Chapter 1: Debt
"Luis, you successfully Awakened, but you failed to awaken the Special Spirit. As per the agreement, you must pay the compensation of your awaken fee of 5 Million Dollars to the Flying Star Empire. If you do not have the money to pay now, you will have to pay it in installments with 10% interest!"
Hearing the words of the Awakener Instructor, the young man called Luis staggered and almost fell on the stage where the awakening process was being conducted.
His skin became deathly pale while his eyes became very red as tears were about to come out.
Awakening promised glory so it was hard for anyone who had the chance to refuse it, but if it was just awaken without awakening any spirits, it was hardly different from a disaster.
Someone would have to pay compensation.
The Flying Star Empire was not from Planet Velos. They were just colonizing Velos, they naturally weren't willing to help for free.
If there are spirits, they do not mind helping for free on the condition of joining the imperial army and this is actually not so troublesome or high-risk as long as there is no war or big fight.
Besides, even if they refused, it wouldn't actually be difficult for them to make a lot of money to repay the debt.
This was different for Spiritless Awakeners.
The difference between Awakener with Spirit and without Spirit can be said to be like the difference between heaven and earth.
This is because those without spirits will not be able to use any skills so their fighting ability will not be very strong.
