Chapter 14 Awakening 2
"Tehh jhuthsiet jheragin, ae crumanshel auf ae nhyrlbedii"
That was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
I have talked about this before, but every child in the continent will awaken their classes when they reach the age of 10.
However, every child\'s awakening process differs from the other.
For example, in the game, Arthur had a dream that he needed to save some kids from danger, which required him to sacrifice himself, and he saved those kids.
In that part, the game didn\'t give you any choice; therefore, you had only one option.
After saving those kids, in his dream, he started bleeding really hard and started dying.
However, of course, he woke up, and at that moment, he obtained a status window saying his class was the hero.
This is one of the examples.
Some children can\'t immediately awaken their classes. Those types of kids need to awaken their class by achieving a certain degree of mastery at something.
However, in general, most people would awaken a class related to their characteristics and the actions they have made in their life so far.
For instance, a child who always worked with swords will mostly get a class related to swords or fighting. However, a child who was always interested in making food won\'t probably get a class related to fighting.
There are some other factors, such as bloodline or other things as well.
And this complex relationship is one of the reasons why everyone has different awakening processes.
And that is also the case for me.
Right now, I lost consciousness after Lady Nyx muttered some words, which means I am in the process of awakening right now.
However, there is one important thing.
I don\'t know what to do.
The place I am in right now is just some sort of empty space without anything around it.
I can\'t see anything. No, I can\'t sense anything.
It feels like I am in the void where nothing is here.
Normally in the awakening process, one generally would have a duty or quest to finish, and according to the results, they would get a class.
However, I neither remember a quest nor remember an instruction given before I came here.
Does she want me to figure that out myself?
That seems to be the case.
I started looking around to see if there was anything, but as expected, I wasn\'t able to see anything.
There are no sounds, either.
Then what should I do?
At that moment, I remembered something.
I have already constructed my magic core and magic circuit before coming here, which means I should be able to use and sense mana here as well.
With that thought, I closed my eyes and started focusing on my sense of mana.
In the beginning, everything was still black, and I didn\'t feel any changes.
However, as time went on, I started feeling the little particles around me appear.
No, actually, they didn\'t appear. They were always there, and it was just that I couldn\'t sense them properly.
But there is a little difference between the mana I have felt and the particles I am sensing right now.
If, generally, mana is the raw type of energy in the world, then the particles I am sensing right now are the raw type of mana.
Well, it may not make any sense, but it is like the derivative function.
If all those energies are derivatives of mana, then the mana is derivative of this particle itself.
Now that I am able to sense this thing, I tried to breathe that as well.
Normally in the process of mana breathing, we would try to interact with mana and pull it inside our core, and I tried this process on this particle as well.
Firstly, I tried to form a connection with the particles around me.
I focused my whole attention on the particles, and I felt the connection slowly bridging.
The more I focused, the more I felt my connection with those particles getting stronger and stronger.
After I felt the connection reached a certain threshold, I decided to start the second step.
The second step is pulling all those particles to my core.
Since my connection was strong, it didn\'t take a long time for me to pull every particle I formed a connection.
With that, another part of breathing particles started.
I kept absorbing all those particles at the same time; I started expanding my senses.
Since the place I am in right now doesn\'t seem to be the world of Aeris, I didn\'t limit myself to the common sense I knew.
I tried to expand my senses as much as possible, and as I expected, I was able to do that in a bigger range in this place.
And the more particles I absorbed, the more my sense expanded, and with my senses expanded more, I was able to absorb more particles.
In a sense, this went on like that, and after a certain point, I started getting a clear picture of this place inside my head.
I can say I am in some sort of empty space where there is nothing except the energy particles around me.
No lifeforms, no other things. It was just energy.
At some point, I started feeling that I had reached my limit.
No matter how hard I tried, I wasn\'t able to absorb any more particles aside from that, and I also wasn\'t able to expand my senses any more than that.
It was at that moment that I heard the voice of Lady Nyx in my head again.
"Oh, it seems you finally reached your limit. You did a very good job, considering I didn\'t say anything to you about what you should do here. You are also the first person to reach his limit when you are in this space. As expected, you are really talented."
She said, and I started feeling the change in spatial disorientations around me.
It seems like my awakening process is finally finished, huh?
At that moment, I suddenly felt a sudden pain around my core.
"URGH!"
Wait, what is happening right now?
Why is my core feeling burning?
"You must be wondering what is happening with your core right now, right? Although the process will hurt a bit, you don\'t need to worry. It won\'t be a negative thing for you."
She said, and I started feeling nauseous. Remember I told you that our core is linked everywhere around our body?
Because of that, the more I felt my core burning, the more I felt like throwing up as well.
However, she said it wouldn\'t be a negative thing. That means I only need to endure this shit right now.
At some point, my core started reconstructing itself. This process was even more painful than before, but I managed to endure it somehow until a spatial vortex absorbed me, and I left that place not long after.
"Then, I hope we meet again in the future, my fated one. I sincerely hope you are ready to face what the future holds for you."
I heard that graceful voice again, and after that, I felt something tough under my feet.
I see, so I am here again, aren\'t I?
The moment I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was the flickering moonlight reflecting from the surface of the lake.
After that, I started looking around to see if there was anyone around me, and as I expected, there was no one.
Lady Nyx wouldn\'t throw me a place full of people.
At that moment, I heard the system sound in my head.
<Ding! Congratulations, host, for getting the blessing from the forgotten goddess of darkness, Lady Nyx.>
<Ding! Congratulations, host, for awakening the class \'The Sorcerer of Beginning\'.>
<Ding! The status window of blessing and system is merging.>
I see, so I finally managed to awaken my class, huh?
But what is this class?
\'The Sorcerer of Beginning\' I have never heard of such a class inside the game.
I was expecting something extraordinary from the moment I saw the sealed sign on the system, but I had never thought of something like that appearing.
I said \'status\' in my head to see the changes around my body and my status window.

"Wow."
The only thing I could say was that.
Regardless of the increase in my stats, my attribute is one of the best things I have seen so far.
Everyone must know the theory of the Big Bang, right?
This is the theory about how the universe is created or formed.
It was said that in the beginning, there was only a raw type of energy, and because of the instability, the energy got expanded, and the universe was formed.
Then, if my class is The Sorcerer of Beginning, wouldn\'t that make my attribute the raw energy contained in the beginning, or in other words, \'Aether\'?
I see, so it was like that.
That also explains the reason why I was able to absorb every type of mana around me.
Because my attribute, Aether itself, is the purest form of energy that means, I also should be able to use every type of magic.
With those thoughts in my head, I checked the clock, and as expected, it didn\'t even take thirty minutes to awaken my class, even though it felt like it had been days.
After I reached the place where I had left the carriage, I saw that guy still waiting for me.
Hopping up into the carriage, I ordered him to bring me to the city…
