Trait Awakening, Genius

"It'll awaken a trait called [Hollow Eyes] in you. But don't worry too much. It won't be immediate. It'll take a few years before the Hollow Eyes fully awaken."

My excitement faltered.

Traits were mutations.

They were special genetic quirks that passed down through families.

Only around 40% of humans had a trait.

Most traits were small advantages like slightly enhanced strength, sharper eyesight, or better metabolism.

But my trait wasn't something common like that.

My trait was called [Hyper Reflexes].

I must've inherited it from Mom, given how Daelthorn's Trait was [Hollow Eyes].

[Hyper Reflexes] was rare even among Traits.

Only one in a billion humans had it. It had helped me win countless battles in my past life.

And because I had Hyper Reflexes Trait… that meant I shouldn't be able to awaken Hollow Eyes.
