After killing their first wave of monsters, Alex's group continued their journey.
During the journey, they meet another wave of monsters who attacked them after believing they were easy prey. Sadly for the poor beasts, they couldn't be more wrong.
Alex killed them with his gun. The girls didn't have the time to shine as their man acted faster.
''He is like a child,'' Maria commented, and Artemia nodded.
The group continued but soon was forced to stop because in front of them was a thick fog.
As far as his eyes could see, everything was covered in a thick blanket of white.
Their senses were blocked, unable to reach beyond the fog. The trio exchanged glances and simultaneously grinned. They had the same thought running through their minds.
'Whatever is on the other side, it would be fun.'
Armed with the burning desire to fight stronger opponents, the trio entered the fog.
Immediately, the orange sky sparkled on the land of ice while chilling wind swept past, carrying snow. The snowflakes danced in the air as if under the instructions of mother nature.
Snow rested upon the trees and ground as if it was a cushion, soft and warm, inviting one in its embrace.
''As I thought this is beautiful, white will always be beautiful,'' Alex commented as he took slow steps and watched the footprints he created on the snowy path. Another gentle breeze blew past his face, and this time, the delicate snowflakes landed on his face.
It was as if the previous scenery was not worth anything, and only the current scenery was the only thing that mattered, the true Ice land, the beginning.
The group was alert, expecting to encounter some strong monsters, but strangely they didn't encounter any.
''Strange why there is any monster showing since we walked in?" Alex questioned, turning toward the girls.
''Indeed it's true,'' Maria said, trying to spread her sense to check if there was any monster nearby. Still, unfortunately, her presence detection skill could not detect past five meters, and further detection was impossible.
''Let's continue,'' Artemia suggested, and the other two could only nod as they continued to explore the world beyond the fog. Like this, five hours passed, but strangely they didn't encounter any monster, and night arrived.
The frost energy in the domain of ice and snow was obviously higher at night compared to the day. This also meant the night was not the best time to continue walking. They may be strong they were still far from having an indestructible body.
''Let's a camp here for tonight.'' Alex proposed, and the girls nodded.
Alex flicked his fingers like he was performing magic; immediately in front of him was a large cubic tent.
The cubic tent opened up in a blinding flash. When the flash subsidized, instead of the cube on the ground, there was a camping house.
Alex and the two stepped into the house and walked to the kitchen section. The kitchen was advanced, filled with modern equipment and amenities.
Alex was the one that was going to cook; he took out vegetables from a drawer and washed them under a tap in the sink. He then opened something that looked like a refrigerator where meat was stored, and other consumable foods had been put. Earlier during their journey, he has hunted for wild monsters and beasts that could be eaten. Now, they would serve as their meal.
Behind, Maria took a seat across a table. She was not a good cook; no, she was no cook at all. She didn't even know how to peel an onion, much less the actual cooking. It was not surprising as she was a princess, a real princess from earth; she didn't need to do anything, so she didn't know how to cook. Among the three, only Luna was the best cook, Sakuya could also cook, but she was not that great when it came to ethnic cuisine, only good at cooking some Japanese foods.
Artemia was not like that; as a previous goddess of the humans set on exploring the worlds (dungeons and other things), naturally, she knew how to cook.
The princess sat on Alex's right, and silently, they began eating. It was salad and simple Italian food.
After the dinner was completed, Ashlyn cleaned the table and placed the plates in the dishwasher. She felt this was the least she could do.
Kiba was amused, and he allowed her to do as she pleased.
"Good night," Alex said as he stepped inside his bedroom.
Artemia and Maria nodded as they walked to the room opposite to his.
They decided to sleep separately as the two girls had told him beforehand that they wished to stay between women to speak, and Alex needed some privacy.
Inside the room, Alex opened the window and looked outside. Snow continued to pour heavily while a strong breeze swept forward, carrying chilling air.
''The night here is more beautiful. In this lonely white world, you will leave a trace no matter where you go.'' He mumbled before shaking his head. He latched the window close and, after ensuring the security arrangements were working, lay down on the bed.
He looked at the ceiling, and in a few minutes, the sleep embraced him, and a dream engulfed his consciousness. His original plan was to go to either two worlds to train, increase his skills, and test something, but somehow, the sleep took over his consciousness as soon as his body kissed the bed.
Four hours later, Alex woke up because he had a bad dream. He couldn't remember much of the nightmare he had; only the only thing he remembered was the sensation of darkness shrouding everything.
His nightmare was serious as he even felt in his throat the hot, wet, and metallic taste of blood appearing. He swallowed it down.
''Strange, I seem unable to remember anything. Let's focus on my original goal, to begin with.'' Alex declared finally decided to train. He had done playing around for now.
''I'll be in your care Nyx.'' He said before closing his eyes.
〖I'm waiting for you.〗Surprisingly, Nyx responded, making Alex smile.
°°°°°°
The sky was dark and gloomy as snowflakes continued to pour. Cold winds glided through the air and struck against the windows of a camping house below.
The windows shook and made noises while snow struck on the glass panels, covering them with a blanket of snow.
Through one of the windows, a bedroom came into sight. On the bed, Alex, in a deep sleep, was clutching his fists tightly as sweat dripped out of his pores. From the look, his body seemed to be in great pain; this pain came from his soul, who had traveled to Nyx's world to train.
Tonight, Nyx decided to teach him personally, and the result was complete destruction. He couldn't even lay a finger on her despite the handicap she gave him.
She was too strong; his fastest bullets were reduced to normal speed before Nyx would crush them barehand.
Nyx stopped Alex, who was about to attack her, and asked him a simple question.
''Do you know the goal behind this training?"
Alex mused over for a minute before lifting his head trying to match those beautiful yet deadly ice-blue eyes; even if her right eye was dimmer than the left one, it was still dangerous nonetheless.
''It is because you wished for me to discover more abilities for my Time element.'' Alex finally explained the reason behind tonight's training.
Nyx nodded, not denying that it was exactly as he said, but there was something more she had in mind, and even Alex was not aware of the many changes his body underwent.
''Check your status by focalizing more on your attribute,'' Nyx suggested.
Alex knew she must be talking about the elements he could use.

''Eh? Since when did I have those elements?" Alex was befuddled as he saw a new element added to his original element.
