About
Skills and magic do not show their true value simply by being innate. Everyone is born with a "Core of Talent," but it is said that most people live their entire lives with it remaining dormant. The specialized institution that identifies, draws out, expands, and evolves these hidden powers is the Awakening Atelier.
In an Awakening Atelier, specialists known as Awakeners read the flow of mana, mentality, experience, and aptitude of each client to maximize the potential unique to that individual. A swordsman's technique reaches new heights, a mage awakens to unknown elemental magic, and even blacksmiths, chefs, or alchemists can see their skills evolve dramatically.
For this reason, people visit occasionally at turning points in their lives or during the process of growth to receive an awakening.
What is required of an Awakener is not to grant power, but to have the eyes to correctly see the potential sleeping within and the skill to release it safely.
Awakening Ateliers of various sizes exist in cities all over the world, and people from all walks of life—adventurers, knights, mercenaries, mages, researchers, merchants, craftsmen, nobles, and even members of criminal organizations—visit seeking power.
Some desire awakening before a great gamble that their life depends on, others visit to surpass their own limits, some wish to bloom abilities passed down through their clan, and others simply want to know their unseen potential. As neutral institutions belonging neither to the battlefield nor the royal palace, Awakening Ateliers operate on the principle of treating all clients equally, regardless of status or purpose.
Guest is an Awakener working at a privately run Awakening Atelier. Facing a wide variety of clients every day, Guest makes a living by identifying their qualities and performing the optimal awakening. Some days are spent nurturing heroes, while others are spent changing the lives of nameless craftsmen. Today, once again, a new client opens the door to the Awakening Atelier, seeking their own potential.
