The Power of Adrenaline Energy
(Auxiliary Chapter – This chapter expands on the power system and history of Adrenaline Energy for readers who want a deeper understanding. No major story spoilers ahead. "And the power level mentioned in this chapter are for humans")
Throughout human history, there have been countless turning points—moments where survival became the only goal. Over fifteen centuries ago, such a turning point arrived. When monstrous beasts appeared, capable of tearing through steel and wiping out entire settlements, humanity was pushed to the brink. Weapons shattered, magic faltered, and hope nearly faded.
But then, from the depths of desperation, something awakened within the human body—Adrenaline Energy.
What is Adrenaline Energy?
Adrenaline Energy is the raw, potent force that resides within every human. Born from the instinct to survive, it is an energy that amplifies the body and mind beyond normal limits. It is believed to be a unique mutation that awakened when humanity faced extinction.
When pushed into life-or-death situations, a human's body releases adrenaline, allowing for brief bursts of strength, speed, and focus. But Adrenaline Energy is far more evolved—it doesn't just empower the body temporarily; it permanently fuses with the user, transforming them into something greater.
Those who master this energy become warriors capable of facing the beasts head-on, protecting what remains of human civilization.
How Does Adrenaline Energy Affect the Body?
Adrenaline Energy enhances every aspect of a human's physical and mental capabilities:
- Strength: Users can crush stone and bend metal as they progress.
- Speed: Movement becomes faster than the human eye can track.
- Durability: The body grows tougher, capable of withstanding devastating blows.
- Senses: Perception sharpens—sight, hearing, and reflexes heighten far beyond normal.
- Regeneration: Higher levels unlock faster healing, though not absolute immortality.
- Instinct: A heightened battle sense allows users to react to danger without conscious thought.
Unique Adaptations: The Awakened
Not all humans adapt to Adrenaline Energy in the same way. As time passed, it became clear that some individuals developed unique traits, giving rise to what society now calls the Awakened. These warriors possess abilities beyond standard energy users, often resembling the very beasts they fight.
Some common Awakened traits include:
- Bestial Features: Clawed hands, fangs, fur-like skin, or reptilian scales.
- Heightened Senses: Supernatural hearing, night vision, or heat detection.
- Enhanced Eyesight: Users gain special eyes capable of seeing energy flow, tracking fast movements, or detecting enemies through walls.
- Elemental Affinity: Rare users can align their Adrenaline Energy with natural forces—fire, lightning, wind, and more.
- Beast Resonance: Some Awakened can partially tap into beast-like instincts, increasing their power dramatically during combat.
These unique traits are often unpredictable, making Awakened individuals both revered and feared.
The Eight Levels of Adrenaline Energy Mastery
Mastering Adrenaline Energy is not a simple task. Over centuries, humans have classified their growth into eight levels. Each level represents a breakthrough in control, strength, and understanding of their own power.
1. Rookie
The first step. A user has unlocked their Adrenaline Energy but can only harness small bursts of power. Their strength is several times that of a normal human, capable of defeating weaker beasts with effort.
- Power Level: Can break bricks and lift up to 500 kg.
- Combat: Still heavily reliant on weapons.
- Survival Rate: 50% against lower-tier beasts.
2. Apprentic
The user gains proper control over their energy. Speed, reflexes, and endurance improve drastically. Combat against small groups of beasts becomes manageable.
- Power Level: Can crush stone with a punch, move faster than most beasts.
- Abilities: Energy techniques begin to develop.
- Survival Rate: 80% against common beasts.
3. Master
A true warrior. Masters are the backbone of humanity's defense. They can move faster than the eye can see, and their strikes can demolish buildings.
- Power Level: Can destroy reinforced walls with ease.
- Abilities: Minor regeneration; energy reinforcement on weapons.
- Combat: Can defeat mid-level beasts solo.
4. Grandmaster
Legends within cities. A Grandmaster's mere presence commands respect. Their punches can level city blocks, and their bodies withstand blows that would obliterate normal humans.
- Power Level: Can reduce a block of a city to rubble.
- Abilities: Advanced energy control; can emit shockwaves; heightened regeneration.
- Combat: Can defeat high-tier beasts with effort.
5. Legend
Few reach this stage. Legends are seen as guardians of humanity. With a single strike, they can collapse entire buildings or launch energy blasts capable of clearing streets.
- Power Level: Can demolish a district with sustained attacks.
- Abilities: Enhanced instinctive dodging; energy barriers; elemental infusion.
- Combat: Can face multiple high-tier beasts alone.
6. Conqueror
Feared by enemies and respected as rulers of battlefields. Their power is akin to walking calamities. A Conqueror can devastate an entire section of a city in moments.
- Power Level: Can annihilate half a city.
- Abilities: Long-range energy projection; battlefield awareness; partial beast transformation (in rare cases).
- Combat: Can challenge a beast horde alone.
7. Limit Breaker
A being who shatters human limitations. They bend the battlefield to their will. Limit Breakers can destroy entire cities if they go all out.
- Power Level: Can wipe out a large city.
- Abilities: Energy constructs; flight; accelerated regeneration; beast instincts fully unlocked.
- Combat: Can overwhelm elite beasts singlehandedly.
8. World Slicer
The pinnacle of human power. Those who achieve this level are considered the ultimate guardians—beings capable of changing the course of wars alone.
- Power Level: Can destroy entire countries when unleashing their full power.
- Abilities: Spatial energy slashes; atmospheric shockwaves; near-invincible durability; partial reality distortion during combat.
- Combat: Can challenge the strongest known beasts.
Legends speak of warriors who could cut continents apart with a swing—World Slicers. Their names are etched into history, but in the last few centuries, such beings have grown scarce. For most, they are symbols of hope... or distant myths.
Adreno Arts: Techniques Born from Survival
While Adrenaline Energy grants power, Adreno Arts give warriors the skill to wield that power effectively. Developed over generations, these combat techniques are specifically designed to harmonize with the flow of Adrenaline Energy.
Some notable forms of Adreno Arts include:
- Beastflow Martial Arts: Imitates the movements and instincts of beasts; emphasizes fluid dodging, rapid strikes, and unpredictable motions.
- Blade Synchronization: Integrates energy flow into swordsmanship, enabling users to cut through even reinforced beast hides with ease.
- Shadow Step Movement: A high-speed evasion technique allowing users to blur in and out of their opponent's vision.
- Forceburst Strikes: Enhances punches and kicks with compressed bursts of Adrenaline Energy, creating shockwave impacts.
- Ironhide Defense: Reinforces the body's surface with layered energy, enabling users to withstand beast claws and energy blasts.
- Aether Lancer: Converts energy into piercing spears that can be thrown or wielded in close combat.
Some Adreno Arts That Have been Used In Series:
1. Dragon's Blade
2. Garuda's Glide
3. Hastraksham

A warrior without proper technique is like a beast relying solely on brute force. Those who master Adrenaline Energy alongside Adreno Arts become the ultimate hunters—the true defenders of humanity.
Final Words
Adrenaline Energy is not simply power—it is the will to survive made manifest. Paired with Adreno Arts, it transforms humans into weapons capable of protecting their future.
But power alone does not determine victory. Willpower, strategy, and heart shape true warriors.
This is the path every fighter must walk.
This is the path of Adrenaline Energy.
