Chapter 2: Chapter 2. Awakening

Today, I officially become an adult and now I am walking toward a temple-like building where the awakening ceremony is about to begin.

The children who are coming to their age of adulthood will have to go through the awakening ceremony and after that, they have a chance to awaken a maximum of three abilities called Skills. 

Skills numbers and quality depend on the gene's in their blood and also luck, nothing is fixed.

Better skills can use to fight monsters that bring harm to normal people, those who have dissent skills that are powerful enough to let them fight with monsters get respect, money, women's, noble status, and also in some cases princess as wives. But the majority of people only get normal and useless skills.

That's why those children who have parents with good skills, always have a higher chance to awaken powerful skills. There was a time when due to the bestowal of a combination of skills, an outrageous ability is formed.

The people are known as heroes of the past, due to a combination of these Skills, many if not all achieved great success.

For example, the King was bestowed with two Skills.

It’s a combination of【One-Handed Blade・Sacred】and 【Physical Strength Enhancement・Large】.

The One-Handed Blade skill is an example of a combat-type skill that has different grades of strength.

At present, I know that it is divided into four levels ( Normal, Extreme, Sacred, and God ).

For example 【One-handed Blade】:【One-handed Blade】→ 【One-handed Blade・Extreme】→ 【One-handed Blade・Sacred】→ 【One-handed Blade・God】.

In other words, the King obtained the second strongest One-handed Blade ability.

He also has one more Skill: 【Physical Strength Enhancement】.

As the name suggests, it is a Skill that strengthens one’s physical strength. It is extremely compatible with the previous 【One-handed Blade】.

Physical Strength Enhancement also has different strength levels. In the King’s case, it is once again the second strongest Skill.

With this combination, the King obtained unparalleled strength.

After the King obtained unparalleled strength, he left numerous achievements and became the king.

The stronger the effect of skill, the lower the chances of the bestowal; this is how the temple sees it.

That is why it is rare to be bestowed the ideal combination of skills with powerful effects.

Anyway, there is an infinite number of skills …… maybe not infinite, but there is an enormous number. Within that number, there aren’t that many skills with godly effects.

For this reason, the two skills combination the King obtained is prominent.

The children facing their coming of age, and their families made their way to the temple, bearing huge hopes in their chests.

Yes, they dream of obtaining the same powerful skills as the King, so they can also get everything that they just dream about.

Arriving at the awakening temple, I find a corner and stand there alone. After some time more and more people started coming inside the awakening temple and the temple has a rule that only someone who is going to awaken their skills can enter in the temple.

I have already seen more than 50+ children, and honestly, I am really feeling awkward currently because most of my life I spend training and hunting, so my body didn't look like a 15 old boy at all. I have well-built muscle without any fat, my height is also abnormal 1.85 meter and if you are meet me the first time than you probably say that I am an 18-19 years old boy.

After some time half of the children or I say adults awaken their skills, some looks happy, some looks sad, and some children started to cry on the spot like they just lost their parents. One adult( kid ) did something that even I didn't know what to say. After seeing that he didn't have any useful skills he grabbed the awakening ceremony host lags like a spider and started crying while saying that he didn't want his useless skill, he need a better one. But not only Host didn't give any sympathy or motivation that he predicts but he kick him on his face and said to the guard to throw him out of the awakening temple like a rag doll.

A mysterious uplifting feeling mixed with expectation, uneasiness, nervousness, and full of fear after waiting for 40 minutes, it's my turn now.

When Host saw me he thought that I had come to him to say something, but when said to him that it was now my turn, he glances at me like I am some kind of unique animal.

“Enter that circle, and pray to God for good luck with gratitude for becoming an adult,” Host said with a poker face.

Being told that, I entered the circle and offered prayers to God. Those are just normal formalities that every awakening candidate has to go through.

After the formation circle activate, my body shined faintly for a few seconds, and three skills information appear in my mind out of thin air.

“Hmm, it seems like you safely received your Skills. Please place your hands on this orb” Host said to me.

As he held out a blue transparent orb, I placed my hands on it.

As I did that, the three Skills which previously appeared in my mind were displayed inside the orb.

Namely, 【Appraisal・Complete】,【Cut & Paste】.and 【Inventory】.

After seeing my skills Host started to explain to me their use.

“The skill named Appraisal can examine the details of everything. It is quite a rare skill. 

The ones that are we frequently heard are 【Appraisal・Age】,【Appraisal・Identity】,【Appraisal・Animal】,【Appraisal・Gender】…… etc., it is a rare skill but there is a catch.

You can examine the attribute at the end of “Appraisal”.

Even without especially appraising gender, you can usually know. You can say that it’s a failure even though it is also Appraisal” the Host said with little regret.

I don't know why is he looking sadder than me after seeing my first skill because With the ‘Appraisal’ that I was bestowed had a “Complete” at the back?

This is probably the top attribute even within Appraisal because what the Host knows about Appraisal is what he heard or read in books but I received all details information about my skills with awakening.

My ‘Appraisal’ has ‘complete’ its back because it can examine anything without limits.

Although Host said that it's a good skill even though it's a failure in his eyes but I know that this is a godly skill, after all with this skill I can know about anything as long as he is in front of me, nothing can hide from me and this is perfect for me who does most of his work in the wild.

“I’ve never heard of a Skill 【Cut & Paste】 but I have heard of the Skills called【Cut】and 【Paste】.” The host said after thinking for a while.

“【Cut】is a Skill to “cut down” visible things.

For example, if you used it when you are pulling out weeds, then the weeds within your sight are all cut up immediately.

When disposing of weeds, it is surely the best outcome.

With such an example, I think it is a wonderful Skill.

However, this Skill is best used on fundamentally still objects that didn't contain life. This skill doesn't work on Living things.

If it was effective on even living things, it would be the perfect and extremely advantageous Skill to bring to a battle against monsters.

Naturally, after the monsters, it would be plenty convenient when dismantling, or so I’ve heard.” The host said with a low voice when saying about cutting monsters seems like he also wants to become a hero but reality slapped him quite hard that he still felt pain, Myne thought while nodding his head every time Host complete his sentence so Host know that he is listening.

Dismantling takes a lot of work, inevitably, it will take some time.

If it takes some time, there is a possibility the blood and stench of the monster during dismantling will attract other monsters.

You can say that adventurers extremely welcome the skill because it can substantially reduce the dismantling time, Myne thought.

“As for【Paste】is a Skill which “sticks” anything visible to any place.

It can be used as glue, so to say.

However, it differs from glue. Once you stick something, the thing that is stuck can never be torn apart.

It is the end if you made a mistake when pasting.

It became a terrible thing.

If you used a combination of【Cut】, you can kind of tear it off (It isn’t exactly tearing it off, rather, cutting it off), but for example, if a person is bestowed with both Cut and Paste at the same time, which is rare, you can say that it is an extremely inconvenient Skill.

Although among producers, called craftsmen, the skill is unparalleled in its utilization, and since I’ve heard that they can produce unbelievably sturdy tools and furniture, among other things, depending on your proficiency level, it can be a beneficial skill.” Host explained.

“Next is your 【inventory】 skill, This is a storage type skill with a maximum of 10 to 100 cubic meters, the Host said hurriedly with little jealousy weird.”

He probably thinks that how can I have three skills, after all having three skills at once is too rare to see and my all skill are supportive and match with each other, one way or another, those skills are too good for someone a low-level person like me.

Hmm, it seems like you are bestowed with wonderful skills, 【Appraisal・Complete】, 【inventory】, and 【Cut & Paste】also seems useful depending on how you use it, after looking me some time he finely said while giving me forceful smile to me.

That’s it for today. May God bless your life.

Expressing my gratitude to the Host, I set off toward the home.
