Ren Kai followed the village children to the central plaza where the annual Mana Awakening Test was held. Every child placed their hands on the crystal orb to reveal their affinity.
When Ren Kai touched it…
The crystal cracked.
Light exploded outward in colors no one in the village had ever seen—gold, black, violet, white, shifting like galaxies. The elders panicked and pulled away.
"This child… he has all affinities…?"
Ren Kai quietly removed his hand, pretending to look confused.
Inside, he was suppressing laughter.
If I used 0.0001% more, the whole crystal would've vaporized.
The village now whispered about him.
A prodigy. A miracle. A chosen one.
But none knew the truth:
This was still only the smallest flicker of his power.
