The village was alive with excitement. Colorful flags swayed in the breeze, and the smell of freshly baked bread drifted through the air. The awakening ceremony was as much a festival as it was a rite of passage, and preparations were well underway.
As the young hunters returned to the village, it was early morning—breakfast time. Everyone was hungry. Some of the boys grumbled, glaring at Sharun, but their irritation had no malice.
"Tch. All because of you, we missed breakfast," one muttered.
"Yeah," another nodded. "But hey... you came back alive. And you killed a snow goblin, huh? That's not nothing."
They didn't hate Sharun. In fact, they were relieved. He'd returned, and seemed different—as if the weight of fear had lifted from him. Sam, the hunter who first found him, had explained everything. Sharun had lost his memory.
Raj, Sharun and some other young hunters come back to the village. The village was preparing for a festival. Awakening ceremony was festival for them probably. When they came in the village, it was breakfast time in morning. Everyone was hungry too. Although some young hunters were angry, but they didn't have any ill reason. They were angry thinking that they couldn't have breakfast at right time cause of Sharun. But they were happy about Sharun. At least Sharun came back with them and he also seem to forget about his past. They pity him for it, but they see a good corner in it too. At least he forget about his fear. And he also killed a snow goblin according to Raj and Sam. So they don't hold it against Sharun.
Sam was that hunter, that found Sharun first. He was the one that explained everything to other hunters.
But now there is a disaster waiting for Sharun at home. As they came near, Sharun saw Jessica. She was waiting outside their small hut. As she looked at them, tears fall from her eyes. She came running towards them. But Sharun felt like he saw this scene before. As Jessica came near them, he grab raj and hid behind him. Raj couldn't understand what happened, but he was sent flying. Just as Sharun thought, Jessica came and tried to punch him. But as he held Raj as shield, raj was sent flying by that punch.
When Jessica saw that instead of her brother it was Raj, she became embarrassed.
Jessica said in a low voice, "I am Sorry Raj. But why did you came between us?"
Raj look at her dumbfounded for a second then look at Sharun. Raj slowly stand up and said, "It's okay Jessica. I am okay. But your brother isn't. he lost his memories. I think it will take some time but you should control yourself more. By the way.. ah.. you guys prepared fast. Eat breakfast and came to the village temple fast. You know it is a special day."
Raj goes away with others, leaving Sharun with Jessica. Sharun looked at Jessica but didn't say anything.
After a sew minutes, ...…..
Jessica, " Are you okay? "
Sharun, " Yes. I am. "
Jessica, " What happened to you? Why did you ran away? "
Sharun, " As I told everyone before, I don't remember. But if I had to imagine, why did I run away, I will say that I went to hunt a goblin, so that I prove that I am not afraid of anyone. "
Jessica, " Hahaha! Let's eat breakfast first. Here."
Sharun, " I know you won't believe me. "
Jessica, " I do believe in you. After all you are my brother. Now eat."
After a hour Sharun and Jessica came to the village temple. There was a big book floating on top of a huge pillar. The village head, raj's father was standing before it. The awakening ceremony had already begun.
Jessica, "Looked like everyone is here."
But then to make her statement error, Raj came to the temple and stand with them.
Sharun," Now it is everyone."
Many people were going, put their hand on the pillar. And then words were coming in the book's page. Some were successful get gift while, some didn't. those weren't, were advised to try next year. But those who were, well they just awakened in the lower rank from E to H.
Village head, "GRIBS."
A boy goes and put his hand on the pillar. A name appear on the book.
[ GRIBS BASHINTON : NON AWEAKEN. ]
The boy came back with his head low.
" Next, ARION. "
Another boy goes and do the same.
[ ARION MARG : AWAKEN : B rank ; HAMMER THROW. ]
The boy came back with his head high. Everyone starts to praise him. Now there are still more than 10 boys left.
Among them, very few awakened. Those awakened boys were still couldn't touch A rank. Now it was just them left.
"Next, Sharun."
Sharun goes to the pillar and put his hand on it.

"OMG. S+ rank. That guy awaken in high man."
"Finally we got someone."
" God rank awakener. Oh my god. We hear it in just history."
"are we going towards the good times?"
Everyone seems to be in good mood after watching his status. Even the village head seems to be happy. But he didn't say anything before everyone. Sharun came back to his sit. But then suddenly…..

Sharun just read the character merging and become dumb for a second.
Sharun, " Oh. I will be dammed if I don't use it on the real mc."
Without thinking much, he grab raj's hand and act like he is watching something. Raj also became confused at this.
Raj, "What are you doing Sharun?"
Meanwhile Sharun…
[ Do you want to link with the character RAJ DESHMUKH? ]
[YES/NO]
Sharun in his mind says, "Yes."
Sharun answered raj's question, "If I am correct you will get two gifts. One is in god rank."
Raj, "You are kidding right?"
Sharun, "No."
Raj, "If what you told me is correct, I will be your best loyal friend forever."
Sharun, "Okay."
But then, Jessica got called.
" Jessica."
Jessica got up and goes toward the pillar and put her hand on the pillar.
[ JESSICA R HALDER : AWAKEN : SS rank ; WISE WITCH. ]
"oh my god. Another one."
"both brother and sister. One after another."
"this century is really different."
