"Woah, what was that?" exclaimed Ivy, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"An angel, I guess," replied Alex, his tone reflecting equal parts uncertainty and fascination.
"Stop joking, you idiot. What's with this situation?" Ivy's frustration was palpable.
"I don't know. I guess we can't do anything about it. Let's check out what this 'system' thing is all about," suggested Alex, attempting to inject some levity into the tense atmosphere.
"Yeah, let's do that. What do you think what power will I get?" Ivy inquired, her curiosity piqued.
"Judging by your fiery temper, I'd say fire," chuckled Alex. "Let's check ourselves." With that, Alex clicked on the panel that had appeared earlier when the angel departed.

Alex studied his stats, Certainly his ability is good but he did not know how to feel about it, it felt incongruent with his character. He wrestled with the moral implications of needing to take a life to enhance his power, not sure to reconcile with his new ability .He just sighed turning around he looked at his childhood friend. She looked cute but alas her fiery temper. He asked "what did you get ".
Meanwhile, Ivy's face flushed with embarrassment as she confessed, " fire." He laughed certainly it is based on personality.
Amidst their contemplations, a sense of unease lingered. Unbeknownst to them, unseen forces had already taken an interest in their fates, watching with intrigue and anticipation as they embarked on their journey toward ascension.
