Four years later...
Not much has changed in the past four years. After the day of awakening, my entire day would be either spent on training, eating, or sleeping. I was not allowed to go outside the ho.
Do you know what's the advantage of one awakening over the one failing to awaken?
The awakened would be able to improve beyond their race's capacity. They can improve by leveling up and increasing their ranks. As they ascend through the ranks, it would increase their life span.
I'm of the human race even though there is a small trace of the black dragon. It doesn't extend the lifespan as it is very diluted.
I'm a Tier-0 human, which ans that I have awakened by never ranked up. There is no difference in lifespan between an unawakened human and a Tier-0 human. One is weak and the other has power but their lifespans remain the sa.
Only by ranking up would it change.
A Tier-0 human can live up to 100 years but they also age in these 100 years. So there is not much ti for them. A Tier-1 on the other hand can live up to 150 years. The difference may look small but it isn't.
At Tier-2 rank, you can live up to 250 years. A Tier-3 can live up to 500 years. It keeps increasing as rank increases.
So everyone would try to level up as soon as they awaken. This way they can reach higher ranks and can live longer. I thought so too, but was proven that it was a common misconception.
Leveling up is the best way to improve one's attributes and combat skills but it is also the most dangerous. Even if your life span was increased, it would only an that you would age slower but still be killed.
Commoners normally start to level up as soon as they awaken. For them, it is the best way to live a better life and there is no wrong with that but that is not true for noble children.
Noble families have training resources to improve the chances of their children's survival in the world. They train and train their children so that they can improve their skills in a safe environnt before they have to face any dangers. This would improve their survival when they go out to level up.
Moreover, by training they would max out the attributes before leveling up. This was becase once you reach a certain value, no matter the training there wouldn't be any improvent. Only by leveling or eating so attribute improving treasures or potions can they be improved.
Even a few attributes of difference can entirely change the outco of a battle.
So, like , every noble child would go through harsh training inside their hos, before they can reach the age of fifteen. At fifteen, every awakened would have the chance to enter the academies for better learning and to establish relationships.
There are a lot of academies but the best one is the Royal Academy. I am supposed to enter this academy but that was still a year away. For now, there are other things to think about.

In the past four years, even though I never leveled up, all my attributes have increased trendously, except for my dexterity. This was due to my Devourer Physique.
Training and my Physique helped to increase my attributes beyond anyone. The issue was with the attribute known as dexterity. No matter how much you train, it is hard to increase your dexterity.
I only reason why I improved this much was because I got so Dexterity from the beast at that I ate and my physique granted that.
I believed that Dexterity wouldn't be possible to get from this way. In books, it was defined as an attribute that was required by production-based professionals. So imagine my surprise when I saw a notification that my Dexterity improved while eating the beast at.
I felt that there is much more than what was described in those books. So I asked my trainer, Captain Dor about it.

More than three years ago...
"What exactly is Dexterity?" I asked.
"What do you think it is young master?" he asked back.
"Hmm, I think it is what defines whether we can craft items or not", I gave a simple answer based on what I read in the books about awakening. They gave details of all attributes that the status screen would show and other discovered attributes that would be hidden unless you find a way to unlock them.
Captain Dor smiled at , "You are right young master but it was not as simple as they print in a book", he said.
"What do you an?"
"Hmm, I can't exactly tell you but rember this young master. The books are only a reference, but we have to make a conclusion based on our own experiences", he said but refused to explain further.

Present Day...
I still don't understand but it doesn't matter to . It's not like am a Scholar or sothing related who researches a lot to understand everything around us.
Now that my attributes are done, let's see my resistances. Now I have a total of three resistances and they are physical, light, and poison resistances.
Poison resistance was sothing every noble child had to get. The process is excruciating but it is a lifesaver. As the posison resistance grows, the chances of dying due to poisons also decrease. So it is a must.
The physical resistance is obviously due to Dor's training. He trained on how to use the staff for these five years whenever he could. As the captain, he wouldn't always have ti to train but he trained well. Not only has my physical resistance increased but my Staff Arts is already at Interdiate Stage Level 3.
This would be well useful while fighting monsters or my enemies when I am out of my MP.
Next is the light resistance, which I gained due to the Priest that the Elders sent to train . I'm a Warlock, whose affinities always ally with the Dark Elents like Shadow, Curse, Poison, etc... which makes the Priests and all other professionals related to elents like Light, or Holy elents would be our bane.
I am soone who has Shadow Affinity. Those Elders knew that but still send the Priest, though he has no affinities, their profession goes against my Warlock profession.
Those shitbags. They are truly crossing my line.
One day I'll make them pay.
