Chapter 7

Mary had a hectic day. From the day of her awakening, her life is no longer hers. She doesn't have any freedom to choose to do what she wants, since the moment of her awakening.

As one with SS-Rank class, she was immediately transferred to a safe location. Even her parents were quickly brought away. They are not stupid to only protect her. If anything happens to her family, she may even fall before she can rise, and rise to the top is what is needed from her.

After they pulled her away, the higher-ups quickly made a decision on how to protect her. She needs to enter dungeons for hunting. Only by leveling up could be strong enough to protect herself.

The city has a few newbie dungeons. They assigned a 2nd Rank bodyguard to intervene only when her life is in danger. She could sweep through the dungeons easily and easily she did.

When people awaken they are at level 0 and Rank 0. When one's experience reaches level 20, it is when one can progress to Rank-1. Though this isn't automatic, as one had to go through a trial or quest, which depends on the awakener.

The 2nd Rank trail appears at level-50. When one considers these trails, the difficulty increases as rank increases. So a second-ranker bodyguard could easily swipe through the newbie dungeons.

With such security, Mary quickly leveled up. She reached level-5 in the span of just more than a day. This can be said as unprecedented. No one ever has reached that level by the end of day one after awakening.

When she returned late at night after a day of dungeon diving, she heard the news from the capital. The leaders of the alliance decided to groom her perfectly so that she could become a pillar of humanity and could even reach the level of the five gods.

It was decided that after she reached level-20, she would directly enter the top university of her choice as a special entry.

The perk is that she starts well before anyone else. There is still almost a month before the test. Even after that, the admission wouldn't happen until a month after the test. This means she gets almost two months' head start.

As a special student, she can enter any dungeon with a guard. She would also be provided with a residence for herself and her family which would be guarded 24X7.

Though the protection wouldn't live long, it still costs a lot for the alliance. This would cost her in the future.

She would be dancing in the palms of the alliance. She wouldn't have the freedom of her choice.

Mary knew that this could bite her in the ass in the future but she had to take this gamble. Her family's life is in danger. She was happy that she awakened a top class but this also placed a target on her back. Her family could become collateral real quick if the alliance withdraws the protection.

The only way to be safe and to have no restriction in her choices is to become the god of humanity, a level only five reached in entire history.

She knows that this won't be a walk in the park but five did before her and the conditions for them were much worse than what she is in now. Only with those five present did humanity reach new levels.

The times were harder when they awakened. This was so true for the first one as there was no guardian to watch over them.

Those five had it worse when they started out but because of their humanity stands in a better position.

These five normally wouldn't involve themselves in alliance matters of ruling unless it is important. Though they abide by the alliance, they don't have a leash on them.

She decided that she would be the sixth. The only way to make sure that the alliance wouldn't put a leash around her neck.

This would be her goal to reach. For now, she needed to reach level-20 as soon as possible. She may need help to complete her trials for the rank-up.

She quickly got to rest. The next day, it would be super busy for her.
