2022-05-05 16:43:20Information rushed to Raymond's head as soon as he clicked the word "Inject." It was the button for him to have the plot and learn what the destined incident was supposed to happen. And as it rushed to his mind, he was calm, sitting on his bed with no particular expression.
It was as if he was listening to music that brought a few colors to his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, he still saw plenty of dashing colors in a form called memory.The information became part of his memory, and that made Raymond accustomed to what would happen in the future. There were plenty of unwanted and crucial moments before the Awakening Ceremony, and in this chapter one covered his whole one-year training after the Awakening Ceremony as well.There was plenty of information ranging from the easiness of it all, to loving moments, problems, etc. But what was crucial was the information about things around him that he was supposed to not know before.In the political affairs that brought him difficulties, there was a thing like that in this plot. And as the injection of the plot stopped, Raymond let out a dispirited sigh."What kind of life was that? In a ratio, at least 3 happy moments out of 10 moments, and the rest are issues. Is this what the Dragon King calls challenges?"Raymond then smiled as he let go of his grip and dropped his body onto the bed."This kind of life... should I say that I will enjoy it? I didn't know what kind of life I wanted, but these memories and the will of the real Dragon King in his youth were still inside me.""I wanted to be the greatest of them all. This is what my heart shouts, and I am not against it. How should I put it? My consciousness might tell me that it is an absurd goal, but my subconsciousness longs for it."Raymond wasn't a practical person either. He was still a child with fantasies about what he wanted to happen to him. And it was undeniable that he knew that he wanted it too."This is making me excited. What could my life in this world be like with this system? Before these doom days come to me one by one, I will survive them all.---Mission #2 of Chapter One: Enjoy your youth with your friends.---"Ah... What is this? What is this supposed to mean? I have friends, but why should it be a mission for me? Oh... That is right. Maybe after our childhood, there will be a few cracks that damage our relationship." Raymond guessed.It wasn't helpful to be negative, but these negative thoughts were now all welcome for him to think since he knew that this life would have plenty of doom days. And even though he still doesn't know what will happen in the years after five, he was able to have some speculation by having the fiction tales back his speculation.If it was just for doom days, at least he had plenty of harsh endings back on Earth. Even with how he should think positively, the use of negativity was crucial for this life.But then, as he was in the midst of thinking, a sudden exclamation in his head rang. It was unbearable as it was. It was like a needle piercing through his brain.His nerves twitched as he endured all the pain without shouting. He knew there had to be something to this pain......Raymond lost his consciousness and remained laying down on his bed, sleeping peacefully for the entire day.The next day, it was like a hangover for him. His head was heavy, and it hurt like he had experienced brain trauma. But even with it, he was still okay."Just what happened to me...?" Raymond pondered, then looked around at his surroundings.If there were no changes, then why did he suddenly feel that pain? There must be changes here, even if not in the surroundings, at least internally.He let out a sigh and opened his windows. It was the morning. Did he perhaps sleep the entire day? It was obvious that he did.And then, he closed his eyes to try to remember what happened yesterday. It was as if some memories that didn't belong at the time were lingering in his mind."Right... I injected the plot. Was this all of it?"Even though he could remember it, he wasn't aware that the memories and the emotions in the plot were also injected into him. He only carried on as if it was normal; he got accustomed to it and the will of the real Dragon King had fully merged with him.There were no more questions about living a normal life. At least now he had some greed and ambition. That was what happened to him. The pain was a sign of his real self rejecting the will and emotions of the previous Dragon King.As Raymond's will was weak, the suppression ended with a short pain of an entire hour. But Raymond's endurance was only as weak as that of a normal human who had not awakened. Thus, he was weak with mental pain.Raymond filled his nose with the fresh air, feeling the breeze of the wind, which had a small chill to it. It was cool, to be precise, and his nostrils were tingling from the freshness he felt.It was an amazing experience. Furthermore, it was a life in the rural, and it was truly magnificent because of how peaceful it was."Hey, Raymond! Have you already recovered?! Come, we are going to play at the small hill!"What took Raymond's attention was the small voice of a kid who was pushing himself to shout. It was Raymond's friend, Arthur, and also one of his childhood friends.Raymond smiled and waved at his friend."Thank you for the invite, Arthur, but I still don't feel like leaving the house. Maybe tomorrow." Raymond explained to his friend. Then, Arthur nodded and waved back with a smile."See you tomorrow!"Raymond went to see his friend disappear from his sight and let out a sigh afterward. He still couldn't believe that those words were naturally leaving his mouth. This should really mean that the will of the real Dragon King has merged with his."Well, it isn't a bad thing. At least I don't feel guilty since I don't feel that I robbed this life from its real owner." Raymond mumbled, then decided to leave the window and reach the door of his room.He decided to see his family and talk with them. Even with just a small story from Earth, posing as his dream, he wanted to feel the warmth of a family once again.

The three noble children were flabbergasted by Raymond's reply. They went silent, intently looking at him with their wide eyes. Then one of them spoke up about their demands."You do really want to go the hard way, commoner. Even if you have an A-grade, you are still a commoner, so you have to listen to us."Just as this person said, everyone was surprised. The other students came to a halt and began prying on the scene. They were loud at the time, and that was why they were grabbed onto the scene. However, what they could notice was that, no matter how infuriated the noble children were, Raymond remained calm and unbothered by their tantrums."Hey, commoner. Even if you are backed by General McWorthy, you don't have the right to ignore nobles. That doesn't mean that you are equal to us, even if you are an A-grade.""He is right. Be thankful and be honored that we invited you to join our group. You have been useful to us since you were performing well.""Are you actually a dimwit? If

"Ah, no, it is a casual question, it is not the actual question."Raymond smiled and nodded. "Will I have more points if I answer your question?"Kian was speechless, as were Raymond's classmates. They blankly looked at Raymond with disbelief because of his blunt words. He just blurted it out, and it ended up being an absurd question.Kian had a gap in his lips and he slightly gave an answer, which he was not sure was needed."You will have more points."Raymond was overjoyed. "Yes!" Then he faced Kian. "Okay, teacher, you may now ask me another question.""Does an awakened person have only one Talent?""No, because there is a second awakening and a third awakening. The second awakening mostly happens when the person has already mastered their Talent and has two pure Skills out of it. Meanwhile, the third awakening is so rare that no one could tell when they would awaken again.""And what is the use of the sphere? Can they just use it again and awaken if they like? ""The sphere is no

Everyone went to their seats and left Raymond's place as their teacher went in front of the class and introduced himself."I am Kian Waymoore. I am your adviser and also your main teacher in any subject. There will be just a few adjustments in the future with the other subjects, but for the whole year, we will be together." Kian stated in a monotonous tone, which made the intensity of his aura that much higher.Kian proceeded with taking chalk from the table and drawing something on the chalkboard."First, what you need to learn is what Talent is. It is the most important thing that an awakened person must know. So listen attentively. Talent is crucial. It is the life of an awakened person.""Talents have different types. There were some that were already discovered, but there were some that remained a mystery. For starters, E-grade has the highest similarities with others. Some were for lifestyle, some were for combat, some were for healthcare, and other

Reputation was important for individuals who wanted to establish their names in an organization or environment. Hence, Raymond thought that what if he showed that he was not an easy person to approach? So, on the first day of the academy, it was already clear that his batchmates would be looking at him. It was already that much to think of, as his face was already in public. However, what was not widely known in the public was his attitude. Hence, for the whole two years under the academy, Raymond intended to use his attitude as the major factor for getting people to give him space. But the question was, why would he put much effort into having his own space? 'It is already obvious that the plot changed. Hence, the difficulty changed to the point that it would be difficult for me to filter things out. So, instead of letting other people unintentionally mask my vision, I would push them to have a clear path and a clear vision of what to see.' I

Raymond returned home and celebrated with his family. Gandina, who had assisted and trained him for the past few months, joined the fun of Ramond's family. It was satisfying for Raymond, but later on, he knew what he should focus on.The academy offered board to him, to cater to him to their fullest extent since he was the 4th A-Grader in the village. Even McWorthy was surprised by it, and he immediately revealed his connection with Raymond.Raymond backed it up, and after a week of back-and-forth with the academy and other officials attempting to poach him, he finally had peace of mind."I finally fixed the problem with my family. We are now living financially stable with the help of General McWorthy, but there is still one thing that I wanted to have."It was security for his family. McWorthy could not offer it since his men were focusing on fighting criminals. Even Gandina was just an exception to it and was ordered to protect Raymond's family."I apologize for that, Raymond. But,

Everyone looked at Raymond laid his hands on the orb. The orb was turned on, and the light indicated that the orb was starting to surge with energy to measure Raymond's grade.Five seconds passed, and everyone started to bet on what Raymond's grade could be. But they were simply underestimating him, as they had done to others.But the village elder was confused. Raymond seemed to not care about what was happening to him. His eyes were just staring at the orb with no certain expression, and that made his eyebrows raise in perplexity.'What with this kid?' he asked himself.15...Raymond already passed the 15th mark, which indicated that he was at least higher than a D-Grade. He could be C-Grade, but he passed the 20th mark as well.A B-Grade? That was amazing, and everyone's eyes flickered in amusement and excitement."Wow..."But then, they weren't expecting it. Raymond passed in the 25th second."An A-Grade!"26...27...28...29...Raymond suddenly collapsed away from the orb, and j
