Tomorrow, Max would be turning 16, the day of his awakening, deciding his future. He knew he would awaken but he still felt nervous and excited about tomorrow. He had been going on hunting with his father for about two or three times a week, bringing back one or two beasts every time. He learned many things about the behavior, and types of beasts, he learned the different patterns beasts would use to fight, how to defend and counterattack. He could now easily fight a level1 beast without first injuring it with a trap but he didn't do it because of incurring injuries that Anastasia would scold him over.
He was also constantly having the same dream, with it getting clearer everyday he went to hunt and killed a beast. He dreamt about being with a beautiful girl, she had long silver hair that flowed down like a waterfall. her pink, plump lips that had a captivating smile when she looked at him. She had smooth and pale skin that looked like it glowed at sunrise. Her brown eyes looked as if those of a child who still hadn't lost his innocence. She had the hips, the curves, the assets, the face every man would dream of. She was his wife, Alina, she was his everything. She was simply the reason he stayed sane after being betrayed by everyone he knew, his family, friends, comrades. She stayed when all left from his life. That is until the awakening of my world, Sylos, arrived, beasts flooded out from rifts that tore through space, they destroyed everything they saw in their path. But the day that these rifts arrived so did the power to cultivate, the people of all age had the power to cultivate and grow stronger and increase their lifespan.
After ten years, by the time the cultivator rose to sufficient power, only a single continent remained not outrun by the beasts. Aurelius, the person he dreamt of, managed to reach the last stage of foundation realm. That was where the dream always cut off, but Max always felt it, he had lost someone very important in the awakening, his wife she head died. He didn't know after how much time later she would die, but she would die.
Max believed the memories were of the being he has the bloodline of, Aurelius. He doesn't how much time later he would become him, but he would. Today that dream was as clear as ice.' Maybe I'll see something more after awakening. KARLOS did say I would start to unlock my bloodline when I awaken, but there is still time for me to awaken, is it something else?'
Max kept on thinking about his dream till noon when Anastasia called him for lunch. Max saw his father looking at him with a stern look when he sat down on the chair." From tomorrow till you turn 18, you can have a chance to awaken if you have a cultivation manual. Do you wish to become a cultivator?" Alaric suddenly asked Max with a serious look." Yes, I want to become a cultivator." Max replied with determined look.
" I'll give you a cultivation manual tomorrow. If you awaken, you will start to see a screen with info such as your name, age, bloodline, physique, cultivation technique, and all the techniques you have learned. the screen is provided to all cultivators of all worlds in the universe, it is called the universal status." Alaric said to Max, surprising the boy as he hadn't heard anything about the so called universal status.
" It is not common knowledge in this village because it barely has 10 cultivators. So, don't be so surprised." Alaric stopped at that, not sharing information about his bloodline just in case Max didn't awaken.
Anastasia came out of the kitchen with the lunch. It was the meat of a wolf at level 2 that Max and Alaric had managed to kill after fighting together. The meat was perfectly seasoned and grilled just the way Max liked it." Tomorrow might be your big day, so eat up." Anastasia told Max while smiling seeing him so happy with the meat.
After eating the meat, Max left the house to meet with the twins. There was still 2 weeks before they both turned 16. The twins were excited to see whether Max would awaken or not.
After hanging out with twins till it was nearly sunset, Max returned home, ate dinner, laid on his bed wondered how would it feel to finally cultivate after all this wait and finally unlock his realm, know about his bloodline, physique, what cultivation method would KARLOS give him. Max had a lot of things going on in his mind that he couldn't stop thinking about. Well he didn't have to think for long as he heard someone's voice in his mind when it was nearly midnight.
