You've reached the point where time is no longer linear, my friends. The fabric of space-time is now a pixelated mess, and the rules are simple: Chapter 8: Paradoxical Surplus will explain why.
But for now, you need to understand the fundamental concept of Pixelated Time Dilation. It's simple: the closer you get to the Pixelated Core, the more time slows down. And by 'Pixelated Core' we mean the massive, glowing red pixel in the center of the time vortex.
So, you have two options: either Chapter 9: Pixelated Pulse and start jumping between seconds, or Chapter 10: Paradoxical Pitfalls and learn how not to get caught in the time loops.
Or, you know, just Chapter 6: Pixelated Panic and try to find a way back to the linear timeline. We won't judge you.
