Being an inventor in Piltover? Hard. Being an inventor from the Undercity that moved to Piltover with magic running through your veins? Harder (Unless you’re really good at keeping secrets, then it’s easier?). Tarren thought chasing his dream of inventing was complicated enough, but life doesn’t make it simple. Between protecting his loved ones from their terrible fate, “peaceful” isn’t exactly on the menu. And soon, the timeline and story that he knows so well won’t turn out exactly the same as he remembered it, and unfortunately, he would notice it too late. --- A/N: I use AI for grammar and sentence structure. I wrote this ever since Arcane s2 finished, and it's really slow to write it as I'm not really familiar with LoL lore, but I really want to write something taking place in the setting, and due to my slowness, a lot of ideas that are present here have been written by some of the authors in this site, I guess people just want to write the same idea for this fanfic, but do still check it out if you're interested, and I do have a specific twist written that I have not seen implemented in a story. it's also incohesive sometimes, like it feels like jumbled up ideas turned to a barely cohesive story, which it is, so sorry for that.
