Five years ago, supernatural abilities awakened across the globe, and mutated beasts descended upon Blue Star, placing all humanity in mortal danger.
As the world’s first SSS-Rank ability user, Li Xiao stepped forward to stop the tide of mutated beasts from invading human cities.
However, during an attack on a city by mutated beasts, he was framed, causing heavy civilian casualties. He was condemned and cursed by everyone, with some even suggesting that supernatural abilities be banned and that he be locked up under strict guard in a prison for ability users.
Li Xiao laughed.
You turned a blind eye to the countless times I drove back the beasts surrounding your cities, yet one mistake was enough for everyone to point the finger at me.
Fine. From now on, I’m leaving the Ability Association, and I’ll have nothing more to do with mutated beasts!
After that day, Li Xiao cast everything aside and began enjoying life.
At first, no one took him seriously.
“We don’t need an arrogant ability user like you to protect us!”
“Hmph! Even without Li Xiao, we can suppress the beast tide just fine!”
But strangely, after that day, the insults surrounding Li Xiao grew fewer and fewer, while everyone suddenly changed their attitude.
“Why? It was only a small-scale attack by mutated beasts, so why is the pressure we’re facing ten times greater than before?”
“Why? It was only an ordinary evacuation of civilians, so why have our casualties become ten times higher than before?”
Everyone realized that ever since they lost Li Xiao, everything had become countless times more serious.
Until one day, mutated beasts rampaged across the globe, every city stood on the brink of disaster, and countless people wept and begged.
“No! We can’t lose Li Xiao!”
“Li Xiao! Please come back. We really know we were wrong.”
Li Xiao threw his head back and laughed. “You don’t know you were wrong. You know you’re afraid now!”
