Talentless

Zenith municipal, capital city of Premier Territory.

"Detect 432, come forward," a middle-aged man's voice could be heard in the crowded hall of Zenith City.

A lengthy queue was formed before him.

Before long, Detect 432 who was seen to be Keith Rotunda stepped forward without hesitation. His face showed a clear hint of fear as he approached a duo standing in front of the Talent Detection Machine.

Today was the Talent Detection Day and every human at the age of eighteen was summoned to Premier Territory's capital city for talent detection since it was discovered that every single person in the Blue Planet awakens their talent at that age. Keith had waited for this day to come, training day and night just to help his core disclose his talent to his body.

Today, Keith only hoped not to be Talentless.

"Place your palms on the palm prints," the middle-aged man, a Silver-rank Awakened ordered.

Keith quickly placed his palms on the palm prints after heaving a soft sigh. A particular thought kept flashing into his mind, diving his emotions into a river of uncertainty.

'If I turn out to be Talentless, I won't hesitate before killing myself.'

As Keith's talent detection began, he shut his eyes and stood calm. Everyone was watching the scene. The Talent Detection was an event that almost all Awakened would attend. Actually, this was just for the purpose of seeing new strong, and incredible talents. Just like last year, one of the strongest Talent in the whole of the Blue Planet was discovered. However, this talent was nothing to compare with that of the Supreme Warlord and the Lords of five territories of the Blue Planet.

Talents are ranked based on their power and magical capabilities. There are five Talent ranks, each having its features and aspects: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Legendary.

Since the history of the existence of Talents, no one has been able to awaken a Legendary rank Talent. Even the Lords, themselves, could only have a Gold Talent.

However, Keith was not expecting to awaken a strong talent. Who knows if his story could end up like every other member of his clan.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep!

"What?!" Keith bellowed.

The whole building suddenly went noisy, the Detector who was wearing the attire of a Silver-rank Awakened looked at Keith with pity, trying to offer some words of comfort.

"Hey man, this is not the end of the world for you. There are many out there who also could not awaken their talent," the man heave a  sigh and continued, "it's time for you to show that diligent act of yours. Instead of battling monsters, Specters, and Orcs, why don't you just accept being a Commoner and stay behind the walls?"

The Detector's words only added to Keith's sadness, causing him to let out the gathering tears from his eyes. No one from Keith's clan had ever awakened their talent, and this had made them a lineage of Commoners. Keith's dream was to awaken his talent and wipe the shame off his clan, but unfortunately, he was just going to be a part of the shame.

Noticing the mocking smiles and murmurs inside the vast city hall, Keith had no choice but to leave the detection zone and walk out of the building. His gaze was fixed on the floor, making sure that he didn't get a glimpse at anyone. Waves of shame and depression kept lingering in him, driving Keith into remembrance of his plans to end his miserable life.
