Half of an hour later Alex woke up feeling refreshed. He sat down before glancing at the hovering Silveria.
''I thought you wouldn't show up,'' he said.
Noticing the displeasure in Alex's voice, Silveria chuckled and apologize.
''My bad, I don't want to scare the little rabbit that was trying to become a wolf. I was watching everything from afar, just that I have concealed my presence.''
Alex didn't say anything as he understood her reasoning. Silveria smiled after she noticed that Alex wasn't really angry.
''By the way congratulations on completely unlocking the second seal. With this seal unlocked you have now become more powerful. Well, the road is still long.'' Silveria congratulated him, she didn't forget to warn him to work harder as the road ahead is still long, it is just the start.
''I know. I shall check my status to see what I have gained.'' Alex said, eager to check his new status after he managed to kill the Big Boss of the Endless Forest.
''Status,'' Alex called out, and automatically his status' window appeared right before his eyes.

Alex was pleasantly surprised to see that, unlike the previous times where he only gained stats points after killing the boss, this time not only he gained some stats points (30 points), he even levels up once. He couldn't help but be pleased as one should know that when one's Rank becomes higher leveling up isn't a joking matter, therefore every level became precious.
''Well, it should be expected. Ceros isn't an easy opponent. He should have given that much benefit after successfully killing him. I'm more interested in the new skill you have acquired.'' Silveria said prompting Alex to turn toward his new skill.
From the name alone you could see that it was a pretty nice skill.
[Shadow Shift: Ability to freely switch place with anything within your sight.
Current level: 1
Range: 20 meters
Cost: 300 MP]
''Wow! What a pretty nice skill. Now I have finally understood why he was able to switch place with my attack back then.'' Alex said while recalling how Ceros escaped danger by switching place with his Flame bullet.
''Why not trying using it to see how it works?" Silveria suggested, she couldn't hide the shine in her eyes. This skill was the reason why she suggested to Alex to use 'Snatch' to finish Ceros.
Without being told Alex had already moved to test his new skill.
Launching one of his throwing knives in front of him, Alex executed his new skill, the target of his skill was naturally the knife he had just thrown.
''Shadow Shift.''
Alex felt his body blurred and in the next instant, he appeared in the spot where the knife should have been. Meanwhile, his knife took his place before falling to the ground.
''Awesome.'' Alex honestly praised. This is a godly skill. Used wisely you can do a lot of damage to your enemy.
''Indeed. It was an awesome skill. It was because he possessed this skill that I found it to be a waste to kill him, the reason why I keep him.'' Silveria explained the reason why she kept Ceros instead of killing him.
Alex couldn't help but pity Ceros, if only he knew why he has been kept alive, he would have died of a heart attack as he never knew that it was because of this particular skill he possesses that Silveria chooses him among the other captives.
''Well, I'm happy to have acquired this skill. I wonder what happened back then? What war did I saw when I used my death eye on him? Did my predecessor participated in this war?"
Curious Alex couldn't help but raise a bunch of questions.
Silveria couldn't only sigh helplessly as she had expected this question the moment Alex fought Ceros. Smart as he is, he must have noticed few things. Silveria started to recount what happened.
It was the first war, Alex's predecessor participated in. He fought against the army of an ambitious Overlord that wanted to dominate the other races out of blue.
Enraged the other races sent their champions, Alex's predecessor was one of those champions, it was a tough battle as that Overlord was like the God of an entire race. It wasn't easy to take him down.
Thinking about it now, it was after that battle that thing started to go awry. Someone, who was living harmoniously with the other races turned violent all of sudden and shouted dominance.
''We were too blind back then if not we must have noticed that something was awry or some had noticed but choose not to do anything because human nature is and will remain unpredictable. When there's a common enemy they will join hands and fight, however, after it's done they will turn against each other. I wonder why the creators created us to be like this.''
From Silveria's words, someone seemed to be in the shadows, controlling that Overlord to act as he did. It was scary to think that there was someone powerful out there that can control an Overlord without the other being able to resist. One should know that being Overlord is not an empty title, a weakling will never get that title, only the strongest of the strongest, someone that stands at the Apex of his race will receive that title. And to think that person was easily controlled.
Just by imagining who should be powerful, crafty enough to control an Overlord, Alex felt a chill crawling up his spine and his face turned ashen.
'What can he do if one day he were to face such enemy?' Alex started to think about a possible way to deal with such an enemy as it is pretty clear that strength alone wouldn't be enough to deal with such an enemy. You need to be crafty, scheming as your enemy, or else you will lose.
Seeing her master so concentrated that he lost track of time, a smile blossomed on Silveria's face.
Few minutes passed before broke free from his thoughts, he sighed before saying.
''I do not know what I will face, no, we will face but I hope with your experience you will help me, help us to not make the same mistake as our predecessor. I'm not ashamed of begging for help but I will ashamed if have not tried when I can because I believe that there is no medicine for regret no matter how powerful you are. Even if you are powerful enough to control time as there are some things you can correct even if you go back in time.''
Alex was too focused on what he was saying if not he would have seen the mysterious glint that passed through Silveria's eyes when he talked about time.
''Indeed. You said something profound there. If I don't know I would have said that you are some thousand years old monster. Don't worry, we will try to help you to the fullest of our capacity. Sorry, if there is something we can't tell you right now. Smart as you are I believe that you know that there are some things better left unsaid until it's the time is ripe.''
Alex nodded his head as he believes that as well.
Recalling something Alex said, ''You said that you wonder what the creators were thinking for creating us as we are?"
Silveria nodded her head wondering why Alex brings this out.
''Well, I believe it is because the creators are imperfect, to begin with as there is no perfect thing in this universe. Maybe we have been created as an experiment.''
Intrigued by what Alex was saying, Silveria inquired.
''How so?"
''Well, maybe the creators want to become perfect through us. He wanted to learn through our mistakes.'' Alex said.
Silveria's eyes were widened opened, she had never thought of such a possibility, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded at the prospect that what Alex said held some truths to it.
Even the stoic Big sister was surprised by Alex's hypothesis.
Only if they knew that at the moment somewhere, extremely far were a group of people shrouded by a mysterious light, making it impossible to see their features.
When they heard Alex's hypothesis, they all chuckled finding Alex amusing.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Half of an hour later Alex woke up feeling refreshed. He sat down before glancing at the hovering Silveria.
''I thought you wouldn't show up,'' he said.
Noticing the displeasure in Alex's voice, Silveria chuckled and apologize.
''My bad, I don't want to scare the little rabbit that was trying to become a wolf. I was watching everything from afar, just that I have concealed my presence.''
Alex didn't say anything as he understood her reasoning. Silveria smiled after she noticed that Alex wasn't really angry.
''By the way congratulations on completely unlocking the second seal. With this seal unlocked you have now become more powerful. Well, the road is still long.'' Silveria congratulated him, she didn't forget to warn him to work harder as the road ahead is still long, it is just the start.
''I know. I shall check my status to see what I have gained.'' Alex said, eager to check his new status after he managed to kill the Big Boss of the Endless Forest.
''Status,'' Alex called out, and automatically his status' window appeared right before his eyes.
