Silas saw the system notifications and wanted to scream out in surprise but he forced himself to keep quiet because of Serah who was sleeping close to him.
What's going on?.... Superpower?.... Where did that come from?.... Is this a bug in the system or what? Matter manipulation?.... Is this a joke or what?....
Silas' head was suddenly filled with questions. Silas felt like his world-view had started to be subverted since he got the system has been taken to a whole new level.
System, something of fantasy became his. After that was gene enhancement, and now, superpowers.
How would you feel to sleep and wake up and find out that your world was not really as it seems.
Would anyone believe that the superpowers that they always imagined and fantasized about actually exist and it's not just a mere work of fiction and imagination, and the craziest thing is that you're now among those superpower wielders.
It took a bit of time to process all these and he was calm again but he felt that something was strange, especially his reaction.
'Why am I so calm?. I just be freaking out at this information but I'm strangely calm. I would have understood my calmness if it was something related to my system but this is something that affects me directly."
'Ohh...I see..... It's [Mental Balance] working at max level.'
Silas decided to put everything related to the system aside for later, as he climbed out of the bathtub and tapped Serah lightly on the shoulder to wake her up.
"Serah, wake up," Silas softly called out to her in a low voice while lightly tapping her shoulder. Serah seems to be a light sleeper as she woke up immediately.
"Mhmm," Serah groaned as she turned her head and looked at Silas. When she saw him, she immediately sprang up from her position and stood with her head lowered.
"Please forgive me for barging into your bedroom and bathroomn when you were inside without permission. I heard your scream from downstairs, that was why I ran up upstairs to check," Serah said with her head still lowered.
"You don't need to apologize Serah. You did nothing wrong. You actually helped me instead and I appreciate your help. So don't apologize," Silas said to her.
"Thank you, I will take my leave now," Serah said, and Silas nodded.
After Serah left, Silas went to his room to get dressed as he was still in his boxer.
Silas didn't know for how long he had been unconscious but from his dried underwear which was supposed to be wet, he knew that a long time had passed.
After getting dressed, Silas went downstairs to eat dinner. He was feeling very hungry. Maybe it's because of his genes that were now enhanced, Silas felt that he was feeling more hungry than usual.
When Silas got downstairs, he saw his dinner on the dining table. He looked around but he didn't see Serah and Emma anywhere.
"They must have left," Silas said as he took his seat and started eating.
It took some time before he was finally done eating. He stood and cleared the dishes before going back upstairs.
When he got to his room, he called up his status screen.

As his status screen popped up, Silas started checking everything and noting any new thing he saw.
The first one being the race that was suddenly added to the his status information. Not particularly new to him but it's one of the new things that was added to his status information and Silas couldn't help but ask himself if the system was not aware of him being a human before.
Second thing was that the system level is now has 'Max' written in front of it. Silas was perplexed when he saw this.
'The system only has five levels? Forget it, let's move on to other things.'
While going through his status screen, Silas remembered one of the notifications he saw before.
'Nice, I also got the lottery function. I wonder what I can draw from it?
Silas' eyes continue to move downward until he got to the section that shows superpowers. Seeing this, Silas felt a flood of complex emotions.
He was shocked and at the same time, happy. Never in his wildest dream would he have believed that something like this would happen to him.
Superpowers?!.... Matter Manipulation?!
"What does this mean?," Silas asked himself in a low voice.
"I can control matter? Like matter itself?"
Curiously, Silas looked at his hands. He brought it forward and made a gesture but nothing happened.
"How do I use this thing?"
"Ahh.... Yes. Stupid me," Silas chastised himself and walked into the bathroom.
When he got to bathroom, he walked up to the bidet and switched on the faucet and water started coming out of it.
When he saw the running water, he took a deep breath and brought his hands forward.
"Matter manipulation. Matter exists in three main forms: solid, liquid and gas"
"Water is a liquid form of matter which means in should be able to control it."
Taking another deep breath, Silas concentrated on the running water and made a waving gesture with his hands.
Nothing happened again.
"That didn't work. I might be able to do it if the water is not running."
With that, Silas left the bathroom and went to the kitchen.
When he got to the kitchen, he went to the sink and fixed the plug in before he opened the faucet. He did this so that the water won't go down through the sink's drainage opening.
When the sink has been filled with water to a certain level, Silas closed the faucet and dipped his finger into the water.
After dipping his finger into the bathroom, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the water.
After some time, Silas felt something slowly sticking to the finger.
When he felt this, he opened his eyes and slowly took his finger out of the water. When his fingers was out of the water, he finally saw it.
He could see small blobs of water sticking and squirming around his finger.
'Amazing... Truly amazing... I can really control matter!'
