The Author's POV

In the moment that Kevin's name was announced, I reclined in my chair and remained quiet.

'Looks like you've succeeded.

What was taking place didn't take me by surprise at all. On the contrary, I knew from the very beginning that this particular outcome would occur.

It was because I knew what would happen that I decided to attend this meeting.

To see Kevin get crowned as the alliance leader right before my very eyes and become the most powerful person in the human domain.

The notion of Kevin becoming the most influential person in the human domain was somewhat perplexing, but I also realized that this presented me with a fantastic opportunity.

An opportunity that I couldn't miss.

"I thank those that have voted for me and given me the chance to become the Alliance leader."

Kevin started his speech, and all eyes fell on him.

'It's bright.'

Kevin reflected internally as he spoke into the microphone in front of him.

Because of the bright lights that were pointed in his direction from the far corner of the room, Kevin was unable to clearly see the expressions on the faces of those who were around him.

The only thing he saw was four white balls of light that shone directly at him and were surrounded by darkness. It gave him the impression that he was the only person on stage.

He didn't know exactly how they were reacting to his sudden appearance, but this didn't bother him as long as he continued to speak.

"The outcome of the vote has given me a lot of reason to celebrate. Of course, I won't exactly do that now, but I'll do so later, that's for sure."

Kevin smiled, and the tense auditorium was suddenly filled with a few muffled giggles here and there.

His smile faded not long after, and his expression shifted to a more serious one.

"Because of my previous successes, some of you should be familiar with my name already, and you should also be aware of where I am currently ranked. I am not the strongest person in the room, no, I'm not. I'm far from that."

Kevin lowered his head for a moment, and the place fell silent.

In spite of the bright lights that were obstructing his vision, Kevin could visibly feel all the eyes of the people within the auditorium drawn toward him.

"There are many other heroes that are a lot stronger than me at the moment. One such example is Ocavious Hall, the current Head of the Union, and the strongest person in the human domain. Although I'm not exactly weak, I'm still quite a few levels below people like him. That said, I am of the belief that power shouldn't be the main deciding factor for one to be a leader."

"Although desirable, I do believe that I am the best choice to lead the human domain to safety and prevent it from falling into the hands of the Monolith and the demons."

"What I'm saying now may sound like bullshit, but I don't care. I think it is best if I show you all just what I am capable of rather than just saying what I will do in the upcoming months and years."

When Kevin pressed the table in front of him, an image began to materialize all of a sudden.
