Chapter 2 - Creation

They're mother then went inside the store and what she saw was foods spilled all around the place but she already expects this

She then carefully picked foods that will last them for quite some time that's can also fit in the car even with large amount and after a few minutes she's done packing it all up

While in the car the two siblings talks to each other as they are bored waiting and when they saw their mother came back with a lot of foods they were baffled by the amount she took

"Why that much it's not like there's no evacuation site right?" Alice said

"I don't know so let's just ask why" Caleb replied

"Mom why did you take that much?" Alice asks the moment their mother went inside the car

"Just being prepared in case there's a food shortage in a evacuation site after all we don't know how long this will last" she said

They immediately understood it and didn't ask anymore

As they travel more and more there's still no news about a evacuation center so their mother decides to go to a hotel that's close nearby as the sun was setting

Soon they arrive at the hotel that was lit with colorful lights all around and dazzling designs that can be seen outside

"Woah it's so beautiful" Alice said

"Are we gonna stay here for the night?" Caleb asks

"Yes we will and this is a 5-star hotel called Cascade hotel" the mother said

They then hop out the car and went inside the hotel and what they saw inside surprises them more

The fancy chandeliers, ancient bonsais, exquisite rooms made them speechless knowing that they will sleep here and moreover there's also no one else in here allowing them to occupy this all by themselves

"This is so exciting!" Alice said cheerfully

"Yup but keep in mind we are just gonna stay here for the time being, once a public evacuation site was announced we will leave here" their mother said

So their mother decides to cook foods for them as they're hungry

In just 15 minutes their mother was able to cook a wonderful and exquisite dishes that made Alice and Caleb crave for it

after that they went to the room of their choice and inside Caleb's room he's laying in the bed thinking how long is it for the gift to reveal itself

He waited and waited for an entire hour but all he got was nothing so he decides to just sleep as it's already very late

At the very midnight hour Caleb's body starts to glow and releases a pushing force that knocked some of the things in the room and the noise it made wakes him

"What's that noise?" He said with a sleepy attitude

But when he saw that he's glowing and his surrounding become a mess he got shocked and immediately stood up trying to understand what's going on

"The gift has unvail itself"

"You have acquire the skill, Level 1: Creation"

"Creation? What's that supposed to do?" He thought

Caleb is intrigue to what it can do so he tries to use the skill so he tried saying the name of the skill and to his shock his hands starts to glow but after a few moments it disappear and there's nothing in his hands

This made him thought what he might need to do to make it really work and after thinking for quite some time he thought of what might be away to really use it

"Do i need to imagine something to create something? it says the name of the skill is creation and to have a creation i need to have an imagination" he thought carefully

So he tries to imagine a sword and use the skill at same time and this time when it glows he feels his hands touch something heavy and when the glow dissipates there's a iron sword

"Wow it's heavy, i guess it really needs imagination at same time" he said

"I wonder what's it's limit, maybe a skill can be created too"

He then imagines him using a ball of fire and uses his skill and to his surprise the unknown voice spoke again

"You have acquire the skill level 1: inferior fire ball"

"So it really works with skills too huh"

"But why inferior? I imagined quite a big fire ball" he thought

"Guess ill just try it to see for my self"

He then says the name of the skill and a ball of fire began to manifest in his hand but it was just a the size of his palm while the one in his imagination is the size of an average person's head

"As i thought it has quite a limit, but still being able to create skill is just too much" he said

But he stops thinking about it too much and went to back to his bed to sleep as he has only gotten a few hours of sleep.

The next day when Caleb wakes up he decides to experiment his skill for a bit of time before leaving his room

He then goes to explore the hotel more as he only knew a bit to the hotel, thinking there might be something like a hidden room just like in movies

Thus he starts to look in every directions, corners, and floors in the process he finds chocolate snacks and some other more that are useless

After quite some time Caleb give up and just decides to go back at the ground floor.

Arriving at the ground floor while he's going to his room he suddenly have a idea to see if there's really a secret room

'I might be able to create a skill that allows me to see through walls" he said

He then starts to imagine him seeing through walls and uses his skill Creation and after a few moments.

"You have acquire the skill, Level 1: Scan"

"Scan" Caleb uses it immediatly

His eyes starts to faintly glow blue and his vission turns black and white with lines that lets him see where the wall is, this also allows him to see what's behind the walls

"Now i can really make sure if there's a secret room or not" he said

He then starts looking everywhere and to his shock there's actually a basement but because his Scan skill's level is 1 he can't see more in the basement

"I guess i should just go there" he thought going towards the entrance of the basement
