Empowered by Imagination

As the world underwent a mysterious revival of spiritual energy, monsters roamed freely, and humans began awakening to new abilities.

One day, Ethan Reed went out to buy groceries, only to find himself face-to-face with a terrifying beast. Just when he thought his life was about to end in a brutal attack, something unexpected happened. He suddenly heard the thoughts of the monster.

"This aura... it’s nothing like a normal strong fighter!"

"This is terrifying... absolutely terrifying."

"I can’t take it anymore—I have to fight with everything I’ve got!"

Ethan stood there, bewildered. Wait, no one told me this... My power isn’t mind reading at all. It’s that the more my enemies overestimate me in their minds, the stronger I actually become.
