. Adam felt a sense of satisfaction, believing that he had just altered history for the better.

But as he made his way back to his time machine, he noticed something strange. The world around him was changing. Buildings were disappearing, people were vanishing, and the sky was turning black.

Adam realized too late what he had done. By altering the course of history, he had caused a ripple effect that was destroying everything in its wake. He frantically tried to return to his own time, but it was too late. The time machine malfunctioned, and he was trapped in the vortex of time.

As he hurtled through time and space, Adam realized the error of his ways. He had been so focused on preventing war that he had failed to consider the consequences of his actions. He had disrupted the delicate balance of time and space, and now the entire universe was paying the price.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months as Adam traveled through time. He watched as history unfolded before his eyes, but he was powerless to change anything. He was a mere spectator, watching as the world around him fell apart.

In the end, Adam was lost to time, his fate unknown. But his legacy lived on as a warning to others. Time travel was a dangerous game, and the consequences of altering history could be catastrophic.

The Chrono Bureau launched an investigation into Adam's actions, but they were unable to locate him. His time machine was found abandoned in a remote corner of the universe, its circuitry fried beyond repair.

Years later, a group of rogue time travelers stumbled upon Adam's abandoned time machine. They were curious about what had happened to him and decided to investigate. They discovered that Adam's actions had caused a catastrophic ripple effect that had wiped out entire civilizations across time and space.

The group realized the true danger of time travel and made a solemn vow to use it only for research purposes. They would not make the same mistake that Adam had made, and they would not let history repeat itself.

In the end, Adam's legacy lived on as a cautionary tale. His actions had reminded everyone of the importance of preserving the delicate balance of time and space, and they had instilled
