n?As Natasha writhed in agony under Amy’s relentless assault, Mako stumbled forward, his body still trembling from the ordeal he had just experienced.

nHe couldn’t comprehend what was happening—his grandmother, who had somehow saved him from the endless torture that otherwise he would have been subjected to under Natasha’s visions.

nThe visions that Natasha had forced onto Mako put him in situations where he would be subjected to immense pain and suffering either by getting beaten himself or watching someone he cared for die a horrible death.

nThe accumulation of Mako’s worst fears brought him to the point of being completely broken before the scene would change and he would experience all of that all over again in a brand-new scenario.

nDuring each new scenario, Mako didn’t remember what had happened before as he was fully immersed in believing the current scenario to be his reality; However, this didn’t stop all of the negative emotions and pain he was experiencing from being compounded and affecting his real body.

nMako watched as the glowing figure of his late grandmother delivered powerful strikes on Natasha who could only cry out in pain as she wasn’t able to counter at all.

nMako recalled every scenario that Natasha had constructed for him, causing him incredible amounts of pain, suffering, and agony; however, when Natasha had created the scenario, putting him back in his 10-year-old self who hadn’t received any abilities and making him feel powerless as a nightmarish entity slaughtered his only family and sense of comfort right in front of his eyes.

nIt should have the greatest amount of damage to Mako’s mental state and would have reopened old wounds that Mako had very painfully closed after months and months of grieving over her deceased grandmother at the age of 14.

nHowever, something that neither Mako nor Natasha anticipated was that the illusion of Amy Grey that Natasha had constructed inside her own scenario to damage Mako even more would become self-aware, break the illusion altogether, and beat the very person who had brought her into reality.

nMako didn’t understand Natasha’s agenda at all but it was clear to him that she was of no use to him and had only lured him here to make him fall into her trap, but right now he was just focused on how was her grandmother able to do all this?

nMako cried out to his grandmother with pain and confusion as his body was still extremely weak after returning back to reality, but he had to find out the truth.

n“Gran Gran!” Mako cried out, his voice strained and weak from the whole ordeal. “Please tell me, how is this possible? How are you here?”

nAmy paused, her eyes locking with Mako’s, and for a moment, the intense pink glow softened as she looked at her grandson. Slowly, she released Natasha, who gasped for breath, her body bruised and bloodied from the many strikes that she unleashed on her without mercy.

n“Mako, my dear boy,” Amy said, her voice gentle now, the anger dissipating from her figure as she slowly approached him. fr𝐞𝐞𝚠e𝗻ovel.c𝐨m

nShe slowly bent down and now Mako was on his knees sitting face to face with his late grandmother whose gentle smile brought the same warmth to Mako’s heart that he hadn’t felt in a long long time.

n“I promised to always be there for you, my dear boy.” She said as she gently began to hold Mako’s hands.

nMako struggled to find his words, his mind still reeling from the shock of what had transpired. “Gran Gran, I thought… I thought you were…”

n“I’m here, Mako. I’m here,” Amy said, wrapping her arms around him in a comforting embrace. “And I always will be.”

nMako had seen small visions of his grandmother before in times when he found himself in a very challenging or tough emotional situation and later he found out this was because a small amount of very high Love aura had been implanted inside of his heart, courtesy of his grandmother, but those visions were quite faint and short-lived with it almost feeling like Mako was daydreaming.

n“I am so proud of the man you have become Mako, my father would have been so proud to see that his life’s work ended up in the hands of someone truly remarkable,” Amy said as she kissed Mako’s forehead.

nHowever, this time, his grandmother was present in front of him physically. He could feel her hands, her loving embrace, and her gentle kiss.

nAs Mako received a loving kiss, he felt his heart become so light as if it was being tugged on a thousand chains and they had finally let go.

nAll the emotional pain and trauma that Mako had just received after being entrapped in Natasha’s visions simply disappeared and as Mako opened his eyes again, feeling completely rejuvenated and refreshed, his grandmother was nowhere to be found.

nThis only added to Mako’s confusion, as ever since he had entered the training room, things hadn’t been making any sense, and he desperately wanted some answers, the first of which he would receive shortly as moments later, his chest began glowing the same pink color before fading away followed by a system notification.

n*Ding!*

nThe Blessing Of Love has fully crystallized inside the user’s body

n“Blessing of love? What is that?” Mako said confused.

nThe pinkish glow in his chest slowly faded away, returning Mako’s body back to normal with multiple more system notifications alerting him of the brand new changes happening inside his body.

nThe soul of Amy Grey has blessed the user with the Blessing Of Love by solidifying a super concentrated amount of Level 8 Love aura inside the user’s heart.

nThe power of the Love Aura has now been crystalized and can now be accessed by the user under a brand new tab labeled “Blessings”

nMako was intrigued to learn more about what a blessing was so he quickly opened his system interface and clicked on the information Icon on the brand-new tab that had just been unlocked.

n(NEW!) Blessings ?

nBlessings are physical portions of one’s soul and aura mixed into one and imbued onto another to grant that person additional boosts, powers, skills, and more. Once a person is strong enough to manifest a blessing inside their body, the blessing will begin to crystalize granting various benefits which are entirely dependent on the soul and ability of the one that had given the blessing.

nBlessings can be categorized into different ranks depending on how strong of a soul and how high of a Level of ability was used to create the blessing. With higher level abilities and strong-willed souls granting many significant boosts

nThe rankings of blessings are categorized in the following order:

nWEAK –> FAIR–> STRONG –> ADEPT –> MASTER –> PERFECT

nMako was amazed after reading the description and things finally decided to make sense as to why her grandmother’s love aura resided inside his heart.

nIn her last moments, Amy Grey had summoned every last ounce of willpower to concentrate her soul and aura into a tiny bubble which passed onto Mako’s heart before finally departing from this world.

nA final gift to her beloved grandson in hopes that he would discover her father’s work and become strong enough one day to be able to manifest her aura within himself and have full access to her level 8 ability.

nMako selected the blessings tab and displayed all the current blessings that Mako had active which ended up only being one.

nBlessings ?

n– Blessing Of Love (Master Tier) ?

nThe blessing Of Love, passed down to the user from Amy Grey grants the user a very minuscule understanding of the Love ability at the user’s current level.

nActive Perks: Amy Grey’s soul approves of the user having full access and control of her aura with their body; however, the system has restricted the user from accessing such a high-level ability as the user’s body isn’t strong enough to bear its force.

nRequirements: In order to fully access and control the Love aura, the user has to reach Level 25

nPassive Perks: Amy Grey’s wish to protect the user has been realized and whenever the user is faced with a strong mental attack, the Love aura will materialize and defend the user with all the strength that it has reserved

nNote: After the passive perk has been used, a significant amount of time and energy is required from the crystalized blessing to regain its strength and be able to be used again with the same efficiency

nMako was left speechless as he read through the detailed description of another amazing thing that he would inherit from his late grandmother as if the system wasn’t already enough.

nHe was now more curious than ever as to who his grandmother really was as this kind of technique wasn’t something well known and yet her grandmother had done it in her final moments not to mention that she had a Level 8 ability which spoke leaps and bounds of her strength.

nMako knew that he had to make a proper investigation of the family history and find out all the secrets that he still didn’t know like he had no clue that her grandmother was actually the strongest person in the entirety of Emerald City and now that he thought about it, he didn’t know much about his mother or father either.

nIf his grandmother had hidden things from him for unknown reasons, then it must mean that they must also be very important people considering how little his grandmother ever spoke about them.

nMako was lost in his thoughts when suddenly multiple more system notifications brought him back to reality.

n*DING!*
