Broken Tower Saga: The First Swordsman

"Now for the most important part, I'll take long to explain this." A deep weary frown appeared on the brows of the guide. The broad man thought for a moment and continued, "Is there anyone who knows about 'Omega Origin'? You may have heard of it or you may not, but I'm sure you don't know what it is. Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know myself as well. It would take a decent enough designer to explain this.

"To explain Omega Origin, it's a lot of nerdy stuff that would help you in your growth of Mahasayer. Well, calling it mere help is wrong, it's more like all your abilities and skills of Mahasayer would depend on it. You'll know better after assimilating with it. Just remember that it changes the Omega codes of our body according to our will."

Wrik raised an eyebrow, hearing that. He knew all that. The Omega origin would help the user in the awakening, though Wrik didn't know much about this awakening. It should boost a fundamental grasp over the Mahasaying. He had many questions about the Omega origin or the Omega codes, even the Mahasayer; but he chose to not question as the guide looked awful even while explaining the basics.

"There may be many differences and complications, but this should be enough for a general explanation." The guide continued, holding his arm to the chest. "Praise the Maha that you all will be given an Omega origin seed as part of the trial free of cost."

And few of the folks did acclaim to the Maha. Wrik raised a frown at that. He was not the religious type. He glimpsed that the emerald-eyed girl was not either, unlike the neat guy next to her.

"The awakening process will commence in a few moments. After receiving the origin, you will know how magical it is." The man sighed, completing the explanation over the Omega Origin. "Everything you achieve will depend on the rank of the omega origin. The more powerful or perfect you become, the higher the rank will be. So let the awakenings begin."

The guide was rather enthusiastic about the awakening process. Well, he was not the only one. Everyone was the same, even Wrik had goosebumps in his arms, seeing the gentle hue of different colours—red, green, blue, yellow, purple, white—appearance in the room. The one that was assigned to Wrik was pure white. It came straight into his chest, then disappeared within his body.

[User Wrik Everknight is qualified for E grade Omega origin.] A message appeared in the blue window in front of him. He didn't know if 'E' rank was the lowest or not, but it sounds pretty low to him.

"Ooh the awakening process varies from person to person, it may take a few minutes or maybe as long as hours, stay steady as the assimilation continues."

[The Process of awakening may take a while. Omega instructs the User to calm himself down.]

[Starting the process of assimilation with Omega origin.]

Wrik closed his eyes, made his mind calm as still water. No distracting thoughts, no distractions there. He didn't even notice the blue window in front of him.

[0.12%....1.7%.... 5.8%...]

The process was quite fast, the blue screen that showed the progress of the assimilation process was over 50% in seconds, but gradually it slowed down. Wrik felt nothing special at all, not any pleasure, nor any pain over the process. If there's no blue window, he might suspect over the authentication of the process.

[Assimilation 98.6%... 99.2%]

[Assimilation process completed.]

The process ended within a few minutes, but he didn't feel any changes. He looked at others to see if there's any problem there; he sighed in relief to see that everyone was the same.

[User Wrik Everknight, your status window is now available.]

A bigger size of the blue window appeared in front of him, showing all his characteristics and features.

Achievements (0):

OMEGA credits: 5000; Omega Point : 0]

There were 5000 Omega credits in his status window. After checking, Wrik realised it was a bonus from the special ticket. He was quite delighted, though he didn't know how much these 5000 credits were worth. Still, it's better than nothing.

'Who is this Rita Inistler? His inviter? Isn't it Lucas?" The foreign name in the status made him frown. Just when he was about to check more of the matter, he started to feel dizzy: a sharp soul-piercing pain came in his head as if hot steel needles were piercing in his brain. He felt that his end was near.

[ Awakening of innate ability is in process.]

[ Advising the User t....]

Darkness assaulted Him the very next moment, blinding him from all his senses. He could not hear or see anything anymore. All he felt was needles being pinned down in his brain. Just hardly enduring for a few seconds, Wrik passed out.
