Awakening.
Awakening commonly occurs to S-rank Players, but there has been reports that even F-ranks can Awaken. Awakening also occurs when the Player is filled a sense that has guided them. That is when they have hit their limit and forces themselves to surpass it.
Awakening boost the stats of Players sufficiently, but the most important thing is the Awakened System.
Like it sounds, the Awakened System is just an upgraded version of the original System that is given to a Player.
Only six million, one hundred thousand, forty-three hundred, three hundred and forty-people have Awakened across the world.
There are stages of this occurrence.
First Stage Awakening, Second Stage Awakening and Third Stage Awakening.
After this there is Ascension.
First Stage Ascension, Second Stage Ascension and Third Stage Ascension.

Kris awoke from his deep slumber. He was back at his home, the old unfinished constructed building.
"I'm back?" Kris inquired to himself.
He got up to his feet and started to look around. He was then hit with shock.
"Huh?" Kris inquired. "Every thing is gone!?"
All the decorations, items, etc were all missing. The room was entirely empty.
"Scratching his head, Kris asked once more, "But how? I'm sure their aren't people here."
Kris continued, ".. Unless.. I'm wrong."
He then took a sit on the rough and cold floor.
"Whenever, they were junk anyway," said Kris, getting over his worry. "What I want to see now is this Awakened System."

Kris's power right now could scale up to almost city level power.
On Kris's interface was something new. On the left was a 3D model of himself while his Status was on the right side of it.
Below that was his Status was his Attributes. There were two different stats there as well. Fortune and Specialty.
On the right side was on empty face, but above was three sections. Items, Equipments, Weapons. And above that was inventory.
"This is new," said Kris while observing the interface.
Kris pressed Weapons and all the weapons he had gathered appeared.
[Inventory]
[Weapons]
[Broken Knife] [Efriet] [Eden] [Damned Piercer] [Great Sword of Black Lava] [Spear of Black Ember] [Lord's Saya] [Transcendent]

"Holy shit!" Kris exclaimed I'm surprise but still with his iconic plain face. "It has ten million attack?"
He then checked Items.

[None]
Then he checked Equipment.
[Equipment]
[Rikudou] [Black Ether Armor] [Black Ether Gauntlets] [Black Ether Legging] [Black Ether Greaves] [Dark Demon Queen's Necklace] [Dark Demon King's Ring]
Whenever he checked a section, it would take up the space below to show them.
"Hmm?" Kris inquired once again.
Looking a his left, he saw on arrow that pointed down. It was just under his stats.
He pressed it and then his Skills showed up.
[Skills]
[Inferno Shield] [Pyro Bullet] [Cryo Manipulation] [Cryo Field] [Omniscient Soul Appraisal] [Unnatural Strength] [Great Mana Breath] [Instant Stamina] [Instantaneous Acceleration] [Divine Healing Touch] [Weapon Emperor] [Monarch Wielder] [Weapon Guard] [Divine Aura] [Divine Weapon Aura] [Mana Manipulation] [A Thousand Blade Slashes]
"Damn, I have quite a deep bag."
"I guess that is all too it," said Kris as he laid down on the concrete floor. "There's just more things and everythings more organized."
"Wait."
At the top right, Kris spotted something.
It was a little button that said Shop.
As he was curious, he clicked it.
[Shop]
[0 Zin]
[Items:
Dagger of Shattered Shadows.
Hell Blade.
Cryomancer Crossbow.
Torch of Ilios.
...]
He continued to scroll and scroll. Since the interface told him before hand that he couldn't buy because he possessed zero Zin.
"Now, what is this Zin thing?" Kris inquired to himself.
"Wow, cool," said Kris who was caught of guard.
As of the System knew of what he needed. A description of the currency popped up.
[Information]
[Description: Zin is the only currency that the System accepts. In exchange for this currency, the user can buy products from the Shop. In order to get Zin you most kill Monsters and complete Quest.]
With that knew found knowledge, Kris rised to his feet.
He glanced to the side to look outside. Outdoors was a group of people that marched down the street. Their were almost a hundred, may two hundred.
With interest, Kris watched the people move down the street.
Kris suddenly inquired, "Where did they come from?"
Looking closely, Kris saw one of the members of the gigantic group holding something that belonged him. A brown backpack.
Kris narrowed his eyes with an unknown emotion showing in his eyes.
"..."
From when he was kid, Kris had no friends. That was because who his mother was.
She was an international Hunter. A Hunter back in the days that were at the rank of double or triple S. Hunters that could take on Calamity-Grade threats that were at least Continent Level of power.
Wherever Kris went, people would gaze upon him with envy and jealousy. That was what Kris hated the most.
Kris loved in a neighborhood that no else was. Only his mother, father and servants were the people he knew. To be more exact, he was spoiled, but his mother didn't let it show.
Only his father treated him differently. A man Kris came to know as an illegal immigrant that his mother married because she thought he was husband. To be more exact now, his mother was a billionaire and his father was once a homeless guy.
His mother, who wanted Kris to grow up and become an even bigger star than her, made Kris study everything about the world, but almost nothing about the System.
Kris hadn't found about this System until his parents died.
While reading books about Monsters, Magic and Equipment, Kris found an interest. An interest in weapons.
Kris who saw comic, manga and movies that his father showed him was full of action, but one hardly used a gun. Kris thought why would someone fight with their fist when they had a knife? Why learn martial arts when all you need was a katana?
Kris made a mindset for himself. That he wouldn't work but find the easiest and simplest route through life. That was why he loved weapons so much. He didn't have to exercise all day and months and years to get stronger. All he had to do was have a weapon and he'll instantly be on top of the food chain.
Guns were made by humans. It was the most costless and effective way to kill someone. That was what Kris believed.
"..."
Walking from out of the building, he went down stairs. He had purposely did so when the mob of people were gone.
He probably did it for two things.
He was suspicious of them or it was because he was naked and had nothing on his home to cover himself.
It was probably the second.
Walking the down the street he had memorized for now eleven years, Kris found a clothing store.
Kris didn't have a fashionable mind, but he knew that he had to wear something.
Going inside, he heard groans or the undead.
Looking around, Kris saw them to encompass him. But he didn't mind.
Right now, Human-Grade Monsters that weren't even Street Level were not a threat to him.
[User has activate the Skill: Inferno Shield]
[Inferno Shield has been activated]
A sphere of blazing orange flames enclosed him. He was safe from the Rottens deadly touch.
While walking around, Kris thought, "What should I get for my birthday?"
Kris had now turned seventeen. It had on his ninth day in the realm of Dark Hell.
"I don't really want anything," said Kris while he deactivated his Skill so he pick up the clothing he wished to wear.
"But I can do some activities."
Picking up the a black shirt, a black flimsy jacket and a grey colored pants, Kris put them on.
"Oh, I know what I could do," said Kris plainly with a plain face. "I could just break the all spawns in the city. That take my mind of things."
That was Kris's new goal.
