One morning, inside a large wooden house, an old man sat on a wooden chair. In front of him were several children also sitting on wooden chairs.
The children looked at the old man with enthusiasm. The old man smiled and said, "Which story would you like me to read to you?"
One of the children said pleadingly, "Grandpa, I found a book in your room. I read the beginning and liked it. Would you please read it to me?"
The old man asked, smiling, "What is the name of the book?"
A child said, smiling, "The Legend of the Beginning of Change."
The old man was surprised and said, smiling, "It's a wonderful book. I'll read it to you. Wait a moment, I'll go get it."
A child took a book out of his bag. A child said, smiling, "I brought it."
The old man smiled as he held the book. Then everyone began to laugh at the child.
After the laughter subsided, the old man opened the book.
The old man said with a serious face, "I'm going to start reading this book, so listen carefully."
************
In a world filled with mysteries, surprises, and supernatural powers.
On a planet, within a continent, in a country, in a small village, there is a small house.
This house consists of three floors, and three people live in it: my son, a father, and a mother.
The father's name is Riley Z. DeKraft, the mother's name is Rebecca Z. DeKraft, and the son's name is Romeo Z. DeKraft.
"Mom and Dad, hurry, we'll be late," said a little boy about six years old. This boy has white hair, a red left eye, a green right eye, and a handsome face. This boy is Romeo Z. DeKraft, the hero of the story.
"Okay, we're coming, little Romeo," said a man who appeared to be in his twenties as he emerged from one of the rooms. This man has white hair, red eyes, and is about 196 cm tall. He has a muscular body. This man is the father, Riley Z. DeKraft.
"Little Romeo, I'm so excited for today," said a beautiful woman who looked to be in her twenties as she emerged from another room. This woman had blond hair, green eyes, was about 180 cm tall, and had a beautiful body. This woman was his mother, Rebecca Z. De Kraft.
"Dad and Mum, today is the most important day of my life," said Romeo, smiling, his eyes lighting up with excitement.
"Well, let's go, today is the most important day for my dear son," said Riley, carrying Romeo on his shoulder.
"Dad, I'm not little anymore, so put me down," said Romeo, smiling.
"What, little Romeo, now big Romeo," said Rebecca, laughing.
"No, I won't put you down. I'll take you to the wake-up building like this," said Dad, laughing.
"Mum, tell Dad to put me down. He'll make me laugh if he sees that," said Romeo, annoyed.
"If little Romeo becomes big Romeo, I won't allow that," said Rebecca, laughing.
"Mum, well, I'll always be little Romeo, to my mum and dad," said Romeo, annoyed.
Rebecca and Riley both smiled, and Riley put an X on the floor.
X blew his mouth open, annoyed. He looked much nicer than before.
Riley and Rebecca both smiled when they saw this, then left the house.
The ZD family's house is located in the center of the village, so they quickly arrived at the Awakening Building.
Several people were standing in front of the Awakening Building, waiting for it to open.
The Awakening Building consists of three floors. Everyone looked nervously at the Awakening Building, while others looked excitedly at it.
These people came with their children to witness the moment their children awaken their energy.
What is the Awakening Building? What is an Awakening Energy?
The Awakening Building is responsible for helping people awaken their energy.
Everyone in this world can awaken energy; everything, even objects, is made of energy.
Then the door opened, and an old man who appeared to be in his fifties appeared.
The old man said with a serious face, "All children who have reached the age of six will follow."
Then the old man entered the building, followed by the children.
Rebecca said excitedly, "Romeo, you can do it. You're the best."
Riley said with a serious face, "Romeo, remember, you're always the best."
Romeo smiled and looked at his father and mother, saying, "Don't worry, I'm always the best."
Then Romeo headed inside with the other children.
As Romeo entered the building, all the lights came on.
Then the old man stopped in the middle of the building and took out a white cylinder from a ring on one of his fingers.
This cylinder was five meters long. The old man placed the white cylinder on the ground.
The old man said seriously, "This cylinder will measure the talent of a type of energy."
"The talent of a type of energy is divided into five categories: initial, early, middle, late, and peak."
"People who awaken an initial-grade energy type can only use body-enhancing energy. 90% of the world's population possesses this talent."
"While those who awaken an early-grade energy type can use weapon-enhancing energy, only 4% of the world's population possesses this talent."
"People who possess an intermediate-grade energy type can use beast energy. 3% of the world's population possesses this talent."
"Those with a late-level energy talent can use inferior energy, and only 2% of the world's population possesses this talent."
"While those with a peak-level energy talent can use superior energy, only 1% of the world's population possesses this talent."
"Because I'm going to call out names," the old man said in a serious voice.
Then he began calling out the names, one by one. "There are twenty children in this room."
Five children had awakened an early talent, seven had awakened an early talent, five had awakened an average talent, and two had awakened a late talent.
The old man was surprised when he saw this. It was amazing. The ability of a single person with an average talent was rare in villages and towns.
However, here in this village, there were five children with an average talent and two with a late talent.
Delayed talent is rare even in cities.
The old man said, "Tali Romeo Zedd Craft."
Romeo stepped forward with an excited face. The old man looked at Romeo in amazement. He had never seen such a beautiful child in his entire life.
The children looked at Romeo with excitement. Romeo was like a little brother to the children of the village. Everyone in the village loved him very much.
Romeo walked over to the white cylinder and put his hand out. The white cylinder glowed with a colored light from below.
This was a colored light, which indicates a person's talent level.
There were also lines on the cylinder, and these lines represented the talent level.
The colored energy reached the first line, meaning Romeo's talent was of the early level.
Then the colored energy crossed the white line, meaning Romeo's talent was of the early level.
Then he reached the second line and crossed it, meaning his talent was of the average level.
The old man was surprised, "This village has six average-grade talents."
The colored energy directed toward the third white line and crossed it. This meant his talent was of the late-grade level.
"Amazing, this village has three children with late-grade talents," the old man thought in shock.
The colored energy directed toward the top of the white cylinder. The white cylinder was now a colored cylinder.
This meant Romeo had a peak-grade talent.
The old man was surprised, thinking, "This village has a peak-grade talent."
The talent was considered to be of a peak level, rare even among countries, kingdoms, and empires.
Everyone smiled and said, "Little Romeo, you possess a peak level talent. That's amazing."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, we'll go to the second floor."
Then the white cylinder disappeared, entering the ring held by the old man.
Then the old man and the children headed to the second floor.
Then, stopping in the middle of the room, the old man took out a colored ball from the ring. It was the size of a hand.
The old man said with a serious face, "This is a ball measuring the talent of a person with an affinity for energy."
"There are thirteen degrees: brown, green, blue, red, purple, black, yellow, gold, pink, orange, gray, silver, and white."
"Energy affinity is the most important thing for an energy user. It determines the time it takes to learn an energy, as well as the number of energy types."
Then the old man summoned the children. Two of the children had obtained a red talent, meaning they could use four types of energy.
Six of the children had obtained a purple talent, meaning they could use five types of energy.
Three of the children had a black talent, meaning they could use six types of energy.
Four of the children had a yellow talent, meaning they could use seven types of energy.
Two of the children had a gold talent, meaning they could use eight types of energy.
Two of the children also had a pink talent, meaning they could use nine types of energy.
Then it was Romeo's turn. The old man looked at him with gratitude. "Will this child awaken the orange or gray talent?" the old man began to wonder.
Romeo grabbed the colored ball, and then it began to change colors.
Brown: Many people have this talent; you can use one type of energy.
Green: Many people also have this talent; you can use two types of energy.
Blue: Many people also have this talent; you can use three types of energy.
Red is possessed by people of the Knight Rank, and you can use four types of energy.
Purple is possessed by people of the Commander Rank, and you can use five types of energy.
Black is possessed by people of the General Rank, and you can use six types of energy.
Yellow is possessed by people of the Marquis Rank, and you can use seven types of energy.
Gold is possessed by people of the Baron Rank, and you can use eight types of energy.
Pink is possessed by people of the Earl Rank, and you can use nine types of energy.
Orange, possessed by people of the rank of Kunth, can use ten types of energy.
Gray, possessed by people of the rank of Duke, can use 11 types of energy.
Silver, possessed by people of the rank of King, Emperor, Head of State, Head of a Sect, Head of a Clan, or Head of an Organization, can use 12 types of energy.
White, possessed by rare people—you might call them Legends or Great Ones—can use thirteen types of energy, and that's the limit.
When the ball turned orange, it surprised everyone. Then it turned gray, then silver, and finally white.
Then a white light emanated from the ball and shot into the sky.
Around the world, eight columns of white rays pierced the sky.
Eight people with white talents had been awakened.
