1 minute of awkward silence befall into the group. But for Rajat it can be said it is the longest 1 minute because as soon as his eyes fall on the female staffs of the hotel his trait started to act upon it. He quickly bit his tongue inside his mouth to break out of his state and turned around to avoid being seen face to face.
"Everyone I decided to go solo and can't continue with you all. Stay alive and well " Rajat was first to break the silence and quickly took his leave. Though everyone said few words of protest to get him to stay , he didn't stop.
"Tsk!! Stories can't be trusted at this point." said Rajat coming outside of the hotel as clear sky and high quality fresh air greeted him. After taking a deep breath of fresh he quickly made his way towards his home. His home is in east direction from the hotel exactly 800miter away. Technically it should have been taken no more than 1min. if he run towards home with his improved agility but what greeted him on the road are 10 level 5-8 zombies and 15 wild fox from level 4 to 6 delaying his time for 4 more minutes.

Rajat desided not to use unassigned SP(stat point) for now as he finally reached his home. Looking at the 2 story house his memory of getting kicked out of the house started to appear on his mind again. How his brother falsely accused him on peeping on his wife when she was changing dress and made father and mother Kick him out. But the original story should have been his brother intentionally half opened the door and put the blame on him. Even though his sister-in-law want to prove his innocence her voice cut down by her husband.
Letting the feeling settled down Rajat entered the house internally vowing 'l will only check whether they are alive or dead. If they are all ok I will took my leave as they are not my family anymore'.
Inside the house was totally silent there is fresh blood on some places of the floor. His heart tighten and an anxious feeling appear inside him as he stepped inside the common room.
"Hey Lipika are you ok? Where is everyone?" Asked Rajat when he saw his sister-in-law sitting on the sofa.
When Rajat approch her upon not getting any answer he got stunned. Lipika is asleep now and It appears that before falling asleep she must have been really crying. Rajat desided to wait for her to wake up at the same time re made a light lunch from the foods on the kitchen.
" *Sob* *sob* brother-in-law why why all this happened? Dipak suddenly turned into a zombie and attacked mother-in-law and father-in-law and I can't save them. I am only able to kill him later......*sob*..." After 1 hours when Lipika woke up he forcefully grab Rajat into tight hug and started to cry. Rajat don't know what to say to calm her down so he could only wait for her to calm down.
"Brother-in-law can you give me a tight hug?" Said Lipika as she already hugging him tightly.
As soon as she said that Rajat's hormones gone to overflow again as he could feel her hugging him. His Lust trait activated again but this time he forcefully stopped himself from becoming a beast. 'I will not become some kind of sex demon I am me and will only do this kind of things someone I love not lust' rajat greeted his teeth and vowed internally.

Rajat did not hear any warning as his entire focus is concentrated on Lipika. After a slight pause Rajat too hug Lipika tightly. His little brother erected inside his parents and poking Lipika's lower belly. Lipika shuddered suddenly but she didn't separate from Rajat and if Rajat could see her face right now he will be stunned because she has a slight smile on her face when his little brother poked her belly. Actually she is a very smart and mature woman for her age 22 that's why it didn't cause too much mental damage from the deaths earlier and she ofcourse slightly like his brother-in-law for his silent and lonely type personality but didn't said to anyone.
" Let's eat the lunch I made and let's go out and level up for our servival" said Rajat after 5 minutes when they seperated.
"Let's hunt some zombies and wild creatures" said Rajat After 30 minutes getting ready.
"Yup! This is thrilling I don't know how many people dancing in excitement of this apocalyptic change " Lipika said casually.
"And you should call me by my name as here is no family anymore. Hey what about your family?" Asked Rajat.

"Ok I will call you Rajat hehe!! . And as for my family I called them they are ok with my big brother so I am free now " after saying that two of them started hunting.

"Hey I told you right? See the results of not focusing on any other skills?" Asked Lipika with a smug smile on her face.
"Yeah I have to say your idea was very effective . Now I also think we should learn external skills after learning our own elements and how to use mana" agreed Rajat helplessly.
In this 2 days 2 of them repeatedly used their weapons to refine their skills as Rajat gained "intermediate spear mastery" and Lipika gained "intermediate dagger mastery".
Rajat tried to use mana based skill "flash" multiple times but every time they got the same notification.
[ Warning! Currently you can't use mana. Wait for World Awakening to complete first then you can learn about mana pathways from world tower[tutorial tower] and learn how to use mana ]
[ Time remaining for the world to fully awakened and tower to appear - 8 hours ]
In this 2 days one more interesting thing happened that is the two of them started to get close but Rajat's "lust" trait would activate every now and then. He could only forcefully swallow as he don't want to do improper things he won't be in control of and he could feel inside him a hidden power opposite of Lust helping him resisting it every time.
7 hours before complete World Awakening-
"Hey Rajat I have been watching this days. You know we look great together and I am falling in love with you." Said Lipika suddenly while eating an Apple they took out from an empty supermarket catching Rajat by surprise.
"You know I ... I can't do that because I have a trait called 'lust' and I doing everything in my power to resist it " replied Rajat in deep sorrow.
"So that's why you were acting like that in this two days? Did I ever stop you from touching me? We will share our strength and weakness together. I had made up my mind from the start. If you are having a problem with Lust we can find more girls you know the world changed " Said Lipika while hugging Rajat from behind, her mind had already made up and don't want back away. The world is not the old world anymore where money regain supreme, now she can finally be with the one she loved in her heart.
"I.." Now Rajat's mind is in Chaos. His words struck on his throat like a chunk of metal. He don't know what to say as Lust started to clouding his mind ....
[ Title " clear heart " making your mind clear]
[ Warning!! A hidden power inside you resisting Lust]
When suddenly his mind became clear he turned towards Lipika "give me an hour or two ok? I have to do something very important ok?" Said Rajat lightly along with a light kiss on Lipika's plump cherry lips and then back away.
"Ok help me buddy" Said Rajat as he actively started to interact with that hidden power inside . He has decided to fight against lust with this hidden power of his. He don't know yet but this single decision is going to shake the human race.
[Your hidden trait his awakening it will clash with your first trait ]
[Congratulations!! Your hidden trait "chastity" have been awakened ]
[Chastity: it's a symbol of innocence and purity. Allow you to untouched by corruption.]
Again the trait only half matches with Rajat. Yes he is pure , still virgin but is he inosent?
[ Warning!! Two opposing trait clashing against each other for domination please choose a side of their clash could lead to your death ]
"You can do it darling" said Lipika inside her heart as from the outside view or rather from Lipika's perspective white and black two opposing power clashing inside his body. She could only feel pain inside his heart from watching Rajat in painfully expression.
Suddenly Rajat's mind gone blank from intense clash and when opened his eyes again he found himself himself in a different place with a transparent spirit form.
"Where am I? is it inside my soul? Like soul space of something?" He asked out loud but he is the only one present here. This place is fully coloured grey and he could feel very deep connection from here as it is his own home.
"Why is a chain doing here?" Suddenly he turned to his right side and noticed there is a pitch black chain clinging to this place tightly when he tried to look more deeply he got a notification that made his eyes wide with horror.
[ Warning!!! You are currently inspecting the most ancient primordial curse that had been put upon the human race by #@*#*@*# primordial race ]
[ Your level is insufficient to know more about the forgotten past of humanity ]
[ Ancient quest - as the most spiritual and emotional being in existence the human race envied by many other races. As a result a primordial race made the first curse in existence to put upon human race. As such every human being will born with the curse and it Will grow with them. As it is a forbidden curse that will curse a beings emotions and divert them from their origin emotions.
Task- you need to understand yourself and your own emotions and accept yourself fully as you are.
Reward:- with the shackles of the broken you will become free and the path after after tire-10 wouldn't be blocked for you anymore.]
After taking in all the information Rajat was stunned and then his face grew colder as he decided that someday he will find those basterds who put such a sinister curse.
"Haha look at this guy trying to stroke my flames of rage! But I am not a Main character of a story with high ambition and pride or such. You can't stroke my emotions anymore." When he felt the chain stealthily started to Stoke his rage he had a good laughed. He understood now what is the cause of 7 deadly Sins and 7 heavenly virtues . These 14 emotions are just the highest byproduct of the curse.
"Now it's my time to work" Rajat said as he looked at the place not too far from the chain. There is a clash between white colour and pitch black colour fog going on.
The white colour fog is clear and it gives off clear feeling but the black colour fog gives off a dark and deep feeling but there is also a sinister feeling inside the dark. 'no wander that's why I don't feel right.... The white is too pure and innocent to walk the path forward with my loverd ones and enjoy life but the dark is is too sinister and invokes sexual desires against any oposite gender. It's not that women's become my tools of sexual desire , it's I who became tool of this sexual desires this is also not the outcome I want. I understand now , this curse stroke one of our emotion and slowly rise it without us knowing that's why the older and stronger we get the potent the curse becomes and the emotion made our paths narrow and finally the end result is that we can't wake progress anymore. I am just a simple person don't have any desire of becoming a hero. What I want right now is for trait return to my original self, break the curse and a harem with beautiful wives as I am not a good guy or a bad guy either. I am a very naughty guy'.
With this much enlightenment he slowly closed his eyes. Suddenly the whole soul space churned and the sinister aura around the black fog evaporated. The white and black fog started to mix together , complement each other.
Soon the mixture of black and white fog covered him in a cocoon. After a few minutes when he came out of the cocoon his eyes don't look same anymore they turned into yin-yang diagram sign and the white and black colour on that diagram changeing position slowly but continuously.
