"Fifth candidate, Jaeger Snyder"
Tension instantly overwhelmed me, I slowly stood up and made my way down to the pulpit, my heart racing with every step l took. When I finally reached it, I placed both my hands on the orb.
Swoosh!
A swirl of darkness engulfed me instantly. "What the hell is going on!"someone shouted as the entire hall erupted into panic. The darkness gradually encroached upon the orb, its color shifting from its usual radiant blue- to complete pitch black hue. "What the hell was happening?" I thought, finally as if in my aid the awakening board appeared in the sky.

"What the hell, he has no techniques?" someome shouted from the congregation, "what kind of resonance is that- bondservant" another voice scoffed mockingly. Murmurs spread across the hall, even Elowen and Vikir stood frozen in shock "bondservant".
**********
Amidst the commotion, I was drawn into another domain, Cold ruled the space- it was pitch black. "Where am I?" I stood there,perplexed, then from the darkness a screen appeared.
[Aspirant welcome!]
What's this? I murmured.
[Your presence has been detected, you have been discovered by the Eyes of the chronicles]
A cold shiver ran down my spine.. "What the hell?, Eyes of the chronicles". I was dumbfounded, as a barrage of thoughts assaulted my mind. But the system wasn't done
[The Eyes of the chronicles question your existence, you will now undergo trial]
Trial.. what the hell is that-
Before I could finish, chains bound my hands and neck, the excruciating pain forced me to my knees, the chains were massive and unyielding, radiating an oppressive weight. After a while, the system popped up again.
[Congratulations!, the Eyes of the chronicles deem your existence worthy]
[Aspirant receive your boon!]
[True name: The origin]
[Divinity: formidable knowledge]
[Technique: Void Thanaturge]
[Description: You're one who manipulates death through emptiness rather than decay- erasing soul, silencing echoes and unmaking or rebirthing what once lived, your technique knows no bound if used properly]
"What the hell is this?", my words failed me. The system continued.
[Flaw: Residing Emptiness]
What residing what- before I could finish, I was brought back to my conscious state, I found myself standing on the pulpit- hands on the orb.
"Boy are you alright?" the black man asked, I took a look at the board for a while, then retorted "I'm fine thank you", I calmly walked back to my seat, but I could feel it- the tingling feeling that the whole hall was staring at me.
"Are you ok?" Elowen asked, "yeah I'm" I retorted, ensuring not to make eye contact.
*************
Sometime later, the ceremony finally came to an end, after being addressed for the last time by the black man- we finally left. Elowen waved me goodbye as she went her way, I reposefully did the same.
Meanwhile, back at the hall
...
"This year's awakeners are quite gifted," a voice said- it was the king and sitting beside was the prime minister.
"Indeed sire".
"Elowen and Vikir, had more potential than I thought" the king said with a grin on his face.
"Hehe..yes indeed" the prime minister replied
"But that boy.. Jaeger Snyder has more potential than both, that swirl of dark hue wasn't ordinary- it's the same as back then…the same as the "Shadow monarch"
"Yes, I'm concerned about the coming future," the king added.
