Due to the unprecedented surge in dungeon manifestations over the past thirty days, the Government of the federation hereby declares a national Awakened Mobilization Directive.

The rate of dungeon appearances has increased by 410%, surpassing all containment projections. Due to the occurrence the Federation Dungeon Management Force has exceeded maximum operational capacity.

Effective immediately, all registered Awakeners are required to participate in dungeon suppression efforts.

MANDATORY DEPLOYMENT REQUIREMENTS

1. All Awakeners must enter an officially assigned dungeon a minimum of two times per week.

2. Failure to comply will result in:

Temporary suspension of Awakener licensing

Confiscation of Association privileges

Travel restrictions

Fines and legal consequences under the Dungeon Safety Act

3. Awakeners below E-rank will be assigned to low-risk zones with supervision.

4. Registered high-rank Awakeners (B-rank and above) may be deployed into emergency containment sites without prior notice.

MESSAGE TO THE AWAKENED COMMUNITY

The safety of our nation now depends on the collective strength of its Awakeners.

This directive is not a request it is a necessity for preventing further civilian casualties and ensuring national stability.

Your cooperation is mandatory.

For additional information, monitoring schedules, and assignment updates, please refer to the official AIRB Awakened Portal.

Issued by:

Ministry of internal security.

Awakeners association ( AIRB)

Federation of Asterion.

" This isn't fair!" Blue said while he was still reading," the government is practically forcing people to go and die."

" It's okay, I don't think we'll be sent to a very dangerous dungeon. You can even see the weakest awakeners get protection," he tried to comfort her but he was also feeling the same thing, the government had really screwed people over.

What if someone had PTSD then they are forced into the very dungeons they had because it's mandatory. That's would be a trauma death sentence.

But to him this was an advantage, he could go dungeon diving with a legitimate reason without being scrutinized. With his ability growing and getting stronger he needed a legitimate reason.

The system gave him awakener stones which will help him increase his class but he needed more awakener stones if he had to grow fast.

With the extremest and those vindictive brothel madams he needed to grow faster.

He just couldn't depend on anyone and Laura saving him had been a stroke of luck for him. If she had not decided to visit,he would have been six foot under.

The system although helpful had it's restrictions, the other time it had only lasted for a minute. What if they send a A class or even an S class he would just be slapped to death.

This was the perfect time to grind. He would be able to upgrade his combat skills since most of them were level one and he needed to grind to level up.

He had to stop being so passive and helpless.

He gave her the phone back and gave her a reassurancing smile before heading to his room. He wanted to look at his stats and the rewards he had gotten.

He locked his room and lay down on the bed and summoned the system interface.

He looked at the rewards and smiled it had really come on time the whip upgrade. His affinity with the weapon had been growing but too slow and he wanted the whip to upgrade.

He released the whip and as though a button had been clicked it floated in the air and curled around a red aura floating on it.

A countdown appeared on the system screen.

( Whip enhancement progress: 1%.....5%.....20%....56%....60%...65%....70%...90%....99%)

The interface lit and the whip floated back to his hand. He turned it around looking but couldn't find anything difference it had only grown longer from one point five meters to two meters. At least it got longer.

He clicked the weapons stats.

He tapped on his main status since he had to see and appreciate his growth.

After checking his stats he closed the window and looked at the silver stud in his hand.

It had appeared while he was apgrading the whip. It was the special artifact reward.

He clicked on the descriptions.

He took it and pushed it into his ear piercing through. The earing might be a life savor when attacked suddenly. He might not always notice a sneak attack especially from awakened who had higher rank than him.

He was only at the beginning of C rank although the association ranked him as an E class .

He wasn't about to reveal his true rank yet , it's better if it's know as the prostitute awakened. He was pretty sure if people knew how fast he had grown he would be taken for investigation.

But he didn't plan on using awakened stones anytime soon. He wanted to train his combat ability and consolidate his power.

After looking at his stats and improvement Alaric went to take a bath and prepare for his mandatory visit to the awakened association.

....

Alaric stood Infront of the huge awakeners association building looking at the massive crowd going in. The place was packed full clearly with awakened like him who had come for the mandatory distribution.

Looking around he could see others were some of them were crying while at the doors security was trying to keep rioting crowds in check.

It was obvious that not everyone was pleased with the arrangements but no one was ready to test the federation.

It was known for its cruelty especially to those who don't listen to them. It was a government ruled by the awakened and the rich afterall.

Alaric squeezed through the crowd until he reached the rotating door. There was a guard taking awakened identification before being allowed inside the building. They had clearly increased their guard , which was reasonable with all the angry people out there.

He gave the card to the man who checked and allowed him inside. He headed to the usual booth he had gone to the first time and found a short Line with two people Infront of him.

" Card," the man said after Alaric reached the counter. He gave him his awakeners card and the man typed a few things before giving it back to him.

" Here E class awakened are being sent to D class dungeons since they are almost the same except for number. You should find a team to join. Here is the dungeon pass," he gave him another card .

Alaric took the card and nodded. He left the counter and walked to the seats and sat there. He was just wondering on his own how he was going to find a team.

Looking around he could see that people were clearly familiar with each other. He regretted not bringing kael but he had to be rational since one person had to stay behind and guard the brothel.

He was planning on employing more awakeners people but the rise of the dungeons has made him pause a little.

He knew most awakened right now are still in the high of the official command and he had to wait until they adapted to the program before he could look for people.

It was not like the notice said they had to come every day. They just had to go two times only.

Alaric was thinking of leaving and going to the dungeon site to see if he could find other lonely awakened and they could team up.

He was just about to stand up when a hand touched his shoulder light and a voice followed," do you want to join our team?"
