Lucas was lost in deep thought, endlessly wondering what kind of element he would awaken. Of course, thinking alone wouldn't change anything—but he couldn't help it. He was excited, silently praying that he would awaken a powerful element.
Then suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he asked aloud,"System, do you know what elements I might be able to awaken?"
Almost immediately, he heard a familiar chime—"DING!"—and the system panel appeared before him.
[System Notification][Known Elements:]
– Fire– Water– Wind– Earth– Ice– Lightning– Light– Darkness– Time– Space
[These are all the elements currently known in this world, Host...][Most people can awaken only one element. Those who awaken more than one are incredibly rare.]
Lucas stared at the panel, seemingly deep in thought.The system's phrasing—"in this world"—caught his attention.Could there be other worlds? he wondered.But speculating wouldn't help much, so he asked directly:
"System, are there other worlds? And if these are the known elements in this world… doesn't that mean there are many more unknown ones?"
Another "DING!" echoed in his mind.
[System Notification][You are not strong enough to access this information, Host...]
[But yes, there are many other elements—Creation, Destruction, Infinity, Chaos, and many others.However, knowing them now is of no benefit to you. Focus on your upcoming Awakening, Host.]
Lucas furrowed his brows as he stared at the screen.He hadn't expected that response.Still, it didn't really matter—he had only asked out of curiosity.And as the system said, he would learn more once he became stronger.
So he shook off the thought and decided to focus on the one thing in front of him: his Awakening.
Yet no matter what he did, he couldn't change his element.So what should I do in the meantime? he wondered.Maybe… he should continue training in swordsmanship and body techniques like the body's previous owner.
But one question continued to echo in his mind:
"What will my element be?"
I won't fail like I did in my old life… right?
In his past life, he had been a loser. Weak. Invisible.He didn't want that anymore.
He wanted strength.He wanted respect.But part of him—deep down—was still afraid.
What if I can't awaken?What if I fail?What if I awaken a useless element?
Thoughts like these clouded his mind.But then, realizing that worrying wouldn't change anything, he cleared his head.
He stepped into the bathroom next to his room, washed up, and after about thirty minutes, came out refreshed. He got dressed and decided to take a walk around the estate.
The moment he stepped outside, a few guards spotted him and greeted him respectfully.
"Good day, young master!"
Lucas gave them a simple wave and continued on his way, heading toward the training hall of the estate.
Thanks to the memories he had absorbed from the body's previous owner, he knew exactly where everything was.
