Story theme: This film tells a tragic cycle of desire, cost, and self-reconciliation. (Divided into 9 parts - dual narrative) Beginning: The protagonist embarks on a journey to seek out the strong and obtains an item from a mysterious merchant that grants him immense power.
Part 1: The protagonist uses an artifact to manipulate time; however, the price of this power is permanent, irreversible physical mutation.

Part 2: The protagonist accepts the price and immerses himself in the unparalleled achievement brought by this power.

Part 3: He indulges in a berserk mode, reveling in and exhausting his resources, enjoying the supreme power.

Part 4: After the revelry, a profound emptiness and longing for his former self began to gnaw at his heart. He started to desperately miss his past self and used a sci-fi "dream phonograph" to infiltrate a dream world capable of altering reality—attempting to reverse the past, but ultimately failing.

Part 5-A: Using all his energy, he desperately tried to travel through time back to the past, attempting to "turn the tide," but ultimately failed again.
Part 5-B (Mirror Image): The protagonist's past self activated mutated energy. The item detected the intrusion and was forced to activate its defense mode, self-destructing to send the protagonist back to the present.

Part 5-C (Back to Reality): Just as despair set in, the "past self" appeared before him, having traveled through time. After a conversation, they both found peace.

Ending: The cycle of karma continues. The businessman (ODR) witnessed the entire incident in the movie theater where he once was.
