(Author's Note: Hey everyone! I know it's been a while, but I'm back to deliver this quick message about my continuation of this series! As well as an explanation for my sudden disappearance! You see, as I've mentioned before, I have a rather weird brain.... Both my schizophrenia and depression have maid it so that I haven't been feeling like getting out of bed for anything.... I know that's just an excuse, but that's all I can really blame it on.... Well, other than that I haven't had the energy or motivation to play, but I'll try for you guys. You guys are the reason why I want to keep writing, I've met a lot of cool people on here and I want to make you guys happy. And so, with that, let's get into this! Hope you enjoy it! 💜)

Puck wasn't doing anything special for once.
He was given some time to himself after everything that's happened at the Awakener's Bureau....
And, by God, he was going to enjoy it!
So what better way to enjoy your day off than to just lazily relax in a park?!
Which I where we found our protagonist, sitting at a bench in his local park.
It wasn't anything too big or grandiose, but it had a pond, a playground, a few benches and trees scattered about, and a single long winding path that went through the middle of it.
Puck would frequently sit in the park before he became an awakener, especially since it sat only a few blocks away from his apartment.
Plus, it was the only place that he would visit outside the usual store and cafe he visited every now and again for the bare necessities.
The less social interaction the better.
But he must admit, ever since becoming a Awakener, his confidence was back to the point where he didn't feel nervous being in a social environment.
In fact....
He rather enjoyed it.
All the attention and praise he received while being the latest S Ranked awakened....
Was a huge, and much needed, ego boost!
"But despite all that.... I've missed this...." Puck mumbled to himself as he sunk into the old, wooden, park bench.
He closed his eyes and simply enjoyed the summer sun that was beating down on his face.
If he were a normal person, he'd try to avoid the sun at all cost seeing as how it could easily raise one's temperature past the, already scorching, 92°f that it was outside at the moment.
But to an awakener with dragon blood coursing through his veins....
This was nothing!
Puck was literally vibing and couldn't be happier with the time he had by himself.
That was....
Until an unknown shadow suddenly blocked the sun from view, causing him to crack open an eye on confusion.
"Huh....?"
"So you're this so called 'new super rookie'?! Hmf, you don't look like much to me!" An extremely annoying, nasally, and stuck up voice assaulted Puck's ears.
His eyes quickly adjusted as he stared at what could only be described as the exact definition of a textbook Karen.
She had incredibly short blonde hair with black roots, showing that it had clearly been dyed.
She looked to be in her mid to late 40's and had piercing black eyes. She seemed to be wearing basic, navy blue, mage robes with a matching hat and elf like shoes.
A regular looking wooden staff completed her look.
So, all in all, she looked like someone you could mistake as someone on the background of a video.
You know, those guys you will never, and aren't supposed to, remember.
A nobody.
How she wasn't hot in her outfit, Puck will never know....
But what he did know was that she was currently blocking out his heat la-....sun.
Was he a dragon or a lizard....?
Puck's thoughts were cut short as a loud arrogant, and quite boisterous, laugh suddenly erupted from the strange woman.
"You really don't look like much! I bet I could beat you without even using any mana! Just look how lazy you are! When I was your age I wouldn't even dream of relaxing in a park when there are so many dungeons to be raided! I swear! Young people these days don't hav-"
Puck quickly interrupts her by raising a hand, giving her an incredibly annoyed look, his eyebrow twitching every now and again.
"Umm..... Excuse me miss.... But I don't even know you.... And how can you even judge me when....you're here too....?" He spoke evenly, his logical thinking being as clear as day....
But this woman wouldn't have any of it!
Her face went beat red.
She was seething!
You could practically see the steam erupting from her ears as she balled her fists.
"H-How dare you...." She started before pointing an accusing finger in Puck's face. "How dare you, not only refuse the words of your elder and senior awakener, but also have the nerve to talk back when they're trying to give you some actual advice! You even had the nerve to interrupt me when I'm speaking! That's it! I've had enough of you! I'm going to report you to the Awakener's Bureau for.... For!.... For...."
She trailed off, she didn't really have anything she could accuse him of at the moment....
But that wouldn't stop her righteous judgement!
She knew she was in the right!
"For insubordination! That's right! You even had the nerve to look down on me! My sister's, cousin's, best friend's, dad is the head of the Awakener's Bureau! And he'll have your license suspended! That'll teach you to look down on Lisa Puregood! The B Ranked ace mage of the Mole Guild!" She exclaimed, smirking as she thought she won the argument.
"The.... Mole.... Guild?" Puck spoke slowly, as if he couldn't believe what he just heard.
A tic mark formed on his forehead and he began to visibly shake, much to the woman's glee.
She stupidly mistaken his anger and annoyance, as fear.
She stuck her nose into the air and began to rant about how great her guild was, when everyone and their mother knew that the Mold Guild was the most dirty guild known to exist.
Being filled with those tags had relatively rare classes, yet chose to instead use this fact to, not help humanity and clear dungeons, but instead extort things from the government and try to line their pockets with as much money as possible!
Among other things, like selling drugs, making deals in the black market, illegally selling mana stones and dungeon materials to name a few....
And she actually had the nerve to come up to Puck and start talking down to him as if she was God's gift to earth?
Yeah, he wasn't having it....
________________________
The sound of an explosion could be heard throughout the entire city, and by the time Awakener's Bureau finally responded....
All that could be found was a female awakener's body stuck halfway into the ground.
No eye witnesses could confirm what happened.
All they could say is that she got what she deserved....
A report of what happened at the park was sent later that day under the name, "Classified: Puck Met His First Karen".

Author's Note - Yeah~ Yeah~ Yeah~ I know it's short and pretty stupid, but hey! It's all I felt like doing with this writer's block shit....
I just really haven't had the energy to do anything ngl....
Like, I just feel so drained and unmotivated.
And now my brother wants me to make a Patreon for this? Hell no! I'd never!
He says it's for "motivation", but I argue that I'm barely good enough to write this shit for free!
....
Anyway, thanks for reading like always guys!
Sorry for my rant! Love ya~! 💜
