An awakening phenomenon called enlightenment existed in this world. Often considered the first qualification to becoming a hero, this form of personal insight occurred when a person surpassed their limits.
Active-duty heroes had all experienced enlightenment, but most cadets hadn't because it required years of experience and training. Of course, exceptions like Kim Suho and Shin Jonghak already went through it at the ages of 15 and 17 respectively.
An enlightened person could view their gift, skills, and abilities to train more efficiently. Furthermore, enlightenment allowed you to acquire rewards from clearing towers and dungeons. The Hero Association called this phenomenon the status window, which could only be seen by its owner. However, I enjoyed exceptions and had made one for this setting.
Instead of your eyes, you could also use other senses or mediums like a book or a weapon to view your status. Special enlightenments naturally came with special powers. The main character would eventually undergo 2 enlightenments because of this setting.
"... Is this that?"
According to my settings, this laptop served as a medium for enlightenment. This special event excited me, but analyzing the situation came first. Several windows popped up when I hit the Enter key.

The words, Synchronization and reset, caught my attention. I didn't know what they meant, but I knew that it changed my name from Kim Chundong to Kim Hajin and gave me my face back. My stats also seemed to have adjusted appropriately. I was much weaker than Chundong, but obtained 10 spare points as compensation. I should be able to raise my desired stats with those points.
"Points are really nice."
As this world's creator, I was well aware of the importance of points. An average adult had 1.5 points in each stat. This world lacked a natural leveling system, so points were extremely precious to raise stats and could only be obtained from towers or dungeons. Kim Suho's current magic power should be around 9. I could surpass that if I invested all 10 points into magic power.
"No."
That wasn't the best plan. I would have to become a magician for that, but being a magician was exhausting. It was expensive and required extreme effort and memorization. I would need to increase both intelligence and perseverance, but invariable stats couldn't be raised even with points. A magician was out of the picture.
"What's up with the 3 question marks?"
The suspicious question marks in the next line caught my attention.
