When I woke up, the rays of the morning sun blinded me
But even though the harmful UV rays started to penetrate my eyes, I didn't react a bit
Because all my mind was focused on the person present in the house I was currently at
'Wait... House?'
I asked myself only to realize that I wasn't lying down in the ditch I fainted at
"Where am I? Is this another..."
While my thoughts ran fast, the presence I was sensing moved
*thud* *thud*
The sound of footsteps hitting the wooden stairs reverberated in my mind
The closer he gets, the stronger the energy I felt
'Class 2? No, it's way higher than that'
With this, I tried rotating my mana core and circulating my mana throughout my body but my body gave up
"Grrrk!"
Blood poured out of my mouth
"Shit, I can't use it"
Due to me still recovering from extensively using my body, I failed at trying to manifest my abilities
*Creak*
The door creaked, and...
*SWOOSH!*
A torrent of wind came crashing down upon my body
Without any mana to back me up and strengthen me, my body flew straight toward the wall
"Tsk"
Clicking my tongue, I realized that, I had no choice
My final secret weapon
My Aura
---
Aura is quite different than a Skill or Mana
Skills are considered to be a blessing from the Gods and can be inherited by the future generations
Mana is present everywhere, which allows Awakened people to perform spells and such
Aura, on the other hand, is the embodiment of a person's soul
Their experiences, wins, losses, and hardships, all define what a person's soul is
Those who stood on the righteous path, their aura will be brimming with colors
But for someone who has led a life, filled with regrets, revenge, with the intent to kill, their soul will be sullied, and their aura will be reflected

The space in the room was suddenly painted with a black-and-white hue, my killing intent on full force
In my right hand, a lump of energy, my aura, amassed in my palm, covering my entire arm
Jumping toward my adversary
I punched the space in front and suddenly, the wind which was being pushed towards me rushed in the other direction, deflecting the wind magic he was using
Yet, even with that, the man— or should I say the old man in front of me didn't move an inch
"Hoho, Glad you still have your Fierce personality! Lenn, It's been a while hoho"
The old man laughed
He entered the room, finally walking in and his face, finally being revealed by the sun
