It was my first time hearing it. Se-hyeon stopped in his tracks and stared at Baek Do-hyeon, who was looking at the tip of his sword. I could feel his tone of voice gradually changing. Assimilation with the character was still consuming him.
“Who knows if this is also telepathy?”
“I promise. “I will never bet more than this.”
“… “Let me listen first.”
“What my empire demands from me is a ‘puppet.’ “They want me to lose my senses and become a puppet and quietly stay by their side.”
I wanted to ask why, but I couldn’t open my mouth. This was because for the first time, Baek Do-hyun smiled bitterly with her emotions. He had a bitter expression. It didn’t look like he was going to cry, but it looked like he had tears in his eyes. Sehyun knew that feeling very well.
“At first, I didn’t want to awaken. But… I couldn’t forget it. They’re just doing it because they’re worried that I’ll leave. I want to keep it next to me. I just wanted to find a way. “Because I wanted to face them without losing my senses if possible.”
“When we face each other… Are you going to lose your wits right away?”
“okay. That is what the Archduke and my empire wish for. Losing your senses and being by your side for the rest of your life. Now that they have vaguely learned that I have awakened, they will search for me in every way possible. I am… There is no time.”
“When you awaken… The empire knows… ?”
“Didn’t the child tell you? They say that when you awaken, the Archduke is quick to notice. Also, the child has already had contact with his archduke once.”
I thought I knew everything. He didn’t know anything about El Rix, he thought, but he didn’t. The moment new information came in, Sehyun found herself trembling. Complacency, unfortunately, had bitter consequences.
“… Baek Do-hyun, how do you know that the empire wants that?”
“I was already mentally affected by the Archduke even before I fell here. They say it is the joy of the empire. “There was no manipulation at all.”
Sehyeon’s eyes trembled slightly at those words. Sehyun kissed his lips several times. His tension was enough to make him swallow his saliva.
“to me… “Why are you telling me this?”
“I wonder if you are in the same situation as me.”
In an instant, the scenery of that day flashed through my mind. The person I was that day, trembling and holding the controller in a shabby room.
Those words that made noise. Sehyun had many reasons why she couldn’t go.
The reason I didn’t wake up was because I was scared. It was because I didn’t have the confidence to take responsibility and I didn’t have the confidence to start.
Although I didn’t agree with Baek Do-hyun’s words, I was able to make up my mind. The fact that she was afraid of and wanted to avoid, she was able to face head on.
“… You must never tell anyone what you see today. “If you tell me, I will kill you.”
“You too.”
Sehyeon walked slowly to the center of the training center. Below my field of vision, a transparent awakening window appeared that blinked intermittently. When I dragged it and placed it in the center, it enlarged to the point where most of my field of view was blocked.
Sehyun stretched out her fingertips but faltered in the middle of it. But soon he clenched his molars and stretched out his hand to touch the window that said ‘Yes’.
As soon as I clicked yes, the awakening window scattered into pieces and crumbled into dust. Instead, a deep blue flame began to burn beneath Sehyun’s feet. It didn’t feel hot or burning. But at some point, I felt the air changing.
It felt like the lukewarm air was stabbing me like a cold awl. My body stiffened as the air felt sensitive. Meanwhile, the blue flames gradually engulfed my body like a snake opening its mouth.
The stinging sensation that had been piercing my skin became heavy as something began to tear through my shoulder. Discomfort enveloped my entire body, and my jacket was pulled up behind my back.
Something huge was wriggling on my skinny back. It struggled to break through her skin, tore her clothes, and poked its head out.
Baek Do-hyun’s eyes trembled when he saw that. Those were huge wings. A huge magical power could be felt from the sprouted pure white wings.
The blue flame disappeared when a long breath burst out into the quiet space.
The sight of him exhaling as if he was finally going to survive was dangerous. The way he tightly closed and opened his trembling eyes also looked weak, giving the impression that he was not strong at all.
Baek Do-hyun clicked his tongue without realizing it. I thought he wouldn’t be a combat type, but he was a Celestial, the weakest among the auxiliary types.
The weakest. These referred to the ‘Celestial race’ auxiliary worlds with significantly higher magical power. It was impossible to guess the exact race of the Celestial Race because there were so many different species, but people usually called the race with pure white wings the Celestial Race.
About one in ten were born with high abilities, but most Celestials were of the mediocre type among the auxiliary world and had no special abilities or talents.
The most worth looking at were ‘buff skills’ and ‘recovery skills’, but unless they were really excellent, they weren’t worth showing off. In short, the rarity was extremely low.
‘Maybe it’s the White Empire.’
Although there is an empire of the Celestial Empire that is currently ranked 9th in the world’s top rankings with excellent ‘recovery skills’ and ‘buff skills’, the king there is a woman, so the hypothesis that Se-hyeon is a white-robed empire is wrong.
Among the other empires in the top 50, there is no Celestial Race, so no matter how high you put it, it is said to be outside the top 50.
Baek Do-hyun quietly stared at Se-hyun, who was standing with his golden eyes narrowed with a distraught expression. A Celestial race with a humanoid appearance, with only the eye and hair color changed. As he was the weakest, everything was pale. Even the skin.
“How do I look?”
“I’m weak.”
“I know, but other than that, has your appearance changed?”
Sehyun asked without any change in expression. Baek Do-hyun looked the body up and down irritably and spoke again irritably. Why does it look so weak?
“I am weak from head to toe.”
“Do you want to be a loser? “How many times do you keep making me say it?”
“Ha, only the hair color and eyes changed.”
“In gold?”
“Why are you asking me when you know so well?”
“Then I can’t hide it. Baek Do-hyun, can’t you use telepathy on people?”
“why me?”
“Oh, yes. That’s Okay.”
Sehyun looked down at her trembling fingers. The stinging feeling of the air was still there, but it was gradually getting better, so it seemed like my body was getting used to it. The problem is that tomorrow is the attack day.
“Baek Do-hyun, did you clear the first floor?”
“okay. But, you don’t have to. First of all, the current village chief is dispatched to the tower for ‘magic stones’ rather than ‘strategy’. Our team was lucky. “Because our first opponent was a weak monster and there weren’t many of them.”
“But they told me to get at least 10.”
“Nothing is more important than the price of life, so if you think it’s dangerous, return home. “The village chief won’t say anything either.”
Until the village’s empire level reached LV.2, it was only possible to enter the tower once a day. Whether you fail or succeed, it only happens once, so kings would select and send out vassals who could be attacked. This was because rewards followed strategy. So, the strategy team was usually made up of elite members.
“It seems very difficult. “If Baek Do-hyun is going to whine like this.”
“No, fighting is actually easier. “There is a separate problem.”
Baek Do-hyun tapped his head with his index finger. mental. It was something I felt like I knew and sometimes didn’t know.
“For a fight, it’s enough to just have the skills to prepare. “If only I could overcome my fear.”
“Yes, I will remember it well. So, why don’t you go ahead and get some sleep? Baek Do-hyun, your dark circles are really bad right now.”
Sehyun turned her shoulders, which were stiff from the weight of the wings, and headed to the weapons storage area set up on one side of the training center. He looked through the list of weapons and picked up a well-polished bow. When he saw the elegantly curved bow, he felt the urge to steal it, but it was impossible to take out the training camp weapons.
“Check your stats and skills first.”
“Aren’t you going?”
Sehyeon was measuring the weight of the bow, and only after confirming that it fit comfortably in his hand did he whisper into the air, ‘stat window.’ In an instant, a transparent window like a hologram appeared before his eyes.

[Do Se-hyeon (Awakening) Race: Heavenly Gold LV.1 Grade: D]
-Type auxiliary system
-Attribute bag
-Health 9/9
-Horsepower 30/30
-Attack power 9
-Defense 5
[skill]
-Passive: <Dominance Resistance LV.1>
-Active: <Purification’s Fall LV.1> <Feather Sound LV.1> <Creation of Nothingness LV.1> <Depth of Grace LV.1> <Depth of Trust LV.1>
Sehyeon looked at the stat window that had changed from the past with unimpressed eyes. Even so, the stats didn’t change much except for magic power. Only the magic power, which was 7, increased to 30, and the other values were the same or only increased by about 1.
The important thing here was skill. Passive and active. Passive was a skill that was applied at all times, and active was a skill that demonstrated ability only when you decided to use it.
Sehyun already knew what skills she would gain after awakening. He always started with the same skills.
From then on, active skills and passive skills were expressed differently depending on experience, knowledge, and talent, so the progress of skills changed depending on the footprints left behind. The biggest application was talent.
