Awakened!
They were the last ray of hope that guarded humanity against the monsters and dungeons.
Though the humans started to awaken irregularly after the great disaster, there were too many unanswered questions about them.
How did they get their power? what were the conditions to get that power? and how can they become strong? there were just too many questions to list.
But after long and tedious research, scientists have managed to answer some of them.
How did the awakened get their power?
It was due to the presence of mana which was previously absent on the Earth before the great disaster.
And about their power...Except for some rare cases that happened once in a while, most humans would awaken as an F rank, but the power of an individual would differ largely based on the skills they would awaken.
Normally, an average awakened would have two normal skills and the strong awakeners would have two normal skills in addition to a single special skill.
The people with special skills were all those who in the future would become the pillars of humanity, it was to the point that only a handful among millions of people would awaken with special skills.
But even more than the special skills there was another thing that measured the worth of an Awakened.
Potential!
Using the ability stone of the S-class monster that was once defeated with the help of seven S-rank awakeners all over the world, It was made possible to see the potential of the awakeners.
An awakened could become a star overnight if he had strong potential! It was because when an individual is awakened, he will gain the ability to continuously grow without any restrictions.
Theoretically speaking each and every individual would be able to grow to a minimum of S-rank if they grow continuously, but that wasn't what was happening in the world.
Even when including all the hunters all over the world, there were no more than 48 S-rank hunters.
The reason was that all individuals will continue to grow after awakening, but the difference is the speed of their growth, the ones with more potential will grow tremendously faster than the ones that had low potential.
That's why if any rookies with high potential were to show up, all the guilds would line up to recruit him.
"So do I have a high potential?"
Eren asked himself sitting on the lakeside while sipping on a herbal tea!
Was it weird to drink tea sitting on the lakeside with a nice breeze? well, Eren found happiness in that and that's all that mattered.
[I don't know anything about this potential, it's something that you humans created yourself, so you got to have a check]
The system answered him.
Originally, Eren planned to hide his awakening for six months while slowly hunting the monsters in fields and other unauthorized dungeons even though it would be a hassle.
But now that his father-in-law himself has promised to protect him for six months there is no longer a need for that.
"Scarlet"
He called out for his maid who was standing at a distance.
"Yes, master", Scarlet as always answered his call immediately, calm and collected.
"We will visit the awakener bureau next week, make the necessary preparation"
"huh? pardon..."
She was surprised at his sudden words and she immediately questioned him.
"Oh! and also make sure to call some reporters"
He said without even turning to look back at the shocked Scarlet.
Though she was surprised by his claim, she immediately went ahead to do her job.
"I will do that, Master"
Now that he had the protection of the earth's strongest man, he ought to use that to his best abilities.
Though he could have found ways to raid dungeons and get stronger without anyone knowing, it would be much better and easy if he do it openly, besides...
"I have to show some development to father-in-law"
It was too early for him to leave the Rozental family's side, and now that he had the protection of Aden von Rozental, the Dragon slayer himself, he ought to thoroughly milk him dry.
So, Eren decided to register as an awakened in the nearest awakened center.
The awakened exam was an exam that could be taken monthly, on the 15th and last day of the month, it can be taken anytime but only twice a month on these two dates.
There was still a week left to the Awakened exam, so Eren decided to train in the meantime.

"So is there any way I can train effectively?"
Rather than trying to train like a maniac, Eren decided to ask the advice of the system.
[Hehe...You asked just the right person...well right thing]

Eren who was drinking the tea almost spilled it out!
"Hey! Are you trying to make me go bald?"
He said out loud screaming at the window floating in front of him.
[What?]
The system was visibly confused by his words as it didn't get why he would go bald doing some exercise.
"You think I don't know that you are trying to make me one punch man? you evil system, I noticed an evil gaze on my hair right from the start! you dare covet by beautiful blond hair?"
He continued screaming at the system.
[Hey basta*d! what the hell are you sporting, ahh..! it's my mistake that I even tried to help you, you dimwit, is there nothing on your head except that hair?]
"See you are still eyeing my hair, let me tell you, you won't even get a strand of nit"

and thus continued the scene of a man at lakeside screaming at the air, the servents in the mansions who saw that closed their eyes pitying the man who has gone mad due to being excessively humiliated, living off his wife...

"Dalton Von Rozental...?....Why is he here'' Grant Ballard, the report that was waiting for Eren in the parking lot said to see a familiar face in the center of the gathering. Dalton von Rozental, the 6th son of the Rozental Family, although not as popular as his other siblings, he was quite a popular person. Dalton is a C- rank awakener, although C-rank may seem good in the eyes of common people, the descendent of Rozental's being in the C-rank even after 8 years of awakening was shameful for the Rozental Family. 'I didn't think there would be a bigger headline than the Awakening of the Toyboy!' It was only before a week that he got a call, informing him that Eren Rozental, the one who was famous as the toy boy of the Rozental family would be participating in next Awakener's association exam for registering himself as a Hunter. Even though Eren is considered a worthless dog by the Rozentals, the World nonetheless deemed him as a part of Rozentals, so it was natural that any new
Dalton von Rozental, a kind and warm person. At least that's how the world viewed him. 'There can't be anything more contrast than that', Thought Scarlet seeing Dalton Von Rozental in midst of the reporters. With black hair and brown eyes, he was quite a good-looking man, who would leave quite a good impression at first sight. But the reality couldn't be any further from that... In reality, He was an outcast among the Rozentals, being born as the second child of Aden Von Rozental's third wife, he was treated as a worthless fool. All the nine children of the Rozental family, except Dalton, were geniuses who excelled in various fields. Amidst Geniuses like them, Dalton was like a rotten apple among the fresh fruits 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
Without saying much after his interest-piquing words, Eren with Scarlet entered the association building.The media exploded as a result of his engrossing words, and numerous predictions concerning what his words implied started to arouse all around the country.While Eren was obvious to any of that, He went on his way to take the Awakener's exam.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.Eren who understood her, turned towards Scarlet, "Wait in the reception, I will be back after the Awakener's exam."Scarlet nodded her head in response, "Good luck with the exam master, I am sure you will get a good score"Eren smiled at her encouraging words and entering the examination center.It was an enormous hall with many chairs placed in an orderly manner at a certain distance apart.Eren was led to his seat and was told to wait until the examiner arrives there.He didn
"I want to take both the tests, Sir" Eren said standing in between the two groups! Joshua who was about to start examining the candidates stopped in his tracks and 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 Toy-boy of the Rozentals?' He thought looking at Eren. '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? ' Joshua glared at Eren thinking that he is using the chance to show off, but Eren 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. Eren nodded his head walking ahead. he could sense cold gazes from other cadets but it wasn't anything new for him who wa
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 loser of the Rozentals could give us such a surprise!''A Rozental is a Rozental, nonetheless!'Be it the candidates or the examiners they were all standing staring at Eren in awe but except for 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 Eren couldn't deceive the eyes of an S-rank hunter!Joshua clearly saw that at the last movement when Eren's fist was about to collide with the machine, he pulled back his hand in an attempt to reduce the impact.Joshua didn't know why Eren did that but...'If the power he displayed while holding back is 1.26 then how much would the score have been if he punched with his full force!!'It definitely would have exceeded t
(Shortly after Eren entered the association, before the awakener exam)Dalton Von Rozental came to where his car was parked, holding his phone in frustration!Earlier when he was about to use the situation to beat up Eren, he got a call from his father's secretary.Kelvin Ballock!He was the secretary of his father, Aden Von Rozental, who had served him for 30 long years.He was not from the Rozental 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 war time of 'Great disaster'.Kelvin's influence on the family was even higher than Rozental'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 Eren, it's your father's words"Nothing more was said and the secretary cut the call after that!
“Do you wanna die?” “…” Dalton’s motion hardened overall and the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. It was not simply because he was frightened by the savage force exuded by the almost B-rank Awakener who appeared before him. It was because it was simply unbelievable for even an S-rank to talk like that in from of Rozental's children. ‘Did I hear it wrongly?’ He couldn’t believe it. It would have been right to say that he was speechless and his brain momentarily frozen because it was so absurd for him. The emotion that followed was of course anger. “Have you gone crazy? a mere dog raised in the family is barking against me? I told my men not to beat you much and now without thanking me for being generous, you are trying to go up against me?” Dalton beckered in anger. “Won’t you answer the question? I asked if you really want to be killed.” “Impudent! you....a mere driver, do you think you’re a bi… Ack-!” Dalton screamed without even being able to determine what hap
Eren's mind raced as he absorbed the revelation that the Fire Dragon, Ugram, was bound by a sacred pact to protect and aid the Pendragon family. The implications were vast and hinted at a deeper conspiracy that had plagued his past life.His thoughts turned to the decline of the Pendragon family in his previous life. He recalled the tragic event that wiped out his entire family, leaving him as the sole survivor. It had been a night of chaos and destruction, with the fire dragon going on a rampage, nearly destroying the empire.But the fire dragon was now telling that it wasn’t the one Eren pondered the events, he couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to the story. The pieces didn't fit together neatly, and there were gaps in his memory, as if some crucial information was intentionally hidden from him."Ugram, I believe there was a traitor among the Pendragon household in my past life," Eren began, his voice firm and resolute. "Someone who betrayed us and manipulated the
"What kind of nonsense... aren't you the one who gave it to that rabbit?" Eren questioned, clearly perplexed by the situation.Mr. Nice guy simply shrugged in response, implying that it didn't really matter. At the moment, what mattered was that their beloved Tori had become a thief."Then, based on the proof of my rank, I should find the rabbit named Tori before my condition runs out," Eren concluded, looking for confirmation from Mr. Nice guy.Mr. Nice guy nodded, confirming Eren's statement. Without wasting any time, Eren mentally prepared himself and felt his body warm up instantly.His condition level was at 98%, and the drop rate was noticeably slow due to his high condition."I have to catch all the rabbits and turn them over," Eren thought determinedly. Although it was a laborious task, he believed it was not impossible.However, he couldn't afford to relax just yet. Time was of the essence, and he needed to make every second count.Just as Eren was about to sprint forward, Mr
When Eren heard that Mr guy was participating in the test, it was the first way that came to mind in Eren’s mind.‘It’s close to impossible for me to find it myself. So, borrow the opponent’s hand again this time.’In fact, it was an operation that could have failed if the opponent was not Mister Guy, a rather talkative evaluator.‘But still, I thought if it’s Mister Guy, he would spit it out at least once in a fatal situation.’In other words, he will surely spit out the word promise when he finds Tori, the situation assumed as the spell.The prediction was completely correct.Of course, it would have been better if it was just before catching Tori, but the situation is not bad now.“See. It’s my victory. No matter how many praiseful situations you’re going to throw in, I also have all the means.”The doubtful Eren, who confirmed that there was no star-shaped dot as a result of flipping the first rabbit’s belly, marked it with a pen and jumped toward the second, feeling anxious for s

13 minutes could feel incredibly long or incredibly short, depending on the person. Mister Guy let out a short sigh as he watched Eren in the distance, struggling to catch and number rabbits all on his own."It's such a shame. This was supposed to be a special test, and there must have been some good growth. But rules are rules," Mister Guy muttered to himself.He began walking towards Eren, his long legs carrying him effortlessly."It seems you misunderstood, Mister Eren. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on your side," he said, disappointment evident in his voice.Mister Guy knew firsthand just how challenging the rabbit-hunting, thief-catching test was. It was even difficult for him, and he had the support of the powerful God who watched over the test from above. Without their help, it would have been impossible to create such a difficult test for an E-Rank promotion evaluation."I didn't expect that person to pay attention to him so soon," Mister Guy thought, setting aside his thoughts a

The fight between the two armor knights, similar in specifications, no, and completely the same, lasted quite a long time.Eren expressed admiration, feeling the passion and romance of the man in the appearance of armor knights who exchanged fists with each other even when their teeth were all broken and their whole bodies were in a state of exhaustion.“Wow, it’s not easy. Not easy.” He really wanted to see who would win, but unfortunately, he couldn’t afford it.‘Condition 18%.’He had to organize it so that he could deliver the final blow.They fought among themselves, but their experience belonged to Eren.Eren, who had unconscionable thoughts, swung a counter punch at each other and approached the ‘Sun Knight’ first among the knights who went backwards with their heads bent.He was struggling to force his upper body, but the speed was quite slow.Thanks to this, Eren, who was quite comfortable and climbed over the knight’s head, asked.“Are you Star Knight?”To be honest, he cou
"Is there any way to bring it down?” Eren thought as he looked around him. “A spacious living room. Tools or situations that could harm the armor knight..." It's difficult to come up with a solution. The empty living room provided the perfect environment for a fair one-on-one match. "What's next? A weapon that only I can use..." It's not that he don't have it. However, using it would require consuming a significant amount of stamina points that I've been saving for future use. "Now is the time to save my stamina. It might be better to bypass the general difficulty level promotion review." [Condition: 56%.] Prolonged consideration seemed to be making the situation naturally worse. "Why create a monster that I can't even defeat? It's a proof of rank?." Of course, it might imply enduring as much difficulty as it presents. Is it right to give up at this point? I don't have to risk my life to clear the extreme difficulty. It wouldn't be a bad idea to go back and choose the norm
The intense battle, though short, was far from easy. The floor was now littered with broken and split cleaning tools. What surprised Eren was that despite the battle, only a small portion of the wallpaper was torn. However, he focused more on swiftly knocking down the cleaning tools, even with his heavier body, to prevent any further attacks."It's good that I've been training consistently," Eren thought, realizing that his body's muscle memory helped him react instinctively, even though his movements were slower and his mind was clouded.The system message displayed his current condition: 32%. It showed an improvement of 2% from before."Knocking down about 50 cleaning tools increased my condition by 2%? It doesn't seem very efficient, but it's better than nothing."He also realized that he couldn't simply walk through the mansion without caution. Every item seemed to be a potential threat, as even cleaning tools were moving.With heightened tension, Eren cautiously made his way thro
