Destroying My Own Novel

Sven went on all four with his face covered in sweat, he couldn't hold it any longer then he vomited the lunch he just had. Vincze luckily was in better shape than Sven because of the skill that helped him in the training.

"What are you two doing? This is your first day of training and you haven't even done 30% of the training that we went through," Gunnar said as he looked at those two laying on the floor. "Come on! Get up!" he continued as he clapped his hands.

Mykel looked at those two and checked on their status screen, since they were still level 1 they couldn't get any skill other than the skill they had from awakening. Vincze got a [Soul Strike] which was really unique because it doubled his stamina and could consume that stamina in exchange for a deadly blow that could one hit kill a demon lord on the fortieth floor in Lucifer tower in the original story which had high resistance for physical attacks.

Sven got himself a [Demon Bane] skill that lowered the demon's status resistance and skill levels around him. It was the opposite of [Retribution] that Asmond had, and Sven was the raising rookie in the original story that almost passed Agnez within a year after he awakened. That was the reason why Agnez killed him because she knew he was too strong.

Mykel looked at Jeanne who trained Nagy on the other side of the room, they both looked so peaceful from the outside but on the inside, Nagy was struggling to lift the weight. He approached them and looked at Nagy with her hair covering her face and making tiny noises from her mouth.

Nagy's original skill was [Signum] which made her the dangerous Awakener because the skill allowed her to see everything about her target. Compared to [Keen], [Signum] could see everything and not just weaknesses but the strength of the target. She only needed to attack certain parts of the target's body and she could kill them without a problem.

With the three of them together, they made a perfect team and nothing could beat them. Mykel was curious about what if they didn't die and what kind of achievement they could achieve with him and the others around.

"How's she?" Mykel asked Jeanne as he dragged a chair and sat next to her.

"She's trying her best, that's what I can say right now," Jeanne said as she looked at Mykel.

"Nagy, you can put them down," Mykel said as he looked at her.

Nagy put the weight and sat up, she didn't look so good and her face was red because of the heavy training. She lifted her head and looked at Mykel. "I'm sorry," she said quietly as she looked down.

"What are you apologizing for?" Mykel asked with his arms and legs crossed. "That's not the reason why I'm talking with you right now, so look at me," he continued.

Nagy looked at Mykel but then she immediately looked away because she was a shy girl.

"Have you ever thought about becoming an Awakener, Nagy?" Mykel asked calmly because he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.

"Mmm, no. I never had any thoughts on it," Nagy answered quietly as she fixed her bang to hide her eye.

"But since you have become one, is there anything you want? I'm asking you about what kind of Awakener you want to be," Mykel asked as he rotated the chair and rested his arms on the top of the chair and crossed them with his chin rested on them.

"What kind of Awakener? Is there such a thing like that?" Nagy asked shyly but her voice showed some kind of interest in the topic.

"Of course! Look at Jeanne right here, she's a swordsman and now she's one of the best swordsmen in the world. You can look at Gunnar and the others as well as a preference if you want to," Mykel answered with a gentle smile on his face. "Sven said he wanted to have a scythe as a weapon, and Vincze said he wanted to use a spear. How about?" he asked while he pointed his hand at Sven and Vincze.

"I have been paying attention to Miss Agnez and she looked cool, like a character in a fantasy book I read. But..." Nagy paused and looked down again. "I don't think I can be like her because I have no talent like her," she continued while scratching her cheek.

"Fantasy book?" Mykel asked while raising his eyebrows.

"I have read it, it's really good actually and her favorite character is exactly like Agnez," Jeanne said while looking at Mykel.

"Really? Can I read it, Nagy?" Mykel asked and tried his best to look interested in the book she was reading.

Nagy lifted her head and nodded then she ran to where she put her bag. She grabbed the book and hurriedly walked back and then gave the book to Mykel.

"Ah, is she the one on the book cover?" Mykel asked as he pointed at the cover of the book.

Nagy nodded. "Yes, she's so cool and mysterious," she answered.

"Have you held a weapon before?" Mykel asked as he read the book.

"Real weapon? I never touch them, but I have the toy sword that she has, it looks exactly the same as on the cover. But I don't think I'm confident with using a sword because it feels so hard to use," Nagy answered.

"So do you want to use a ranged weapon like a bow?" Mykel asked as he was immersed in the story of the book.

"I don't like using a bow, it's too big and I don't like characters with a bow as their weapon," Nagy answered as she pretended to use a bow. Jeanne just stared at her with a smile.

"So you prefer melee weapon?" Mykel asked as he closed the book and stared at Nagy.

"Yeah, but if it's too big I don't think I can hold them and at the same time I don't want to use a small weapon like daggers," Nagy answered as she tucked her hair behind her right ear.

"You don't like a big melee weapon, and you also don't like holding a sword, at the same time you don't like a small weapon like a dagger," Mykel said and pretended to think really hard while Jeanne was also trying to help him find a right weapon for Nagy. "I think I know," Mykel said as he stood up and walked to the desk to grab a piece of paper and a pencil.

Mykel drew a katar on the paper and they both were looking at his drawing, they both looked so confused because they had never seen that kind of weapon before.

"This weapon is called katar, it's something that you wear on or around your wrist and you use your fingers to hold it, like a knuckle. The blade is attached on top of it and you can customize the blade as you like either it's going to be wide, short, long, or thin, it's all up to you," Mykel explained as he pointed at his drawing.

Nagy grabbed the paper and looked at it with excitement. "I want this as my weapon," she said quietly.

"Oh? You like it?" Mykel asked with his eyebrows raised.

"I love it," Nagy answered while she kept staring at the drawing.

"Isn't that great? Well then," Mykel paused as he stood up. "I will ask the blacksmith to make various types of katar so you can choose which one you're comfortable with," he continued.

Nagy lifted her head and looked at Mykel with disbelief. "Thank you,"

"So he's kind of guy who's soft with girls, huh?" Vincze asked as he watched Mykel leave the training room with Edith.

Gunnar, Rozan, and Gerrard looked at each other and then they started to laugh. Sven and Vincze looked at each other with confusion but then Gunnar looked at them with his arms crossed. "Just wait and you will see how harsh he can be. It doesn't matter if you're a guy, a woman, or a demon, he will treat you how he wants to treat you,"

"I can't wait to see you guys wet your pants," Rozan said while chuckling mischievously.

Edith looked at her schedule as she walked next to Mykel. "Miss Lyneth wanted you to check on this document and there are a few matters that you need to handle, Mister Mykel," she said as she kept walking.

Edith waited for Mykel's response until she decided to look to her left and saw that Mykel was gone. "Mister Mykel?" she asked as she looked at the empty hallway.

Mykel stood and looked around him, he saw two giant doors that were as tall as the Guild Association's building. He looked at them as he sighed and walked toward the doors where every footstep he took echoed throughout the massive hallway next to him. The floor was made of gold that reflected his face and the hundreds of tall pillars that supported the hallway.

Suddenly a notification appeared in front of him.

[The Leaders of the 21 Major Arcanas have summoned you]

[You are entering the Hall of Arcana, Temple of Triumph]
