Chapter Three: Awakening of the TwinAs Lucas y in bed, recovering from the intense fever that had nearly taken his life, Lisa sat beside him, holding his hand anxiously. The previous night had been a nightmare, but now, at st, he was beginning to wake up.
But Lisa didn't feel normal either. There was something new inside her, something unfamiliar pulsating with a strange energy. Her heart pounded in her chest, and instead of the warmth of a fever, a cold yet comforting sensation spread through her veins.
She stood before the small mirror in the room and gasped in shock at her reflection. Her once bck hair had turned into pristine white strands, and her brown eyes had transformed into a brilliant sky-blue hue.
"What…?" she whispered, touching her face in disbelief.
But that wasn't the only change. Her skin had become smoother, more fwless, as if made of pure ice. Her features had sharpened, making her beauty even more striking. Even her body had started to refine itself, growing more slender and elegant, as if this newfound energy was reshaping her.
And this was only the beginning. As she progressed in her cultivation, these transformations would become even more pronounced. She would grow taller, more graceful, and her figure would develop into a perfect bance of elegance and strength.
When she hesitantly raised her hand, tiny ice crystals formed in the air around her fingers, shimmering like diamonds. She let out a soft gasp, but there was no fear—only a sense of power.
The next morning, the family gathered around the dining table. Elena was silent, her sharp eyes observing Lisa carefully.
"So… you've awakened too," Elena finally said, staring at Lisa's snowy hair and radiant blue eyes.
Lisa nodded and lifted her hand, forming a small sphere of ice in her palm. "It seems my talent… is reted to ice."
Lucas, still feeling a bit weak, forced a smile. "Looks like our sixteenth birthday was more special than we expected."
Elena eyed her sister cautiously before speaking. "I want to see your Identification Card."
Lisa nodded and summoned her status card.
[Identification Card]
Name: Lisa Nightbane
Age: 16 years
Talents: Ice Sovereign
Talent Rank: A
Mana Cultivation Realm: Unranked
Elena read the information silently before meeting Lisa's gaze. "A talent of rank A… That’s extremely rare."
Lisa smiled shyly. "Does that mean I'm strong?"
Elena didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she said, "That depends on how well you master your abilities. Rank A means you have great potential, but you’ll need to develop it."
Lucas felt a strange sense of contrast. While Lisa's talent was clear and ranked as A, his own ability remained a mystery—unranked and carrying an ominous name… Parasitic Dominion.
Yet, instead of feeling jealous, he was happy for his sister. At least she wouldn't have to face the unknown alone.
In the following days, Lisa began experimenting with her abilities. She could generate ice effortlessly and lower the temperature of an entire room by focusing her energy.
Lucas observed her in silence, trying to make sense of his own talent. He had no idea how to use it, nor did he fully understand how his system worked. But one thing was certain…
Their world had changed forever, and there was no going back to the normal life they once knew.
