[ WP ] Following the invention of time travel , justice is very different . Offenders are now sentenced to return to the past and prevent themselves from breaking the law . You , however , are incorrigible ...

Time-Travel changed everything, the paradoxes people had long since theorised about never came true. I never bothered learning why, it did n't matter. All that mattered to me was the rules, and more importantly how to break them. Time-Travel created new rules, new laws. History was meant to be immutable, but that's different now. Criminals have the chance to recant their crimes before even committing them, and many take that risk. Their only punishment is to prevent themselves committing the crime in the first place, it used to be called a bootstrap paradox nowadays we just call it `` abjure'', literally renouncing your criminal ways by preventing them from happening in the first place. 
 
 Not me though. I always planned to go back, Time Travel was restrictive only allowed to certain people... and criminals. My younger self was n't a criminal mastermind yet, he did n't know what he wanted just that he wanted something more. He wanted to be known, he wanted to be notorious but it's only with my knowledge can he do it, can he steal the most precious of objects in the universe. 
 
 They thought they were the masters of time, the rulers and lords of it. But nobody knows it like I do, I hear the way the drum beats, I see the way the future will unfold and they will all know my name and will repeat it, time and time again because my name is The Master and all shall fear it.
