Months have passed, precisely, three. You spent it all by mostly studying and farming with Alex. The woman was kind enough to offer her place for free but you insisted on helping her clear the area and assist her when she bakes. And in the process, she taught you how to use a bow properly, throw knives accurately and how to plant certain things.

After passing through multiple scrolls with unidentified scripts inked on it and wasting more papers than you did in high school, you were able to master the ancient Minecraft language with the help of Alex whose knowledge continued to amaze you.

Through the texts you've read, you found out about the powers Alex has demonstrated many times throughout the time you've spent with her and how she got it. Through a monument she said, you asked her about it and she gladly told you about her fantastic adventure of a lifetime, even showing you a massive claw mark on her back which she got from an error in the roleplay.

"You see... every monument is different and the one I entered had a requirement of acting, but a dangerous one. The lines were all impromptu, if I fail, the enemy or someone can damage me. This one," She said as she lifted up the back of her shirt to reveal three long bumpy scars that ran from her right shoulder blades to her left side, you let out a hiss, imagining the pain she must've went through

"I got it after enraging a beast. He's dead now and I got my powers" She continued, letting her shirt fall back before pointing at the lion skull placed on top of the fireplace.

"I'll find one and get my powers then"

"You don't have to," She said, confusing you. When you asked her what she meant, all she answered was:

"Keep reading"

And so you did, reading at night until the time you pass out cold yet helped Alex in the garden in the morning. You barely balanced them at first but with time, you were able to go through your schedules fluidly and soon enough, you found your answers.

It was called 'Creator's Advantage' , something you call a person with unnatural talents that aids them in their everyday life, it intrigued you deeply and so you dived deeper in Alex' archive to uncover more mystery surrounding it. And after a day of searching, you finally found out how those selected few got it.

There were a few records in the book of those people who have the advantage, namely, Setosorcerer, Sethbling and many more, names who you were able to recognize from the real world but from Alex herself, she called them historical figures and possibly the guardians for the many uncharted monument.

You're a streamer before you were warped into the game, something you do on the side after a day of hectic morning coffee rushes and insufferable customers in the coffee shop. Even so, you weren't sure if you would get the advantage because most of the people written in the history book, if you could recall, hold thousands and millions of followers compared to your four digits.

"You're still a streamer though, no matter the number of audiences or followers you have," Alex reassures you after you talked about the possibility of you having the advantage as well.

But you're not satisfied with waiting around for the advantage to come so you asked her for sword lessons, to which she accepted after a few considerations. It's been a long time since you started yet your skills still lacked massively if placed beside Alex's mastery, the absolute fluidity in her every step but there's spine-chilling precision in her every swing as if she has done it for centuries.

Alex moved with the sword like it was an extension of her limb, if this was an intense dance in the dimly lit ballroom, she'd have everyone floored and engaged, may it be in a fight or in awe, you're not sure. She's a complete enigma.
