Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAE2bsL9EgVY
289Please respect copyright.PENANAJJdw8b2ipl
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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANANFDAjMaTFm
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuY1Hg9v5G5
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

289Please respect copyright.PENANA5obWFB7Evn
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...”
289Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mggq9aAUu
289Please respect copyright.PENANAM2p1B2Ro4t
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.”

289Please respect copyright.PENANAIFSxtAKXGL
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMDuYRHMqtg
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.”

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAC5AbimaUGc
289Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOhS5YOY8

289Please respect copyright.PENANA1u7RLblF4K
289Please respect copyright.PENANAEYW6P50TpP

289Please respect copyright.PENANA0AWZR95LoB
289Please respect copyright.PENANAMGnOVlGYAK
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?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAArSaDNNFRU
289Please respect copyright.PENANAnYYoT2VQA5
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANADGR4FynStA
289Please respect copyright.PENANAXHpz4tmcPr
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAedUIcLKGDq
289Please respect copyright.PENANARpdErKyGUO
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.”
289Please respect copyright.PENANAPYx3vXOnNX
289Please respect copyright.PENANAj8p5P8zDSP
I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.

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.
289Please respect copyright.PENANARlizPPBUox

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.
