nLadies and gentlemen, we have received crucial information that the path Anon was traversing has been struck by an earthquake, causing a sudden trench to form in the heart of the forest. Whether this is true or another ploy orchestrated by the nobles against Anon remains uncertain,” Seraphina addressed the gathering, her voice carrying an air of anticipation.
n“Personally, I believe he can overcome it. Anon possesses an overwhelming amount of power. The real challenge lies in what awaits him beyond the forest’s core,” Landon chimed in confidently, his eyes fixed on the distant horizon.
nAnon, his gaze fixed on the approaching trench, couldn’t help but feel a surge of amusement. “A sudden trench, huh? What a load of nonsense. Do they think I’m a fool? Well, they’re in for a surprise,” he thought to himself, a small smirk playing on his lips. With determination burning in his eyes, he increased his speed, causing the ground beneath him to shatter with every step.
nHoles formed along his path, and the trees surrounding him turned to cinders as flames intensified with his swiftness. The fire, an extension of his own power, grew fiercer, licking at the edges of his being. Anon was a force to be reckoned with, and nothing would stand in his way.
n“Once, a wise man said, ‘Embrace the leap with audacity, defying gravity and leaving all who dare follow you grasping at the air.’ That wise man happened to be me,” Anon declared boldly, his voice carrying over the roar of destruction. As he reached the edge of the trench, he coiled his legs, preparing for the monumental leap that lay before him.
n“Let’s do this, baby!” Anon shouted, his voice filled with a mixture of determination and exhilaration. With a burst of power, he unleashed the full force of his legs, propelling himself high into the air. Time seemed to slow down as he soared above the gaping trench, defying gravity itself.
nBoom
nThe ground trembled as Anon landed on the other side of the trench, the impact echoing through the surrounding landscape. Large, circular cracks radiated outward from the point of impact, testament to the sheer force behind his landing. He had cleared the trench effortlessly, leaving his onlookers awestruck.
n“Seraphina, look! Anon has cleared the trench. Will he make it to the other side?” Landon’s voice held a mix of excitement and disbelief as he watched Anon’s feat.
nBefore Seraphina could respond, Anon’s feet touched the ground, his landing exuding strength and confidence. He had answered Landon’s question in a single act, displaying his indomitable spirit.
nBoom
nThe sound reverberated through the air, a thunderous reminder of Anon’s presence. The ground beneath him quivered, struggling to contain the raw power that coursed through his veins. Seraphina couldn’t help but be amazed. “That was utterly astonishing! Anon has once again demonstrated his indomitable spirit, refusing to be hindered by any obstacle,” she marveled, her voice filled with admiration.
nIn Luna’s room, she watched Anon’s leap across the trench with a mix of concern and fascination. “You may win this race, Anon, but if you continue to exploit the powers of overcharge, you will sacrifice your life,” Luna cautioned, her voice tinged with worry. She had seen the toll it took on him, the unbearable pain that awaited him after the surge of power subsided.
n“You don’t even comprehend the true nature of overcharge,” she continued, her tone filled with a mix of urgency and caution. 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝐞𝐥.
nOvercharge is an evil thing.
nOvercharge is an extraordinary ability that pushes the limits of human potential, granting immense power at a great cost. When triggered, the individual’s body undergoes a remarkable transformation, forcibly unlocking dormant mana-absorbing pores. This results in an overwhelming surge of mana, fueling the generation of unparalleled energy.
nDuring the overcharge state, the user experiences a staggering 750% amplification of their abilities, surpassing the boundaries of their mortal form. However, this immense power comes at a grave price. The intensified energy coursing through the user’s system causes their own tissues to ignite, leading to a slow but intense burning process. Remarkably, the overcharge somehow shields the user from immediate pain, concealing the true extent of their agony until the state concludes.
nOnce the overcharge state ends, the suppressed burden of pain is unleashed upon the user in an avalanche of suffering. The sheer intensity of this anguish surpasses anything they have ever encountered before, subjecting them to an excruciating ordeal. Successfully enduring this torment leaves the individual significantly debilitated, their body pushed to its very limits. However, failing to withstand the overwhelming suffering will inevitably lead to death, as the strain becomes too much for their mortal form to bear.
nOvercharge can be likened to a machine pushed beyond its limits. Just as a mechanical device ceases to function when forced to work excessively, the human body faces its breaking point when pushed to such extremes. The concept of overcharge exemplifies the delicate balance between extraordinary power and the fragility of the human vessel.
nAs Luna was thinking about this suddenly a sound came from her background.
nWoof
nSuddenly, a dog’s bark resonated in front of Luna’s room.
n“Hmm…?” Luna turned in confusion, her attention drawn to the unexpected sound.
nWoof A majestic white dog materialized from a swirling mist, standing before Luna’s room.
n“Toby? What brings you here?” Luna’s eyes widened in surprise as she rose from her wooden bench, her curiosity piqued.
nToby held a letter delicately in his mouth, a message awaiting Luna’s eager hands.
nTaking the letter, Luna unfolded it with anticipation.
nLuna, it’s your father. I am going to rescue that Anon kid because he saved you back then, and you know our family does not leave any debts unpaid. If he survives today after using overcharge, he will become your future husband. Come and assist me.
nLuna’s face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and excitement as she read the final words of the letter.
n“H-Husband? Anon?” Luna’s mind spun with wild thoughts and vivid dreams of the future.
nWoof Toby barked, interrupting her daydreams.
n“Y-Yes, I’m listening. W-Well, I must save him, for he is my… Future h-h-husband. Ahhh, how embarassing. I will have to refer to him as such for the rest of my life,” Luna mumbled, her cheeks reddening further.
nWoof Toby barked again, as if urging her to action.
n“Yes, let’s go,” Luna declared, a determined glint in her eyes. She mounted the dog’s back, and with astonishing speed, they bolted through the academy’s exit gates.
