Awakening

**Awakening** is the process that ordinary humans experience in order to gain access to magical powers and the system. Those who have gone through the process are called **Awakened people** or **Awakeners**, while those who have not are called **Unawakened people**.

## Awakening Conditions

Although the exact mechanisms to Awaken remains a mystery, it has been observed that there is a high possibility for an unawakened person to Awaken when faced in a life-threatening situation. As dungeons are naturally a common ground for battle and conflict, Awakening is easier when fighting through a dungeon, without necessarily having to clear the dungeon.

## Class

Ranked from the highest class to the lowest, an Awakener can have one of the following class based on their stats;

* S
* A
* B
* C
* D
* E
* F

Currently, the highest class for a human to awaken at is S, though the class itself is rare, as their stats and skills would be have to be higher than those who Awaken below S. There have been studies shown that an Awakener's class can be affected by the Awakening situation. If an Awakener has the potential to awaken at A-class, depending on the severity of the situation, it can affect their potential and leave them becoming a B-class instead of the potential A-class. However, if a skill such as the **[Promising Sprout (L)]** were to be used, the Awakening situation will be optimized, which guarantees the Awakener's chances of becoming an A-class Awakener.

Most S-class and some A-classes have the potential to Awaken with the 'stat rank A~S'. Growth for S-classes is possible, taking them to higher ranks such as SS (and potentially even SSS, L i.e. Legendary, and M i.e. Myth), but while skills can easily reach such high ranks, stats take much longer to build up, taking decades or longer.

### Changes

If an Awakener awakens as either a C, B, A or S-class, the Awakener faces a lot of changes in the body, especially with their strength increasing. This can overwhelm the Awakener, leaving them unable to control their strength and unintentionally break things for a minimum of 3-4 days.

### Probabilities

As the world was rapidly changing due to the appearance of dungeons, there are many Awakenings happening around the world. With the Awakening center opening up to the public, it would become common for more Awakeners to appear. However, in 1000 awakenings, 999 of the Awakeners are more likely to have F-class stats and skills. F-class skills are unable to upgrade as the growth is impossible. Which was why, with the large majority of F-class Awakeners, they are considered ordinary people.

### Born S-Classes

TBA.

There are currently only five born S-classes around the world;

* Han Yoohyun
* Sung Hyunjae
* Riette Luire

## Stats & Skills

Based on a person's class, their stats are based off of the Awakened class they are in. Although there were often times when the rating of the stats become unbalance as they grew, it was usually impossible for stats to increase by two Classes. However, if one possesses a skill rank higher than their class, their Awakening class is determined by measuring both their stats and skills. An example is Emily Spence, despite being an F-class Awakener, has an SS-rank skill which has determined her overall class as an A-class Awakener.

During a person's awakening, their post-awakening ability is influenced in the life-threatening situation they faced, that caused their awakening. For example, if an Awakener faces a situation where they may potentially drown, they would earn water-related skills. In addition, if the Awakener has worked on a farm land or has an occupation that deals with speaking with the clients, they may also be given skills that is related to the work they specialize in, such as plant manipulation or hypnosis.

* Awakeners have the privilege to be exempted from the army, though this is an exception to F-class Awakeners.
