Jay looked on in horror to a burning building with screaming people running out of it "I. Will. Kill. Him." said Jay with a murderous expression, he had to act quickly though, rushing into the building and carrying out as many people as possible, he could only look on helplessly to the people he couldn't save, pleading for someone to save them.
"This is the burden I have taken on when becoming an awakener, I will see to it myself that this murdered will die in his own flames" Jay cursed under his breath.
Hearing police sirens, Jay swiftly left the scene and went back to his hotel to get some well-needed sleep.

Jay woke up the next morning, determined to catch the Flaming Terror. He turned on the news channel when he suddenly saw himself being praised. "Witness's from last nights fire have acredited their savior to the Night Hawk, a recently awakened S-Tier!" There have been no other traces of him found at the sight.
"Crap!" he murmured under his breath. "He now knows that im here! he will definetely be more cautious the next time!" Jay slowly got out of the hotel and began to explore the city "might as well see what London has to offer".
Jay first visited the associations recruitment building, there he could see the agents of many guilds trying to recruit some players. "come to the holy light guild! the leader is the Celestial Knight himself! We only accept B-Tier awakeners or higher!" "Shut it!" another recruiter yelled back.
Jay could tell from his uniform that he was from the Scarlet Guild. In Britain, there were 6 S-Tier awakeners excluding him and 2 were in international guilds, leaving the other 4 split between the top 3 guilds. The Celestial light guild, led by the Celestial Knight, was the most powerful, with 2 S-Tier awakeners, leading to a power gap with the other 2 guilds, the Scarlet Guild, and the Storm's Eye Guild, eaching having 1 S-Tier awakener.
"You there!" Jay had heard a voice of a recruiter behind him. Turning, Jay saw someone approachig him. "I am recruiter Lee from the Carrion Guild, we may not be at the top level but we do treat our awakeners the best, may I know your tier?" The recruiter asked.
"Sorry but I would rather nor disclose it" Jay replied. "He must be an E-Tier or lower awakener." The recruiter mumbled under his breath, walking away from Jay. Hearing the 1st recruiter, the other recruiters began to ignore Jay, moving on to the different people entering through the door."
Jay then left a building and entered to the one adjacent, the mission building. After the great change, many missions appeared that only awakeners could do, because of the low amount of people that could awaken, even the simplest of these missions were worth a lot of money.
Jay then switched his active talent to the C-Tier Talent: Rock Armor and could feel strength coursing through his fists. "Lets get some money" he grinned.
Jay walked up to the counter and asked "Do you have a mission for a C-Tier?" The receptionist there replied "We only have 1 left and the reward is 5000 credit points, is that ok?"
"Thats enough for now" replied Jay smiling, this was the start of his wealth growth. Jay then recieved his mission and then looked at a giant screen above the receptionists desk. There he could see the top missions and at the top he saw. [Eliminate The Flaming Terror. Reward: 1 Million credit points]
"Woah! Thats very generous of a reward!" Jay could buy an epic tier item with that amount of money, this made him even more determined to kill the criminal.
He soon opened the mission scroll and was surprised how easy it was, "Collect 20 Goblin Fangs! I could literally do that with the flick of my wrist!" he laughed. It was going to be very easy to make money it seemed.

Jay soon arrived at a forest and immediately spotted some goblins, he appeared in a flash, simultaneously slitting the throats of 5 of the goblins. The other goblins, with confused and terrified looks on their faces desperately tried running but were quickly cut down by Jay's dagger.
Jay then harvested their fangs and brought them back to the mission center, claiming the reward and treating himself to a nice dinner. In order to prepare to kill the Flaming Terror, Jay went back to the hotel to begin preparing his gear.
The sun had fully gone down and Jay was about to patrol when Jay heard a crackling sound coming from the floors below. The Flaming Terror was about to burn the building Jay was at. "This bastard is making it easier for me" Jay sneered, turning invisible and leaping out his window, upon landing, he could see a shadowy figure quickly leave the scene.
Jay began to chase the Flaming Terror, racing betweem various buildings. "Activate Shadow Bind and Call Of The Shadows!" murmured Jay. [Decreasing targets speed by 45% and giving him the status condition: Blind]
The Flaming Terror, not being able to see anymore, tripped over himself and allowed Jay to catch up. "You think I will surrender to you?" The murderer sneered, his voice rough. "I will make sure you die in your own flames" Jay responded and the battle began.
The Flaming Terror conjured up a fireball in his hand, throwing it at Jay, who skillfully dodged. "Is this all you can do?!" the Flaming Terror laughed. "I got scared for nothing" Saying that, he took out some bottles filled with a black liquid. "This is how I deal with other awakeners, this is mana infused oil, exploding on contact with fire. This should be more than enough for you" He sneered again. Seeing the magically infused oil, Jay had an idea.
He coated himself in rock armor to distract the criminal while charging up his Shadow ability. "You think rock is going to save you?! You will only die a more painful de-" Flaming terror was cut off as 2 knives burst through the fronts of his shoulders.
