Add is now the demon of paradox, stuck in endless contradictions of Time and Space. | |||
Perhaps it was a fatal side effect of his aimless traveling between parallel universes, but Add feels that his body has reached its limit. | |||
Before his body completely disintegrates, he attempts one final forbidden experiment, which disintegrates him to molecular levels then tie his very being to the essence of Time and Space. | |||
The only thing that remains is his obsessive desire to return to the only past in which he felt happiness. | |||

“어머니… 크흐흐… 어떤 모습이 되더라도 상관 없어. 그 때로 돌아갈 수만 있다면…” | |||
끝없는 모순에 얽매여 시공간을 헤매는 패러독스의 악마. | |||
과학의 한계를 초월한 초상능력으로 무참히 시공간을 붕괴시키는 전직. | |||
완벽한 과거로의 시간여행이 불가능하다는 사실에 절망하며 광기에 사로잡힌 애드는 목적을 잃은 채 시공간을 헤매며 무작위적인 파괴행위만을 반복한다. | |||
무리한 시간 여행의 부작용이었을까, 육체의 한계가 얼마 남지 않았음을 직감하게 된 애드. 시공의 독성에 침식당해 흩어지는 자아를 붙잡으며 마지막 염원을 담아 금단의 연구를 스스로에게 시도한다. | |||
‘다시… 시간의 윤회 속으로…’ | |||
자신의 존재 자체를 분자 단위로 쪼개 물리적인 한계를 넘어 시공간에 고정한다는 상식 밖의 실험. 그 대가로 애드는 시간의 흐름에서 분리된 사념체가 되어, 무한히 시공을 떠돌게 된다. | |||
오로지 행복했던 과거로 돌아가겠다는 일념만을 가진 채로. | |||

Add is the demon of paradox, stuck in endless contradictions of Time and Space. He can destroy time and space with his paranormal powers that far exceeds the power of technology and science. | Add is the demon of paradox, stuck in endless contradictions of Time and Space.

Completing the following advancement quest or using the Item Mall item: '''Mad Paradox's Shattered Flask''' [[File:Job Change - {{PAGENAME}}.png|30px]] will change your job to '''{{PAGENAME}}'''. | |||

| <!-- [Quest 1 Description] -->One day, as he aimlessly travels through Time and Space, Add finds powerful El energy resonating through Elrios. When he comes to investigate, Add finds himself in the recently awakened city of Elrianode.<br>Once he finds out where he is, Add concentrates his efforts to investigate the mysterious cave with unique flow of energy. | |||
| <!-- [Quest 2 Description] -->The energy within the cave was interesting, with El energy and henir energy mingling together. To find samples, Add finds himself deeper in the cave where he finds stronger monsters. Their bodies may come in handy for future experiments, so let's make sure not to annihilate them completely. | |||
| <!-- [Quest 3 Description] -->After the battle, Add finds himself at the entrance of the cave again.<br>He hears a voice… and this life signal…<br>Add turns to the cave again to confirm his suspicion, but Glave blocks his way. Glave "warns" him that there's no going back once he enters the cave. Even when Add threatens to physically remove him, Glave just laughs and disappears. In his place, various mutated beings came crawling at him. Let's eliminate these… things that's blocking his way. | |||
| <!-- [Quest 4 Description] -->As he defeats monsters one by one, Add feels his body, worn by constant travel between time and space, slowly tearing apart.<br>He cannot disappear like this. Let's get rid of all the remaining monsters roaming around to create an environment to rest in. | |||
| <!-- [Quest 5 Description] -->Add pulls out a flask with purple liquid and begins to drink out of it. | |||
He didn't need Glave's "warning." He already knew that his body could not withstand endless destruction through Time and Space. It was clear that his body has reached its limits with the last battle.<br>He recalls what the mysterious voice said. The most annoying out of them was when it called him a "failure."<br>Add's eyes began to lose focus. When he finally arrived in a past and saw his young happy self, he realized it's impossible to go back to his past. It was, is, an unachievable goal.<br>But the voice, his other self, flaunted it, calling him a failure as if he somehow managed to put that behind him.<br>Is it truly time to accept the fact that going back to his past is an unachievable goal?<br>Does he just follow a destined path of failure, repeating the inevitable?<br>No, there's no such thing as destined failure. Even if he has to destroy natural order, he will arrive at his own past!<br>That moment, Add's body and mind started to disintegrate. | |||
Using all his forbidden power, he barely manages to tie himself to this timeline before he scatters to pieces.<br>He can't say when he will disintegrate. Before that, he must meet with the mysterious figure. | |||
Add headed towards the sanctum. "He" was waiting for his answer at the heart of the sanctum. | |||

*'''Mad Paradox''' | *'''Mad Paradox''' can be interpreted as a "Bad Ending" for [[Diabolic Esper]] in his light novel, [[Time Trouble]]. As '''Mad Paradox''', Add, at all costs, refuses to give up on trying to return to his exact past, becoming a paradoxical entity that obsessively attempts to break something beyond his capabilities; namely fate and destiny. | ||
** | *'''Mad Paradox''' and [[Herrscher]] are the only two playable characters that aren't really alive anymore in the usual sense. In Mad Paradox's case, he has become some sort of temporal enigma existing independently from the natural flow of space and time, his seemingly "physical" body appearing in flux, explaining his younger default appearance. | ||
* | **As he appears in flux, parts of Add's body may appear as breaking or forming in and out of existence, more so in his True Form, as the back-story explains that he is reaching the limit of time travel. | ||
**His younger body is still | **Considering that Add has been wandering across Time and Space, it is possible that he becomes '''Mad Paradox''' in an entirely separate timeline from the one he started off in. | ||
*Add discards his physical body, denying his father's goal, and goes against his mother's wish for him to let go of the past. | |||
*'''Mad Paradox''''s | * As '''Mad Paradox''', Add will appear in 2 forms in the physical world, his younger form and adult form. | ||
**His younger form’s body has seemingly regressed to become the same age as [[Time Tracer]], as he has the same black sclera on his left eye. He is also seen wearing a hood with cat ears, a nod to Time Tracer's design. | |||
***His default in-game model still retains the same size as his previous jobs, despite his younger appearance. Additionally, it does not differ during his True Form. | |||
**His adult form reflects his true age, having black sclera in both eyes and shark-like teeth, similar to [[Diabolic Esper]]. The scar across his left eye also seems to have grown. | |||
*The white shard floating right next to '''Mad Paradox''' in his portrait seems to display [[Grace|his mother]] from one of the alternate timelines. | |||
*Upon advancing to '''Mad Paradox''', Add's personality takes a drastic turn from being loud and manic to become more subdued and nihilistic, as shown in his new voice lines and backstory. | |||
**His facial expression is also changed to a blank stare, with droopy eyes. | |||
*'''Mad Paradox''''s Job Change Item, Mad Paradox's Shattered Flask, might refer to the flask of poison from the [[wikipedia:en:Schrödinger's cat|Schrödinger's cat]] experiment. | |||
*Prior to the Korean update on November 1, 2018, going into Configuration Mode (Awakening) even in his child-like form would cause both of '''Mad Paradox''''s sclera to turn black, just like [[Diabolic Esper]]. | *Prior to the Korean update on November 1, 2018, going into Configuration Mode (Awakening) even in his child-like form would cause both of '''Mad Paradox''''s sclera to turn black, just like [[Diabolic Esper]]. | ||
