Chapter 3: Eden Registration
I awoke in a hospital room, I looked around the room and noticed to the right of me was a drawer with my phone on top of it. Further to the right was a huge window showing the city below. The room had white walls and gray flooring. On the other side of the bed was a chair, and behind it was the door.
I sighed, recalling most of the moments before I passed out. I got excited again and put my hand in front of me. The moment I put my hand in front of me a golden screen appeared in front of me.
[Welcome to the Salvation System..]
'It wasn't a dream, I actually have a system...'
I quickly checked through the pages of the system, found my character sheet, and opened it.
[Character sheet tutorial is currently on..]

'Oh, that's what blessings are; how interesting. Too bad I can't see the title I got, whatever... I finally got my own system, and better yet it's unique.'
After I completely read everything on my character sheet I turned off the tutorial.
[Character sheet tutorial has been permanently turned off..]
I heard the hospital room door opening, so I closed the system and looked at the door, curious who had arrived. My eyes widened as I saw a man with long dark crimson hair and a bulky structure wearing a basic suit and tie enter the room. He was the man I had idolized since childhood; the savior, Raphael Cross, the commander of heaven's gate, the number one guild in the entire world, that had conquered the tower of lies and the tower of envy. In his hands was a notepad he sat down and began speaking in a very calm tone.
"Your Kim Taejune, Correct?"
I only could nod out of sheer shock that he was here, and he stared at me for a moment and then continued.
"May I ask you some questions, Kim Taejune?..."
I nodded once again, and he began asking me some questions.
"You are a "Sprouted" correct?"
I paused for a moment, before responding.
"I used to be a "Sprouted" but now I have a skill and a system... meaning I've "Bloomed" now.. right?.."
Raphael wrote something down in his notepad before continuing.
"Yes, that would make you a "Bloomed" but when did you "Bloom" Kim Taejune?"
I answered almost immediately.
"Today... I became one today.. "
Raphael wrote once again on his notepad, before asking me something else.
"As you know everyone who has "Bloomed" must be evaluated, correct?"
I simply nodded as he continued.
"After the evaluation test, and in accordance with the new government law concerning 'Bloomed' individuals, I must ask you this last question. If you choose not to accept, that's perfectly fine."
Raphael took a deep breath and spoke in a more serious tone, "Would you like to be a savior Kim Taejune?"
I quickly answered almost instantly after hearing the question, my excitement going through the roof, "Yes, I would like to be one!"
Raphael looked at me seriously before asking to confirm what I had said.
"Are you sure you want to become a savior? It's a dangerous job."
I gave the same response as before; I simply said, "Yes, I do."
Raphael handed me a form; the top of the form read, "Eden Special Registration Form."
I quickly read through it; my eyes slowly widening as I read through its contents:
|Eden Special Registration Form|

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
|Due to the lack of saviors needed to counter calamities and towers, the person signing this|
|form is supported by the government and has decided to become a savior, the reason|
|for this is because they have bloomed not from birth but at a later age, which is a very rare| |occurrence, which means they need to learn about how to be a savior and master their|
|skill(s). If they are under 25 and at least 20, they are allowed to attend Eden for the full 3|
|years, if they are under 20 they may be trained in the school they attend and or have|
|lessons by a savior, If they are 25 and older they can be hired and trained by guilds.|
SPECIAL CASES:
|If this form is a special registration form, that means the person signing this form has killed|
|a calamity and or has done a great amount of heroism to the public and has gained special| |rights in Eden and or from the government as a reward, such as money, special training|
|and classes, artifacts from towers, and equipment made from calamities.|
I stared at the form and back at Raphael. I quickly pinched myself to see if I was dreaming, and realizing I was not, I filled in the form and handed it back to him.
Raphael quickly checked the form, nodded, and then handed me a
"Alright Kim Taejune, you're all set. By tomorrow, you will be discharged from this hospital and after the evaluation you will be an Eden cadet. I hope you succeed there at Eden."
Raphael quickly left. As I stood there, my mind and heart felt like they were about to explode out of sheer happiness and excitement. I felt like I was living in a dream entirely; my former depressive mood from a few hours ago was gone completely. I grabbed my phone and noticed something odd about my reflection through the screen. I quickly went to the camera app and switched the camera to face me. I noticed my normally black eyes were now a goldish color.
I sighed, accepting the changes to my eyes as side effects of becoming a bloomed. I scrolled on my phone once again, once again reading stories about heroes and watching videos about saviors just like my childhood.
