Chapter 7: So Poor...
In this world, power meant everything. If you were weak, you were nothing. Simple as that.
There were many ways to become strong—awakening rare talents, inheriting powerful bloodlines, obtaining divine artifacts, or even bonding with a spirit.
Those who had one of these advantages could soar to greatness, while those who didn't... well, they struggled.
But there was one path that even those without talents or bloodlines could take.
The Path of the Weapon Master.
Weapon Masters were warriors who devoted themselves to mastering a single weapon, pushing their bodies and minds to their absolute limits.
They didn't rely on flashy elemental abilities or supernatural tricks. No, their strength came from sheer mastery—honed techniques, powerful physiques, and an unbreakable will.
But their true power came from something else—Intent.
Intent was everywhere. Every law of nature came with its own intent, and every element had it's own intent as well.
By awakening a talent of at least D rank, it was guaranteed to awaken the accompanying intent.
Which means an A rank Lightning talent would also awaken the lightning intent, and if the talent was very strong, they could even receive a special attribute.
