Max sat cross-legged on the cold stone surface, his eyes closed, breathing slowly as Saheel had taught him.

Saheel stood before Max, gazing at him with a calm expression. "Now, you will enter your subconscious. There, you will meet someone who has been waiting for you for a long time. Prepare yourself..."

Without waiting for permission, Saheel placed two fingers on Max’s forehead.

In an instant, the world around Max spun rapidly, his body feeling weightless before sinking into darkness.

Yet, within that darkness, a dim light appeared, and suddenly, Max found himself standing in the middle of a vast field, shrouded in thick mist.

"You’ve finally come, boy." The deep voice echoed around Max.

From within the mist, a man with long white hair and a flowing robe slowly stepped forward. His sharp gaze was like that of an eagle, and his body radiated a powerful, oppressive aura.

"Mentor..." Max furrowed his brows, his heart trembling. It was his late mentor, the man who had taught him the fun

    As Bassoka opened the door, warm air greeted them. The room inside was surprisingly clean. The wooden floor was neatly swept, antique teak furniture stood quietly in place, and there was the scent of dried leaves mixed with herbal incense still rising from a corner. “My wife used to take care of all this,” Bassoka said softly, then added, “before she passed away. Now I maintain everything myself. But I still clean my daughter’s room every day.” Max scanned the room with his eyes. His gaze stopped at the old bookshelves, a few wooden charms hanging on the walls, a small mirror carved with ancient symbols, and a white piano covered by a white cloth. Bassoka paused in front of a door. He swallowed hard, then slowly opened it. “This is... Aurora.” The room was silent and filled with the scent of dried flowers. The golden light of sunset slipped through thin curtains, casting a soft silhouette over a neatly made wooden bed. Aurora lay still. Her long golden hair spilled across the p

    Location: Max Corp Headquarters, Vesula... The large metallic doors opened with a soft hiss. The distinct scent of a newly furnished room mixed with the faint aroma of expensive cologne. Heavy, measured footsteps entered the room. Zakaria, the CEO of Ordic Corp, stood tall. Even though his psionic aura was being suppressed, its pressure was still noticeable. He scanned the room sharply, then spoke aloud, “Where’s Max?” The executive chair slowly turned, revealing a young man with a sly smile on his lips. Frans sat there, relaxed, his legs crossed as he raised an eyebrow. “Unfortunately, he’s busy,” he said casually. “But don’t worry. You can tell me anything important.” Frans leaned forward slightly and added mockingly, “Or... should I stand to greet the great CEO of Ordic Corp who’s kind enough to visit his rival’s office? Welcome, Zakaria.” Zakaria’s face stiffened. He didn’t sit down. The air around him stirred faintly, showing his restrained impatience. “I’m not here for

    Location: VVIP Bar, Thirtieth Floor, Vesula The soft glow from the crystal chandelier reflected off the surfaces of expensive wine glasses. Three men sat around a round table made of zebrano wood. The faint scent of fine tobacco blended with the aroma of aged alcohol. One of them, an elderly man with a neatly trimmed white beard reaching his chest, stared at a holo-projected screen showing the viral video — an old man bowing at Max's feet, and Max calmly helping him up before guiding him into Max Corp. "He mentioned the cult," the bearded man murmured, his voice deep and calm. He wore a black formal suit with a small trident-shaped emblem on the collar. "So what?" asked the second man, younger, dressed in a dark purple suit and crocodile leather shoes. "Max is just a hero loved by the people. Even in Vesula, they welcomed him like an icon." "He wouldn't know anything about the Demonic Cult, and that old man might have been talking about a different cult," he added. The third ma

    Zakaria stood in the center of the room, his breath heavy. His psionic aura slowly filled the air, creating a faint vibration all around. The metal walls began to shimmer and rattle softly, as if responding to his anger. Zau stepped back, his back hitting the door. “Sir, I—” “Shut up!" Zakaria said quietly, his voice sharp as a blade. He raised his hand slightly. The air around Zau suddenly thickened, as if compressed. Zau was lifted slightly off the floor, his body stiffening. His eyes widened. He tried to speak, but his mouth wouldn’t move. Zakaria stared at him coldly. “You were the only one assigned to guard the biological access to the chamber. You know who can get in. And now, our two most valuable assets just defected?” His voice remained calm, but the pressure in the air intensified. Zakaria clenched his jaw. “Contact Max Corp immediately,” he ordered through gritted teeth. “Ask what they want. I want those two Grandmasters back. Now.” Zau nodded quickly, then rushed ou

    Location: Ordic Corp Central Tower, Vesula Time: 2:12 PM The chandelier lights hanging from the executive office ceiling shimmered gently above a sleek black marble table. The electronic curtains were drawn halfway, letting in the fading sunlight that sliced through the room like the shadow of a bayonet. Zakaria sat comfortably on his sofa, still wearing a loose linen robe, his arm resting around the shoulder of his boyfriend, who chuckled quietly while tapping on a holographic data tablet. Someone knocked on the door. Zakaria sighed lazily. “That must be Zau. Wait outside for a moment,” he said softly to his partner, then stood and put on his thin black blazer. His boyfriend gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving. Zakaria took a sip of his drink and then motioned for Zau to come in. The door opened. Zau entered stiffly, carrying a nervous tension that was hard to miss. His left hand trembled, though he tried to hide it. Zakaria leaned back into his chair. “What i

    Max didn’t say a word. He simply stared at the cold bodies on the floor, as if trying to read a hidden message behind their deaths. Frans stood by the window, scanning the perimeter through the reflection on the glass. “There were no signs of struggle, no sound. Not even enough time to scream.” He turned. “They were killed psionically.” Frans rubbed his jaw. "It’s not just a killing. It’s a message telling us to stop this expansion.” Max slowly walked to the center of the room and knelt beside one of the bodies. He touched the victim’s crown with his index finger, then closed his eyes. Silence filled the room. Zoza gave a signal to the Vanta guards. “Secure the building. Set up a patrol perimeter within a two-kilometer radius. Full lockdown. No one gets in or out without clearance.” The Vanta moved without a word. Max walked to the large window on the side of the room. Outside, the city of Vesula was still alive. Cars passed by. Ad drones flew across the skyline. The world
