Chapter 191: Mysterious Item (1/2)
Most Awakeneds had always looked at other people as unimportant.
A lot of them would do anything just to chase for benefits. It would even be better if they were only up against ordinary people as they could get away from basically anything if executed properly.
This, in turn, had put everyone in a dangerous spot where they could only be like sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Even though there were a lot of Awakeneds all over the world who are filled with justice, treating everyone in equal standing, they were severely outnumbered.
Awakeneds like White Eye were numerous, but most chose to hide in the dark where they could move freely.
All of them were keeping an eye on opportunities at the same time, silently growing their strengths. After all, for Awakeneds, strength is the most important.
In the past, when most Awakeneds were still new to their skills, fighting and chaos would occur everywhere. Now, however, they had become used to it and through the years, gradually blended into society.
But it had not gone down smoothly. Awakeneds did not suddenly learn to integrate themselves among ordinary people. Being proud of their strengths, most of them desired to have better treatment compared to clueless people.
For years, under the image of a peaceful world, were struggles of Awakeneds to be in power. This was the cost that many had paid with blood.
Even now, in some parts of the world, Awakened organizations were still engaged in war — all of it for their own gains and to get ahead of others.
There were also Awakeneds who had skills that can be said to have some evil influence. Like White Eye, for example, his skill required him to suck out the blood of others to advance and see growth to his power.
Nothing else could be done in that situation except for White Eye to do and use everything he can to promote his rank or even only to break through to the next stage.
Every Awakened would have done the same and fulfill the conditions of advancement that their skills have required them to accomplish.
Max had Sex Steal to which he has to have sex to get an exact copy of the woman’s skill in the condition that she is an Awakened. And just like others, never did Max hesitate to make use of it. Only that the Awakeneds he knows about were limited, and among them, none were women.
For some others, however, it would only be a matter of time as Max had to put great considerations into his actions.
Whoever they are, once they have unlocked an ability, they would always have their eyes on further improving their strength. After all, who could resist the temptation that comes with absolute power?
No matter what one desired, having absolute power was a definite way to make it all possible. In addition, one would also be respected and admired by others.
Moreover, being an Awakened is a way for people to become extraordinary. There was also the desire to be above others and reach the top.
This was what White Eye yearned for. White Eye didn’t want to be an ordinary person, spending the rest of his life doing normal things and dying long after.
What White Eye wanted was to break through the barrier of being human into something different. Lifespans and mortal bodies would no longer a problem for him.
As long as White Eye could continue advancing to the next level, he would extend his life significantly, enjoying a life that ordinary mortals could only have in their fantasies.
For White Eye, this was what it meant to be an Awakened. Not to mention that his skill would turn more powerful as he goes further to the next stages and ranks.
Knowing what his skill was, White Eye could only dream about what he could do in the future. When that time came, his bats should be able to prey on skilled Awakeneds. Other Awakeneds would then have to be wary and afraid of him.
