Awakened The Strongest Talent
Draken, a 16-year-old boy lost everything during the monster invasion. His whole family died during the vicious monster attack.
No one knew how the monsters managed to get in. During the war, 13 individuals were somehow able to tap into their magical core and awaken special powerful abilities. The 13 individuals were called the 13 awakeners.
Awakening great powers, they were able to teach the rest of the survivors how to tap into their core and also awaken their talents. With the human race now being able to use special abilities, they fought back and sent the monsters back to whence they came from.
Ever since then, the world has now treated those who awakened weak talents like trash, and the strong ruled.
Draken, on the day of his awakening, was only able to awaken a useless ability that everyone deemed weak.
Draken who couldn't take it anymore decided to commit suicide, and when he was on the verge of death, the one heirloom he got from a special someone was activated.

Chapter: Chapter 221The university admissions agents started arguing loudly.Draken stood there watching them fight over which of them would win him over to attend their school but deep inside, he was not interested.Draken had other ambitions. He didn’t want to take the normal journey anymore, as he had been through things none of them could bear.The homeroom teacher noticed and hurried over. "Draken, hurry and choose which school you want to attend!"The admissions agents quieted down and turned to Draken.Draken replied calmly, "Thank you for your offers, but I want to try to create my own academy into the top-ranked space for talents."Everyone fell silent.Draken had thought about this for a while and knew it was his goal. With his talent and strength, he felt he should aim for the best school in the country.The other admissions agents quickly tried to change his mind."Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?""Berserk College didn’t even send anyone to invite you. They don’t seem serious.""Th

Chapter: Chapter 220When Gaffa announced Draken as first place, the entire room fell silent.Everyone thought they misheard, but recalling Draken’s performance, they realized it made sense.Class Two students cheered collectively.“Draken is amazing!”“He’s the pride of F-level talent!”“Number one in the entire state! Draken made a miracle happen!”The students in other classes had mixed emotions. They didn’t feel great knowing the top student was from another class.“Prepare for the second stage of the exam, now we will have a halftime break,” Gaffa said.The mages began to rest as they stopped their formations. The students returned to their classrooms to rest.Draken also went back to his class to rest. Many people approached him, curious about his strength improvement.“Draken, how did you get so strong?”“Yeah, how can an F-level talent improve so quickly? Any tips for us?”“I understand Draken comes from a low-income family and can’t afford good equipment and potions. He’s extraordinary to have im

Chapter: Chapter 219Draken turned to Lord Luke and said, “The exam rules require me to accept the first two matches. If I win, I can choose whether to accept the next match.”“I also have the right to pick my opponent.”Lord Luke frowned and asked, “Are you saying you’re rejecting my challenge? Are you a coward?”Draken glanced at the black horse behind Luke. Using his Eye of Truth, he saw the horse’s stats.Night Spirit HorseAttack: 40Speed: 700Health: 930Mana: 100Defense: 200 The horse’s speed and health were impressive. Draken thought having this horse would make his travels easier. Although cars existed in this world, rare mounts like this were more valuable.Draken decided it would be great to have this horse. “Lord Luke, if you want to fight me, you must place a bet.”“If I win, I get your horse!”Luke clenched his teeth. The horse was his prized possession. How did it quit just like that? But he thought beating an F-level talent would be easy, so he agreed.“No problem, but what if you lose?

Chapter: Chapter 218Draken activated his Split Claw skill, and in an instant, he destroyed all the vampire bats flying towards him!Everyone watching was shocked.“What just happened? Did he really kill all those bats in a split second?”“This doesn’t seem like F-level strength.”“These bats are Lord Nazzy’s strongest attack, and Draken just blew right through them!”Even Lord Nazzy himself was stunned. He knew how powerful his vampire bats were, and normal attacks wouldn’t usually harm them much.Lord Nazzy glanced at Draken and started to rethink Draken’s power. Seeing Draken’s sharp claws made him nervous. He realized he might not be able to beat Draken.Draken, not wanting to waste time, charged at Lord Nazzy. Seeing Draken rush at him, Lord Nazzy tried to run away, but Draken was too fast. In the blink of an eye, Draken was right in front of him.“Damn it. He’s too quick!” Lord Nazzy shouted in shock.“Didn’t you say you found me a grave?” Draken asked coldly. “You’re the one who’s dead!”Draken sa

Chapter: Chapter 217Akpi was shocked by Draken’s words.He quickly backed away, trying to put some distance between them.“Why aren’t my attacks working?” Akpi wondered aloud.After thinking for a moment, he reassured himself, “You must have focused all your training on defense. That has to be it. Your attack, speed, and health must be much weaker than mine.”Confident once again, Akpi decided he could break through Draken’s defenses with his speed over time.Just then, Draken’s figure flickered and vanished!In a flash, Draken reappeared right in front of Akpi.Akpi’s eyes widened in disbelief. Draken’s speed was faster than his!Draken raised his right hand, which transformed into a powerful dragon claw. His muscles expanded, scales emerged, and five sharp claws gleamed menacingly.Akpi was stunned. How could such a fierce-looking dragon claw be considered the weakest F-level talent?Swallowing hard, Akpi stammered, “Bro, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said those things…”Draken remained calm. “I told you

Chapter: Chapter 216Gaffa stood in the center of the formation and shouted, “Start now! Find your opponents! You have one minute!”Immediately, more than half of the male students in Class Two locked their eyes on Draken and moved toward him.One student rushed forward and yelled, “Draken! Let me be your opponent!”This made the others panic. They all wanted to face Draken and didn't expect someone to cut in line.“Draken, come and fight me. I’ll be gentle!”“Draken, we used to be friends. Let me have this opportunity!”“Grant me this opportunity, and I’ll make it up to you!”The scene was chaotic as everyone rushed toward Draken. He gave a faint smile, finding it ironic how they had just comforted him in class. Their hypocrisy was now clear.A quick-footed student reached Draken first. “I’m the first here. I’m Draken’s opponent. The rest of you are too late!” he announced proudly, thinking his ranking would improve easily.The others stopped, filled with regret.“This guy sure runs fast!”“I missed it.

Chapter: Chapter 183The wind moved gently over the hill. It carried a strange kind of music, soft, broken, but not empty. The world was singing again. But this time, it wasn’t a song of control or perfect rhythm. It was wild. It was alive. Like fire.Oliver stood alone on the crest of that hill where the Dissonant Spire once stood tall and sharp against the sky. Now, there was nothing but soft air and flickering sound. The tower was gone, shattered into pieces too small to see. All that remained were little echoes, like whispers made of light, floating gently through the sky like dust from stars.He closed his eyes and listened. Behind him, Mina leaned against the trunk of a silver tree. The bark looked smooth and clean, like the system’s code had been scrubbed off it.There were no status markers, no glowing lines, no controls. It was just a tree now.Mina picked up a small stone and tossed it into the wind. Instead of falling, it hovered in the air for a moment, then faded into glowing strands of lig

Chapter: Chapter 182The world could not hold the sound anymore. The sky above cracked open. The Spire, once tall and proud, had broken apart. Pieces of black stone floated in the air like ash. Strange melodies drifted through the air, soft and haunting. There was no wind. No gravity. Only rhythm. Time and space felt wrong.Two figures stood on a floating piece of broken stone. It spun slowly in the strange sky. One of them was Oliver Beckett. He looked tired but strong. His eyes burned like fire. The Forbidden Verse still lived inside him. Flames danced around his heart, and shadows crawled under his skin.Across from him stood Arcanon Veres. He didn’t look human. His body was made of glowing lines and silver shapes. He looked like he was built by music itself. He held a staff that hummed with power. He was a servant of order, a protector of the old system.They said nothing at first. Then, the air pulsed. A message echoed from the system:Duel Initiated: Divine TierStatus: Reality Instability Rising

Chapter: Chapter 181The Spire didn’t appear on any map. No one spoke of it. No one dared. It rose from the broken earth like a scream turned into stone, tall, black, and twisted. Its tower spiraled like a corkscrew, pointing straight at the sky’s deepest crack. Around it, the world shimmered. Colors bent. The air buzzed. Even the wind felt wrong, like it blew in reverse.Oliver Vale stood at the base of the Spire. His boots crunched on dry, cracked soil. Mina stood beside him, her hands glowing faintly with harmonic energy. Brael stood on her other side, gripping his halberd tightly. They had walked miles to get here, through ruined cities, dead zones, and system-warped wastelands.Now, they stood in front of the final place. And it was waiting.System NoticeLocation: The Dissonant SpireStatus: Temporal Instability. Linear Progression SuspendedWarning: Sound, Memory, and Form May Not Match IntentBrael frowned. He looked up at the twisting tower. “I don’t like this,” he said. His voice was low, tens

Chapter: Chapter 180The sun was red and low in the sky, almost gone. It looked sick, like it was bleeding into the clouds. The light it cast stretched long across the broken ground behind them.Oliver collapsed near the Vault’s ruined entrance, his legs finally giving out. He fell hard onto his hands and knees. Ash drifted from his shoulders like dust shaken from old bones.His breath came in ragged, static-filled gasps. It was like trying to breathe through wires. His head throbbed, eyes flickering with strange red symbols only he could see.System Alert: Echo Devourer, ACTIVE Hunger: [73%] Self-Regulation: WEAKENED Potential Targets Detected: 3Oliver blinked and looked up. Three shapes stood in front of him. One was Mina, face pale and worried. The second was Brael, blood running down his arm. The third was… something else.A crawling figure, broken and twisted, was dragging itself out from the Vault’s shattered door. It wasn’t human. It was an echo, a failed remnant of some player long gone.And

Chapter: Chapter 179The Vault wasn’t hidden. It dared to be seen. Massive black pillars jutted from the red soil like broken teeth. Dark energy spiraled up into the cracked sky, forming a cyclone of screaming whispers.At the center, an obsidian gate pulsed, chained shut with sigils that looked like they bled sound. “Devourants,” Brael said, raising his halberd. “Guardians bred to feed on chords.”Four of them emerged, hulking, armor-bound monsters with glowing mouths where eyes should be. They moved on all fours, their movements disturbingly smooth.Oliver stepped forward.System Alert: Divine Combat Zone InitiatedEnemies: Devourant Guardians (Tier 3.5)Zone Modifier: Chord Suppression -25% / Devour +15%Strategy: Overwhelm with Burst Phase DamageHe didn’t wait. With a yell, he activated both his Flamebound Key and Breaker’s Verse.Blue fire and jagged red light collided, spiraling around his blade. He surged forward, leaping straight into the chest of the first Devourant. His blade sunk deep, but t

Chapter: Chapter 178The camp cheered as soon as they saw Mina walking toward them. Her boots were muddy and stained with dried blood. Her coat was torn at the shoulder. Her hair stuck to her sweaty face. But she was smiling. It was a small, tired smile, but it was real. The first real smile the camp had seen in days.Behind her came Oliver. He walked slower, more careful, as if he could still feel danger clinging to his skin. Beneath his cloak, a strange warmth pulsed quietly in his chest.He didn’t carry a weapon or a treasure. But something was glowing inside him.System Update: You have returned to a Safe ZoneBuff Gained: Minor Harmony RegenerationStatus Active: Divine Chord (1/4)Brael was the first to run up to them. “You really did it,” Brael said, panting. “You found the first Key?”Oliver nodded. He didn’t say much. He didn’t need to. “One down,” he said softly. “Three more to go.”That night, the camp lit a few fires. Some people sang old songs, though not too loudly. Others just sat and star

Chapter: Chapter 23The sun hadn’t risen yet, but the towers of Argent Academy already shimmered with wardlight. Protective glyphs glowed along the spires like veins of fire, pulsing with alarm. Over the past hour, every bell in the fortress had rung in a chaotic cadence. Because Mason Reed had returned from the Vault of Silence… alive. And not alone.The Pendant of Aethra pulsed steadily at his throat, casting rings of light and shadow onto the cracked marble of the eastern courtyard. Mason stood alone in its center, the suit rippling beneath his uniform like something that breathed. The dagger at his hip remained sheathed, for now.Across the courtyard, fifteen silver-robed enforcers gathered at the edge of the east gate, staffs raised, shields flickering around their bodies. Among them stood John Virell, wand drawn, and his eyes locked on Mason. Above them, Councilor Thorne watched from a floating dais, arms crossed.“Mason Reed,” Thorne’s voice echoed like a thunderclap. “You are hereby commanded

Chapter: Chapter 22The scent of old parchment and dust clung to the air as Mason descended the winding staircase behind the restricted archives. Few knew it existed, an ancient tunnel carved beneath the Academy’s foundations. Its walls shimmered faintly with embedded warding runes, most of them inactive, some flickering like dying stars.At the base of the stairwell, a brass door stood half open. Faint candlelight flickered beyond.Mason pushed it fully open and stepped inside. Edgar was waiting.The warlock stood over a wide table littered with scrolls, rune-etched diagrams, and half-burned candles. His black coat was more tattered than usual, and his eyes had heavy shadows beneath them. “I was wondering when you’d find me,” he said without turning.“You weren’t exactly easy to find,” Mason said.“Wasn’t trying to be.” Edgar finally looked at him. “I heard about the blood oath.”Mason pulled back his collar to reveal the glowing imprint just above his heart.Edgar grimaced. “You let them brand you.”“

Chapter: Chapter 21The great bell of Argent Academy tolled twelve times. By the last echo, the sky had dimmed to a brooding shade of violet. Magic hummed like a low storm beneath the surface of the grounds, stronger, thicker, like the air was waiting to explode.Mason sat alone at the edge of the reflecting pool near the south tower, his back against a moss-covered stone lion. The dagger sat on his lap, wrapped in a scrap of cloth, though its presence still pulsed through the fabric. The suit beneath his robes itched, alive, alert. It had been ever since the Eyes Within vanished into mist and whispers.“Things are moving,” he whispered to himself. “Faster than I thought.”He didn’t hear the footsteps until they stopped beside him. “You’re lucky I didn’t blast you,” Norra said, sitting beside him.“Was that an option?”She shrugged. “Probably still is.”He glanced sideways at her. Her hood was down, red streaks in her hair catching the last bit of sunset light. Her face was tight. Alert. Scared, thoug

Chapter: Chapter TwentyThe wind screamed around the airship like a wild animal. Clouds covered the sky, dark and heavy. The airship moved lower, its glowing runes blinking and sparking, as if they were scared of what waited below.Mason stood at the very front of the ship, holding his cloak tight around him. Cold rain hit his face. He had not slept since the fight in the Whispering Woods. None of them had. Not even for a second.Norra stood beside him. Her arms were crossed, and her sharp eyes stared into the thick clouds.“Something’s wrong,” she said, her voice quiet.Mason nodded slowly. “I feel it too. It's... too quiet.”Footsteps sounded behind them. Felton came up from below deck. His face was pale, almost white.“The captain says there’s interference,” Felton said. “The Academy’s wards... they’re not stable.”“What do you mean they’re not stable?” Aurora asked. She stepped out of the shadows, her long red coat flapping in the wind.Felton swallowed. “They’re... flickering. Fading in and out.”“They'

Chapter: Chapter Nineteen The dagger still pulsed in Mason’s grip. Each throb sent a ripple of heat up his arm, like something alive had embedded itself into his veins. He stared at the blade. It no longer looked like forged metal, it shimmered, a dark sheen rippling just beneath the surface, like oil sliding over water. The crimson runes on its hilt glowed faintly in the gloom. Aurora took a cautious step forward. “What just happened?”Mason rose to his feet slowly, still gripping the blade. “I think… it bonded to me.”She studied him. “You mean like the suit?”He nodded. “Yeah. Like the suit.”The dagger pulsed again. The roots around the stone altar began to move.“Nope,” Aurora said. “I don’t like that.”The roots groaned, stretching, slithering back like serpents. The pedestal cracked. The air thickened with pressure.Then the trees screamed. Not like animals. Like people.High, shrill wails echoed through the Whispering Woods. Mason grabbed Aurora’s arm and pulled her back as the clearing around them b

Chapter: Chapter EighteenThe silence inside the Academy’s Grand Archive was unlike anything Mason had ever experienced. It wasn’t just quiet, it was watchful. Like the air itself remembered every secret whispered within it. The silence pressed in from all sides, ancient and heavy, as if the walls judged his every footstep.Rows of towering bookshelves loomed like petrified sentinels. They stretched upward, disappearing into the shadows of a ceiling lost to time. Each shelf sagged beneath the weight of grimoires, ledgers, and scrolls whose parchment was older than kingdoms. A fine coat of dust shimmered in the air, disturbed only by his breath.Mason walked carefully, boots hushed by a velvet runner dyed deep crimson. A floating lantern hovered beside his shoulder, casting a pale blue glow that flickered like ghost-light, dancing across faded spines and polished wood.Two hours had passed since Solara, Headmistress of the Academy, had granted him restricted access to the lower tier of the Archive. She’d del
