For anyone that doesn’t understand the first few chapters of the novel about the hidden piece then allow me to simplify it.1. You can obtain runes through repeated actions, for example, swinging a sword 2001 times, firing arrows 1880 times, etc.2. You need to be or have the talent to be a holder for you to obtain a rune through repetition3. This is a big one that people in these comments probably skimmed over, but you need to know about the specific rune you want to acquire to obtain it through these means, meaning you have to know to swing your sword to get the sword rune4. This is extra and is two points but for one you don’t just swing your sword but swing your sword a certain way to obtain the sword rune so this would probably function for other runes as well, and for two it’s only stated that no one knew this method existed prior to the first sword rune awakener doing so, not that there were possibly others who had awakened runes over time through the methods that we know or don’t know of.I think people heavily missed the point that only the sword rune awakener was documented as the first one to do so and that only the methods weren’t know not that no one did or the fact that it wasn’t a conscious effort made by such people and that they only viewed it as another awakening or smt. Just a little train off thought for readers
