It has been 15 years since Sage was born into this world.
"Wake up Sage. If you don't wake up in the next one minute, I'm going to tell Mother about the fifty cakes you secretly ate last month."
Sage's eyes instantly snapped open. "What cakes?... No, I didn't eat the cakes!"
Walter stared at him, Sage stared back at Walter.
Then Walter sighed. "Exactly. I was just joking."
Sage sat up on his bed and stretched his arms.
"Crackk... Crackk..." His bones sounded like someone breaking the furniture.
The sunlight pouring through the bedroom window illuminated his handsome face. Golden hair, black eyes. He was at least six feet tall. A face that made half the noble girls in the capital lose their ability to speak. But unfortunately, he ruined his own personality.
"By the way, good morning, my little brother." "Ahhhn!"
Walter looked at him. "Hello, what little brother. You forgot we are twins?"
Sage looked back at him. "But I'm older than you by a minute, my little bro."
Walter rubbed his forehead. After fifteen years, he still couldn't understand how his brother's brain functioned.
Sage jumped out of his bed. "Bro, today was an important day for us!"
The academy entrance examination...
Walter lifted his hands and rested them on Sage's shoulders. "I know Sage, so hurry up and get ready. We're running late for the academy entrance test!"
Sage lifted Walter's hands off his shoulders and lowered them. "I know Walter. Alright, I'm off to get ready."
Then Sage and Walter both left to get ready.
At the age of fifteen, in this world everyone received their awakening.
Some people awakened elemental magic, some got awakened sword talents, while some people awakened and got blessed by from gods.
And a lucky few people awakened legendary powers. Sage expected to awaken something shit powers. After all, he was the King of Hell, the strongest character in the novel. Sage muttered, "Today's the day I get some fucked up powers."
Walter nodded. "Yes, it is the day."
Sage grinned. "So ready to see my legendary awakening."
Walter looked at him, then looked away, and then looked back at Sage. "So please don't embarrass our family."
A few hours later, they arrived at the spot. High above them was a floating island, the legendary academy Aetherion. The greatest academy on the continent, perhaps the entire world. Gigantic towers pierced the clouds.
monsters flying through the sky.
Thousands of students gathered around the entrance. Nobles, commoners, geniuses, future legends, future villains.
Sage knew many of them, after all he had written most of them. "Fuck man, this feels weird."
Walter glanced at him. "What happened to you Sage?"
Sage smiled awkwardly. "Nothing Walter." How could he explain? Imagine creating fictional characters, then one day meeting them in real life. It was unbelievably weird.
His eyes got through the crowd. Then froze. A blonde girl stood near a fountain. Hot, beautiful, sexy, elegant. Sage almost choked to see him. "No way, why she was here."
Walter stopped and looked at Sage. "What happened? Why are you stopped?"
Sage whispered, "That girl..."
Walter asked, "Which girl? She wasn't supposed to be here."
Walter frowned. Sage shut his mouth.
An hour later, thousands of students gathered around a big crystal. The crystal stood nearly twenty meters tall. An old professor came forward. His voice echoed across the entire academy, "Welcome students. The awakening ceremony will now begin."
Excitement and nervousness spread through the students. Even Sage felt it, but a little bit. The professor continued, "Place your hand upon the crystal. It will analyze your potential."
Students began stepping forward one after another. Some students got fire affinity. Some got wind affinity, while some got earth manipulation. One talented noble student awakened an A-Rank sword talent.
He witnessed it all through the glowing crystal. Then professor called Walter. Walter arrived at the crystal and put his hand on the crystal.
While some students whispered, "He is Walter Baltrie. Second son of House Baltrie. One of the greatest young geniuses in the kingdom."
Sage shouted loudly, "Don't embarrass our family, idiot!"
Walter didn't even turn around. He focused on the awakening.
"BOOOOM" golden light exploded from the crystal.
The moment Walter's palm touched the crystal, everything changed. A magnificent golden glow burst forth. It unleashed a golden radiance. The energy wave was so intense that professors slipped from their chairs in panic, and the students watched on in shock. Some text appeared on the crystal.
*Divine affinity unlocked.*
*S-Rank Talent Obtained.*
*Child of Heaven.*
Sage blinked one time. Twice. Three times. Then he screamed, "What S-Rank talent! He unlocked Heaven's Blessings!"
Some students muttered, "Of course he is a young genius..."
Walter looked calm as if awakening an S-Rank talent was normal for him. Sage pointed at him, "That's my brother. Uhhh."
Several minutes later, the students finally calmed. Then the professor announced, "Next, come Sage Baltie!"
Sage stood up and stepped forward to the crystal, confidently. "Time for the King of Hell, the greatest man alive in the world!"
He placed his hand on the crystal. The crowd waited. Nothing happened. Sage blinked. "Huhhh."
A full minute passed. Still nothing happened.
"I think this crystal is broken," Sage said.
Professor stepped forward to Sage. He checked the crystal.
The professor looked uncomfortable. "Zero affinity, Sage. Sorry for that, but you have zero talent."
Sage stood frozen. The professor coughed. "You did not awaken anything."
Students laughed. "Hahaha. Zero affinity. He's useless. The brother of a heavenly genius!"
Sage got emotional damage.
30 minutes later, after the awakening ceremony, Sage sat alone on a training field. His mood was terrible. He got the worst awakening in academy history. He picked up a rock, then threw it in the air.
A second later... "Boooomm!" The clouds got broken. Sage was surprised. Birds flew away in panic.
He stared at his hand, then at the clouds. "No way. I thought I was powerless. But what was that?"
Then he lifted his hand and punched in the air. A normal punch. "Boooom!"
The shockwave of his punch traveled across 4 kilometers. Clouds split apart.
Sage called out, "Hey, shit, system! What was that?"
System's blue screen appeared in front of his eyes:
`[Ding!]
[Hidden Talent Detected]
[Ding!]
[Talent successfully registered in system]
[Infinite Strength]`
Sage looked at the system. "Infinite Strength. I exactly know that the King of Hell has no Infinite Strength skill. So why do I have this?"
From the God of the Universe, gods discuss about Sage's awakening. "So Ignis has finally awakened his power!"
