My breaths came in labored pants as I leaned my head on the door, sweat dropping from my forehead and hitting the cemented floor. He's not a difficult man; what would he use? Think, think, think. What's so important, so memorable, so fucking important to that prick? "The most important thing to have in this world is power," his words from a few years ago echoed in my head. "With power, you can reshape the very world." Power. If power is the most important thing, then what numbers would— The idea ran into me like a freight train. If this didn't work, I didn't know what I would do.

“That’s common. Weak men hide behind force.” My chest tightened, but I didn’t interrupt. “Real power,” he went on, turning back to me, “is invisible until it’s too late to fight it.” He tapped one screen, isolating a network diagram that branched like veins. “This,” he said, “is influence. Companies, governments, banks. They don’t move independently. They respond to pressure.” He looked at me then, truly looked. “And so do people.” I shifted in the chair, my fingers curling against the armrest. “So how do I do it? How do I find the power?”

KAEL POV There was a time when I believed the world revolved around power. Power was control. Power was influence. Power was the ability to walk into any room and have people listen before I even spoke. For most of my life, I chased that kind of power relentlessly. I built companies. Expanded empires. Closed deals that shaped industries and moved economies. And for years, I believed that was success. That was everything. But standing in the quiet garden behind our home that evening, I understood something it had taken me decades to learn.

Neil retorted sluggishly and immediately heard a muffled chuckle. “And you, as usual, are a slave to your passions.” Do you think she will be very happy when she finds out that you are following her around, just like a shadow? You know, some girls are seriously scared by this. He was not going to react to her funny, childish provocations, he only threw a short indifferent glance when he took another plate. But she continued to talk to herself, starting to get on his nerves: — Habits do not change over the years. They become stronger and are more strongly imprinted on a person.

Kaikuh thought as her system replied. "Investing all your points to awaken your new mind power. Mind point invested, remaining 10 points left. New ability in progress, new ability found. New objective, survive a few minutes without the system. Reward, awaken your new power" "What's all this messages popping up, it's hard to follow up. Wait, did I just hear survive without my ability, no I need to recheck" Kaikuh thought as she saw the message written boldly, "New objective, survive a few minutes without the system"

“Because once you cross that line, you do not get to pretend things can go back to normal.” Dante sat up too, his bare feet hitting the floor. “Normal was an illusion,” he said. “I just did not know it yet.” He stood and walked to the window, pushing the curtain aside.
