"84..85...89..."
A man without the top was doing pushups on the lakeside, not far from him was a maid holding a cup of juice on a plate.
"98...99...100"
As soon as he finished counting the sound of the system invaded his ears.

[All stats +1]
It has already been seven days since he started doing exercises and Today was finally the day of the awakener exam.
To go there on time, Roger woke up early in the morning to complete the daily quest, with his rigorous training over the past few days, his status has also changed quite a bit.
Now his status looked like this...

________
His rank has gone up from F to F+ and all his stats have increased by 7.
The limit of stats for an F rank was 20 and the entry for an E rank required at least 25 stats in all the stats, of course, different types of awakeners like, skill type or physical type would have different conditions to reach the next stage since strength would be useless for skill type awakeners and intelligence would be useless for physical type awakeners.
Roger was content with his increase in stats as he smiled heartily.
Linda who noticed that he had stopped training quickly walked toward him handing him a glass of juice.
"Linda, ask Harry to get ready we will be departing shortly"
He said taking the glass from her, now that he had finished the training, there was nothing to do for him.
"Yes, Master"
As usual, she nodded her head and walked off taking the glass from him. Roger also went back inside to get ready.

As long as you become Awakened you can continuously grow, you get stronger faster by leveling up repeatedly using the skills.
Even though Roger got considerably strong while increasing his stats in the last week, the easiest way to get stronger would be raiding dungeons and hunting monsters.
But not everyone can explore the dungeons.
As a way to tell to the people not to take their lives lightly, The country and the awakened association set the standards for those who wanted to go into the dungeon.
To hold the Awakened exam, that is providing the 'worthy' individuals with Hunter license.
The exam can be taken on any of the two days of the month and Roger had decided it to be on the 20th day of the month.
'The last week is all for this'
Roger thought as he could see the sky-high building in the distance that seemed like it went through the clouds!
As the car drove nearer to the building Roger could see many people gathered there.
Young people who were aspiring to be hunters and had come prepared for today, The scouts from different guilds that were waiting like hyenas to recruit anyone with good potential. There were even reporters looking for some spicy issues...
"We called some reporters too right?"
Roger asked Linda who was sitting next to him.
Though it would be eye-catching, it was a must for Roger to catch the attention of his Father-in-law and he had no choice to do that.
"I called a few people that I know..."
Even though Roger was considered useless trash, he was a part of the Taylor family nonetheless, and there was no way that the reporters would miss the chance to get any scope about them.
"Is that them? there seem to be many people..."
Roger asked seeing a group of people with cameras and mikes gathered in front of the association.
Linda looked at them as Roger mentioned them but after seeing some of the faces, she said,"No. Master. The ones we called said they would be gathered near the parking lot."
"They, who are they taking pictures of?"
Roger asked in confusion as he couldn't remember anything that could be more tempting for reporters that the news about Taylor's.
They couldn't see the face of the one who was surrounded by the reporters but as they neared the parking slot the face of the man become visible to them.
"...!"
".....!"
Both Linda and Roger almost jumped from their seats seeing the face of the individual who was standing in midst of the reporters.
While Roger was visibly shaking and became depressed, there was nothing but rage in the face of Linda who was looking at the man's face.
'...Noah...Taylor'
They both thought inwardly while grasping.
---***----
"Noah Taylor...? Why is he here'' Park hyungsung, the report that was waiting for Roger in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Noah Taylor, the 6th son of the Taylors, although not as popular as his other siblings, was quite a popular person. He was a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Taylors being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for Taylors. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of Useless son-in-law!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Roger Taylor would be there on Awakener's association for registering himself as a Hunter, Even though Roger is considered a worthless son-in-law by the Taylors, the World nonetheless deemed him as a Taylor, so it was natural that any news about them would be trending. Reporter Park thought that it would be a major headline about his awakening, but seeing as the
Noah Taylor, a kind and warm person, at least that's how the world has known him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Linda seeing Noah Taylor in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave a good impression at first sight! But the reality couldn't be any further... He was an outcast among the Taylors, being born as the second child of Vincent Taylor's third wife, he was treated as a worthless tool. All the nine children of Vincent Taylor, except Noah, were genius who excelled in various fields. He was like a rotten apple amidst the fruits, though the apple may seem like a luxury for commoners, a rotten fruit nonetheless was disregarded. Even though he was a C-rank hunter at the age of 25, he wasn't given any attention by his father or family. It was precisely because he was overshadowed by the monstrous talent of his siblings. Amidst his monstrous siblings, he was seen as nothing but ordinary. A
Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Roger with Linda entered the association. The media also exploded as a result of his surprising words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country. While Roger was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the test. Shortly afterward they were greeted by a lady in formals and were led to the examination point. "Only examinees are allowed past this point!", the lady said politely. Roger who understood her, turned to Linda, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the test" Linda nodded her head, "good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score" Roger smiled at her entering the examination center. It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart. Roger was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there. Not long after a man holding a set of papers entered the room, He
"I want to take both the tests, Sir" Roger said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates looked at him. All the other cadet's also turned towards him as they found a new cadet wanting to take both tests surprising. 'Is that the famous Useless Son-in-law of the Taylors?' He thought looking at Roger. 'He wants to do both the Physical test and skill manifestation test? Usually, it's recommended to focus on only one... Is he trying to show off now? ' He glared at Roger thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Roger didn't back down, he stood his ground against the S-rank. 'Well, it's none of my business!' "Come forward, we will do your test first" Honestly, he just wanted to get done with the test and go home, He was already too tired that he didn't want to even argue with anyone. Roger nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who was practically tre
Everyone present in the hall was filled with astonishment and surprise at the sudden appearance of a new record from the person they least expected anything from. 'Does this mean the new record holder is him?' 'Wow! I never knew that the Useless loser of the Taylors could give us such a surprise!' 'A Taylor is a Taylor, nonetheless!' Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Roger in awe except one person that is! 'What did I see just now? Did he really hold back his power at the last movement!!?' Others may have not noticed this, but he couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank! Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when the fist was about to collide with the machine, Roger pulled his hand! He didn't know why he did that but... 'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.25 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!' It definitely would have exceeded the world record by a large margin! A super rookie
(Shortly after Roger entered the association, before the awakener exam)Noah Taylor came to where his car was parked, holding his phone in frustration!Earlier when he was about to use the situation to beat up Roger, he got a call from his father's secretary.Kim dokja!He was the secretary of his father, Vincent Taylor for 30 long years.He was not from the Taylor family but he was the most trusted person by his father, and he was one of his old comrades who watched his back during the wartime of 'Great disaster'.His influence on the family was even higher than Taylor's direct descendants.Noticing that such a person is calling him at this time, he thought something urgent must have come up and went to pick up the phone!But!! Unlike his thoughts, there was only a short message that was left for him in the call."Don't try anything funny with Roger, it's your father's words"Nothing more was said and the secretary cut the call after that!but just those words were enough to send a c
"That was ridiculous" Screamed Noah who was walking alone in some kind of an underground old parking lot, he was thinking about what the secretary said to him on the phone. "I will make sure to beat him to pulp today!" He said liting up a cigarette. He had already informed his men to bring Roger to him as soon as they drive him here so he was going to wait in the underground till he is here. In front of Noah, who walked alone while snorting, a figure intervened and blocked the road. “What’s it?” Noah who was already quite annoyed raised his voice without realizing it and stared at the other person. “You, aren't you Roger's driver?” Noah's eyes narrowed upon his unexpected appearance in the secret corridor where he was walking alone. But the following word was the kind he really couldn’t imagine. “Hey.” “…What?” “Do you wanna die?” “…” Noah’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. It was not simply because he was frightened by the sava
The test results were immediately announced the day after Roger passed Awakener’s exam and received the license. As expected, he was accepted as a top scorer, or to be exact, as a lesser E rank Hunter. Naturally, the press and mass media were in an uproar. ※Taylor family's Good-For-Nothing son-in-law, Roger Taylor, Becomes Top Honor Hunter ※ Roger Taylor, is he an Irregular? ※ 'I have a great expectation from Roger' - says the S-rank hunter, Joshua Agnus ※ Another Rising star from the Taylor family!! ※ The Worth of Taylor family surges again with the awakening of their Son-in-law! ※ Is Taylor family invincible? ※ Will the son-in-law of the Taylor joins the 'Guardian' guild? ※ Special Feature, S-Rank!

Sitting in his own office at home, Vincent’s mouth twisted sharply as he slowly looked over the newspaper articles that his secretary, Kim dokja, had saved. Whether he was smiling or angry, he soo
