The entire storyline goes as follows:

You just became a hero for achieving 2 things: Defeating Lakan and RK-9. The world was in peace once again, and you were AFK'ing around in highwatch as your usual daily routine, brokering, the "role-playing" *coughcough*, reading drama, and whatnot. One day, Braga tells you that you were invited to the Velika Ball, which only special people are invited to. You read the letter (and magically start casting teleport spell to Velika) to attend it.

When arriving Velika, some lady recognizes you for defeating RK-9 and tells you to go to the Ball immediately. She cuts conversation, creates a doppelganger, then the original poofs. You talk to doppelganger and she frowns "i told you to go to ball now" and gives option to teleport to it becuase the Ball is actually an instance, not on the open-world map. You sigh and click teleport, and voila! there's some guards near the gate saying you need an invitation to go through. There's some man who's desperate to go in saying he must talk to Seir as it is emergency as Velika is in danger. You try to help the guy by asking if he can join you, but the guard declined saying "No invitation, no entry. With exception of child..." so he can't get in. the man asks you to at least give this letter to him. you said ok. gate opens and you just walk through as gate opens because it's a game and toggle says there's no collision anymore despite gate being still up.

You go through the festive area and talk to Seir in his usual building, except it's now some sort of thanks giving in there. You talk to Seir who welcomes you and praise you for the achievements, then you tell him about the strange man and the letter. Seir says it's a common thing for people starting some ominous rumors. he said he'll read later as he does not want to ruin the festive mood. he tells you to go outside and enjoy the festival since he is apparently busy while he literally does nothing but stand there.

You walk outside, talk to people, dance, eat free food, win some festival token which the guy tells you that you are one lucky person. It was time for ceremony, so you walk toward Seir who was near the stage. Cut scene. Somehow you're not near seir even if you were literally standing inside him. It's dead quiet until Velik falls from the sky soaked in blood like some cheap horror movie made by college student for his film project. Seir sees this and his face is just man i hate that woman type of angry face instead of a shock. This guy has no expression but that grumpy face. Dragon appears and roasts her down, and you look up in the sky-- WOW A BLACK HOLE AND TONS OF DRAGONS DESTROYING VELIKA. Citizens of Velika has brainlag of 7000ms, and finally runs when it's literally raining brick walls. Cut scene ends.

With all that running, a ton of them died. Corpses everywhere. The ones that were standing still lived though. Remember kids, falling brick walls? just stand still and you have less chance of getting crushed by it!

Seir tells you and other guards to check for survivors and evacuate them. Evacuate, literally walk 20m toward Seir.

Seir asks you to look around some more. You find more bodies and sudden dragon appears out of the blue which you kill anyways cuz main character doesn't die. Looking around you notice that one strange dude trying to get in. He says "at least I don't die alone. Your presence is like having a family." Weird. He dies. Cut scene. Black dragon appears super close-by making loud noises and you don't notice it; not even presence of it. You finally turn around when it's spitting fire directly at you when you're not even paying attention. Nice opening dude, free kill! Mystel appears with super OP barrier that ignores all wipe mechanic. She's struggling but that's okay, you're still alive with your usual idle pose as if nothing is happening (this scene gets even funnier with Elin and Popori). Mystel says "I'm glad I made it just in time; it's too dangerous to go alone, take this!" *hands over some light* You obtained some light that doesn't appear anywhere in your inventory! It's called fragment of destiny. Mystel says something went wrong somewhere in the past, and only you can change the destiny. You somehow port out magically and you're just carefree with the usual idle animation as Mystel is literally putting her life on the line. She sees you teleport safely saying "Please save Velika, I beg you" and she falls, being engulfed in flames. Cutscene ends.

You're wondering where you are despite it being obvious it's Velika. Your character can't hear BGMs probably, so give it a break. Your character says "something is in my pocket, i wonder what it is?" It's your prize token thing you won which has a date on it. Talking to guard and Seir, you apparently time traveled 3 days back. Seir asks you to go investigate Val Aurum as they need reinforcements. You head over to flight platform and talk to some random guy, then an high elf who also creates doppelganger before disappearing, then the doppelganger gives option to teleport. WOW no more ridiculously useless flight time on Pegasus! Cuz it's a solo instance, not an actual open-world map. You talk to people and say hey "im here and i'll lend a hand!" guard tells you to kill 5 dragons. You did. but you dont go back to him cuz you find that strange dude again near a damaged cart. He was a researcher of dragons, saying that something about dragons are strange. both of you travel deeper in val aurum and find strange group of guys in black, that one black dragon and several dragons. they poof. they said something about revenge for Vergos. both of you talk what to do and agree on going further. there's some strange plant which you obvious destroy because apparently that's what heros do, not villains. Dragon spawns, you kill. that dude wants more research. You move deeper to kill another strange plant and dragon. You learn that they worship Vergos like god, and conclude that they are seeking vengeance against Velik who killed Vergos. one of the person in black attacks you. you put her hp 50% she spawns dragon run away, kill dragon.

both of you talk again, goes deeper. large group of dragons are moving, so you go investigate. The camp is full of dead people. go deeper. there's that one person in black that ran away, so you chase. there are people imprisoned that are about to be dragon's food. you kill like 2 dragon per prison cell 3 times. you go deeper and face that person in black again, this time you kill her. apparently they can control dragons but only if they can focus. The dragons move to the strange portal. You decide to jump into it cuz why not? it's an adventure!

you end up in Fyrmount andthat strange guy says he'll call back ups. You find shurians working with dragons, so you kill 2 groups. Shurian leader begs for mercy begging you not to hurt another shurian as they were threatened by dragons. You kill 2 types of dragons twice each. that one strange guy appears with reinforcement saying leave the dragons to them and follow that another dude in black. You follow him through a portal. cut scene.
guy in black approaches black dragon and says "I have failed". dragon's jaw jitters in anger and delivers a heavy swipe on the guy. he flies to the edge and dragon roars. you walk toward the dragon to confront it, but that thing is so powerful that it leaves you with 1 hp. You soliloquize, "am i going to die here?"

**QUE TYPICAL SHOUNEN MANGA PROGRESSION**

your consciousness is still awake and mystel's destiny light thingy is calling you from center of the map. you touch it and your vision turns weird as your "consciousness is inside your own mind". You have to fight "your inner self" which has full of emotions like reget, grief, remorse, confusion, etc. You fight several mobs. then you are being taunted by your other consciousness, mocking you as it griefs about how weak you are. You unlock awakening skills just by accepting that you're gonna fight it out-- and you fight a BAM. do this 3 times. Mystel appears saying you've awoken your powers-- i've been waiting. cut scene of you with casually standing idle pose and a huge beam of light striking down at you-- you're still doing that carefree idle pose. you come back to reality, and that black dragon calls you "Inferior Mortal!". You suddenly got so powerful that the attack which almost killed you before dont even break a sweat. In the end you use one of your signature Awakening skill to blow him away, causing him to fall off the cliff.

No one cares about that other dude in black that was knocked away by the dragon.

You talk to mystel and blah blah blah, "i've fiddled with mortals too much once again" uh, excuse me, but you said you only showed yourself to the main character? she just teleports you out to highwatch. Braga is calling you saying that you're invited to the Ball. You do the same thing, read the invitation to teleport to velika. You talk to that same lady who creates a doppelganger, poofs, and ports you to Ball. That dragon researcher guy recognizes you and says he's also invited to the Ball thanks to you. creepy. suddenly everyone disappears and mystel appears. she congrtulates you on your success and says that she had used too much power to intervene such event with mortals, and poofs. NPCs spawn again, you talk to guard and gain entry. You run to Seir, who congratulate you for the achievement as well as saving velika once again from dragon's harms. he said he's busy preparing something so he tells you to go enjoy the festival. instead of dancing, eating, and playing a game, you watch a play. it has no context but apparently it's a great show because the woman in the play was goddess velik and everyone was shouting WHAT A PLOT TWIST! You talk to 2 barakas in the area then talk to Seir. The ceremony ended. And you go talk to Seir again. For completing all these quests, you collected 8 Mystel's scroll fragments. You use all 8 and it creates some trophy. It expands max Glyph points by 5.

And what are doing Zolyn and Paesyn there :0

Yes. As I pointed out: "Typical shounen manga".

it's not only restricted in manga/anime, but many times the whole schematics of "awakening some sort of power" has to do with fighting with emotion, past, trauma, or even yourself. During that part of awakening quest, it's all 4.

You're fighting that dragon that will kill goddess Velik if you don't stop him, but you were defeated by a single attack. You think it's the end until you hear Mystel's calling and your consciousness drifts away toward it to go through these trials within your mind.

TERA is full of stories that have no hopes and dreams. There's even a side quest about a guy who had erectile dysfunction or something and he felt bad for his girlfriend because of his condition. So he hear that Unicorn horns are great Viagra or something, so to please her *coughcough* he goes out to search for it. Later you arrive to town and his girlfriend asks you to find him-- only to find his lifeless body laying on the ground near unicorns. It's pretty sad really. There's even Fraya and Kaidun love story which is a spoiler for main quest, and the most famous one is Zolyn and Paesyn.

When you talk to Zolyn and Paesyn's floating bodies, they say something about how you saw people die right in front of you, and you could not do anything about it-- or didnt do anything about it. It questions about your "capability" of truly being a hero because you really did not save people; you sacrificed them like meat shield to get to the position you are in now. It tests your emotion, bringing out the feeling of regrets, remorse, and anger. Your character went through several traumatic events, witnessing countless of deaths in various forms.

I made joke about how your character is "carefree" with their "idle pose as if nothing is happening" not just because I'm criticizing BHS's laziness in making such cinematics that could be polished much further with better transitions and character acting, but it's more of because how it breaks the entire mood of story telling due to it-- really, Elin just does that one of their idle animation where they they do that little bouncy dance while looking around while Mystel is literally suffering as she holds up the barrier for you. Imagine a popo doing their little bouncy turn-around dance or baraka zoning out to point at invisible glyphs in mid air.

then again, i already forgot the actual texts from those. I'll have to do the entire quest again and actually write or take screenshots of all of them to properly analyze.

The awakening quest isn't directly related to main story btw; i's more like a side story for filler to have some excuse to why you get awakening. I personally feel the story telling in it is actually well made for side story though.

I love how no one is acknowledging Goddess Mystel's death before getting sent back in time.

Poor Mystel

and she gave us her wings. >:C

(Please don't take this serious, lol)

Manahan The very first god who set foot on Arborea from Arun and Shara's dreams. He is currently exiled in Akaia, which is a rift he created during his attempt to break open the world wall so that he can travel beyond, as he craved for learning new stuff.

Ishara During the second Raganarok, she was still in the gods realm when Lok used his last remaining power to seal it. No one can go in or out of it unless the seal can be broken or something. She's technically alive if she was unharmed.

Saleron, sounds like he's suffering from schizophrenia or something, but that's because he's been sealed in Doomcrypt and haven't had activity in a while. It's similar to how you actually do feel weaker if you don't see the sun for a while.

Seren, currently concealed herself in Lake of tears, watching over Elins, Poporis, and High Elves. She chickened out when other gods were being killed left and right during second ragnarok. Since Elinu and she were BFFs, she decided to watch over Elins, poporis, High Elves and the nature in Elinu's place.

Karas, he disappeared after going mad due to loss of his waifu Elinu and snapped when he heard that Balder and Lok went missing after Thulsa's raid where Isren was murdered. He cursed Arborea in darkness when he left No one knows where he is, but he's Manahan The very first god to set a foot on Arborea out of Arun and Shara's dreams. He's currently exiled in Akaia-- a rift which he had created on World wall at his attempt to break it to travel beyond it.
alive.

Sikander His flesh is soul-less, but that doesn't mean he's completely dead. We don't know where Sikander's Flame went, which is his soul.

Velik Currently watching over Velika. She's apparently quite powerful but she refuses to use her powers after the ending the Civil Unrest herself by shedding blood of many people. She prefers peace after this event which apparently caused trauma.

Kaia Currently watching over Kaiator. She's very weak now, only with enough power to keep herself alive.

Zenobia Currently residing in Westonia... not really much is known about her.

Mystel Guardian of World wall after Balder's death. Now world wall is called Mystel's Path and her role has very heavy theme of destiny and trials.
