The capital city of the Aegis empire was bustling more than usual. The cars were 10 times the usual number that usually drove the roads. People of different races filled the streets walking in different directions.
A middle aged man and his son were among the people walking on the streets. The usually vacant road they took home was filled to the brim. His son, no older than 7 years noticed the unusual bustling of the city and turned to his guardian.
"Papa, why are there so much people on the streets today?"
The middle aged man smiled at his son and replied.
"It's the awakening test today."
"Awakening? What's that?" The boy asked; his face filled with curiosity.
The middle aged man frowned. Damn this son of his. Him asking this question meant that his son rarely paid attention in class. This was basic knowledge that should have been drilled into his son's brain. He made a mental note to meet with his teacher the next day.
"It's the test taken by most kids when they reach the age of 14. If they pass the test, they will become very powerful and take care of monsters easily!"
The boy's eyes widened at the mention of the word powerful. He always wanted to be strong. If he was strong he wouldn't have to go to school and meet his teacher who always kept teaching him annoying things.
"Papa i want to awaken!" the boy shouted, looking at his father with a pitiful expression. Unfortunately, all he got was a knock in return. He was still rubbing his head when he heard his father's voice.
"You're still too young. When you're older, it'll be your turn"
The middle aged man grabbed his son's hand and they kept on walking. Soon, the father and son duo blended into the huge crowd.

-The Military Academy, Aegis Empire-
Lukas walked out of the shower after taking his bath; his bathrobe still draped around his naked body. His body was a sight to behold, firmly packed with the right amount of muscles for his age. He stood at a impressive 175cm tall. His skin a healthy brown colour. His face had lost any form of androgyny, looking very boyish. His silver hair was cut a bit low now. He wore earrings on both of his ears.
Lukas donned his military uniform and wore his boots before stepping out of his dorm. He was quickly joined by his fellow friends as they made their way towards the academy bus. Lukas entered the bus and took the seat by the window side. He brought out a pair of airpods from his bag and inserted them in his ears. He looked out the window as music played from the airpods.
It had been 4 years since he came to this world. Lukas was 14 now. Today, with his friends, were going to the capital city to take their test. This was the first time Lukas would be visiting the capital city. He had never left the 4 walls of the academy grounds except during drills. Even at that, the drills were done in either abandoned places or the military properties. Today he would he leave the walls of the academies and break free from its shelter. After today, he would have to fend for himself; whether he awakened or not.

-Zik Capital City, Etienne Mansion-
In a spacious and well decorated room in the Etienne mansion, Ayleen looked at herself in the mirror with confidence in her gaze. She was wearing a stylish black gown with beautiful yellow designs on it that brought out her blonde hair. She was finally going to awaken today. She was extremely confident that she would not fail.
In fact, it had never really crossed her mind that she would fail. She was also extremely confident that she would be the best among her age mates this year. All her training and exercises had been for this moment.
A knock on the door jolted her out of her thoughts.
"Ayleen? Are you there? It's me! Bella!"
"Coming!" Ayleen took one last look at her self before exiting the room. She greeted Bella and two of them chatted as they made their way to the expensive benz reserved for them. With all the special treatment it was obvious that they held special identities in the Etienne family.
Ayleen was the niece of the current Patriach of the Etienne family. Her parents had left the Etienne family around six years ago, when Ayleen was still 8 years old, for a S-ranked quest. She didn't know when they were coming back but she knew they were alive; as they sent her letters frequently.
Bella, Ayleen closest friend was the daughter of the captain of guards of the Etienne family. Her mother died while giving birth to her while her father was mostly busy so due to this Bella was always seen with Ayleen. The two were mostly inseparable.
Ayleen and Bella made themselves comfortable in the backseat of the benz. As the car sped towards the awakening center Ayleen couldn't help but smile. The day she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

"Miss, we're here" the driver said to Ayleen as the car came to a stop. Ayleen and Bella alighted the car and came face to face with a skyscraper. The building was about 100 meters in height, and it had a majestic look to it. It was the Awakening center.The awakening center wasn't just for testing the children, it was the place were awakened gathered for different purposes. It housed everything that the awakened needed in the Aegis empire. It was more of a headquarters for the awakened.Ayleen and Bella made their way into the crowded building, getting looks from the people inside due to her looks and how expensively she dressed. She didn't let it distract her and walked with utmost confidence to the floor designated for awakening with Bella on her tail.At the awakening center they were many kids chattering to themselves, trying to get the nervousness out of their system. As Ayleen and Bella entered the wide room all eyes turned to them and the chattering died down. It was soon repl

As Lukas walked towards the room, he could feel all eyes on him. Lukas paid them no mind and continued on his way to the room. He soon got to the room, disappearing from everyone's sight.Entering the room, Lukas found himself facing three people, 2 men and a woman. There was a table in the middle of the room; a transparent orb on it. One of the people seated broke the silence."Come forward, put your hands on the orb and try to feel the mana in it. The brighter the orb the higher your score. Go on, start."Lukas went and did as he was told, his heart pounding. He put his hand on the orb, closed his eyes and felt for mana.There. He could feel it. There were stars in the vast world he found himself in. Each of the stars were tied to each other by a thin white thread. Lukas started to untie the threads tied to the stars. As he untied one of the stars it let out a light in the space he was. 1 star, 3 stars, 7 stars. Lukas soon found himself lost in a trance as he kept untying the threa

Lukas entered the room for the second time and saw the three judges still seated. The judges signaled him to go to the same table and put his hand on the orb. Lukas did as he was told and soon enough the orb started emitting a pale blue light."That's enough boy." One of the judges said. Lukas removed his hands from the orb and looked at the judges.The three judges looked at each other, discussed for over 2 minutes before nodding their heads. They had come to a conclusion. One of the judges cleared his throat before announcing."Lukas Kerr, you have successfully awakened as a Mage. You may leave now."Lukas nodded his head before exiting the room. His expression was stoic as he walked towards the exit but internally his heart was beating furiously! He was ecstatic. He had successfully awakened! It was taking everything he had not to burst out in joy. He held it in and walked towards the elevator. He wondered what had become of his friends in the military. Out of everyone who came t

Lukas woke up to the sound of his alarm ringing. He turned over and turned off the alarm before looking at the time on the clock. 7:20 am. Lukas lay on his bed for a while before taking off his nightwear. He put on his bathrobe and entered the bathroom to take his bath.He awakened as a Mage 2 days ago. Today was the day he was leaving the academy. He had been planning for this day since he entered the academy.He studied intensely and took 1st place in every monthly exams held. He had accumulated a total of 3 gold from the exams as he spent his money sparingly. 3 gold was 30,000 coppers. It was a huge sum for him. He had already packed all his clothes the yesterday. There wasn't much to pack though, just a couple of shirts, jeans and his shoes.Lukas exited the shower and dried himself off. He wore a black shirt, black jeans and white sneakers before grabbing his backpack. He took one last room at the dorm. It had been his home for the past 4 years. He felt grateful to the militar

"Thank you for using our services. Here is my card, you can contact us-"Lukas slammed the door before the cab driver could finish advertising his services. Services my foot! Lukas swore never to use their services again. The reason was fairly simple. During the journey, he fell asleep and dozed off for about 2 hours.When he woke up he found out that he had barely moved from the spot he dozed off! As if that wasn't enough, the whole ride was very bumpy and uncomfortable. Lukas regretted not using the train. The train t-fare was 200 copper notes, so he didn't consider boarding one.Needless to say he now understood the ancient proverb 'Penny wise, pound foolish'. Exorbitant prices and bumpy rides, he wasn't using their services ever again!Lukas walked towards the entrance, following the signboards to navigate himself. Soon enough he found himself at the entrance. He didn't move forward again, his mouth gaping wide. The first thing that came to his mind was huge.There was a very hu

Noelle alighted from the cab, paid the cab driver before turning and heading towards the entrance.She could see a lot of people around her age along the way. Some were wishing their parents goodbyes, some were making phone calls, and some were looking around as if waiting for someone while some were heading towards the entrance like her.Noelle could feel a lot of attention on her as she walked, probably because of her looks. There were some boys who came to hit on her but soon left after seeing that she showed no interest in their advances.She walked unhurriedly, as the time for the test was still some hours away. She wondered if she would be able to pass the test.As she was lost in thought she felt someone tap her on the back. She thought it was another boy coming to try his luck again so she ignored it. She kept on walking before she felt another tap on her back. She still ignored it, thinking that if she did the person would lose interest and go away.When she felt the tap agai

Ayleen gaped at the screen in front of her. She couldn't believe what she was seeing.-Name: Ayleen de Etienne.-Test score: 85/100.-Local rank: 042.-Regional rank: 1,389.She made it into the top 50 in the local rankings and top 1500 in the regional rankings. She was feeling good with herself at having a good score when she saw the top 10 on the regional rankings.Lukas Kerr! He was the number 1 on the list! Just how insanely good was he? How could he get a perfect score on the theory test? If she didn't partake in the test she would be obliged to believe that the test was very easy. She suddenly felt like everything she did was a waste. She glanced at the list once more before clenching her fists tightly. She vowed to reach his level and overtake him.The door opened and a middle aged woman entered the room. She was dressed in a white shirt and black skirt with leggings. She was wearing glasses on her eyes and her hair was tied into a bun. She was Mrs. Chandler, the examiner for

The sound of the alarm woke Lukas up from his sleep. He turned over and checked the time on the clock. 7:30 am.Lukas groaned before getting up from the bed. He walked to bathroom and soaked for a while in the bathtub before sighing.The hot water had a therapeutic effect on him. After soaking in the bathtub, he took his bath before exiting the bathroom.Today was a good day for him so he decided to look better than ever. He styled his silver hair, put on a fancy pair of earrings he got for 2 coppers yesterday and he wore his clothes.He did all this while humming to the song blasting from the speakers.After checking himself in the mirror, he nodded in satisfaction at what he saw before heading out of the room.At the same time he opened the door, the door opposite his room opened too.Two pretty girls with blonde hair exited the room opposite his.The girls gasped at the sight of Lukas, as if they had seen a ghost. One of the girls had an ugly expression on her face as if she had ju

Ciel was still shocked at the identity of the masked hunter. Although she had some suspicions, there were merely suspicions. What were the odds of the masked hunter that was her teammate being Lukas himself?From what she could tell, she could see that Lukas was very experienced as a hunter, even more experienced than her. She easily deduced that Lukas had thoughts along the same line as her after the traumatic experience at the Zivel forests, and decided to increase his strength by becoming a hunter.However, she did not account for the speed at which he grew. By some coincidence, they even managed to join the same guild, and were assigned to the same team, which was the only reason she was able to deduce his identity. With tumultous emotions raging wildly in her heart, she joined the village guards and started to help evacuate the helpless villagers while fighting against the saber toothed tigers, taking a passive stance in the heated battle.Lukas who had no idea that his identity

Saber-toothed Tigers
A surprised expression immediately appeared on Chief Keef's face, and the powerful aura that he had kept hidden suddenly skyrocketed. Without even sparing the three guests in his small hut a glance, he exited the hut in a haste. Amanda glanced at Lukas and Ciel briefly before exiting the small hut, leaving both Lukas and Ciel no other choice than to do so. When Lukas and Ciel appeared outside the small hut, the scene before them was one that they did not expect at all. Several huge monsters could be seen charging at the weak villagers. These monsters were incredibly huge, easily towering the villagers at more than 3 meters tall. They bore an uncanny resemblance to the tigers on earth, with few differences. The teeth of these monsters were incredibly sharp, cutting through the weak defenses of the villagers like tofu, and the four front canines were shaped like sabers, hence their name saber toothed tigers. At a single glance they could see more than fifty saber toothed tigers; an

Gien Village (II)
“What do you think you’re doing in my village?”Amanda swung her wand when she heard the voice, pausing the terrified villager’s fall. The villager had his heart in his mouth at that moment, as his face inches away from the ground. If the voice hadn’t interrupted Amanda from her actions, he had no doubt that he would have been face planted on the hard ground and turned into mashed paste.Lukas and Ciel were both shocked and curious that someone was capable of making Amanda cease her actions. They had no doubt in their minds that the villager was a goner when he mocked Amanda’s outfit. They were instead worried about how they would explain the injury of the villager to the Hunter Association when they submitted their quest report for clearing.Amanda slowly turned around to face the owner of the voice. There was shock in her eyes as she gazed at the chief. She was a silver ranked hunter and a Great Mage, which spoke volumes for her physical strength, but she was unable to sense the chi

The journey to Gien village was a smooth one, albeit a long one. It took seven hours for them to get to their destination, one hour longer than the usual time needed. Throughout the duration of the journey, both Lukas and Ciel maintained complete silence. Lukas instead spent the whole time looking outside the window of the van. He found himself missing Eipi all of a sudden. At least, the journey would not have been this boring.When they arrived at Gien village, the van dropped the three of them off before driving off speedily.Lukas and Ciel looked around the village as soon as they alighted from the van. As the name suggested, Gien village was truly a village. At a single glance both Lukas and Ciel could tell that it was very underdeveloped.The van had dropped them at Gien village, but they still had to walk a short distance before they got to the gate to the village.As the trio walked towards the gate, they ran their eyes around their surroundings.

Summons
The night passed quickly with Lukas following his daily routines which were his usual meditation and exercises.The next morning Lukas woke up early as usual. Amanda had informed them to arrive on time to the Guild building so that they could leave early and get to Gien village on time.Lukas dressed up in his usual hunting outfit, which were his stylish combat clothes, his jacket and most importantly his mask, before exiting the dorm.The dorm was still empty as usual, as the backlash from the attack had yet to die down. Lukas however wasn’t bothered about that. He would use this period to increase his personal strength. That had always been his goal.He took the cab as usual and got to the Guild building early. The meeting room was empty meaning that he was the first to arrive.Only a few minutes passed before the door to the room opened and a beautiful lady with blue hair stepped inside the room.It was of course Ciel. She was also dressed in her combat suit, which was blue in colo

“Denied.” Amanda said authoritatively, twirling her wand as she spoke.Ciel let out a light groan when she heard Amanda’s response. This was the fourth quest she had suggested to Amanda but she had denied it just like the other three she submitted to Amanda.Lukas stood up and handed over a document to Amanda. He didn’t read it this time because Amanda told them not to read out loud anymore. Their voices were sickening and would give her endless nightmares according to her.“Denied.” Amanda said again, still twirling her wand as she spoke.Lukas didn’t groan like Ciel. Instead he just turned and went back to searching for a new quest. After having his quests rejected eight times, twice that of Ciel, he gave up on complaining about the rejection. The time he used to complain was better spent on searching for new quests. He had learned from numerous rejections that his complaints meant nothing to Amanda.And just like that, two hours of their time were spent searching for new quests. Af

Choosing a Quest (I)
The reason for their shock was obvious and understandable. At their level as Basic Mages the feat that their team leader performed was completely shocking to them. Casting a magic spell without the use of a magic circle was something they couldn’t comprehend.They had been taught that it was impossible to cast a magic spell without a medium which was why magic circles were required for casting spells so seeing Amanda cast a magic spell without a magic circle was utterly shocking to them.Amanda paid them no heed. She could clearly see their confused gazes and shock at her method of casting magic but made no plans to explain it to them. Not only was it stressful to do so there was absolutely no need for her to do so. She saw no reason to explain the mystery to them.“These documents contain several quests issued by the Hunter Association. Completing the quests will give us contribution points which in turn can be used to level you both to the silver rank.”Lukas and Ciel leaned forward

A beautiful lady with light blue hair and very curvy body walked in. She was dressed in a fitting hunter’s outfit and at a single glance Lukas could tell that her outfit was enchanted.Her blue eyes that were just as beautiful as her hair scanned the room and came to rest on Lukas. However, her incredibly beautiful face scrunched up into a light frown of confusion when she saw Lukas.For one, Lukas face was as usual covered up with a mask, so she was unable to see his face. His silver hair was now long enough to be packed in a small ponytail, which was what he did.She looked at him for a few seconds before removing her gaze. Hunters were eccentric people anyways. It wasn’t abnormal to see someone wearing a mask.Meanwhile, Lukas was extremely glad that he had decided to wear a mask. The lady wasn’t able to recognize him because of the mask, but he was able to recognize her the instant she walked in.She was none other his senior at Aegis Imperial High School who followed them to the

New Rules
The new rule passed by the Chairman of the Hunter Alliance created a buzz among the Hunters. As expected, the hunters and Guilds were not welcoming of such rule. They had reported to the Hunter Alliance in hopes of them providing a reasonable solution, but instead all they got was a ban telling bronze ranked hunters not to participate in dungeon runs. Of course they were several bronze ranked hunters or Guilds who disregarded this rule and went ahead on dungeon runs. However their ending was far from ideal. The bronze ranked hunters all had their hunter’s license revoked permanently while the Guilds involved were given a 12 month ban on participating in dungeon runs. A 12 month ban was similar to crippling the Guild’s flow of profit because they couldn’t rely on expeditions alone, needless to say that dungeon runs were twice as profitable as expedition. When several hunters heard the harsh punishment passed on the hunters and Guilds that violated the rule, several bronze ranked hunt
