Her struggle

"Sis, What did Han Joo-woon do to you?"

"..."

Kim Yo-han looks at his sister's trembling body while shutting her lips tight. It's as if she didn't want to talk about it. Kim Yo-han felt his rage bubbling deep within his heart.

If that Han Joo-woon touched his sister. Kim Yo-han will not hesitate to destroy Aria. Cleching his fist tightly, Kim Yo-han waited patiently.

"...Can I not talk about it?" Kim Hayan said with a soft yet sour voice.

"You can... But I will not able to control myself is. Do you know why I did not look for them for revenge after I got out? I'm bottling up all the rage that I'm feeling Sis. I know the consequences of my actions if I let my emotions win... You will also be involved and I don't want that."

"Yo-han... Saying it will also make you do it. That's why I don't want to say it." Kim Hayan watches her little brother's fierce eyes. She was afraid of telling him. She doesn't want him to get hurt.

Kim Hayan did not know how strong his little brother was. She thought he was only an A-rank. It was suicide for him to fight Aria.

Kim Yo-han did not tell her everything not because he did not trust her. But because he trusted her so much he didn't know what her reaction if she found out the truth.

He told her, that for the past year, he fought in the dungeon with pure will until all his hard work paid off. Boosting his rank to A.

Kim Hayan did not find his lies. She wholeheartedly feels very happy for her little brother. She knows well how much effort her brother has been making. It's only natural for his hard work to be paid off.

That's why she did not want her brother to know the truth also. But that look on his expression is the look he always put on. She was too familiar with it... Kim Hayan resigned to herself.

"Promise me Yo-han...promise not to be reckless and leave me again."

"...I promise Sis. I will."

"This will not be pleasant to hear. But don't worry, despite the troubles I faced, I never surrendered myself."

Kim Hayan told Kim Yo-han everything she faced after his death. In the first month, it was peaceful but after that, it was hell for Kim Hayan. At the place she is working, she was fired without reason.

She thought it was normal. Maybe she made mistakes that she did not know. Then she applied for another work. It was just a normal waitress work. With her looks, She attracted customers making the restaurant popular.

Let's not forget, that with Kim Hayan's figure and face, it would be not an exaggeration to call her a goddess.

There is plenty of malicious intent trying to get her. But because Aria's guild is protecting her, no one tries to do anything funny.

If there was a Guild ranking. Aria guild would be an S-grade Guild at the top. Precisely, the top 3 in South Korea. Aria guild has 12 S-rankers and 1 SS-rankers. The Guildmaster, Lee Jungnan was able to reach the SS-rank.

SS-rank There are only 22 people who reached this rank in the whole world. Most of them are Guild leaders.

In Comparison, Ares guild is only in the top 33. It was heaven and earth.

So Kim Hayan's life was peaceful. Until the Aria protection faded... What would happen if that happened?

Kim Hayan's life will be chaotic. Without the protection of a Top guild. She is like a helpless lamb in a society that the government cannot control any longer.

The Awakeners had ruled the society since then. The corrupt government was replaced by an even more corrupt system. It's where the dog eats dog world. If you are weak, you are bound to be devoured.

Creeps, Lecherous eyes, Hungry eyes. That's what Kim Hayan has been experiencing since the protection has been nulled. The restaurant she is working with tried to force her to serve customers.

Kim Hayan was not stupid. When she heard those orders from the owner. She did not hesitate to quit. She is not a naive girl who does not know how society works. She is also not oblivious to her beauty and how it will impact her life.

She hops on jobs one after another. It was not normal, as everyone in this company seemed to try to make her do an unreasonable job.

It's like someone is manipulating the companies she worked in.

It did not take long for her to find out why. After half of year of struggling to find a decent job. Although the money from insurance is already enough for her to live her whole life. She did not want to depend on it.

The bad memories would resurface if she used that money.

Half a year later, Han Joo-woon appeared before her. It didn't take long for Kim Hayan to know his intention. The person behind the struggle to find a job is because of this person.

She treated him as a friend and brother.

To think he would do something unfavorable to her. She was disappointed.

"Han Joo-woon wanted me to be his mistress if I wanted the protection of Aria. When I saw his eyes, I knew well what he had on his mind."

Of course, she did accept his offer. Even if the Awakened is above the law. Han Joo-woon was not stupid if he forced himself to her. Their reputation will fall downhill.

That guy is so obsessed with his reputation. All S-rank hunters have paparazzi tailing them. If he is not careful, even Aria will not be able to help him.

S-rank hunters are not rare in the world anymore. All top 100 guilds have at least one or two S-ranks.

Even if so, Han Joo-woon kept pestering Kim Hayan for half a year. Kim Yo-han thinks that guy would not be able to be himself any longer. That guy would create opportunities no matter how long.

"I'm relieved nothing happened... Sis, do you want to get strong?"

"...I'm not an awakened."

Kim Hayan already knows how important to have strength in today's society, of course,e she dreamt of awakening.

"Just tell me, do you want power?"

"Of course, who wouldn't want that? Do you know how much I want the power to protect myself and you? I always prayed to have the strength that would protect our family, The two of us... I was so sad and mad when I heard about your death. Why....why do I not have strength."

Kim Hayan's voice contained regret and melancholy. She was disappointed at the gods and the constellations.

"Sis... I will give you strength."

Kim Yo-han stood up from his seat and came in front of Kim Hayan.

Kim Hayan looks up to him a bit confused.

"Close your eyes, sis."

He placed his hand on her head. She follows his words and closes her eyes. She did not know what her brother was up to. But she trusted him.

When the news of her brother's death was brought a year ago. There was no 'body' to be found. She was so heartbroken she did not realize that. But after she calmed down, she became skeptical. For Han Joo-woon conquering that dungeon solo would not be hard but only one casualty?

Kim Yo-han poured his blessing on his sister using his godly powers, only a tiny bit, enough not to be noticed by those cautious gods above.

Kim Hayan felt warm in her entire body. Power ran through every part of her body. It was a surreal and wonderful feeling. This is what those awakened would feel if they were Awakened.

Unknown to Kim Hayan, her entire body shone brightly in the room. Kim Yo-han formed an isolation barrier around the two of them.

"..."

Kim Hayan was lost for words. She could not believe her eyes. She rubs her eyes a few times before her mouth her gape opens. She looks at his brother...

"How's that?"

"T-This.. What is this?"

"Your powers. The potential that was deeply hidden inside you."

"How did you this?"

"I have a skill that could bring the potential of a person."

Kim Yo-han did not lie, but he did not tell her the whole truth. He did bring out her awakened powers. Everyone has potential deep within. However, it's very hard for them to get awakened.

Although, Kim Yo-han tweaked her skills a bit. Her [Light Element] and [Healing] should be at S-rank. The [Holy Purifaction] and [Holy Barrier] came from the blessing he gave to her.

Kim Hayan felt she was dreaming. Her tears fell again. She is very happy this time.
