Chapter 511 - 511: Boiling Point
( Leo's POV )
Leo was completely unaware of the ongoing outrage on the global forums, as after earning the title of 'master,' he became absorbed in testing his new abilities.
He wasn't fully accustomed to his transformed body yet, and the sudden increase in strength, speed, and agility took him by surprise.
The difference in his stats was so immense that, for a brief moment, it felt as though the gravity of the world had lessened, making everything around him feel lighter and more manageable.
As Leo moved, every step felt unnaturally effortless, as if the weight of his own body had diminished.
His muscles, once accustomed to the strain of combat, now responded with flawless precision, like a finely tuned instrument.
He could feel the raw power coursing through his veins unlike ever before, and it was an amazing sensation to have, as it made him feel invincible, almost like the world was at his feet.
His senses also felt sharper—colors more vibrant, sounds more distinct, and his awareness of his surroundings more acute. It was as if the world had slowed down just enough for him to process every detail in real-time.
Yet, with this newfound power came a strange sense of detachment. The body he once knew intimately now felt foreign, almost alien. Every action, while more precise and controlled, lacked the instinctive flow he had relied on for so long.
"It'll take me a few days to get accustomed to this body…" Leo muttered, realizing that while the potential of his new form was immense, he still lacked precise control over it, and though it sounded pessimistic, Leo knew this feeling wasn't without cause.
His doubt was soon confirmed when he picked up a dagger and hurled it at the manor's wall with all his strength, as instead of merely embedding itself into the stone like it would have at his previous peak strength, the dagger shot straight through, shattering the wall and leaving a gaping hole on the other side!
This level of change in his strength was definitely not small, and he needed time to get used to it.
********
As usual, after his training time was over, for the last hour of his gaming time, Leo shifted his focus to The Uprising and his future plans.
Opening the chat box, he scanned through the daily report from ChaosBringer as was his routine, and once finished, he promptly replied, issuing new instructions on the specific areas he wanted ChaosBringer to prioritize moving forward.
As usual, ChaosBringer promptly responded with a thumbs-up emoji, almost as if he had been waiting in anticipation for Leo's next set of instructions. But this time, it wasn't just a simple thumbs-up as ChaosBringer followed it up with an unexpected question of "Can we talk?"
Leo paused for a moment feeling perplexed, as ChaosBringer rarely asked for direct conversations, preferring to keep things strictly business.
Hence, sensing that this might be something important, Leo quickly responded with a "Sure."
At first Leo assumed that ChaosBringer might wish to congratulate him about his ascension to the realm of a master, however, instead of a congratulatory message, ChaosBringer only sent him a link to a post on the Global Forums, and added a line underneath saying "The author of this post lives in sector D. I can end his life if you command it–"
Leo felt goosebumps run all over his spine when he read this text, as although he had killed many individuals within the world of Terra Nova, Leo had never killed a living human in real life.
He was not a gangster, and definitely not a mafia boss, which was why such a dangerous text rattled him.
However, instead of directly replying with a "No-", Leo decided to open the article link first.
The article link was the one written by Critical Thinker, and it was a thorough and well re
The more radical ones thought it was completely true and leaned towards believing in some even wilder conspiracies, while even the neutral ones seemed to believe that there was something fishy going on.
The connection between 'TheBoss' and 'Leo Skyshard' could no longer be written off as a mere coincidence, and sooner or later something had to give.
He had tried his best to conceal the truth from the world for so long, however, things seemed to have reached a boiling point now.
