No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. -Buddha Felix did not voice the conclusions he came to, not that he really had to; the warden correctly assumed Felix was smart enough to grasp the details of what he was saying, and if he didn't, he didn't really seem to care much. "What series of cases are you investigating?" Felix asked, testing his luck, if he was going to be involved in something this dangerous, he might as well be informed of the risks and consequences, to better prepare himself. The warden gave him a funny smile, answering "You would naturally find out if you live long enough" Felix lowered his head, nodding in understanding. He wasn't even qualified enough to ask for that kind of information! Most depressing of all, he couldn't even call any stakes; even if he did not agree to be bait, the pursuers would still come after him, and at the end, he could only rely on the wardens to protect him. Warden Grey looked up, then guiltily added "Don't be too disappointed, I can give you information about the awakened so you can better prepare and protect yourself" Felix remembered the otherworldly scenes from the chase as he lampooned secretly to himself. Prepare myself for what? To die. Hehe, I would just have to run faster this time. He composed himself, stifling his little internal chuckle at his self-deprecating joke. But what if I encounter an awakened like the gloved warden? In the end, one can never be too prepared. Considering this, Felix asked without any hesitation "How do I become an awakened one?" The warden dropped the police statement on the table as he sat down at his table, answering Felix's question casually. "Simple, join a faction" "A faction?" "Yes, well— not necessarily, but for you it is the only possible way to do so. Awakened ones are not known by the rest of society simply because there are not so many of them. Too many costs go into growing an awakened; you have neither the money, connections, nor the resources to do so" As expected . Felix knew that such valuable information would be tightly guarded; however, the warden's words implied it was possible to do so without these 'factions', although he doubted it would be easy to do so. After all, no matter how well these people gatekeep the information, there would still be ways the information would leak. Alternately, he was not foolish enough to believe a faction would just grow him simply for the sake of it; There would surely be a huge price to pay, besides the obvious loss of freedom. He looked up from the chair, replying to the warden "Well, what if I don't want to join a faction?" Warden Grey shook his head, replying "Impossible …. To even think of becoming an awakened one, you need to have awakening fluid. The higher the grade of fluid, the better your chances of survival. Wealthy tycoons could not even dream of buying a low-grade fluid with a 21% rate of survival, not to mention ordinary people" The more the warden revealed, the more depressed Felix became. How can anyone become an awakened one with these odds? low grade , how many grades were there? 21 % rate of survival. Even wealthy people could not buy a guaranteed opportunity to be awakened; in other words, they did not even stand a chance "After you get the fluid, you need a mandate, each with a script for levels one to nine; only the factions have complete scripts of different classes. For example, the warden faction has the enforcer, warden and detective mandate scripts. If you choose to go solo, you would have to compile all those scripts yourself. Solo awakeners cannot use faction scripts, so they have to discover and compile their own" All classes were not equal . While thinking it through, he noticed this: the quality of those classes chosen by solo awakeners seemed to be lower than the quality of the faction classes. The beast man was so powerful, yet he was easily taken down by the gloved warden with one move. So the obvious re
