On the eve of the year 2076, a game suddenly descended into reality. Countless accompanied by hordes of invaded the human world. Powerful creatures ruthlessly slaughtered humans, placing humanity on the brink of extinction. However alongside destruction also came divine talents bestowed upon humans. The divine talents came along with classes which were broken down into five characteristics: Warrior, Mage, Healer, Assassin, Archer. The more powerful your class and talent are, the harder it is to complete class advancement quests.
Humans began to awaken as mighty "Hunters" and eventually rescued the world from the monstrous creatures. From then on a new order dawned upon the world. The strong were revered and survival of the fittest became the law. Therefore, hunters had to continously grow stronger to solidify their positions.
In pursuit of greater power and wealth, formidable hunters delved into various dungeons, challenging bosses, acquiring treasures, and leveling up, marking the beginning of... The Era Of Ascending Gods.
Hunter Square Temple, a temple used to awaken humans as hunters.
"HUFF. HUFF. HUFF" Heavy breathing could be as a young man ran through the stairs of the Hunter Square Temple, with his heart filled anticipation.
Today is not only the day Lycius turns sixteen years old, but also the day he receives his divine talent and class.
As he rushed through the entrance of the the temple, he was welcomeed with a terrifying amount of people, people the reciprocated the same anxious emotions as him.
"I hope my talent atleast ensures the mage or warrior class."
"Man I'm sure my talent is of the highest of grades... The SSS-Ranked talent."
"Dude you know chances of awakening a talent that high are less than 1%"
"Man, awakening a SSS-Ranked talent ensures reaching Godhood"
Countless chatter resonated throughout the enormous temple hall.
***After Hours of waiting in line***
With the use of voice amplifing skills, a priestess announced throughout the hall."Lycius Daligold, proceed to the 'Awakening room!"
As stood from the butt-killing chair. 'Finally,' He thought, as a seemingly young, beautiful priestess approached him. She politely greeted him and instructed him to follow her.
With her guidance, they entered an exquisite yet simple room. The sides of the room were decorated with statues of the Goddess Redea, the statues alone emanated an aura of divinity and elegance. The potent aura could be felt by even an unawakened person such as Lycius.
"Place your hand of the crystal and relax your mind," The Priestess instructed, instantly snapping Lycius out of his thoughts.
As he looked at the crystal, the feeling of admiration evaporated, rather replaced by nervousness. Anyone would be nervous if they were in his position.
In this awakened world, awakening one's class and talent, is considered the most crucial and important aspect in one's life. Your class and talent decide your position in today's world. Today will be the day he receives one of the titles: Trash, Ordinary, Uncommon, Rare, Magical, Epic, Legendary or a Demi-God.
He patiently waited as a state of calmness to infiltrated his mind.
*Whim... Hhaa*
The priestess felt no-need to rush Lycius, since she understood that his moment is both simple and hard.
Sensing that his breathing routines had helped him calm down, he approached the crystal and placed the palm of his hands, on it.
By doing so, his consciousness retracted from his body. And wondered off to a extraordinarily, unimaginably beautiful space.
Shining stars were all over the illusioned world. Lycius had the feeling that these weren't just stars but the beings that assigned talents.
Just he thought, the stars transparently disappeared and humanoid beings manifested. The beings appeared to be made of darkness that was brightened up by stars all over their bodies.
And like how he felt the beings watched him, the beings felt a pair of eyes that imposed on their conversations. The human before them wasn't supposed to be able to see them, no human is able to penetrate the illusion of the Illusionist God. With that thought in mind, they didn't suspect Lycius.
The Illusionist God had casted an illusion spell that was supposed to make Lycius see nothing but the glowing orb that would bestow a talents upon the humans.
The glowing orb was the resultant of the magical prowess of the ancient gods. The ancient gods had combined their magical prowess to create a orb that would instill talents upon their followers.
Lycius was so focus of the beings before him, thst he didn't even notice his conscious merge with the glowing orb. Neither did the beings notice it due to their focus in trying to find which Godly being had intruded their space.
"MAGICAL ABSORPTION COMPLETE..." The words resonating from an unseen direction, stripped Lycius of his focus.
He inspected his surroundings, checking if there was anyone talking to him and surprisingly there was none.
Before he could try to mentally investigate where that voice came from, in a split second he's world went and dark, then light again.
His surroundings were yet-again back to the awakening room. The priestess that had accompanied him, fell to her knees as she couldn't comprehend what was before her.
"A.a.a.a.a. SSS-Class!" She exclaimed.
"I never thought there'd would be such a talented person amongst these youngsters" The joy in her voice was palpable.
"And why does he appear more handsome than before??" She murmured to herself.
Surprised by the compliment and blushes apparent on the priestess, Lycius decides to check if it has anything to do with the apparent holographic blue screen that was before him.

___________________________________
Lycius couldn't fathom what was before his eyes, he couldn't understand why he had two talents. Its commonly known that during your awakening, you'd only awaken a single talent.
'Well I ain't complaining,' Lycius felt his face twist in expression to the overwhelming excitement that seemed to increase with each passing second.
"Congratulations on your Awakening, Hunter." The Priestess's words sounded more like a dream rather than reality. Not everyone gets to awaken so, those that do are considered lucky - the Ordinary.
*BOOM*
An explosive sound resonated, as the priestess's body roughly hit the ground.
The priestess felt like her body was shattered to a million pieces then reconstructed, only for the process to repeat again.
There was only one person that could make her experience this excruciating feeling...A really, really scary person...High Priestess Theresa.
