Chapter 2 - What Just Happened?

Aria woke up with a gasp. Her body felt strangely heavy as she tried to sit up. Looking around, she realized that she was lying on the pavement of the park sidewalk.

"What just happened? Did I pass out just now?"

As Aria tried to remember what happened before she blacked out, a translucent, computer-like screen appeared right before her eyes. She froze, studying the window like object hovering within her field of vision.

[ Welcome Aria Knight, to the Celestial Engine System.]

Aria couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the screen for about a minute. She started shaking her head side to side, then up and down. The window in her vision followed wherever her eyes went with perfect precision.

"Huh strange, I haven't seen anything like this before. Wait! Did I maybe just awaken?!?!"

It finally dawned on Aria that perhaps what she had just experienced was her awakening. While it didn't seem like a "normal" awakening, like the ones she has heard about on the news or internet, it must be related. Aria focused on the screen in her vision once more, more information began to appear.

[ Host Aria has been fused with the system which has unlocked the dormant power of the hosts ancestral mythological bloodlines. ]

[ Due to the immense power of the hosts bloodlines, output has been reduced to 0.01% of total capacity to allow for the physical body of the host to adapt. ]

Aria's jaw dropped at what she was reading. It seems she had indeed awakened, but isn't 0.01% too weak? She might as well still be a normal human. Aria got up from the ground and began walking home once again, looking over the strange display attached to her vision. Aria began to experiment, imagining the screen disappearing. The screen would then proceed to do so. She imagined the screen appearing, and then it would pop back up again.

"So it's linked to my thoughts it seems"

After experimenting with the screen a bit more, Aria focused on the stats tab. A page of numbers and information appeared before her eyes.

"This is just like one of those video games Ben plays." Aria was thinking out loud.

Aria noticed a "Skills" tab at the top of the screen and when she focused on it, the screen changed with different information showing up.

[ Skills ]

[ Celestial Healing ]

[ Light Manipulation ]

[ Titans Might ]

[ Mythic Mimic ]

Aria focused and brought up the skills descriptions.

The amount of HP healed per second will increase as skill levels up. Ap cost may vary, depending on the severity of the wound being healed. ]

Requires user to touch another awakened for 5 seconds to copy a random ability from their bloodline. Doesn't cost any (AP) but has a cool down of 7 days before skill can be used again. ]

Aria was left speechless at the information she was reading, these were insane abilities in her opinion, and this was only 0.01% of her potential???
