{In the Loinheart's main residence}
In a basement, more than a hundred or so children were there, as they were all the sons and daughters of the Loinheart. On the other end, on a throne carved out of white stone, sat a man in his late 50s. He was the patriarch of the family and the father of these hundred children. He is rumored to be extremely lustful, but the entire room's focus was on the stone in the middle.
"Children of Loinheart, this is the awakening crystal by Place your hands over it. You will awaken your affinity and skill. The minimum pass requirement is B-rank skill, otherwise…" A knight said as he pulled his sword out at the end of his speech, silencing the crowd of children. This is how it is in the Loinheart: the weak were killed, and the strong lived to serve the stronger. As one of the great 4 families, Lionheart maintains military supremacy and only answers to the emperor himself.
As the children move one by one, in the order of their names being called, we land on one child in particular. This boy had a significant difference in clothes from the other kids, as he was Kalab. His mother has been a poor peasant whom his father forced upon her. Later, she gave birth to him and was left before the Lionheart castle naturally with a letter which led to him growing up as one of the 'muts'. Even in them, he was not one of them as they looked at him below their ranking since their mother was there to help them.
All this did not do anything to his eyes, which burned with hatred, as his turn came up, people started to whisper as he walked the blood-drenched stairs up to the crystal. He had many of his bullies' corpses on the stairs as he walked up and touched the crystal with his hand. He was immediately hit with a warmth, it felt comfortable, like something he didn't know existed was filled in him. A single golden screen floated in front of him as it read
[Congratulations, you have been chosen by the Goddess of Light.]
{Back to Luke}
"It's been a couple of days. How did the awakening of the other family heir go?" Luke asked Samuel, who was following behind him. He looked up and said
"All the children of the other family awakened a S-rank or above skill, while most of them awakened a tier 5 or 6 affinity. This generation is being called the Greatest Generation since the founding. Your fame in particular rose to a new high, but" Samuel stopped since he didn't want to crush his friends's confidence, Luke is surprised was a understatement as he was more than surprised he was pissed. He managed to control it and asked
"Continue?"
"A bastard of the Loinheart has awakened a Tier 8 light, Tier 5 Fire, and finally Tier 1 creation. On top of it, he awakened an SSS-rank skill." Samuel said, Luke stood still, his hair covered his eyes as he went out of the family estate into the garden and sat under his tree. Samuel tried to comfort him the best he could, but gave up when Luke said he needed time alone.
"System, What the fuck?" Luke said in anger. 'I spent 2 or more years in that god awful place, with nothing continually going to through that toucher. Only for some entitled kids to gain nearly everything I have. How the fuck is this even fair?' He thought as he was barely containing the energy that threatened to reduce the entire castle into rubble.
[ Calm down, host. I will explain everything.
He forced himself to calm down and said, "Everything, now."
[Every being in this world is connected in some way; a change to one of them causes a change in all of them. It is also known as the butterfly effect, where a butterfly flapping its wings can cause an earthquake in another region. Now, due to your ascension into perfect being, it caused everyone else to awaken to better things.]
Luke made an 'o' with his mouth before, saying, "So, I caused this. All this is fine but what about the destined one, how the fuck does he get so much more than me?"
[Well, host. He is the destined one, and the goddess blessed him with her power, so he became this powerful.]
"If I get stronger in the future, will this also make everyone stronger?" Luke asked one final question, and the system responded with
[No, your title Balance Breaker prevents that.]
'This does help calm my anger, but still, I suffered so much only to get surpassed by some kid who did nothing to gain that power.' Luke thought, but immediately banished that thought. While he sulked in the corner of the tree, something else was taking place in the place of the emperor of the human race. It is not time to check that out yet. Back with Luke, he asked his system, "What else can you do?"
[ I can copy Affinity and, depending on the role, give you a tier and a skill. Essentially, every time you complete a mission, you are given a roll (the number of rolls depends on the difficulty and your accomplishment in that given mission). You can use these rolls to roll a 9-sided dice, which gives you a number related to the tier and skill rank you can get for that Affinity.]
'System, Why did you hid such a important feature when I was meeting my dad? The fuck were you doing then.' Luke mentally screamed at the system, outwardly though he was having a smile some sort of facial faking if you will.
[ This ability is because of your original affinity which is power. As you know there are countless affinity in this world, so many that even the world record gave up on counting them in the beginning of the world. Even, I don't know all the affinity that exits in this world but I do know that there are a few affinity so powerful that only a person at a time could awaken them in the universe, there are 12 affinity that are these powerful. You hold one of them: power and each time you gain these affinity, I get a power up too.]
