'I gained 30 points in just one night ? Perhaps becoming strong won't take as long as I originally thought' marvelled Alex seeing his status.

'But it's still not enough, to copy the lowest level ability I would need 50 points, so these 30 points are still not enough' thought Alex.

However, he wasn't discouraged or anything like that, he was even happy, with 30 soul points he can boost his attributes to much greater heights, the only problem was that he also needed to gain another ability beside his [soul linkage], as he would need it in the coming competition.

Even if he managed to get to level 4, if he didn't have an ability that could help him in a fight, it would be in vain, as others most definitely have offensive or defensive abilities.

'I also need to think of the ability I will copy, well, I'm not quite there, but I should probably start to think about it, which reminds, let's see our beautiful maid status'

Alex glanced at [Harem] and like he expected found the name of Anna.

'Show me the status of Anna' 

Just after he thought it, the writings on the floating screen changed, with the new writings being :

[Name: Annaline Maxwell 

Age: 35

Level: 3

Strength: 40

Agility: 50

Stamina: 30

Defense: 30

Mana Points: 40

Abilities: Phantom Veil; Darkness 

Bloodline: Ethereal assimilation 

Nicknames : child of darkness; Specter of Death]

'Huh? 35 years old? You're telling me this sweet girl is 35? What's wrong with this world?' Alex thought hypocritically, momentarily forgetting that he himself was sixty but appeared as if he were in his thirties.

However, it was a natural reaction for him. On Earth, people in their thirties don't usually look this young. But, in this world, where life expectancy increased with your level, it was pretty normal to find people who were a thousand years old but appeared as middle-aged men or women.

After a moment, Alex shifted his gaze from Anna's age and examined her stats.

'Hmm, her stats seem to be more balanced toward agility, which is normal since she is an assassin.'

'Now that I think about it, despite being at a higher level, Anna's stats are still lower than Lilia's, except for agility. That's means that Lilia is stronger than a level 3, even though she's not even considered a level 1,' Alex pondered, feeling cold sweat bead on his forehead.

'It's as I thought, Lilia is truly a monster - a beautiful one, but a monster nonetheless,' he thought before turning his attention to Anna's abilities.

'Phantom Veil and Darkness, huh? I was aware of her Phantom Veil ability, but I never heard that she had the power of Darkness.'

'Can I get a description of her abilities?' Alex inquired, addressing the system. In his mind, if he could see the abilities of those in his harem, he should also be able to access descriptions explaining what these abilities do.

As he thought, the moment he asked, the floating screen changed and he read :

[Phantom veil : Allows you to conceal yourself and anyone in direct contact with you from the eyes of the world.]

[Darkness: you can harness and manipulate the power of Darkness]

'The ability description is as I expected, I guess'

Alex then looked down and made another surprising discovery he hadn't known before, 'Bloodline? Anna has a bloodline?'

He immediately inquired, 'Could you provide me with a description of her bloodline?'

 [Ethereal Assimilation: allows the user to assimilate with their abilities.]

"Is this even real?" Alex wondered aloud, completely taken aback by the existence of such a broken ability.

'I'll definitely ask her about it once she wakes up'

Just then, Alex's attention shifted to something else – Anna's nicknames.

 'Even Anna has nicknames, and they actually sound quite badass. So why is it that I'm the only one without one?' he mused, a hint of envy in his eyes.

But quickly, a different thought crossed his mind, 'Actually, scratch that. It's probably better this way. I can already imagine my nicknames being something along the lines :'useless son,' 'weakling,' or 'useless lord'. So, it's better like this.'

As he contemplated how Anna had acquired such cool nicknames, she stirred from her slumber and found Alex seemingly staring into space.

"What are you doing?" she inquired.

"Oh, nothing. Good morning," Alex replied, leaning in to give her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

"Good morning," she replied with a smile.

"Did you have a good night's sleep?" he playfully teased. 

Upon hearing about the previous night, Anna blushed, remembering what they did the whole night.

'I just love how much cute she is when she is embarrassed' thought Alex with his lips curled up, satisfied with Anna's reaction.

However, he quickly remembered the subject that had initially caught his attention and asked her, "How come I never knew you had a Darkness ability?"

Confused, Anna looked at him and replied, "What are you talking about? I don't have a Darkness ability."
