Lumian lay in his bed .
His thoughts ran through his trecherous brain until he found what he was looking for .
What came next was a spasm that made him puke. The flaw had done its work .
"Damnit" Lumian thought . Though His search had brought him what he wanted . An answer to a question .
"With me being fateless If I become a significant force in the future then fate will be in ruins. I should really not mess with it. Ruining fate is Sunny's job , Me doing it will mess up the plot"
"I can't mess up the timeline." Messing up the
original plot of Shadow Slave was not a good choice . " It's better just being a side character It's not like I have a Divine Aspect to back myself up " Lumian thought .
" The Best way to do that would be to just Stear Clear of any major events and characters "
After calming down . Lumian thought of his future .
What lay ahead was his Awakened life and of course money .
And money here meant credits and he wanted lots of them .
There were alot of job and life prospects for an awakened.
You can always join the government which will put any aspect to its best use . While there may be a upfront bonus for joining it meant lots and lots of endless work .
They were always the great clans however forcefully joining them without a Offer and good abilities meant being a menial worker in the dream realm .
These two both offered security from being attacked and looted from other awakened but they also took away your freedom .
There were always the most popular option of being independent .
You could essentially have many careers.
Awakened with a strength Aspect and fighting ability were good for the post of a security or bodyguard however it was an highly unpopular job within the youth with not much respect and being a corporate slave .
Working in Specific industrial and service sectors either for the government and private firm with niche aspects was a good prospect .
He fit somewhat into the category with his healing ability .
"I Don't want to be a full time but I can work part time as a healer , healers were always treated as a very important resource . Well Even Sunny originally wanted to be a healer "
He had originally plans to write lots of research papers and being a researcher in the academy . But with his flaw now he did not really want to put his brain to test .
" Well I can try " .
His fantasy came to halt as he heard the groaning if his stomach , it had been groaning endlessly since his Awakening now too much he finally decide to go to the cafeteria .
_______________________________________
Lumian woke up with a yawn ,he was happy he did not have wierd Nightmares. He had realized one more thing . It was impossible to have dreams in the Dream realm . So it was now confirmed that his Nightmares in the dream realm was his flaw messing with his brain and making him having a delusion .
Flaws were things that required a specific situation to happen to work . If he meditated and kept his brain in good condition and adapted to it his flaws effects could be liven with .
...
He made his way through the academy . His scheduled interview of his doing in the Dream realm had come .
He already knew that trying to be a deadbeat or keeping silence was not gonna really be a good effort here . Sara already knew about everything and as much he knew her , she was not type to be a secretive fellow . Infact there was no need to hide much.
Soon,he reached the interview office sitting inside was a stern man. Though not the one who had done his sleeper interview .
The man wasted no time starting the interview . After some questions asking about his well being . He was asked of his kill count . For only spending something a few days more than a week in the Dream Realm it was not much . Only hovering somewhere along the line 20 to 30 all of them Dormant except the last one. Compared to the fellows in the forgotten shore who constantly slew Awakened ones. His achievements were meager. But in the broader awakened quota he should be considered exceptional .
When he briefly told about his battle with the awakened one .
He was congratulated while the stern interview even identified the creature on the spot and told Lumian about its characteristics with a happy smile . Clearly he was more interested in this this than the corporate job of being an interrogator .
Apparently The Creature was called " Darth strainer " Whose name was not known to him since the beheader of the thing was Sara. According to the Stern Man it main thing was ambushes but with a knowledge full awakened would have a good chance to avoid chance of perishing at its hands . Firstly it intelligence was in the foot .
Most things could be used at distractions and bait to get it off your trail .
Secondly It's ability to freeze objects did not have a good range only a few meters and was clearly were very weak on a awakened .
Lastly all one had to do was climb to a high place since the creature did not posses the gift of climbing .
Even at its main things It's kind was split into two . One kind was decent at tracking but would run off to the prey at sight .Lumian encountered such a one It's tactic not worthy of even called ambushed as the thing had signified It's presence a huge distance away . The other being not good at tracking but a silent lunger .
Lumian was initially all happy at the knowledge imparted to him but the man went rambling and even went off topic for half an hour . Eventually the talkative man gestured for to the interview to end .
Next morning Lumian was handed some temporary papers and told that a government emissary or agent would come to hand over his official citizenship.
Apparently they consider a newly awakened kid to be too destabilized and won't let me go out without the paperwork of the government done.
The same evening he had a visitor . Small talk at the academy had told him about rumors that for the government to offer newly awakened Jobs they would send A beautiful woman for a male and an handsome man for a female . Some even told him that the more accomplished an awakened the higher the Beaty and handsomeness.
Now that he saw a vixen woman out at the doorfront . He wondered if the rumors had credit .
"Well too bad for them Vixens are not my type"
He was quickly invited to a table in the cafeteria and handed his citizenship card. It was of the 6th tier.
Apparently awakened would get citizenship ranked from 5 to 7 . An awakened citizenship of did not matter of whichever rank had special benefits or should I say features that made to be any restrictions placed on any non adult to be removed.
Yeah be mauled by a nightmare creature and die defending people of a gate and still be a minor.
As for 7th class citizenship, apparently they were only given to masters, extravagant rich people or someone given special status to the government or of course someone who had good job for the government or government awakened achieving a certain merit target .
And then after the rambling about the 50 possible benefits he would to join the government and a polite refusal the government officer finally left .
Apparently, he was classified as a 1st class asset . Few awakened was categorized in this section so he got a 6th tier membership of this world .
Next morning he was fully packed and made his stroll off the academy headed for home.
