Chapter 192: Poison Scroll (1/2)

The world had experienced countless changes ever since Awakeneds had appeared one after another.

One of those changes was how they view the world. The world had started to become more and more complicated with each Awakened that popped up.

Various unbelievable skills from fantasies had come true, and most of them went against science, completely destroying the people’s beliefs.

From putting their attention to finding jobs and work their way to the top, people who had suddenly become an Awakened now only have a thirst for power within themselves.

Their life had completely turned around, and they were now focused on improving their own strengths, everything else was secondary.

As Awakeneds kept appearing, there was no limit to what skill someone could have. This made specific skills more attractive than others. Since Awakeneds were numerous in this world, a group of them had been able to make a name for themselves.

The top Awakeneds wasn’t only limited to those who had frightening combat power. Even though the world and the Awakeneds in it would only recognize strength as the main factor for being an expert, non-combat Awakeneds could also reach the top in their own ways.

Non-combat Awakeneds usually consist of Awakeneds that could support others from behind. There were a large number of them, and no one would dare to look down on them. Even if they didn’t have any combat capabilities, it is possible that their contribution could still be higher than some powerful Awakeneds.

The world wasn’t only ruled by swords and spears. Shields should also not be ignored. Awakeneds had learned this the hard way when they have suffered from the unique and unpredictable skills of others.

Smiling Death was an example of a non-combat Awakened. While his fighting capability was indeed weak, his defense ability was top notch among other skills. What’s the point of a powerful Elemental Skill user if it can’t even damage its opponent.

Seeing the incredible potential of Defensive Skill users, a lot of organizations kept their eyes open for skillful ones and tried many ways to pull them to their sides. Some had succeeded, and some don’t, but that wasn’t the end of it.

Defensive Skills were only one of the many non-combat skills that were highly valued by others. If one were to have more knowledge about the world, they would quickly realize that the value of Defensive Skills was only in the middle compared to Unique Skills.

It was common knowledge that Unique Skills were highly valuable, and most Awakeneds who have them would someday be a powerful Awakened and famous throughout the world. Naturally, some would also be unlucky and only receive useless skills that don’t have much use. Those people can only be contented with their status as an Awakened.

However, for the Awakeneds who had been fortunate enough to have gotten skills that were related to Potion-Making and Crafting Skills, for these Awakeneds, as long as they release their products, Awakeneds, no matter how influential, would flock on their doors.

This only applies to those skillful Awakeneds who could show impressive products that will be tempting enough to attract others.

For some, skills related to Crafting Skills were one of the best ones to have. Not only it would push their position straight to the top, but it would also be easy to get the help of a lot of Awakeneds.

The line of Awakeneds they would receive in their doorsteps would be never-ending as Awakeneds know how useful potions are, especially if the effects were unique and amazing. The amount of Awakeneds who wish to curry some favors would be innumerable. Only an idiot would choose to offend them.

That wasn’t the only thing. The number of Awakeneds who had those kinds of skills was extremely few. This was not only attributed to the skills being rare among Awakeneds. The auction had also been the cause of it.
