Early in the morning, The next day,

After breakfast, Lorien took Saigai to a nearby forest outside the town, after all, he still remembers what happened last time when he awakened

He doesn't want his house to explode or anything like that, so Awakening here away from everyone is the safest choice

"Are you ready?"

Before coming here Lorien already explained to her what an Origin/Talent is, he also took the opportunity to explain to her the existence of demons and the like

But he chose to not talk about other worlds as he thought it's too much for the time being, after all, it was yesterday that she knew demons exists, so, jumping too many steps will only lead to confusion and no real gain

Seeing Saigai nodding and then sitting against a tree, he called out the 'Treasure' inside his body causing a Menu to abruptly emerge in front of him

[Worlds]

[Talent]

He then chose [Talent] which caused the 2 Options to appear only leaving a new one

[Awaken]

'Clicking' on it a familiar feeling appeared allowing Lorien to choose a target to Awaken

So, Without wasting any more time he directly selected Saigai

Lorien was a bit curious about what her Talent is, he knew that she should be very talented as only in this situation will her talent 'Overflow' on its own

From the signs and the observations he did, her talent should be related to 'Luck' or more precisely 'Bad Luck', it may also be something like 'Calamity', 'Tribulation'...

While Lorien was still pondering Saigai's awakening had already begun

As soon as he 'clicked' on [Awaken] a golden light shot through Saiga's Body, directly heading towards her Origin, Her Core of Existence

This of course caused her to instantly lose consciousness

Similar to what happened with Lorien's awakening, as soon as this golden light touched her Origin a chain reaction instantly happened

As if some sort of lock was opened, Scarlet Energy started appearing out of nowhere and then 'spilling' everywhere Towards her Body and Soul

Following the appearance of this Scarlet Energy, the same Golden Energy that helped her awaken receded into her soul to protect her memories and consciousness during the transformation

Now with the Scarlet Energy free to do as it likes it started transforming her body and should in an all-round manner, Inside and outside

Of course all of this needed energy, And Lorien who was observing all of this suddenly noticed the Scarlet Energy spewing out of her body getting scattered everywhere

Lorien could feel the atmosphere around him suddenly shift, as an eerie and mysterious feeling permeated the place

Realizing this he jumped back away from her, afraid if he were to use his power to block it or do something, the awakening will fail or be imperfect, He didnt want to take such a risk

After retreating to a safe distance Lorien continued to observe, and after a couple of moments weird things started to happen

The tree that Saigai was resting on suddenly started withering on its own, this generated some sort of energy which Saigai instantly absorbed

Then small accidents started happening to everything around, a tree a couple of meters away suddenly collapsed falling on a poor squirrel, the grass withered, insects and birds abruptly fell apparently dying for unknown reasons

The more accidents happened the stronger and weirder it became, similar to a snowball effect, there was no logical rule or reason for their death, it's even weirder than the 'Final Destination' Movies

Watching all of this happen and the Scarlet Energy getting absorbed as more misfortunes happened, Lorien couldn't help but worry as even after watching all of this Lorien still couldn't figure out the principle behind her talent

'I hope she can control it, otherwise, it would be a big pain in the ass...'

.

This transformation lasted a full hour with a 'destruction' radius of 250m, Different from Lorien's complete erasure, in this radius, it was as if a disaster struck

After making sure the Awakening is finally over Lorien finally walked toward her

Looking at her Lorien noticed some changes to her outside appearance, her dark hair became even darker as if absorbing all the light around

Her body proportions also changed a bit, becoming more perfect and giving off a more athletic and healthy look while also getting 'fatter' in some places while slimmer in others

All in all, she got much more beautiful and flawless, just looking at her Lorien felt a bit amazed

Tapping lightly on her cheek, Saigai frowned as her eyelids twitched slightly before finally opening her eyes, her red eyes shone brightly giving off a scarlet hue

She looked at Lorien at then at her surroundings in confusion

"Huh? Is it over?"

All she remembered was Lorien asking if she was ready and the this, it all happened in an instant

"Yes, it's other, do you feel anything? did you get any information In your mind?"

Urging her Lorien was a bit anxious to know what her power is, his curiosity finally peaking

Finally, under Lorien's urging, she closed her eyes as she started feeling the changes, and after a couple of minutes she finally opened them again as she spoke with a weird look on her face

"I finally know why I am unlucky

My Origin is Doom"

Hearing this a frown appeared on Lorien's face

'Doom huh... a part of destiny'

"Can you control it?"

This time there was no hesitation as she quickly nodded her head, a happy smile on her face obviously in a very happy mood

She felt a burden as heavy as a mountain finally drop away from her back, she felt free for once

"Yes! I don't have to worry anymore about bad luck"

Lorien genuinely felt happy for her, as it was very obvious that she was always worried about it, and now she can finally put it off

"What else did you gain?"

"I don't know I just feel that I have never been in such a good condition, and... I feel like my body is much stronger than before"

"Hmmm, try to punch me"

Following that Lorien raised his right hand indicating she should punch there

Seeing her still hesitant he rolled his eyes at her

"Don't worry, You cant hurt me"

Getting this confirmation she finally punched his palm with all her strength, but even then Lorien didn't budge a single inch

Feeling the force of the impact he nodded his head and said

"3 times the strength of a normal person

By the way, Did you get any information about how to get stronger? And is there anything else inside your body?"

Hearing this she checked again before responding with a surprised look

"There is some Scarlet energy inside my body, I also feel like whenever a disaster happens be it natural or not, some energy will be produced, I can absorb it to become stronger"

Following that he continued to ask her some questions to get more detailed information, and after a while, he finally came to a conclusion

'Every Awakening is the same, with the one awakened getting a talent, newborn energy, and a way to get stronger

But it appears that there is some difference, after all when I awakened my body jumped to the level of 5times the strength of a normal human

Right now I can't get any more information about the application of her abilities as it needs some trial'

With this thought in mind, he finally spoke again

"Let's go back then, I'll start teaching you martial arts and swordsmanship but you need to develop your ability on your own, all I can do is just give you suggestions"

Hearing this Saigai nodded with a serious look on her face

"I'll try my best!"

Listening to her response Lorien nodded with a smile as both started walking back home
