Chapter 39: Chapter 39Aaron felt that his luck turned around a bit in the past month, especially after the awakening. All his life, it was not bad but can’t exactly say that his luck was good either. Now, though, he can say out loud that his luck has improved by a large margin.

    In a world teeming with monsters and cults, survival depends on strength.

    Aaron’s parents, though both were awakened, are chefs. It means that their fighting capabilities are very low. They could level up through cooking and obtain the attributes but they would lack the necessary skills required to fight.

    So, the chances of surviving in a world like this are bleak.

    In order to protect himself and his parents, Aaron hoped that he would awaken a combat profession but what he awakened was classified as a support profession.

    His profession was Death Mage, an S-Rank profession but it was a summoner-type profession and lacked the proper skills that compete at high ranks. So, it was classified as a Support Class profession.

    Though that was the case, Aaron didn’t feel downhearted about that. He felt bad that he may disappoint his parents, who worked very hard every day to provide for him.

    Luckily for him, his parents were not like that. They were happy for him that he successfully awakened. What profession did their son awaken? They didn’t care much about that as long as Aaron was happy about it.

    Aaron was happy that his parents were not disappointed in him.

    Added to that, during his awakening he got a talent, an SS-Rank talent. This talent improved almost everything that he would get.

    He would get 10x EXP for killing a monster, 10x FSPs, and 10x SPs for every level up.

    Aaron believed that his luck maxed out and there was nothing left in the luck column after seeing that talent. It is a one-of-a-kind talent, which could bring jealousy out of anyone who comes to learn of the talent.

    If there was a device that could have identified the talents of awakeners, as it does with the professions, then he would have been on the top of the hitlist of the cults. Also, at the same time would have been under the protection and care of the alliance, just like Mary.

    The protection and care from the alliance don’t come for free. He had to pay the fee at a later time but to anyone surviving long is very important. So, no one would think about the fees that they have to pay in the future. Sёarch* The N?velFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    It can be said that Aaron is quite lucky in that department.

    He never made it to the hitlist. Originally his S-Rank profession should have made him a target but as it was Death Mage, which others looked down on, he was not a priority, especially with the cult members from Rock City busy tracing Mary.

    If he was from another city, maybe they would paid attention to him but for the cult members to pay attention to multiple people is not easy, not after the crackdown that happened a few years ago.

    Two years before now, the government took down a lot of cult members in the region. It was not in Rock City but also around cities and towns. Most of the cultists were either killed or arrested. Very few escaped the encirclement. Most were not known as being members of the cult.

    So, no one was willing to sacrifice themselves to make a move on Aaron, a Death mage who at max would reach Rank-6.

    Mary on the other hand was different. She is an SS-Rank awakener. Even if she had awakened a Death-related profession, they would have acted.

    Of course, Aaron doesn’t know these things but he knew that his Death Mage Profession acted like a shield for him.

    After that in order to not attract unnecessary attention, he didn’t level up faster. Instead of diving into the Experience dungeons, he concentrated on Loot dungeons and earned quite a bit.

    Before exams, he made sure that he would not cross a level that would make people raise their eyes. He made it to the top but so did many other awakeners.

    There was a reason why he decided to hunt for points to reach the top. It was because reaching the top would get him to the top academies. If he wants to improve fast, he needs access to a lot of resources.

    With already how limited his profession was, attending normal academies would yield him nothing. Only by being a student of the top five academies, does he have a chance of getting at least the bare minimum.

    So, he reached the top on purpose and as he believed, he got an opportunity to attend the Dusk Academy, which is known for Dark and Death-related professionals.

    ---

    His lucky streak didn’t end there. He was now known to many people. Though it attracted some unwanted attention, it was not too much. As long as he was careful, he would be safe.

    There was a perk for being known to the world and he was now enjoying one such perk.

    His fellow passenger, Samantha, actively seduced him. He was now enjoying her body, something he wanted to the minute he saw those majestic mountains covered by her suit and shirt.

    Aaron may be shy when it comes to speaking with girls but that doesn’t mean he never had fantasies about having sex with them. He did but his shy and introverted nature kept that from happening.

    Now, being the number one in the alliance, brought that chance without doing any work. The woman actively seduced him to get to know him better.

    Though Aaron’s mind was buzzing with sensations, he knew that the woman was only doing this to have a connection with him. In everyone’s eyes, he may be someone who can’t reach the top ranks due to his profession but by being a top ranker, everyone understood that he would at least reach Rank-6, as long as no harm fell upon him.
