Game World's Awakening-Chapter 25: Finally, in the Awakened Rank

The next morning.

'The rat population has decreased...'

By this time, Elliot was at the other end of the vast forest and had killed from north to south and from east to west.

At some point, he stopped counting the number of rats he had killed because he was mentally exhausted, but it was surely more than 800. Even so, he hadn't had enough to complete a whole point for several hours.

He had spent so long hunting rats that he had forgotten to look at the time, and it was the sun's rays crossing through the leaves of the large trees that made him realize that dawn had broken.

"I didn't realize I had spent the whole night hunting."

Finally, he could relax and look at the system. More than two hours ago, he got the sixth point, which was just the third agility point he needed. There was no longer any need to continue the hunt.

Many rat bodies were scattered everywhere, but honestly, he had no intention of picking them up. He had picked up approximately 600 before; he didn't need any more. It would be annoying. So he ignored them and went straight back to the city, where he sold them at a good price with Ruth. Although it came as a big shock, it didn't bother him.

After obtaining more than $15,000, he returned to his apartment.

The moment he had been longing for had arrived.

He was going to move up the Ranks. Although he had only recently awakened, it felt like a long time had passed. Perhaps because they had been days of continuous stress or perhaps because of how anxious he was.

Whatever the reason, he was now ready to reach the next level in his career as an Awakened being.

To reach Awakened Rank, he didn't need much, but the first thing he did was take out the awakening injection he had bought it the night before because he would need it to go up a Rank. Then he took out all his healing potions and put them next to the injection.

"I don't have enough money to buy the rest of the stuff, but this is more than enough to get me across. Now..."

Looking at the system, he raised the two points of Strength he had available. Then he raised one point of resistance, the only one he had, and finally added the remaining 3 points of agility.

As soon as he had done so, he injected himself with agility. As he had done once before, this time it was much easier; he managed to hit the vein perfectly.

Finally, he sighed and closed his eyes. His body began to react to what had just happened.

His flesh became incredibly hot, to the point that it seemed as if they were going to fry in their own sweat. This was painful but nothing he couldn't bear.

He opened his mouth to breathe and used the air to cool his muscles from the inside, fill his lungs with strength, and oxygenate his heart, as he would need it.

When he finished, his internal organs and skin suddenly lit up. The intense pain made him tremble, but it was only the beginning of much pain.

Soon, his muscles, fibers, and organs began to tremble, as if they were under intense, painful pressure. His whole body shivered; his hair stood on end, with some losing color due to the great change in temperature that his body underwent.

What he was undergoing was a transformation.

It is the Transformation of Awakening.

It only happens once, but it is very painful. If awakening is already difficult, continuing along the path of an Awakened One becomes even more challenging due to the various tests that come your way.

And the first of those tests was before him. The most crucial thing in this test is to maintain consciousness because if he lost it, his whole body would burn in flames, and he would be burned in the attempt to strengthen it.

As long as he retained consciousness, he could avoid something like that.

But it was painful.

"HAh..." As he breathed, smoke came out of his mouth, and the heat invaded the room. Even the air conditioning didn't seem enough when he breathed more than 10 times, and on each occasion, hot smoke came out of him.

It looked as if he was being roasted alive inside, but he endured it.

"...Strength is born of pain."

Even though his mouth was trembling, words of encouragement came out of his mouth when he felt all the organs inside him moving.

'It's so... painful.'

His eyes suddenly began to bleed when some of the heat was transmitted to them. He had never felt so much pain in his eyes, but the burning could make him cry if he couldn't hold back. Or maybe it was already making him cry tears of blood.

As time passed, seconds seemed like hours, and hours seemed like years. Enduring so much pain made him lose track of time. His body trembled continuously, and the blood seemed to want to escape from his body; his bulging veins were proof of this.

But he managed to resist.

Some time later, his body began to calm down. He was in a state of conscious unconsciousness. The pain and determination had kept him conscious for so long, but his mind seemed to want to escape from him.

He remained like that for over an hour until finally he opened his eyes. They were filled with a strange reddish fire that prevented him from seeing, but little by little, this fire went out, and he could finally see again.

The system was before him. Although it had sounded a while ago, his sense of hearing was not working properly right now, so it was not until he opened his eyes that he realized.

[Congratulations on becoming a Player, Elliot Clark.]

[The Second Talent of your Class, 'The Awakener' is in sight. Continue to strengthen yourself to obtain it.]

| 'The Awakener', the Second Talent of the Monarch of Energy, is about to awaken.

| Requirements: Reach 60 stat points in at least two stats.

'Second Talent?' On reading the first thing it said, his body stiffened, even though he still ached inside, and he couldn't help wanting to get closer to read faster.

But as he read it, he frowned.

'60 points... I still have a long way to go. From here on, getting points will be more difficult,' he thought.

The 60 points in two statistics meant reaching Master Rank or Veteran Player, a milestone that not many people in this world reach.

"But The Awakener, uh... I'll look forward to it. I don't know exactly what it means, but I'd be an idiot if I didn't understand all the clues that name gives me." He smiled.

Although he still had a long way to go, he was satisfied for now. Not even a week had passed since he had awakened, but he was already getting a glimpse of what his 2nd Talent would be.

Although he was more interested in the second Manifestation since his first Manifestation was simply amazing, getting an additional Talent to the one he already has is something that everyone would want.

The first Talent focused on strengthening him, and it is thanks to this that he is now so advanced. So, what type of focus will the second Talent have?

And to think that there would still be a third...

He was eager and longing for power, but now was not the time for that.

He looked at his hands and verified that he was in the Awakened Rank.

"My muscles, internal organs, and even my bones feel more potent than before. I think I could kill that dungeon's boss on my own and faster than last time."

"Should I go and try it?"

He looked at the room and his own body. He realized that he was dirty and his room was not yet well equipped, so he had several things to do before he had free time.

So he resigned himself and went to take a bath.

Afterwards, he tidied his room and went to sleep. He would need to do some shopping, but he was exhausted right now. Besides, he wanted to revisit the goblin and spider dungeon, as he needed to purchase several items for his house to live comfortably, and that place was a gold mine right now.
