Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8XIQlPK6e
326Please respect copyright.PENANA7iKfLuTU39
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAkaQ1NE3Yre
326Please respect copyright.PENANAE9t1q26zSf
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

326Please respect copyright.PENANAOen7njE49D
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...”
326Please respect copyright.PENANA8jFgmEvLlO
326Please respect copyright.PENANAOTKfWUMaq5
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”
326Please respect copyright.PENANADLvpj7gwtW
326Please respect copyright.PENANA5micIwde3T
Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”

Velo: “Man, some people are just…lucky.”

No, No, No! This is not what I….Arc!

326Please respect copyright.PENANANa5i6z8nvq
326Please respect copyright.PENANAdErtIoxYTM
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!”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHpRPfQNqGB

326Please respect copyright.PENANAynV9Q8jLft
Anthony: “Let’s slow down and refocus. We’ll have plenty of time to think about this over the weekend. For now, let’s plan out Alyson’s downfall.”

Mat: “Oh yeah, almost forgot about that.”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAaesyHnDM2K
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ahn8HOzks

Nao: “Yeah?”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAlxjlitK0fk
326Please respect copyright.PENANA4FldAnjcUi

326Please respect copyright.PENANAR9C8fbpO5m
326Please respect copyright.PENANAI116cpMiYJ
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?”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAn9xaRrdFlb
326Please respect copyright.PENANAIHQZGObnC1

326Please respect copyright.PENANAUky7dQSPZR
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHAPhwUBxp5

326Please respect copyright.PENANArNFQGJ1A9V
326Please respect copyright.PENANAEZfqczEFuH
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?”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAHa4aQFQ0zJ
326Please respect copyright.PENANAWjo2tEKSa3
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
326Please respect copyright.PENANARwVJwN8u7O
326Please respect copyright.PENANA172tqO4hLB
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
326Please respect copyright.PENANA3EICbbQ7lY
326Please respect copyright.PENANA0w3dt2MGAe
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.”
326Please respect copyright.PENANAnLwTX26ycB
326Please respect copyright.PENANAttot9gkseZ
I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.

326Please respect copyright.PENANAs05lirVXZe
Nao: “Still 8 left, I’ll spend the rest on my other stats. Just in case of…problems.”

Pitch black, an all-consuming nothingness.

326Please respect copyright.PENANA99cmMOkkKj
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.
326Please respect copyright.PENANAG8W0SxEyEw
326Please respect copyright.PENANAUgHU57R2Qs
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.
