《The Most OP Protagonist In History》Chapter 17: True Limit!
Advertisement
All the things that happened due to Saksham's powers might seem like a coincidence to normal people, but what Saksham didn't know was, his actions had unknowingly alerted some secret authorities.
"You said that there were some abnormalities in the Indirapuram region. So, what kind of abnormalities are we talking about here?" A middle-aged man asked.
"There was a never before seen kind of energy spike in Indirapuram, sir." A young man said, looking at his computer.
"What?! A never before seen kind of energy?! How can this be possible! Are you sure the sensors were working fine?" The middle-aged man exclaimed.
"Yes, sir. They are perfectly fine. Even I would have thought that there were some issues with them if there was only one instance of that spike. But in the duration of a few hours, there were 3 times when this spike appeared. And their durations were extremely small. If I hadn't been paying attention, I would have missed them too." The young man explained calmly.
"How sure are you that this is definitely a new kind of energy?"
"As soon as the sensors picked them up, I carefully studied it and compared it to the existing energy systems. It neither matched the Soul Energy nor the Elemental energy and even the residual energy of Warriors. And to be sure, I checked it 3 times. The result was the same."
"Is it those people making trouble here again?"
"We can't say that yet, sir. We don't know if it is them or not."
Suddenly, the middle-aged man took out his phone and dialed a number. After not waiting for even a beep, the other side answered the call and asked respectfully, "How may I help, sir?"
"Investigate and gather data of all the foreigners who have come to India lawfully and those who entered under the curtain. And also those who came to Indirapuram or its nearby area. I want all the information on my desk in 10 minutes," ordered the middle-aged man.

"I'll report this at once, sir," the other side complied respectfully.
After saying this, the middle-aged man hung the phone and asked, "Do we know where these spikes happened?"
"No, sir. As I said, this happened in a very small duration. The sensors were only able to pick them up and give us a rough location. But it wasn't able to pinpoint it. We can be sure that these spikes appeared in Indirapuram. Where and how exactly? That is the job of the Investigation Department." The young man answered.
"Do we know if such spike has happened in the past too?"
"I am checking that currently, sir. If I get anything new, I will report it as soon as possible."
"Hmm...Alright. you have done a great job reporting this. If this is really a new kind of energy than what we currently know, then this world might change again. Let's hope this change is good for humanity." The middle-aged man said dignifiedly.

A week later
For an entire week, Saksham had been doing nothing except studying. He had been focusing on Physics and Chemistry as they were somewhat troublesome to deal with. So, seven days passed by unknowingly. In these 7 days, Saksham also didn't use his powers. And what he didn't expect was that the heavy feeling in his chest had dissipated a lot after these 7 days. Now, Saksham felt as if his body was very light and the difficulty in breathing that he had before was also gone. He was feeling very alive now.
After much careful thought and reading some novels, Saksham came to the conclusion that using his powers put a strain on his soul. The more he used his powers, the more the strain on his soul would be. And recalling that feeling as if he was going to die after continuously using his powers that day, he couldn't help but shudder. He was completely sure now that overuse of his powers could definitely kill him.

His plan now was to not use his powers for some more days and let his soul recover. He had also calculated the number of times he could use his powers before the strain on his soul kills him. Counting from the time he had gained this power till now, it has been 8 times. So, he could use his powers 8 times before he faints and maybe even dies. He didn't know, if he used his powers 9th time, would he still be conscious? And the thing is that he also didn't want to know because he was not going to put his life on the line to experiment that. So, he told himself continuously that 8 times was the limit to his powers after his soul recovers completely.

Breakers
My name is Joo In-gong. The name that my parents gave me meant ‘protagonist’ of the world. As anyone can predict, I was constantly teased due to my name. In kindergarten, elementary school, middle school and high school. If I went to university as planned then I would probably be laughed at there as well. So, at one point, I really hated my name. But not anymore. Now, I think slightly differently. Maybe being named Joo In-gong was a type of foreshadowing?

8 237The Shards of Sylvia's Soul
In the little village of Nyberg, Sylvia is dreaming of a future with Rebecca at her side. Together, they could move overseas. But when bandits attack, all of her tender dreams turn to ashes. Forced out of her home, Sylvia forges new bonds with the Fri, the women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their little corner of the world. She also meets Afi, a strange bandit with a stern face and a soft heart. Saving each other from certain demise, they join in a bond which irreversibly ties their souls together. So bonded, they attempt to settle down. When a distant heir to the Crown asks for aid to reunite the country, Sylvia sees her chance to finally right all the wrongs committed against her family. In the pursuit of the throne, Afi and Sylvia come to risk their very lives. Sylvia uncovers the relationship between soul, magic, and divinity itself, but even in research, there is peril. It is not an easy task to balance the strain on her soul with the demands of the upcoming battle. In this world, the soul is not an incorporeal concept. To the contrary, the human soul is a physical object, an organ which resides in the chest of each individual. It is a great source of strength, but also of vulnerability. Hardship can leave scratches and blemishes, or even break the soul in two. The soul is each person's connection to divinity, to the magic which is ubiquitous to the world. It enables the cultivation of gods, but old legends warn of demons emerging in the presence of corrupt intention, and of hollow warriors, with no soul at all. There are two sides to every page. Update ScheduleNew chapters are in the works. ScopeThree to four books in total are planned.Book 1: "Fri Women" Chapters 1-64. Find the paperback and e-book here.
