Awakened The Strongest Talent

Chapter 2

[TALENT ACTIVATED]

JOLT!

Draken jolted up from his bed, his whole body drenched in sweat and his heart was racing.

“What the hell?” Draken pondered in confusion, glancing around the room. The room looked like his small dorm room.

“How am I here? Why ain't I dead?” Draken questioned himself, a look of surprise and confusion etched on his face. The last thing he recalled was him jumping off the roof, and also...

“What was that window screen that popped up?” Draken mused. He did remember an alien holographic screen that appeared in his line of sight while he was falling, and if he wasn't mistaken, a robotic voice did say something about Talent Activated.

“What does it mean?' Draken pondered,and while thinking about it, the same strange holographic screen materialized in front of him, causing Draken to flinch backwards and fall off his bed.

[CALL ON SYSTEM INTERFACE TO VIEW YOUR STATS AND QUESTS]

Draken glanced at the window screen in front of him in confusion and awe. "Instead of death, God struck me with madness? Now i am seeing things." Draken lamented, rubbing his eyes and opening them once more.

"Huh? It's still here?" Draken exclaimed in shock, shaking his head to get rid of it, but it still remained. "Is it real?" Draken wondered, lifting up his hand to touch it, but his finger only went through like nothing was there.

"It says I should call out the system interface to see my stats and quests?" Draken mused with his fingers rubbing his chin. "System interface!" Draken voiced.

Once Draken uttered those words, the screen in front of him vanished and a whole new one appeared.

DRAIN A TALENT TO GET INSTANT LEVEL UP

---------------

Draken's eyes scanned through the screen in amazement. "It's just like those old games," Draken mused. The system looked like the game he used to play back then that required the avatar to complete missions to level up.

"If truly this is like those game,then once i level up i will get stronger." Draken eyes widened in anticipation. He has always been the stupid weakling everywhere he went, and if he managed to level up, then he would teach those who treated him like trash a valuable lesson.

"I am just over reacting. Is it even real?" Draken doubted the authentication of the system. There was never a case that someone among the Talent users was able to increase their strength using a window screen.

"Let's try this," Draken mused, lifting himself off the floor and moving closer to his bed. "Put all points in strength!" Draken called out internally, and once he did, he felt a refreshing energy flow through his body.

[STRENGTH: 10]

After receiving the notification, Draken placed his hands on the bed and positioned his body well.

HNN!

Draken groaned, lifting the bed off the floor with both hands. Once the bed left the floor, the same screen popped up right in front of him.

TIRING

[LIFT 10KG: COMPLETED: REWARD, 5 ATTRIBUTES POINTS]

"Phew!" Draken exhaled as he dropped the bed. "At Least I know that it works. But how am I sure my strength increased? I haven't tried to lift this bed in the past, so I don't know if it was easier now. Darn it, I'm a fool."

Draken cursed himself internally for not lifting the bed before adding his strength. If he had done that, then he could easily tell if truly his strength increased.

"I'll just try out the rest first," Draken pondered, going down to the floor and began to push up.

Nine...Ten...

Tiring

[10 PUSHUPS COMPLETED. 5 ATTRIBUTES POINTS]

"The pushups felt quite easy to complete. Could it be that my strength indeed increased?" Draken pondered with a smirk. "Guess there is only one way to find out."

[STRENGTH + 10] [STRENGTH 20]

Placing the points he got from the daily quests, Draken proceeded in grabbing the bed by both sides and lifting it up. This time, it felt like he was lifting up a tiny piece of stick.

"There is no doubt. I got stronger," Draken mused, a look of satisfaction etched on his face. 

"So all I need to do is complete quests and get stronger? If I could train hard and kill lots of monsters, my level would rise," Draken remarked. 

"I will move from being trash to the greatest hero this world has ever known. And also,those people who looked down on me, I will do well to drain their talents and make them nothing but useless."

***

Somewhere in Oak City, a tall mansion that had faded black paints was located somewhere inside the thick forest. Inside the building, an underground chamber was located.

The chamber was dimly lit with just few blue candles hanging here and there on the wall. 12 individuals could be seen sitting around a round table, they were all dressed in long black robes and a black hoodie that shielded their head.

At the center of the round table,13 candles could be seen on it. Among the 13 candles, only one candle didn't have a flame on it, but the rest of them were burning bright with blue and red flames.

"I welcome you all to today's meeting," a man sounded in a deep tone. "As we all know, it is unusual for me to just summon the 12 leaders of the Awakened family if the situation isn't serious."

"What is the matter, Barnes?" A lady among the group voiced hastily.

"The leader of the..." Before Barnes could finish his words, the 13th candle that had no flame suddenly lit up and began to burn brighter than the rest, causing the whole group to rise up in shock.

"What is this?" One of the leaders questioned in surprise. "I thought we had Master Jang's magical core, how then is the candle burning?!"

"It appears we have been tricked and we only have the fake core." Barnes responded, taking out a round black object from his pocket. 

The object looked to be similar to the one Draken had. "This is a fake, the real one is with someone else, and now that person has activated the Talent. We all know what could happen when the wrong person gets his hands on Master Jang's talent."
