The following day, Alex woke and did his morning exercise; he checked his sister; she was still sleeping; when Alex returned to his room, he decided to check his status; the tiredness he felt the previous day had disappeared.
''Status.'' He mumbled.

A lot of things have changed since the last time he checked his status. He had gained five levels; he usually should have gained more than that; however, when he remembered that sensation, what that voice told him, he could more or less understand what happened. To understand more what happened, Alex directly clicked on one of his new special abilities.
{Death Bullet: A special bullet which can kill anything, yeah, anything that exists. However, when used on a stronger opponent, a cost needs to be paid.}
Whistle!
Alex whistled, his blood started boiling; he couldn't believe that there existed such OP ability in the world; no wonder Nyx's got named the Death goddess.
Whoosh!
Silveria appeared; she sat in front of Alex.
Even without being told, Alex knew what that look means, what Silveria want.
''Your sister is indeed extraordinary. To be able to kill anything, what an OP ability. If I'm not wrong to condense and unleash the death bullet that killed two persons above my Level, I had lost 3 Ranks meaning I fall back to Rank 7. I guess it, right?"
''Exactly, it's as you have guessed. Because to eliminate those two, you sacrificed three Ranks. In return, because of my special ability, you have gained back your lost Ranks plus some extras every time you sacrifice a level, only when the opponent is stronger than you. You will gain XP; it's not a loss. However, let's me warn first, let's say, for example, if you wish to kill Demi-God existence with your current strength, I can assure you that you will lose all your level, even more, your life force might be sucked, so better not recklessly try using this ability, do not believe that you have become invincible.'' Silveria took her time to patiently explain to Alex how her sister's ability works and that he should not get too complacent.
The excitement that what rushing to Alex's head immediately cooled down; he knows that there is no free meal in this world to get something you should pay the right price; the same could apply in this case. However, Nyx's ability is a sure kill; a fair price was needed to unleash it; this was in order to balance things; if not, would the master of Death guns immediately slaughter a God if there's no restriction? Yeah, they will try; therefore, appropriate measures should be put forth to balance things; even so, Nyx's ability is still broken.
''Finally, my Gift title appeared: Death Guns. I believe that the newly acquired title Death Master is because I'm the owner of Death guns, isn't it?" Alex asked, his eyes drawn on the Death Master title.
{Indeed, it's because you're our owner.}
Unexpectedly, this time it was not Gracier who answered but Nyx. Alex was surprised as he didn't expect her to answer him, at least not too soon.
''Big sister, how are your seals? Did you break all your restrictions?" Silveria was delighted that her cold sister decided to participate in the conversation.
From Silveria's words, Alex was able to deduct that Nyx was still trapped; it was why she still has not shown up after the two guns have finally been unsealed.
{No, it will still take some time. I just came to say hi! Goodbye,} Nyx said before going into silent mode.
Silveria's face twitched; she could not help but think. 'If you came to say Hi! Just directly say so.'
Meanwhile, Nyx's reply, Alex couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up. He found this cold girl to be unexpectedly cute; if she were present, he would have liked to pet her head.
The moment that this dangerous thought crossed Alex's mind, he felt a cold chill followed by Nyx's voice.
{Do you wish to die?}
Nyx's voice made the air around Alex turn chilly; it was almost turned into a substantial cold breeze that froze the entire world around him.
''What? What did you so say to her?'' Silveria noticed what was going, so she asked.
''Nothing! Let's move on to the second ability.''
Alex switched subject; he was not going to say that he found Nyx's reply to be cute, that he wished to pet her head because of that.
Silveria eyed Alex suspiciously; however, seeing that Alex didn't plan to answer her and she couldn't ask her sister, Silveria decided to drop the matter.
''That is not my sister's second ability. First check Freeze, we will talk about my sister's second ability once you are done.'' Silveria corrected Alex's misunderstanding about Freeze being Nyx's second ability.
Alex nodded before checking, Freezing description.
[Freeze: The ability to momentarily stop time for a second. Can stop anything; however, the stronger is the opponent, the more MP it will consume.
Basic MP consumption: 2000 MP
Note: It can evolve.]
''What does the last note mean?" Alex inquired; however, just as Silveria was about to answer, ta voice followed a movement outside Alex's room
''Lex, Gracier has woke up.''
