A hushed conversation caught my attention.
Somewhere in the darkness of the truck, beyond the faceless figures packed tightly together, a man and a woman whispered urgently.
I couldn't make out everything, but one word stood out.
"Master Awakened."
My breath hitched slightly.
I glanced at Beth, and from the way her eyes sharpened, I knew she had heard it too.
Master Awakened.
The very name carried weight, both in fear and admiration.
In the battlefield they are like untouchable titans.
If Awakened were already powerful, then Master Awakened were something beyond that, an apex that only a few had ever reached.
They weren't just strong.
They were monsters.
No one knew exactly what made someone ascend to that level, only that once they did, they became something entirely different.
The strength gap between a normal Awakened and a Master Awakened wasn't just a gap, it was an abyss.
They were faster, stronger, deadlier.
And worst of all?
