Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAGrxd3QJ7jT
358Please respect copyright.PENANAzqJbz0oCkC
So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.
358Please respect copyright.PENANAW1DjXLAicN
358Please respect copyright.PENANAdNuLw2LiX2
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

Anthony: “I get the gist. I’m glad to hear you got this only a few days ago. If you had this power for months didn’t do anything...”
358Please respect copyright.PENANACzRSELYfOy
358Please respect copyright.PENANAheY2WtJAOG
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”

Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”

358Please respect copyright.PENANAqzPKGKsdDK
358Please respect copyright.PENANAn11lgcFAfn
Nao: “It’s not fair that I’m the only one who gets to fight back and be important. It’s time for people like us to crawl out of the hole life through us in.”

Everyone: “Awesome!”
358Please respect copyright.PENANA9HIc4Czbnx

Anthony: “Few things bring down a man more than a broken heart.”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAL1gcEzrs4d

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAkYLLKOBP7m
358Please respect copyright.PENANAGsElfpCUBi
Anthony: “Make her fall in love and break her heart. Don’t you have the perfect ability for it, a chad form to sweep her off her feet?”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAbl2ZxGitJI
358Please respect copyright.PENANArU1zFXgWZo

358Please respect copyright.PENANAp7U2UoJvjN
358Please respect copyright.PENANANVtdTqHSO5
Nao: “I…guess. But what about the King? He has a massive crush on her. If he can’t do it what chance do I have?”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAAy76tswuQu
358Please respect copyright.PENANAak4SfGGTB7
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
358Please respect copyright.PENANA4xf8kV63ZF
358Please respect copyright.PENANAdL0YmGc2UP
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
358Please respect copyright.PENANAafZ2d3ZvJJ
358Please respect copyright.PENANA8KLA3KmaxW
Anthony: “I’m sure you’ll think of something. I rather us get stronger and deal with the King instead of using the bullies against each other.”

Anthony: “Mind reading might come in handy.”
358Please respect copyright.PENANATisgwVbf8t
358Please respect copyright.PENANABH1neAowjq
I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.
358Please respect copyright.PENANA1iCsjMCNRa
358Please respect copyright.PENANA8wjp1CbKYT
Nao: “Still 8 left, I’ll spend the rest on my other stats. Just in case of…problems.”

Pitch black, an all-consuming nothingness.

358Please respect copyright.PENANAOpFr3qXFOa
How am I floating in this void? My eyes are gone yet I can see it coming. My heart has been ripped out but I can still feel it beating. My arms and legs…I can’t feel them.

358Please respect copyright.PENANA755lCuBsgD
Do I even have a body to move? I can do nothing but sit in the deafening silence and wait for the indescribable to come for me. The void starts to move, even though that shouldn’t be possible.
