After getting the remnant memories, he got to know few other things. " This world at first don't have mana but somehow it appeared here along with the monsters and then the system for awakeners also appeared. But only a handful in hundreds become awakeners, others will be just fodder for the monsters.
Hmm, this boy's name is Kevin Lawton, lost both his parents to monsters. Property snatched away by his relatives, constantly bullied by his cousins in school, can't even get enough food even though he did some part-time jobs and the complete collapse when he saw the result that he can't become an awakener but his cousins became awakeners and then they beat up then he chose to commit suicide ".
" What a pain in the ass. Are families always like this. My cousin himself knowing the gods are no good. He sided with gods and tried to hunt me down ", The demon king who is now Kevin said. He then frowned. Something about this seems like suspicious. He then opened the status window given by the awakener system.

Seems like he lost five of the sins. damn those gods. What remained are only two. Gluttony as name says consumes those targets to get their power, Wrath is a berserk state that grows with his anger and has less side effects compared to berserk. Only some partial fatigue and weakness in body.
And their power also decreased due to travelling to other world through world barrier. Kevin decided to go to awakener association to register. But for now, he will sleep. As Kevin lay on his bed, only the scene of gods surrounding him came to his mind.
Events of his life in the planet far from here and the the path of corruption he took, everything played in his mind. He woke up immediately, but it's already morning by then. Kevin immediately got ready and ran to the awakener association.
It's a tall building with architecture very unlike to the ones he has seen. It's also taller than any castle or stronghold he ever saw. And the fluctuations he is sending from here can be compared to elites of mage division in the kingdom. Although there are quite a few exceptional mana signatures here, he don't want you deal with them yet.
Kevin entered the association and asked," excuse me, where do I take the awakener test ", the girl is on her phone the whole time. She pointed to the crowd that is almost 50 or so members and said," fill out this form and go to that line. When it's your turn, the machine will check if you're awakened. If you're not you'll need to pay for the test, it you're an awakener you'll receive your awakener id ".
Kevin quickly filled the form and stood in the line. After like 40 minutes, he finally reached the exam. There he saw a machine that combines the tech and magic. A lady stood there and said," you just need to place your hand on the machine over here. It'll te if you're an awakened or not ".
Kevin found this interesting. Since status window is a secret for awakeners, no one will show it to others. So this machine will determine if he is an awakened. As Kevin placed his hand there, the machine beeped and a green glow appeared.
The lady said," congratulations! On your awakening Mr Lawton. You can collect your id at the reception desk. Do you wish to join the awakener association or simply ride dungeons as free awakener? ", Kevin said without hesitation," I want to be a free awakener ".
What can the association give him except the id. They can give nothing and the part of loot that he hunted will belong to them. Except tax benefits there is nothing beneficial for him. And the part of loot they took will offset it too. So there is nothing that can benefit in joining the association.
Kevin checked the dungeons for level 1 people. Dungeons can be found around the world. If they're not cleared in time, a dungeon collapse will occur and all creatures will be poured out. Dungeons also have level restriction. Although guilds monopolise few dungeons they can't take everything as they lack awakeners.
Many like to be free from guilds and association because despite the beginning advantages, as time they will realise joining a guild or association basically tied their hands and they can't freely roam or clear dungeons because guilds have teams and clear schedule.
The nearby dungeon is 5 km away. Kevin spent some of the remaining to take a bus. As for the weapon, he only brought a kitchen knife with him. The struggle of poor, what can he say. It's better than nothing. As Kevin reached the destination he saw a military barricade some distance away from the road.
There are many people gathered there. This dungeon has a level cap of 25. Anyone above level 25 won't able to enter this dungeon. Difference between people begins with the innate skill. Like him who got the Gluttony and Wrath authorities which are now turned into skills. Even the lesser Mana Affinity is a rare trait since it's a growth type. Any skill with a level beside is a growth type skill.
As their proficiency rises their level also increases. Lesser Mana Affinity is a tailor made skill for mage type awakeners. Unfortunately any skill is expensive to buy from outside and the tower shop only grant few skills at a time and they only stay like 1 day. If you can't get them at that time then the skill will not appear again in a long time.
That's basically what Kevin heard in school. To buy items from the shop, the points will be required.
