‘multi-tasking, that’s good. But it doesn’t have any %, how does it work then?’ while thinking, he left it for later and concentrated on what he was doing right now.

“Ok, all the other senses can awaken now. But multi-task changed at level 5? that means that every 5 levels, it will increase by one. And once it awakens, what will it increase?” ‘well, I’ll find out as long as I level it up, now to awaken the five senses!’
As he sat down, he started with smell, sniffing the air, and trying to differentiate the diferent scents from it, starting to smell something entirely new.
Then the taste, he started tasting the air, at the start it didn’t taste like anything, but moments later he could taste something special.
Then came touch, he felt everything on his body from his clothes to the air touching his body, starting to sense something new touching him.
Then hearing, hearing the trees sway, the wind pass by his ears, and then hearing a strange buzz.
And finally, sight, opening his eyes he saw trees, behind the trees was a small city and a big rift, and then, he started seeing some colors on the air.

Aster ignored the skill and kept looking around “it’s...beautiful...” ‘the sixth sense is... energy sensing’ he now could see all the energy in the air, a dance of colors, merging and separating. But there were tree energys that were very different from each other.
“system, evolution and mana energy? What if I try to get one of them?” he closed his eyes again, and tried meditating to absorb mana energy.
“!!!???” ‘STOOOOP!!’ he opened his eyes and stopped meditating.
‘I felt something very wrong!’

“I even got a skill? Something terrible would have happened to me if I continued!” he was a bit scared of what could have happened, but he started calming down and started thinking ‘why did it not work?' 'Let’s see. I got the senses awakened, also the breathing and... meditation? That’s the only one that hasn’t evolved yet, I think it was Lv15, let’s level it up’ after sitting again he meditated, but this time without trying to absorb energy.
-2 hours later, 15:05-
As he finally sensed that meditation could evolve, he now tried absorving mana. ‘I sense a bit of danger, but not as much as before’ he breathed in a chunk of mana in the air, and he felt how it reached his lungs, moving through his whole body, making it tingle.

As he sligthly slapped his face, he got up “let’s not get depressed over this, I still got a lot of skills to level up!” Aster overcame his sadness, and looked towards the future. ‘ I suppose that when I become 18 years old, I’ll unlock it. And now, it's time for some training!’ he started thinking the things to train and the best way possible.
“OK, let’s start” he went down the hill and walked to the forest. Reaching the trees, he did some stretches, and started kicking and punching the trees, every time harder and harder. Meanwhile, on his arms there could be seen small red dots, it was his blood transforming into needles! As they reached a small size, they broke down and started healing the wound, and when the wound was healed they appeared again, repeating the procces again and again. ‘thanks to all the energy regeneration that I got, I can keep going for hours!’ and he continued.

“good, good, now I have two more skills to evolve” ‘also, blood manipulation it’s leveling up slower than the other skills. Is it because it evolved? Then I should pay more attention to unevolved skills. Yes, let’s evolve them all!’ as he said that he turned around looking at a tree with some marks on its body, and started punching it, tensing his arms as much as he could.

As he evolved his punch, he started kicking the tree, from all sides at maximun velocity.

“ok, now the only skills that I have to evolve are, for the passive skills: blood production, premonition, natural regeneration, and multi-task. And for the the active skills: writing, scream and adrenaline rush” he started thinking, how to evolve them as fast as possible?
‘mmmh, I think the training plan for those skills are good, but what about premonition? Do I have to go to dangerous places? I hope not, I feel that I’m still not strong enough... I’ll wait, now time to level those skills up’
As he reached his backpack, he took out a pen and a notebook, sat down, and started writing anything that came to his mind while screaming and activating adrenaline rush, while doing so, he made small blood needles come out from his body. Concentrating on every single thing he did without stopping.

“good, I should go home now, it's too late and I think mom will be angry at me” after looking at his skills, he got up and started running.
He decided to evolve some of them tomorrow.
But while running home, he heard something from an alleyway. ‘mmmh? Whats that?’ as he got closer he saw two people ‘a robbery? He seems to only have a knife’
The robber was holding a knife towards a young man “give me everything, now” the somewhat adult robber said, while twitching his arm and scratching a scar on his face.
“I-I don’t have anything, here t-take my phone” the young man said, terrified.
“UGH, USELESS, USELESS! THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!!” the robber said while increasing his voice “I’ll just take you, you’ll sell quite well outside”
‘outside... an outlaw!? a criminal who lives outside of the citys? How did one get inside a rift? That should be imposible!’
“PLEASE, PLEASE NOT THAT, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE. YOU WOULD BE SEARCHED AT THE RIFT, THEY’LL FIND ME!!!” the man said, scared shitless.
“heh, I’ll just ask a friend to help me out, now come here” as the robber said that, he got closer to the young man, hitting him in the head and knocking him unconscious.
‘WHAT DO I DO!? I just can't do nothing after seeing this! But... if I fight, will I be able to defeat him? UGH, WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME!?’ Aster didn’t know what to do. While he got power to fight, he still didn’t know how to fight, and less towards an outlaw, someone who fights for a living.
‘what do I do if he sees my face? RIGHT, let’s cover my face’ as he said that he took a spare shirt for training from his backpack, tied it on his head tightly and put where the hole for the head should belong in front of his eyes.
“who’s there?” the outlaw noticed something outside of the alleyway.
‘ugh... no backing down now’ as Aster tought that, he entered the alleyway, without saying a word.
“uh? What are those looks? Anyway, give me everything you have, now. Of course, if you don’t want to be like him” he said while pointing at the young man on the floor.
While the outlaw was saying that, Aster got close enough to sprint towards him and hit him on the chest. But he felt something wrong, as he hit him on the chest, Aster felt it was strangely hard ‘body strengthening!’ as he felt that, he sensed danger from his right.
Aster ducked and jumped backwards, dodging an abnormally big fist “you are also an awakener? That’s better, hehehe” he started thinking about the money he could make.
As Aster was preparing himself, he felt danger towards his legs ‘a kick!’ he jumped, but the outlaw followed his attack with a punch.
‘SHIT!’ Aster tried to defend himself, but still ended up hurt on his arms and chest.
“are you a newbie? Heh, better for me”
Aster didn’t know what to do ‘fuck, think faster,think, THINK!’ while thinking, Aster got attacked by a barrage of fists and kicks ‘left, right, left, down, left, up...’ while sensing where the next attack would come from, he found the perfect oportunity ‘NOW!’ He threw two sharp objects.
The outlaw easily grabbed the with each hand “two pencils? Did you try to h-” as he was talking, he let his guard down, getting stabbed on his eyes, by two big sharp red needles that quickly broke down after stabing him.
“AAAAAAAAHHHH, FUCK, FUCK!!!” as the outlaw was screaming in pain, Aster used this opportunity to jump high on a wall and propulse himself towards the unconcsious man, grabbing him and putting him on his shoulders.
And as he did that, he did one last thing “HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!!” he screamed at the top of his lungs, almost sounding like a lion’s roar.

“HEEEEEEEEELP!!! A BODY STRENGHTENING OUTLAW!!!!!” Aster kept screaming, reaching even the farthest house of the rift’s city.
“you little shit! COME HERE!!!” the outlaw followed where the sound was coming from and started attacking with all his strength blindly.
‘shit!’ Aster started dodging, but the man in his shoulders was burdening him, making the attacks get closer and closer to him. But moments later, some sirens were approaching to where they were ‘the police!’
As Aster saw the police, he went towards them, threw to them the unconscious man and started running away. Before the police were able to stop him, the outlaw interrupted them “GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!” the police surrounded him “an awakener, body strenghtening power, at...” a policeman at the back was talking through a walkie talkie. As the message was sent, they waited while containing the outlaw as much as possible with their weapons, as some time passed the legs of the outlaw froze instantly, stopping his movement.
The police were surprised, and as they looked to the side, they saw an awakener from the knights temple “thank you, snowlady” one policeman said.
“...thanks” that was all that the lady said, as she froze the outlaw almost completely and brought him to a special vehicle specialized to contain awakeners, taking him to the rift’s exit, while an ambulance took the unconcious man.
-meanwhile-
Aster entered his house “ASTER, where have you been!?” his mom said furiously “I’ve heard a huge scream, did something happen? Are you ok?” his mom changed from an angry tone to a preocupied one instantly.
“yes mom, I’m ok, I just came home running because that scream scared me! I think it was something about an outlaw?”
“an outlaw? How could one enter a rift?” his mom said, confused about it.
“I dont know, but after running I feel a lot tired now...”
“of course, you should go to sleep now, good night my dear son” as she said that, she gave her son a kiss on the head “and please keep yourself safe in the future”
‘...I’m sorry for lying, mom...’
After entering his room, Aster removed his shirt and looked at his chest and arms, showing some wounds made by the fight.
‘ouch, I can’t go to sleep with those wounds, I’ll stain the bed with blood. I’ll close it with blood manipulation’
As Aster was closing his wounds, he tried to move his own flesh around his wounds to close them.
