"I wish I can just enchant and enhance my items infinitely and without any chances of failure!"

I shouted as I looked at the screen with a glare, the screen prompted if I would continue enhancing my item, its probability was now below 14%.

I have been failing enhancement of weapons and armors since earlier thus I have been cursing a lot.

I threw my phone on the bed and threw myself on the bed as well but as I did a window appeared by my vision.

"Eh?"

It was peculiar. Of course it was!

I'm not wearing AR gear or anything, it hasn't even been created yet!

No... is this?

"Did I just awaken!?"

Awakening.

This phenomena happens when a person recieves an ability to fight the monsters.

Yes, they exist.

The only reason we are able to take this laid back life far from danger was because the awakened people have been fighting off monsters.

It is a harsh job, but the payment is good enough so it cancels out.

This has occured for more than 15 years now.

And this phenomena have become rather normal though still quite rare.

I guess in game lingo it would only be UC rarity.

I am now turning 20, I'm quite the late bloomer aren't I?

I looked at the window that appeared in my vision intensely.

[You have Awakened to an ability]

[Connection to the system had been recognized]

[Welcome, Player June Carrell]

"I guess I really did awaken... how do I look at my status again... it should be 《Status Open》"

[Name: June Carrell| Level: 01| Life: 100/100| Mana: 30/30| Ability: Enchant Items, Enhance Items, Eyes of Item Discernment]

Its description was quite straight forward though weird somewhat as well.

[Enchant and Enhance any items without a chance of failure. Unless the item surpassess the level it can be enhanced or exceeds the enchantment slots there will be no chance of failure. Uses 10 Mana per Enchant, Uses 5 Mana per Enhance]

[Eyes of Item Discernment allows the caster to see the item's maximum enchantment slots and enhancement level as well as the items durability.]

Aren't I awesome? Though my second skill was somewhat common for support class awakened.

S-Should I try it?

I looked at my shirt and a window display appeared.

[Rarity: Common| T-Shirt|Enhancement: 0 (Max:3)| Enchantment: None (Max: 1)| Durability: 33/50]

"So it can be enhanced about 3 times and can only recieve a single enchantment huh?"

How do I enhance it though?

As if to answer that question a window appeared prompting.

[Would you like to Enhance [Normal T-Shirt]?]

I thought "Yes" and the another window appeared.

[- 0 +]

I looked at the plus button and thought of "tapping" it three times.

[- 3 +]

I tried tapping it one more time and without a doubt it increased by one.

"So it doesn't restrict you to increase it."

You are fully in control in how much you'd like to enhance an item huh, even if you know its past its maximum enhancement level.

I wonder what'll happen?

I tapped [Enhance] and as the level of enhancement surpassed the third level.

"Waah!?"

The T-Shirt was ripped to shreds...

"..."

That was surprising...

I didn't think it would blow up...

"What if that wasn't a shirt but a metal object?!"

Just the thought of it was horrifying.

It wouldn't be such a pretty picture after all.

Now that I know that I shouldn't go above the maximum level enhancement or possibly enchantment, everything will be safer for me as well.

"I only have 10 more mana left... I don't really know how much time is needed to replenish my mana back."

A single enchantment is what I can do...

I took another shirt from the cabinet and activated the Eye of Discernment once again.

[Rarity: Uncommon|T-Shirt| Enhancement: 0 (Max: 5)| Enchantment: None (Max: 2)| Durability 55/60]

It's a shirt I bought in a bargain sale, I thought it was rather cool so I bought it immediately, to think it has a rarity of Uncommon.

It also has a enhancement of 5 levels that's awesome! I can also put 2 enchantments maximum!

Hm?

Enchantment!

Yes!?

Let's see... Enchantment Options!

[Enchantments: Life Up, Mana Up, Life Regeneration Up, Mana Regeneration Up, Defense Up, Strength Up, Magic Up, Vitality Up, Agility Up, Sense Up etc...]

I tapped Mana Regeneration Up and three more option showed up.

[Mana Regeneration % Up]

[Mana Regeneration % of Max Mana Up per second/minute/hour]

[Mana Regeneration + (0.00) up per second/minute/hour]

"Yes, this can work!"

I choose the second option and put it to 100%.

"And it'll be per second..."

[Enchantment Success Rate: 100%]

"With this unreasonable enchantment it's still 100%, I guess the description of my skill was true."

I tapped Enchant [T-Shirt] and the process immediately started, contrary to my expectations, there was no visible process scene, it ended as fast as it began.

I even thought that it may have failed...

I activated my ability and looked at the T-Shirt.

[Rarity: Uncommon|T-Shirt of Mana Regen| Enhancement: 0 (Max: 5)| Enchantment: Mana Regeneration 100% of Max Mana Up per second (Max: 2)| Durability 55/60]

The shirt's name changed as well...

"Well then, shall I test if it works?"

Wearing the T-shirt, my body felt rejuvinated as if the tiredness that I felt after using my abilities were a lie.

I immediately checked my status and saw my mana was filled up.

"This is awesome!"

Learning about it, I began to enchant everything in the cabinet.

This has been going on for about five hours now, my mom came in earlier as I have yet to get out of my room once.

I haven't told her about awakening as I didn't want her to worry.

I mean normally awakened beings awaken at the age of 15 or 16, though there had been precedents of ages 16 and up awakening before but even so it was rare.

My mom would think that I probably hit my head thinking I was awakened in desperation.

The life we led was decent, my mother had a stable job as a manager in a company and my father was a policeman, I had two sisters and two older brothers, I am the very definition of a middle child.

We ate three times a day, and I couldn't ask for anything more.

I didn't have a tragic back story, I guess I was just spoiled.

Still, I idolized those who were awakened but upon learning that I didn't awaken at the age of 15, I felt disappointed at myself.

I began to fail classes, repeat years until I could no longer do it, go to class.

I closed myself inside my room.

Playing games, sleeping, eating.

Rinse and repeat.

Thinking about it now, I am really spoiled.

My parents worry, but never forces me to do things I don't want to do.

They keep on encouraging me.

Maybe now...

I can finally help ease their workload.

"... Well, this ought to do it."

I enhanced and enchanted almost all of my clothing.

"And my mana vessel has increased a bit too!"

[Name: June Carrell| Level: 01| Life: 100/100| Mana: 97/97| Ability: Enchant Items, Enhance Items, Eyes of Discernment]

[STR: 4| VIT: 10| MND: 9.7| SEN: 3| AGI: 2]

[Current Equipment]

- T-Shirt of Mana Revitalization - Increased Life and Mana Regeneration 100% of Max Life and Mana per second.

- Ring of Stamina Rejuvenation - Increase Stamina Regeneration by 55%.

- Necklace of Divine Protection - Negates 85% Physical and Magical Damage.

And all of these equipments are merely common rarity.

I guess I'm lucky that I have enchantment slots for most of my common rarity items and accessories.

It seems it is much rare to see an enchantment slot in a common rarity item than I thought.

And having two slots of enchantment for uncommon rarity items are as well, I wonder how much I could sell these for?

I tried not to put a strong enchantment on one of my items since I thought of selling it through an underground market.

[Rarity: Uncommon| Biding Armor| Enhancement: +5 (Max: 5)| Enchantment: Absorb Physical 50%, Absorption Strengthening| Durability: 120/120]

This armor, I asked it to be bought to me when I turned fourteen, because I thought I was going to be an awakened by the time I turned 15. Well, there goes my dreams.

It was a real letdown.

Anyway, I tried not to put unreasonable type of enchantment in this thing. It's name changed into Biding Armor. In theory, it will absorb 50% of the damage dealt and that 50% will strengthen the wearer or maybe strengthen the armor?

Yeah, I have no idea how my ability works.

But in any case it should work either way.

I heard about an armor that have the same effect before so I assume its not that rare.

I'll think long and hard about how I'll go with this but for now, even though I'm not physically exhausted I do feel a bit tired, I guess I'll sleep.
