Chapter 8: CHAPTER 8 – Talk with Alice 1.

Alex was sitting in his room on the chair while looking at Alice who was holding back her tears, but her breathing was hitched.

Seeing all this, he just couldn't sit still. He got up from the chair and gave her a tissue, he knew that it was not right to just pat or hug a girl when she thinks of you as a stranger or worse, she is doubtful of you.

However, even if he did that while using his full charm, he knew that she would just blush and keep her head down, but right now she was still wary of him and he needed to remove that wariness.

"C-can you at least tell me where his body is?" She asked Alex with a pleading voice, she knew that she couldn't demand anything from him, so, she just requested.

"Do you remember what I said before?" He asked her while shaking his head. Alice looked at him quizzically, since she couldn't understand which line he was talking about.

"I said that I am Alex but I am also not the 'Alex' you knew, right?" Seeing that she didn't understand what he meant, he asked her again.

Alice didn't say anything and just looked at him as she had heard him say that before, but she didn't understand what it meant and even now she couldn't understand the meaning behind this line.

"I said that he died because of his power, right?" Not getting an answer from Alice he asked again and this time Alice nodded.

"It was because his body couldn't handle the power that was dormant in his body and after drinking the Awakening potion his power might have become Active causing his death."

"Yes, that's right," Alex said hearing her reasoning, and then he continued, "It's this power." As he said that, he made a ball of destruction appear in his hand.

Alice became tense when the ball appeared, she could feel the raw power of destruction it had.

She knew that if he used that power on her, she wouldn't even be able to do anything but die. Even though she knew that he could defeat her and their confrontation would end in her loss, she still felt there were some chances of her escaping.

But seeing him use that power she knew that even running away would not be possible and that made her more tense and frustrated.

Tense because she knew that she would not even be able to escape if he wanted her not to, and frustrated because as an S-ranked raider, she had never felt this helpless.

But when she realized the meaning of his words, she became even warier.

"You are from another world? That's not possible. There is no other world." Alice said in a tone that clearly said she was not buying it. Alex also understood that since the people of this world had yet to find even a single inhabited world other than their own. But...

"Did you ever think that using magic was possible before the Gates appeared? No right, but you can use magic now. It's the same for other worlds as well, you just haven't found them yet." Alex reasoned calmly.

He knew there were many other worlds out there and many other things as well, but he was not going to explain these things to her since he could see that she was having a hard time believing even what he had said.

"B-but it's not possible, how can there be any other world." Alice was still having a hard time believing it, so, Alex said something that she might be able to believe.

"What do you think a Gate is? Where do you think the monsters inside of it come from? They are not from this world from what I know, and they disappear once we kill them. So, don't you think they might be from some other world? The gate never creates monsters, it only stores them and you might have known that as well." As Alex continued his words, Alice also started thinking about his words and somehow, they made more sense than any other speculations done by the scientists.

She looked at him straight and asked. "How strong are you?"

"Hmm, strong enough that no one in this world would be able to defeat me," Alex's reply was relaxed but there was deep-rooted confidence in his words that could not be hidden.

This made Alice realize that he might be stronger than she had thought and his evaluation in her mind.

"Is there anything else you would want to know?" Alex asked her as he saw her in deep thought.

"Yes." She replied and Alex waved his hand, telling her to continue.

"You said Alex's power was so strong that his body couldn't handle it and he died, right?" This was something she wanted to know.
