The Giant's View And Awakening

[Thomas Andre's POV]

I can still remember when the main mage of my guild's party died, a great guy, an A-Rank Hunter too. Loads of potential.

People awaken when they are young; at least 10% of the population does. When a child awakens, they train to increase their power.

Once awakened, testing sites can already determine your potential rank as a Hunter. If you're an E-Rank awakened, your highest potential is becoming a D-Rank above that would be difficult.

Awakened people get strong by absorbing Essence Stones, the cores found within Magic Beasts. The better the stones, the greater, amount of energy one can absorb to strengthen themselves.

However, once you reach your peak, the body starts absorbing less and less. This results in the massive slowing of strength increase.

Anyway, Alexander White was his name; the deceased father of Kara. Since he had the potential of an A-Rank Hunter, he had a great chance of becoming an S-Rank if he trains to do so.

He was the first person to have died in the Scavenger Guild, my guild is still a relatively new one.

He died due to my negligence; I was too overconfident when I tanked a shot, the said shot ricocheted off of me and struck him dead.

It struck him in the heart, but all he asked of me was to help him take care of his wife.

In the spur of the moment, I nodded.

Since I felt his death was due to my carelessness, I broke the news to his wife and promised to financial aid her.

She broke down in tears when I brought the news, and that was when she revealed that she was pregnant.

I didn't know what to do; all I could think of at that time was to embrace the woman who would soon become my Assistant and Manager of the Guild.

I made her my PA because she was mentally unstable at that time; I watched over her and saw the growth of her belly.

Fast forward, she was in the delivery room. I accompanied her; the entire procedure was surprisingly smooth due to there being an awakened Healer.

When the baby was born, I saw the cutest baby I have ever seen; at the time I unknowingly said, Kara.

Much to my surprise, Laura adopted the name and thanked me for accompanying her.

Over the months, I saw Kara grow and even take care of her on several occasions, mainly Laura needing grocery shopping.

Little Kara was an intelligent and well-behaved baby; she didn't cry, throw tantrums, wasn't a picky eater, and always slept when told to sleep.

She always loved it when I floated her around the house, always giggling and pointing at directions she wanted to explore.

Unknowingly I started treating her as my kid, though I didn't know at the time.

I only knew it when Kara all of a sudden called me Papa...ahhhh...I blanked out during that time.

She cried probably due to me not praising her for saying her first word; instead, I quickly hugged her and spun her around, which got her to giggle a lot.

We were soon joined by her mom, she probably heard Kara crying from the baby monitor.

Kara even called her Mama, which resulted in Kara getting hugged. It was awkward for me since I wasn't family but Kara's tiny fingers clung to my shirt...so I couldn't leave to give them bonding time.

From that day on, I decided wholeheartedly that I would become Kara's father figure.

[Three Years and some Months later]

Over the years, Laura and Thomas became closer; they even shared a few secret hugs and kisses along the way...and maybe a few "ins and outs"...but Kara doesn't need to know that.

However, before they did the "Ins and out" Laura and Kara have moved inside Thomas's villa.

They were able to get this close due to a certain someone; tends to act innocent and asked the two of them to kiss like the parents in TV shows...much to their awkward discomfort.

But the more they do it, the awkwardness lessened for the both of them. At first, it was kissing on the cheek; it evolved into secret make-outs.

During those times whenever Kara forced them to kiss, she was the one feeling the most awkward. She mentally stagnated as a college student but is also trying to live a childhood.

Plus, Kara has already viewed Thomas as her actual father, so anyone else can go away.

Kara always had to act angry and hateful towards men trying to flirt with her mom; Kara's mom was a bonafide beauty.

[AN: This happened when Thomas x Laura wasn't a thing yet.]

Kara's mom was even an A-Rank Mage-class Hunter, but she never really pursued the path of a Hunter.

She reached A-Rank in magical strength due to Thomas providing her with Essence Stones; Thomas wanted her to have the power to protect herself and me whenever he wasn't there.

However, the love-making session of the two got revealed when Laura was "suddenly" pregnant, which got a celebration from the family.

It shocked Kara at first, but after a few moments of thinking, it explained why Laura was "glowing" every morning.

Kara was over the moon when she found out that she would finally become an older sibling.

She still remembers when her best friend from her past life always treated her like the younger sister; "Kaga" always took care of her.

Kara pondered about what the "Delivery Man" said but ended up chopping it to her friend answering the survey too.

And if her thoughts are correct, her friend should be in MHA since she always talks about it...more like a rant about how Midoriya is sh-t.

If her thoughts are true, she ends up pitying Midoriya because that delivery man just dropped a bomb in the world of MHA then. A Plot Buster specifically.

Anyway, within three years and some months, Laura gave birth to a beautiful girl. Kara received the honor to name her sister; the name was Aela. Aela White.

The family decided that Thomas's name was too...masculine. Surprisingly Thomas was the one who suggested it.

Aela, as expected, had American blonde hair and ruby red eyes that she got from her father, Thomas.

The surprising thing about Aela was that she wasn't a noisy baby; well...not really...at least she's quiet compared to the average baby.

[Present Day, Kara, 4 Years Old]

"Ha...Huff...Huff" I woke up in the early hours of the night panting, sweating, and breathless. I felt hot and stuffy, almost as if something was bubbling within me.

'What should I do?' I thought, being sick was a first for me in this world.

My mind was getting hazy, it was getting rather hard to think clearly. I felt like a sauna, not inside one, I became one!

'Am I going to die?' I thought to myself since I have never felt this bad before, even in my past life.

"P-Pa..pa" I tried to scream out but what came out was like hoarse sand; only now did I notice that my throat was drier than chapped lips inside a throat.

When I thought nothing could get worse than having a desert inside my throat; pain started to shoot through the entirety of my back.

*Shiclkk!

"ARCKHHHHHHH!" I screamed in pain; the thing I felt in my back was as if the skin in my back was trying to rip itself out.

*Sshhluck!*

*Pop!*

"ACK!?" I couldn't even let out a sound due to the pain; I heard the sound of bones popping from behind me and what came with it was the ripped flesh it came out of.

*thud*

*Thud*

*THUD*

*THUD!*

I heard heavy running steps come but I couldn't really focus because of the pain I was experiencing.

I wasn't some hardened warrior or edgy MC that can simply grit his teeth and wait for the pain to subside; I WAS a college student, emphasize on WAS.

*BOOOOM!*

Soon enough, the door to my room was busted open by whom I assumed is Papa

"KARA!" his voice resounded within the entire room, if someone looked at this without context, they might just think Papa came to abuse me.

"*sob*...P-Papa...it hurts...hic" I said in a tortured tone, at least whatever was practically trying to kill me stopped.

"T-Thomas, what happened to Kara!?" the next to appear was my mom; I couldn't see how she looked as I was too busy clutching on the sheets for dear life.

Unbeknownst to me, my two parents were staring at a beautiful set of platinum white angel wings...slightly bloody though.

But they soon got out of their stupor and rushed to me, "Are you alright!? How do you feel!?" they rained their questions at me.

"*sniff*...slightly better" my words were true, it's probably due to the regenerative powers that I had.

*Grab*

I was carried by Papa but I couldn't help but feel something on my back; I assumed it to be the wings of my Flugel physique.

How did I know? It's because unknown knowledge washed over my brain, telling me how to properly train and control the energy inside of me.

Knowing that I can hide the features that make me look like a Flugel, I did just that and without any pain, my main set of wings hid and disappeared within my body...somehow.

I didn't bother looking at my parent's reaction, I was already comfortable within Papa's arms...and soon enough I fell asleep.

_______________

A middle-aged woman with dark skin, curly black hair, and bright turquoise eyes suddenly shot out of her bed and said something aloud in bated breaths.

"When the time comes that ash rains from the sky, a promise shall bring forth an end to enemies and an age of tranquility."

(CHEERS)

AN: I changed a bit of mechanics in Solo Leveling if you noticed, in this fic, hunters can improve themselves one rank higher. Hunters also start at E-Rank in strength but grow to their Awakened Potential.

Hunters get stronger by training or absorbing the mana inside of Essence Stones or Mana crystals, higher quality means better.

Explanation: If your awakened potential is S-Rank, it means your power up towards the S-Rank will be quite easy. However, if your initial potential is an A-Rank, then reaching S will be hard but doable.

The early chapters are quite boring since I'm fleshing out the world, I don't want a 20 Years time skip just to immediately start the plot.

But don't worry, the chapters won't be unnecessarily dragged.

And if you might have noticed, there are more awakened here compared to the original, but don't worry there's a reason for that.

MC will get more than 1 Set of wings as she grows stronger, eventually getting to the cover.
