[Morgan Le Fay POV]
Alex Walker was an anomaly, quite the delicacy if I say so myself, especially in this world full of disappointments, a dream come true.
Powerful, handsome, and mysterious. What else could a girl ask for?
Though I suppose he does have some… baggage in the form of two annoying little rats he happens to call his daughters, but I could deal with that, after all, I wanted him all for myself.
A powerful slave to do my bidding.
Sadly, I wasn't strong enough to subdue his will to mine, at least not on my own.
But he was worth the effort, and sometimes, a girl has to put some effort, am I right?
The Darkhold, the book that had the answers to all of my prayers, including the how-to subdue my man.
A book with the spell necessary to thraw the will of any man, but even with this, powerful tool in my hands, getting him would be difficult, his mental and mystical fortitude was so irrationally high, I needed more than the book.
I needed a source of magical power many times bigger than my own.
The Staff of One.
With it, alongside the Darkhold, controlling Alex would be a piece of cake, he would be mine forever.
There is only one thing that could possibly go wrong.
The Ancient One.
With her on the way, acquiring the Staff to power my spells was a fairly difficult manner, but I played for the long run, I could wait.
I had waited long enough already.
But first, let's have a talk with her, hehe.

[Alex Walker POV]
The Power Ranking.
It was, to say the least, super useful.
With it, I knew everyone's level, regardless of the fact if I knew them or not.
Well, when I say everyone's level, it's… not entirely accurate. Some levels didn't appear, instead giving me the ???, but considering who were behind those levels, well, I understood.
[Power Ranking - Current Universe
1 - The One-Above-All LV ????
2 - The Fulcrum LV ????
3 - The Living Tribunal LV ????
4 - The Heart Of The Universe LV ????
5 - The Phoenix LV ????
5 - Oblivion LV ????
6 - Infinities LV ????
7 - Eternity LV ????
8 - Death LV ????
9 - Infinity LV ????
10 - The Protege LV ????]
Those were just the top ten, some of them, I recognized. Others, not so much, like for example, Infinities, or The Protege, in all my life, I had never heard such names before, but nonetheless, they were there.
Thanos for example was in the top 400, ranking in the 318th place.
His level?
LV 371.
As for me, I was also in the top 400.
My rank?
397th.
Which was higher than I expected it to be.
Way higher.
Especially considering those above me in the ranks, and I am not talking about the top ten, they are far beyond me as of now, no, I was talking about the ones right above me, who were simply above me by a level, or two.
Of course, the rankings didn't account for things like the infinity stones and such, otherwise, my ranking would be higher, I guessed.
In the ranks, I saw beings like, Zeus, Aphrodite, Hera, Sun Wukong, and others, in fact, every mythological pantheon I would've thought was not real, was in the ranking, some of their gods, above Thanos, others below.
Even Yahweh was in the rankings, which brought up a lot of questions on itself.
But by what I could tell, the realm of the gods, or so-called gods, started around level two hundred.
But enough about that.
The Ranking while troubling, was not the matter at hand.
No, the matter at hand was what I encountered in the top 100.
Tiamut The Communicator, according to the rankings, and the library, inside the earth, there was a celestial incubating, one with already enough power to rank in the top 100 of the universe.
His level, higher than Odin's.
High enough to make Odin seem relatively weak in comparison.
"Well, just when I was starting to feel powerful," I snorted, I still had a long way to go.

[The Ancient One POV]
I had managed to track the enchantress that was targeting Alex to an abandoned warehouse, a cliche move on her part, one that was obviously a trap.
Nonetheless, I had to confront whoever was hunting Alex, and if possible, deal with them.
Inside the warehouse, I walked and checked every corner and found nothing but a wall painted with blood, with a single word written in it, -I see you-
"Yao, what a surprise…" A voice seemingly coming from every direction spoke, each word uttered with extreme care.
"My my, I don't recall meeting you," I replied, the voice seemed to know me, but I didn't know her the visions were unfortunately clear, meaning this witch had access to the dark dimension, adding more trouble to already hazardous mix.
"Oh, well, you haven't not yet," I could feel her presence, she was behind me, yet she wasn't attacking, what games was she playing, I couldn't help but wonder.
With a sigh, I turned around to find the enchantress smiling at me, a cup of wine in her hand.
"You must be the one hunting Mr. Walker," I smiled at her, a smile of no emotion, but pure hostility, I now knew who she was, in hindsight, I should've have known, she was no other than Morgana, the Witch of Camelot, and the lost soul of the Dark Dimension.
"I am," She nodded, winking at me, "Excuse me, but where are my manners, my name is Morgan Le Fay, a pleasure to meet you,"
"Of that, I have no doubt, can't say I feel the same though," I replied staring at her.
"How rude," Morgana pouted, "Oh well, no matter,"
"What are you looking for with Mr. Walker?" I asked, any information she provided would work to undo her plans, even if the information was something she thought to be useless.
"A man to call my own," Morgana smirked, taking a sip of her wine. "A man willing to do as I say, of course, he doesn't have to do it willingly," she added with a sultry smile.
"You wish to enslave him?" I chuckled in a bitter tone, "Mr. Walker has… some bad experiences in the area, I doubt he will take this… offense in good nature,"
"No wonder you are single," Morgana pouted in reply, "A man can cry and say no, they can even throw a tantrum, but in the end, it's not him who has the last vote, it's me, after all, I know best."
"Merlin really wasted his time with you," I sighed.
"Perhaps," Morgana nodded, "But… you know I am right,"
"No, you are not, that is the sad part, you see… for the one who has the last vote as you call it here, it's me," I smiled at her, "I am, after all, the sorceress supreme,"
"A title with no weight," Morgana shot back.
"It weighs more than your corpse," I replied.
