First Win

After reaching Level 4, Mind Awakeners had two options.

Become a Telekinetic—pursue the path of controlling the world through mind.

Become a Telepath—pursue the path of hypnosis, telepathy and illusion.

Varian fought mental awakeners before. But none of them bothered to use illusion on him.

Perhaps because they underestimated him or the users simply weren't skilled enough.

But Nalp was different.

Standing in the middle of a lush forest, Varian found his senses almost failed him.

Thankfully, his body path was level 5 compared to Nalp's level 4 Telepath path.

Varian was was able to sense the reality clouded by the illusion.

In the forest, the leaves on the trees in front of him rustled.

But that was all.

By the time Varian reacted, it was already too late.

Nalp appeared with his fist a second away from striking Varian.

Any normal level 5 body awakener would've lost.

Not Varian.
