Chapter 2 - [ Hero? ]

With the appearance of a dinosaur-looking creature and with its scream, a huge shockwave was generated. Most of the buildings and houses within 1km shattered like fragile glass while people get pushed back to no one knows where.

As I regain a little bit of consciousness from that shockwave, all I can hear is people screaming as they run, seeing tall buildings and houses crumble, a raging fire that was spreading, and mysterious creatures feasting on the humans that they caught. A scene that you can only witness in apocalyptic fantasy novels and movies is now happening in front of him.

" F-fuckk...Runnn!!!! "

I screamed as I get up from my lying position.

I looked for my family but they can't be seen anywhere in my vicinity. While I was looking for them, I saw my sister getting chased by a dwarf-looking creature.

As she's screaming for help while running away from the creature, the concrete debris of a crumbling house nearby crushed her legs.

I saw this and tried running into her but my body won't move an inch. I'm scared but after witnessing my sister in that state, I tried to overcome the fear I had. I saw a mildly thick tree branch near me and stabbed my legs using it and now running towards my sister.

" Get the hell away from my Sister!!! "

Blinded by my rage and fear of losing my sister, I stabbed the creature mercilessly in the face until it can't even be recognized by any means.

As I regain my rationality, I hurriedly look at my sister's location and saw her lying unconsciously.

" Looks like she lost consciousness because of shock and blood loss. Good thing I made it in time. "

I said as I check her vitals and removed the surrounding scattered debris crushing her legs.

As I slowly put her on my back so that I can carry her away from this place. A floating strange looking text suddenly emerged in front of me saying

•[ Oh hero hailed from their birthplace. Your courage has given you the qualifications to be given the power to slay evil creatures invading your world. ]•

" What the hell is this? "

I'm perplexed by the unusual phenomenon happening within my view while I continue to run away from the chaotic scene happening right now.

I ran through the forest and entered the secret playhouse our Dad created for us when we were younger.

" I didn't imagine the day that I'll return to this place in this kind of situation. "

I murmured as I gently put my sister on the bed.

" I remember that there's a first aid kit here somewhere, I think it's on that small cabinet. "

I searched through the small cabinet looking for a first aid kit. I took off my shirt and ripped it off, soaked it in the water basin, and used it to clean the cuts and bruises on her legs.

I applied the first aid to my sister and wrapped it with a part of my ripped clothes to stop the bleeding somehow and did the same thing to myself.

" I just hope she'll wake up soon. "

I murmured.

" Where did my Mom and Dad got separated? I wish they got out of that chaos safely."

" Now that I think about it, what's with this weird-looking thing that's been hanging around my view for a while? "

Looking at this floating text and panel, it looks similar to those game panels I see on the games I play. I started to scroll down on the panel and saw this text

[ • Would you like to proceed to an aptitude test to determine your Awakening? • ]

" Damn, I guess I'm the main character now huh? Just kidding ~ "

I jokingly told myself as I press the [•Yes•] Button.

A sudden surge of blinding light filled my vision and a feeling of my soul being sucked into a strange dimension overwhelmed me.

After a few moments, the light slowly disappeared and an overwhelming sight of outer space welcomed me.

" Wow... "

I'm lost for words at the scene I'm witnessing. Did I just fly in outer space for real?

[ • Initiating process • • • • ]

' I almost forgot that I'm here for my awakening '

[ •Start!• ]

As the process of awakening starts, the feeling of my soul being ripped and torn apart piece by piece conquers me. My soul, we're getting invaded by this mysterious overwhelming feeling.

' I feel like dying and losing my consciousness any second now but I can't even think properly '

After the awakening process, I regain my strength focusing on my vision.

" Fucking hell, that doesn't feel good at all! I feel like I almost died you know! "

I shouted as a notification panel pops up in front of me.

[ • Congratulations! You are now an Awakened! • ]

I looked at the panel that looks like a character window and was surprised at what I saw

" A Music...Hero? "
