However, at that moment, Tarkan suddenly felt his whole body go soft.
He almost fell to the ground, barely managing to stop himself.
After a long time, the numbness in Tarkan's body gradually disappeared.
A soft chime echoed in his head, followed by a translucent interface flashing before his eyes

[Feral: 0]
[Awakened: 0]
[Crowned: 0]
[Talent: Divine Comprehension (SSS RANK): The All-Understanding]

"Wait… what? A talent?"
Tarkan was instantly overjoyed.
To think he'd awakened another talent. He had thought all along that the timer was his awakened talent.
When the timer awakened with its powers in the first dimension, he'd believed he had misread the information from the library.
Based on the knowledge he had gathered, it had never been recorded before that someone could awaken from the trial ground.
Every single person was only able to awaken after passing the trial and entering the first dimension, the path toward transcendence.
To think he had awakened not just one but two talents was unheard of.
What even baffled him more was that, based on what he had learned from the library, there was only a record of talent ranks ranging from F to S.
F and E grades were considered trash talents and meant your path toward ascension was shit before you even began.
C–D rank talents were mostly common and ensured a good and comfortable life, but even this was based on the talent one awakened.
Some people did awaken C–D rank talents that were trash in practical use, even worse than E-rank talents.
Tarkan couldn't even begin to fathom passing through such a hellish trial only to find out he had awakened an E or F-rank talent.
From B to A ranks, talent users were classified as geniuses and treated like kings among the awakened.
S-ranked talents were considered as gods among ascenders.
There were no recorded displays of how their powers worked, but they were said to be broken freaks of nature.
It was said that out of a population of billions of people, there had only ever been three known S-ranked ability users.
And as far as he could recall, there was no mention of any rank beyond the S grade.
To top it all off, the S-rank talent was seen as the pinnacle of what an ascender had ever awakened.
There was no record of an SS-rank talent, let alone an SSS RANK one.
Maybe it was because Tharn was considered a low-tier world and wasn't given access to such information.
But to him, that seemed like an unwise dick move, because the Ascension Realm didn't classify people as poor or rich, it just gave any graded talent.
There was a theory more like a side note, that said talent grades weren't random luck.
That It supposedly depended on how fast you completed and performed in the awakening
The faster you completed the trial, the greater the chance you had of obtaining a higher rank.
But it was just a theory.
No one really took it seriously.
"Erh… too much brain work," he muttered. "I'm not good in that sort of area and it's none of my business anyway."
He was already awakened, What was there to think about?
Tarkan carefully began reading through the description of his talent.
