Chapter 16

Ms. Blue left the office to me and Silas, and very thoughtfully closed the door.

"What beast bloodline did you awaken?" Silas asked.

I answered honestly, it was a wild boar.

He gave me a comforting smile.

"That's good," he said.

Don't think I didn't see that! You were secretly laughing just now, weren't you!

"I awakened when I was ten, so I've done some research on awakening," Silas explained. "Actually, many humans carry gene fragments of these beasts in their genes, but most people's special genes won't be expressed."

"The expression of these genes is what we call 'awakening'. Those who awaken will possess a special ability, which I call 'skills' and 'passives'."

I thought for a moment: "It sounds like a game."

"Exactly, but unfortunately the sample size is too small. In all these years, besides myself, you're the only awakened person I've met." His eyes looked at me intensely, like a fox staring at its prey.

I fled in panic.
