Conqueror’s Desire

On the surface, Nami staggered backward as a massive wave erupted from the ocean, shattering the night's stillness with a deafening roar.

"MC!!!" she screamed in panic.

Her wide eyes searched desperately across the dark sea for any sign of MC, but all she could see was the swirling vortex, growing larger by the second.

Then, in an instant, something emerged from its center.

A figure—standing atop the water.

Nami gasped. It was MC, but… something about him had changed.

His eyes now glowed an eerie blue-green, and his body was covered in pulsating symbols that shimmered in sync with the waves around him.

But the most shocking part—The ocean obeyed him.

She watched in disbelief as the once-chaotic waves froze in midair, as if waiting for his command.

"What… what happened to you?" she whispered, barely able to find her voice.

MC panted, his gaze flickering with uncertainty. He could feel the ocean.

He could hear the whispers of the currents, sense the pressure of the water around him, even perceive every ripple stretching into the distance.

"I…" MC tried to speak, but before he could form a coherent thought, another voice echoed across the sea.

"The Heir of Poseidon has finally awakened."

The hooded figure from his visions now stood atop the water, mere meters away.

"Who are you?" MC demanded, his voice deeper than usual.

The man smirked. "My name is unimportant. What matters is… you have finally returned to where you belong."

MC frowned. "Returned? I don't even know who I really am!"

The figure chuckled softly. "That is because your memories remain sealed. But your body… your body remembers. And the sea remembers you."

MC clenched his fists. "Stop speaking in riddles and tell me the truth!"

The man raised his hand slowly, and the ocean began to churn once more.

"Very well. Then prove to me that you are truly Poseidon's heir…"

From the depths of the ocean, an enormous shadow emerged.

Nami screamed as she saw it—A colossal Kraken, its blackened form illuminated only by its glowing red eyes.

"Survive… or be swallowed by the abyss."

Without warning, the Kraken lashed out with one of its massive tentacles—striking toward MC with terrifying speed!

He had only one choice—Fight!
