Chapter 1: Prologue
Itâs been a year since dungeon portals suddenly started opening and monsters began appearing.
A year since elves arrived, claiming to be helpers.
And a year since Awakened Ones, capable of suppressing portals, became like winning the lottery.
Thus, a year has passed since the world changed dramatically.
And⦠the first day of every month is the day new Awakened Ones appear.
âThis is crazy.â
I sipped from my can of beer and glanced at the time under my monitor.
11:55.
Every online forum was flooded with posts like, "Please let me Awaken!" and "Oh, great energy of Gemini!"
âJune 1st is Gemini, huh? Right. Oh, great energy of Gemini, let me become an Awakened One too!â
I wasnât expecting much and took another sip of beer.
Itâs like buying a lottery ticketâsure, your heart races a little, but you donât actually believe youâll win.
[You have Awakened as a member of the Order Faction.]
[Under the blessing of Pollux, the God of Gemini, you have gained the status of an F-rank Awakened One within the Domain of Order.]
[The quest system, status window, and skill window have been activated.]
[You are now permitted to enter F-rank dungeon portals.]
A semi-transparent message appeared before my eyes.
Huh?
I didnât drink that much, but Iâm already seeing things?
A hallucination, perhaps.
This reminds me of the time I really wanted to Awakenâback then, I also saw something like this.
Thereâs even a syndrome called the status window hallucination.
In times like this, the best thing to do isâ¦
âStatus window.â
If nothing pops up, itâs just a hallucination.
[Name - Kim Jiho
Class - NOVICE
Guardian - Pollux, the God of Gemini
Title - None
Level - 1
Strength - 5, Agility - 5, Magic - 5]
Huh?
This hallucination is way too realistic.
Normally, when I saw these things drunk, itâd be something like Class - Sword Saint with Strength 100, Agility 100, and Magic 100.
But this time, all my stats are stuck at 5⦠wow.
From what Iâve read online, starting stats are usually between 5 and 10.
Looks like mine are beautifully set at 5 across the board.
Is this hallucinationâs theme starting in the gutter or what?

Huh? A gift?
By KJH?
That clumsy handwritingâ¦
Why does it feel so familiar?
It kind of looks like my own signature...
[Would you like to open the gift?]
I have no idea what it is, but if someoneâs giving you something, you take it.
âYes.â
