It had been one year since the apocalypse when monsters suddenly appeared on earth and started killing humans. The human population reduced greatly but it was at that time that awakening centers were found and humans also found out that after awakening your innate talent, and you could get stronger from killing monsters and absorbing the cores in them and also learning skills from skillbooks dropped from monsters. It was on this day that our MC, James a university student before the apocalypse was on his way to the awakening center to awaken his innate talent. As he was on his way he met his friend Alex who was also on his way to awaken his innate talent.

"So James what talent do you think you will awaken?" Alex was curious to know.

"I don't know maybe ice or fire " He said in a low voice so only Alex could hear him.

"I wish I knew what I would awaken I am so anxious to know " By now they had already reached the awakening center there were not many people here only a old man and a fierce looking man.

"Step up to awaken your talent" said the fierce looking man, hearing this Alex nervously went up to the alter and placed his hand on the orb after some time a red light shone from the alter and started becoming brighter then disappeared.

"Not bad, a medium grade fire talent" The old man was surprised as he stared at Alex who was excited.

"My turn" James stepped up and placed his hand on the alter after some time it glowed with a dim white light and then disappeared, everyone was surprised

"I am sorry but I have not seen or heard of such a thing before" The old man said with a frown but James was silent so the old man thought he was dishearted so he gave him some cores.

"Take this cores and then sell them you will be able to live comfortably for a while" Alex also comforted him by telling him that he will help him If he needs any help. James thanked both of them and left but deep inside he couldn't wait to get home because he could hear a voice in his head

"Ding"
