'Frustrated'"Man! How come other people can spit flames of sea, command tides of beast, and shake the earth! How can I, Rov, can't do a thing! This is the new world! The magic world."
The frustrated young man is named Rov. He kicked tables and chairs, without much force of course, evenly till the leg hit his toe.
'Rolling on the ground due to the pain in his toe'
After the rage subsided and the pain stopped, Rov looked at the ceiling and remembered the awakening ceremony.
'Smug'"Move weaklings, the great ol' mighty Rov will awaken a Legendary Class and you will be my first subjects."
Rov smugly declared in front of his class.
Some were baffled.
'In disbelief'"How can he be so narcissistic and brazen as if he will be getting a legendary class?"
Murmurs filled the room.
'With full support'"Yeah! Rov will awaken the legendary class."
'Enabling the attitude'"Yeah that's right! Hahaha!"
Rov's circle of friends laughed merrily while pointing their fingers at Rov.
Rov only smirked as if they believed him.
-After the ceremony-
Rov's jaw was wide open as he saw the result on the screen in front of him.
[No Class detected]
-End of the flashback-
'Embarrassed'"Cursed heavens! Claire was even watching. I saw her smile and her disappointment before and after."
Rov thought of something and opened his phone.
[Look guys! Seraphine awakened a rare class Priest.]
[Who wanna go with us? We are going to celebrate at Julio's house!]
[Me!]
[Count me in!]
[Hey! Don't forget about me!]
...
'Relief'"Sigh... They forgot about me I guess."
After the relief, he then felt disappointed. He was forgotten just like that, even after his brazen declaration.
'Ding'
'Curious'From Claire.
[Hi Rov, I just wanna say that even if you didn't awaken any class, there's still hope for the future so keep fighting! Fighting Emoji]
Looking and reading the message, Rov felt at ease.
For him, Claire was the love of his life. When he saw her the first time, he fell in love. Rov couldn't quite point it out, but even when he saw other beautiful girls, he couldn't feel the click the way he felt for Claire. It was like a unique attraction and he classified it as love.
Rov approached Claire from time to time throughout the 4 years they were classmates.
He just talked about his likes or dislikes. If he found a match with Claire's likes or dislikes, he would dig deep into that topic, keeping himself entertained—and her.
Today he planned to confess if he got a rare talent or better, but it turned out to be the worst—not common, but none. Just none.
His plans shattered, and so did his future too.
He took his cellphone and opened the conversation with Claire.
He looked at the history. He laughed, blushed, felt frustrated, and sad while he scrolled.
Then after the "hello Claire" greetings from him in the first year, he had decided.
He went to the settings and hit delete conversation.
A dream where Rov and Claire shattered.
'Frustration, anger, sadness and despair'"I will never be good for you, my love. Claire. For I was useless."
Tears dropped on his face and he immediately cleaned it up.
'Trying to think straight'"Hold yourself, Rov. You were never her lover in the first place. Stop being delusional!"
Rov sighed, and after the days passed,
He processed his graduation papers and started thinking about the future he never considered.
A future where he is just a common person.
-After some time-
Rov was hired at the company where they processed monster parts as food, and he was assigned as the inventory checker.
The pay was good—3,000 silver per month—because the location was literally just a few kilometers near the Wild Zone. But he never complained, because reality hit him so hard he was begging to have a job at some point.
He also got kicked out by his parents when he turned 19, five months after he graduated.
His parents gave him money to survive on his own for five years.
Although the money should've lasted five years, he had concerns about the future, so he tried to find a job. But even after two months, nothing.
Then he tried a riskier job—this one, located near the Wild Zone. That's why it's risky. And that's why he's here.
'Roar of the beast a few kilometers away.'
Rov's body shivered at the random roars of beasts in the Wilds during the middle of the night.
He had concerns, of course. But he steeled his mind and reminded himself that this location was protected by Awakened.
'At ease.'
That's right. This area is protec—
chomp!
The ground rumbled as the huge, gigantic maw of a True Earth Dragon swallowed the entire storage facility—leaving a hole half a kilometer wide.
bang!
Two kilometers away, from the top of a tree, a man with a magical gun was smirking.
He had blond hair, sunglasses, and was dressed like a high-ranking military officer.
His gun looked like small pillars of stone glued together by a blue energy and covered in runes.
The blast from it was like a high-intensity laser beam that melted anything—and the target was the True Dragon.
sizzle
'in pain'growl!
The True Earth Dragon growled midair as it received the blast near its heart. It inflicted great pain, to the point that the dragon used mana to dive faster into its tunnel.
'smug'"This Runic gun penetrated and obliterated a ten-meter radius hole in its chest. Plus, it has a special ability: Restrict Space."
The blond man carefully inspected the gun with great interest.
'robotic'"Sir, the Capturing team has arrived."
The blond man clicked his tongue but still packed up and left.
7 humans appeared with the help of a 'magic spell: Mass Teleport' by the mage in the middle.
The 7 humans are one of the top 100 in the human rankings and they have one goal.
To capture the gigantic beast above.
The True Earth Dragon was pissed because a human punctured his chest and now 7 humans dared to face him?
The whole field became a battleground where the True Earth Dragon and High ranked humans fought.
The wounded True Earth Dragon flew in the air and decided that the humans will burn alongside the forest.
'Terrified'
''Eze! Incoming Dragon's Breath!"
Eze was a supporter in the back line that wore a Battle Dress that is enchanted to boost her support abilities.
She is the only one that has no ability for flying.
So her teammates unleashed some defensive spells to protect her.
After all in the top 1000 of the human ranking list, there are only 6 supports.
Eze was one of them.
The land burned, and the sky turned red.
The fiery storm continued till the True Dragon saw an opportunity to escape.
The signature ability of a dragon is truly terrifying.
After the terror, the True Earth Dragon opened the ground and entered.
Then the massive 1-kilometer hole in the ground closed, leaving the mission of the 7 high ranked humans failed.

In the hideout of Snow Eagle
'Frustrated'
"THEY ONLY HAD ONE JOB!"
A man with a C shaped mustached dressed in a high ranking military uniform was rampaging and yelling at the people around him.
In this mission, the have to expose a high leveled artifact and a bait that only True Dragons love, a high concentration of mana that is stored in the warehouse.
As for Rov—he was swallowed along the high concentration mana artifact.
On his very first day at work, he was too enthusiastic.
Little did he know, he was merely bait for an underground operation to lure and kill the dragon. After all, he was classless. Who would mourn him?
Leaving him the only victim of the True Earth Dragon.
-
Deep in 9th layer underground, a dungeon cave was carved by the Earth Dragon. The walls pulsed faintly with earth magic, lit by glowing algae and plants. Clear streams ran through the stone, and creatures lurked in the shadows.
Whether big or small, all bowed to the one true Earth Dragon.
But the Earth Dragon in question arrived with a massive hole, nearly twenty meters wide, torn near its heart.
Looking closely, a human figure dangled from the upper edge of the wound. He was unconscious, but still alive and breathing.
Writhing in pain, the dragon swallowed a towering, sky-blue glowing tree—nearly two stories tall—in a single chomp.
Seeing this, the creatures panicked and scattered into the darkness.But the pain would not stop, so the dragon decided to sleep it off.
The dangling human shifted because of the dragon's movements and now hung closer to its heart.
Little did the dragon know, it is the last sleep it will take.
