At the end of the school day, Mike went to the library to study. Mike-1 kept cultivating so there wasn't anything interesting going on. He sat down on a seat at one of the tables and due to him being distracted he didn't notice that someone was already studying there.

  When he put down his book, opened it, and looked up. He saw the campus belle looking at him with an eyebrow raised. Shit, this was the crush of all men in Kaifeng college, he couldn't be caught sitting face to face with this person. If they thought he was trying to do something, he would probably get death threats.

  The men here were pretty extreme, especially when it came to the three roses of Kaifeng. And this woman was one of them. He closed his book, stood up, pushed the chair back which created a squeak that attracted the attention of the people nearby. Pretending nothing happened, Mike walked to another table and sat down. He handled that pretty well.

  He studied for a while before going to his apartment. After eating dinner and cleaning up he prepared to ze off and py games. But a doorbell interrupted his pns. It turned out to Rain.

  "Dude, do you know you're going viral?" Rain asked.

  "What do you mean?"

  "Check this out" Rain showed Mike his phone. It was pying a video titled 'Handsome and Rich students tries to hit on Cindra Klein but fails miserably and pys it cool' it had the content he expected it to.

  "What the hell? How did they even get that footage? But handsome, I always thought I looked average"

  "Dude, you have the face of a model, I wish I had genetics like yours"

  "For reals? I look pretty normal don't I"

  "You think that because you're surrounded by attractive people" Rain said, "But that's not what I'm here for" Rain took out a small blue stone that was ruby like. "Keep it close to you while you're sleeping" He threw it to Mike.

  "You came here to give me this?"

  "Yup, that's it" Rain went to the door to leave "Remember keep it close to you while you're sleeping"

  "What the hell am I supposed to do with this?" Mike muttered to himself. He inspected the stone but couldn't figure anything out. Suddenly he was alerted by the system.

  [Absorbing energy source. Progress to Lv 2 - 0.01%]

  Woah, he didn't expect this. Now he knew how to level up but how did Rain get a hold of something like this, he would ask him ter. He continued to absorb the stone but once the progress reached 2% the stone lost its color and became very brittle. He closed his palm, and the stone crumbled into dust.

  Mike messaged Rain. "Do you have any more of that stone? I already used it up."

  "How? Did you already awaken?"

  "Awaken? What the hell is that?"

  "When you gain a superpower, that's what that means"

  "I have something like that, but I don't think it's what you mean"

  "What? I'll come over to talk, just wait"

  Mike waited for Rain by pying a match of ML. His doorbell rang, he opened the door expecting rain, but he saw Emper instead. Another close friend that was supposed to be on vacation. He even blocked incoming messages and calls.

  "Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?" Mike asked.

  Emper sighed "I am, but it's not really a vacation. I just came by to drop off this" he gave Mike a blue stone. "When you sleep keep it close to you"

  "Rain already gave me one these"

  "What? He did?" Emper said. "Damn I thought I was the only one who awakened out of the three of us. Since you already have one, can I have that back"

  "Nah, I already used that one up, since Rain already 'awakened', he won't be needing the stone so can I, have it?"

  "If you can absorb the stone that means you've already awakened which means you can earn your own stones, and I need it too so give it back"

  "We agreed a long time ago, no takesies backsies"

  "That was when we were eight, it doesn't apply now"

  Rain walked in on them "What're you guys arguing about?"

  "Mike's being selfish again and won't give me back the stone"

  "Rain wants to take back our no takesies backsies agreement"

  "What? Let us in and we'll talk on the couch" Mike led them towards the couch and sat down. Rain spoke first "So everyone here's awakened?"

  "Yes" Emper said.

  "I think so," Mike responded.

  "Ok first off, Mike how did you awaken?"

  "I won a lottery"

  Emper and Rain spoke simultaneously "What? You can't awaken by winning the lottery" they side eyed each other "Jinx, Double Jinx, Draw"

  "Well, I did, but how did you guys awaken?"

  "I awakened naturally, once I woke up, I had the ability to control water and like an idiot I posted it online and got recruited by the government" Rain said.

  "For reals, I thought you were just fucking around when you said that" Mike said "Emper how about you?"

  "I awakened through a ritual; my family is apparently an ancient one that took part in the st great war" Emper said. "But the ritual only works on our family members."

  "Damn, so does that mean everybody in your family has superpowers?" Rain said.

  "Yes" Emper responded "The 'vacation' was just an excuse to train us and prepare us for what's to come. It was pretty shitty"

  "What's the st great war though?" Mark asked.

  "I don't know. You know how I get when they talk about history, I just zone out. But back to you though, how did you actually awaken"

  "I told you; I won a lottery that gave me a power, kind of"

  "What power?"

  "Well, I can-" Mark was interrupted by a system notification.

  "Telling others of detailed information about the system will alert Chaos who will kill you after torturing you for 10,000,000,000,000,000,000.69 years'"

  "I apparently can't say, or I'll die after being tortured"

  "What? If that's the case your ability must be really op" Rain said.

  "Well, it's technically not doing anything for now" Mike said. Since it said detailed information this much should be okay.

  "So, you can't tell us anything about something that's not doing anything" Emper said.

  "Basically, yeah"

  "If that's the case give me back my stone" Emper said.

  "Too te, already absorbed it" Mike said, throwing a bck stone to Emper.
