''W-what is happening to me?!!"
Jae said, with his voice, echoing.
"That's right! You mutated right bro?"
Ji asked
"Y-yeah... What about it?"
Jae replied.
"Seems like you've awakened bro, it happens after mutating and regaining you're human self, you gain the power of the mutated version of you."
Ji said and Jae is starting to get the gist of it. though he is still confused because yesterday, he was still pretty normal.
"Though you dont awaken right away bro, after regaining your self, you enter the dormant state, they said you need a certain trigger for you to awaken."
Jae thought that the memories of Lucifer might have been that trigger, Ji continued explaining what happened for the 5 months Jae was in a coma, about the ranking system of fallens and the mutators, about the mutator, about "The End", the mutator association and guilds as well as the awakened academy.
"Therefore, I think you should enter the awakened academy bro."
Ji recommended entering the awakened academy to Jae to learn more about his ability, it's the place where mutator enters after awakening, Jae agreed as being a mutator guarantee immediate wealth, as a fallen's soul core would cost billions if sold.
There are 2 type of mutator, combat and non-combat, in combat mutator, there are 5 class, Knight which directly fights in close combat, Assassin, does the role of scouting and killing wounded enemies, they would fight in the frontlines if needed, Mages, fights using long range abilities called spells, Tank, their role is to hold the enemies, also fights with close combat, lastly Buffers, they use their ability to strengten allies, can also be use on theirselves. Then we have non-combat, mutators that uses their abilities in works like contruction, mining, farming, and other works inside the Island.
After becoming a mutator, they are able to use abilities using they're aura, an inner power flowing through they're body, looking like veins.
"Bro, you shouldn't even think of becoming a Mutator Knight, or any combat related, you can just work inside this island bro, it's too dangerous to fight. I-I don't want to lose you again..."
Ji said,
"That's right son, you can just be a miner or a farmer, anything but a combat mutator.."
Jae's mother said, looking worried.
Jae looked at his family's worried faces, but he knows it himself, if he don't become a combat mutator, he won't become stronger, unabling him to protect his family when this paradise of an Island is gone.
"Sorry Mon, dad, Ji, but.. I've decided to do combat."
Jae said.
Though his family persuaded him to change his decision nonstop for the whole day, in the end they agreed and just asked Jae to be a assassin or mage, as scouting as an assassin and being at the backas a mage is the safest, Jae agreed and decided to become an assassin, though unbeknownst to them, assassin is actually one of the most dangerous class next to the tank class.

Day After
Ring Ring Ring Ring~
Jae yawned and turned off the alarm clock.
"It's morning already huh?, I couldn't sleep well as they persuaded me to choose non-combat till midnight, ugh..."
Jae said.
'I often ask my self,
"Who am I? Do I really know my self? What's my dream? Do I even have a dream?",
but now I have an answer.'
Jae thought and he looked at his hand, he clenched it, then he raised his fist and said,
"I'll become stronger, so strong that I can protect my family no matter who the enemy is. That is my dream."
"Allright! Time to enter the awakened academy!"
Knock Knock,
"Bro time to eat breakfast, you shouldn't be late to the entrance exam for the Awakened academy!"
Ji said.
On the first day of a month, the Awakened Academy held a entrance exam for new awakeneds, if you fail, you need to wait another month to enter.
"Alright, I'll just fix my bed."
Jae said.
"Okay!"
Ji replied.
As Jae sat on his bed and was about to stand up he noticed cracks are starting to form from the floor so he just sat down.
"Hmm, alright, I'm confident I can control my power"
'First I'll focus on every flesh of my body, find the source of my power and control it. It's a part of me so it shouldn't be hard, oh, that black fire should be it, then I'll focus more and enter this black fire.'
Jae entered the black fire and he got engulfed by it, as he was seeing nothing but black everywhere, suddenly something showed up, a huge eye, with a blue iris.
"AHH!! Wh-what was that? Wait I can feel it, I can feel my power flowing inside my body, then this must mean..."
Jae took a step and no cracks were formed, he is now able to control his power.
"Nice!"
Jae said and quickly fixed his bed to go down and eat.

"Goodluck son!"
Jae's mother said as he was about to leave the house and go at the Awakened Academy.
"Take care son, WAHH!"
Jae's father said, crying as he's worried about Jae.
"Stop crying dad I'll be okay. We'll be on our way now!"
Ji is also going to her school.
The two took their parents hand to touch their forehead and left for school.
Jae is entering the bus that goes to the Awakened Academy.
"Bye sis, take care okay?"
Jae said.
"Will do bro, goodluck!"
Ji replied.
Jae is now on the way to the Awakened Academy.
'Awakened Academy huh? I wonder what it looks like.'
Jae thought, he finally arrived and now on the front of the gate. The gate was big, about 20ft high and 15 feet wide, it's guarded by two knight looking people, It looked so majestic, like a gate of a palace from a novel I once read, just looking at it, I could tell it was made of sturdy iron. The gate was painted a deep, rich black that seemed almost liquid in the light and adorned with golden accents that added a touch of luxury to the overall design, the word 'Awakened Academy' were also carved on the gate. It was very well made, showing the wealth of the Mutator
Jae and the other awakeneds with him were dazzled from the beauty of the gate alone, and finally, the gate opened and along with their dreams and determination, not knowing what lies ahead at the end of their steps, they entered the Awakened Academy.
