Chapter 109: Ch 109: The Multicolored Orb & The Golden Figure

More than a year ago...

"I have failed to awaken my Soul Mark twice already. This is my last chance. Can I awaken it this time?"

A young man sat on his bed, gazing worriedly at a small orb placed in front of him. His expression revealed his lack of confidence in awakening his Soul Mark.

He took a deep breath and tried to steady his nerves. The room was silent, the only sound being his own heartbeat, beating loud in his ears. He knew this was a crucial moment for him. Failure again could mean the end of his dreams.

With shaking hands, he reached out and placed his hand on the orb. As soon as he touched it, a warm light began to emanate from the orb, wrapping around his hand and slowly spreading throughout his body. He closed his eyes, focusing all his energy on the task at hand.

Normally, a person could awaken their Soul Mark in a matter of few minutes. The longer it takes to awaken the Soul Mark, the higher the quality.
