More than an hour had passed. I leaned back in my chair, stretching my stiff neck as I closed the book. My eyes burned from scanning page after page, but the information had sunk in.
So this was how it worked.
Becoming a Resonator required Awakening—a process that unlocked one's ability to sense and channel Aura. And there were two ways it could happen.
1. Natural Awakening.
This method was rare, almost mythical.
The book described it as an "exceedingly rare phenomenon, occurring in perhaps one in ten million individuals." It could happen at any age—infancy, adolescence, even old age—and was often triggered by extreme stress, life-or-death situations, or profound emotional turmoil.
"Those who awaken naturally," the text stated, "are said to possess an innate harmony with Aura, often reaching heights of power unattainable to others. Their resonance is purer and more potent than those awakened through ceremony."
A smirk tugged at my lips.
Of course.
