Days turned into weeks, and Sung's struggle with mana control persisted. He dedicated himself to the training, pushing his limits in an attempt to grasp the elusive power that seemed to elude him. Meanwhile, Sean continued to flourish, his mana proficiency growing with each passing day.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Sung found himself alone in the training grounds. Frustration consumed him, and he couldn't shake the feeling of being left behind. In a fit of desperation, he raised his hands to the sky and shouted, "Why? Why can't I tap into this power?"
His voice echoed through the empty expanse, carrying his anguish into the night. Suddenly, a faint whisper seemed to answer his plea, a voice he had never heard before.
"Sung Dubland, your determination has been noted. Do you seek the strength to overcome your limitations?"
Sung's eyes widened in disbelief, searching for the source of the mysterious voice. "Who's there? What do you mean?"
Silence followed, leaving Sung to wonder if he had imagined it all. But then, a surge of energy coursed through his body once more, reminiscent of the lightning strike that had changed his fate. It pulsed within him, urging him to answer.
"Yes! I seek the strength to overcome my limitations," Sung replied with newfound resolve.
In that instant, a holographic interface materialized before him, floating in the air. It displayed various menus, statistics, and a mission log. Sung's eyes widened as he realized he had gained a system-like ability
The interface introduced itself as the "Velocity King System," a mysterious and powerful tool that would aid him on his journey. It provided quests, abilities, and a leveling system, all designed to propel him to greatness.
Sung marveled at the possibilities laid before him, his mind racing with newfound purpose. With this system, he could bridge the gap between his meager mana and the strength of his companions. He could become a force to be reckoned with, even without the traditional means of wielding magic.
With a newfound determination burning in his eyes, Sung delved into the intricacies of the Velocity King System. He accepted quests, gaining experience and unlocking new abilities. It was a path he would walk alone, unaware that Sean's own mana reserves hid an even greater secret.
