(AN: Not sure how this chapter went but leave a comment on your thoughts. I am still editing earlier chapters so they fit together even more.)

"Young master Alex, are you awake?" asked the old manly voice that greeted me every day since I was born. A knocking sound once again originated from behind my bedroom door before I stirred out of bed. Ignoring the sleeping beauty that was beside me, I got up completely nude and opened the door.
"Young master, we have a long day ahead so let's get the young lady home." My family's butler, Alfred suggested.
"Do what you wish" I said as I stared at him with a deadpan face while he motioned a few maids to enter the room.
Watching them out of the corner of my eyes, the maids did their almost daily routine of waking a sleeping woman from my bed, clothing her, and escorting the drowsy girl out of the room.
Turning around to inspect the boring room which I slept in daily, I look back to Alfred who simply asks if I wanted the interior changed again. With a slight shake of the head, I simply ignore him and walk into the bathroom to enjoy a morning shower.
"Young master you have breakfast with your father in thirty minutes, please hustle." Alfred's voice reminded me once again as I was beginning to get lost in the heat of the water.
My name is Alex Rutherford. My father owns a fortune five hundred company and with me being the sole heir.
He made me learn many things from a young age. I am currently eighteen and know a multitude of languages, sports, arts, and advanced academics.
I hate this life now though. I repeat the same boring schedule every day. Occasionally one or two of the same events replaced for something I am already an expert in.
For example, I take formal dancing lessons instead of my archery lessons. I am a master in both yet I cannot pick to learn anything new.
Even when I bring it up to my father I get directed out of the room. I am thoroughly tired of this plain and boring way of life. I want something new and something fun. I want something that can bring me new excitement and I will get it one way or another.
…
It was around five in the afternoon when everything changed. I was in the middle of a break period between four-thirty and five-thirty. At the time I was instructing Alfred on setting up another party for graduating highschoolers to attend at my private yacht.
While letting him know what food to prepare I heard the sound of glass breaking. When I turned around to fire whatever maid dropped one of my expensive glasses, I was in an entirely different world.
Everything in front of me was blue and white, it was cold but also not too cold. I saw my breath turn white as it exited my body, a testament to the cold weather around me.
In the distance, a massive black box was sitting there untouched by the snow.
Though I felt I should call out to Alfred or my father, I was getting excited at the prospect of something possibly happening with the black box in the distance so I walked to it.
After reaching the box after what felt like twenty minutes. I felt its surface which was smooth and warm.
Instantly after I felt a series of runic symbols enter my head. I had to take a seat in the snow for a moment since the sudden influx of foreign symbols hurt my head.
When I was finally able to slowly translate the symbols into English and read them, I understood one thing. This box in front of me was Pandora's box and it would grant me a wish. This filled me with a lot of excitement.
Simply because even if it was an elaborate prank by my father, being able to not have a boring life was something I wanted for a long time.
As I stood up in the snow and placed my hands on the box once more, I made my wish.
"Give me the ability to make my life exciting!" I asked fervently.
Watching the center orb in the box glow a light blue light, I felt the snow around me disappear as the solid ice forming the crust of this foreign world began to cover me until I was encased in it.
For what felt like a split second, the Ice seeped into my body and I instantly felt like I could control the icy world.
"Yes! This is finally exciting me!" I yelled as I looked around and created a mountain of ice in the surroundings.
Happy with my newfound powers, I was ready to explore this icy world and venture into the unknown only to see random text appear in the center of my eyesight as a blizzard started around me.

…
Blinking my eyes once again, I found myself at the same moment where I had heard the glass break.
"Was that all an illusion? Did I get drunk or something?" I asked as Alfred looked at me with a questioning gaze. Seeing he was prepared to ask if I was feeling well, I quickly left and went back to my room.
"Cancel the rest of my plans for today…. But the party is still happening!" I said while shutting my door.
"Focus! Focus! Focus!" I chanted in my mind trying to feel the new cold yet foreign power within my body. I had noticed it during my walk back to the room and since it was there, it had something to do with the icy world I was in a moment ago.
I was focusing well and almost felt like I was grabbing at the threads holding this power dormant, but I was interrupted by a surprising voice in my head.
(You almost got it. You are a quick learner)
Shocked by the random voice in my head, I quickly asked out loud who was there but I was only given another internal response asking if I was stupid.
This annoyed me quite a bit but it was also interesting so rather than acting like a crazy person, I began conversing with the voice.
I was then informed of the system and its benefits and history before going back to feeling my powers. I had later, after a few weeks, decided to name the voice, or rather system AI, Walter.
Feeling a cold yet warm power around my body, I opened my eyes and looked in the mirror to see a blue aura covering my body.
Quickly calling Alfred into the room, he was shocked to see what I was up to. Not wanting him to freak out, I quickly explained it to him.
He then took out his phone, something I have rarely seen him do, and start issuing orders for family associates to gather information on Pandora's Box without altering my father.
"Young master with all this new power you have gained, you will be able to have as much fun and excitement as you'd like," Alfred said to me as I manifested an icy blue longbow in my hands. Similarly creating an arrow after, I knocked it and let it loose at the wall leading to my bathroom.
I must say, I was excited when I saw the wall crack apart and crumble to the ground. Alfred himself was in shock by the act of creating the longbow and destruction I had caused.
"This is the kind of excitement I want! Now… first thing's first! I need to deal with my father." I said as I smirked evilly at Alfred. He was a bit disappointed since he knows what I had meant but with his job being to support me, he did little to stop me.
In the end, I confronted and killed my father with my newfound powers. Seeing his terrified face as he begged for my life made me extremely giddy inside. With that done and the company transferred to me, I became one of the youngest multi-billionaires in the world.
….
Current night~
I have painted an alleyway with puddles of this strain's blood and I have to say, he has held out longer than most.
Looking in front of me, I smiled from behind my white artic fox mask and knocked my bow with another arrow. Ready to take this blood-drenched strain's life.
He had put up a fight with his earth manipulation, but against a King his B rank powers were nothing!
Releasing my arrow towards him, I was ready to see it enter his chest and pin him against the alleyway wall. Surprisingly, someone in all black appeared at the last moment and pushed him out of the way.
"Someone else who wants to entertain me a little tonight?" I asked in my mind. Watching the person who had saved the strain motion to his surroundings. I saw two other people wearing similar clothing and different masks run by me and up to the first person. They began helping the strain by attempting to jump onto the rooftop while holding him.
I wasn't planning to let my prey escape so I quickly fired an arrow at them to hurt one and cause them to focus on me but, surprising me again, my arrow was blocked by a golden forcefield.
"H-How did he do that?" I asked as adrenaline and excitement began coursing through my body. I had even begun releasing my power more than I had planned and my blue and white throne manifested in the air.
(Look above that man and you will understand) My AI, Walter, said to me as I quickly moved my attention into the sky. This led me to see a gold and black-colored throne hovering in opposition to my own.
"Another King!" I shouted with my distorted voice, thankfully from the mask I was wearing.
"This is finally getting exciting! Alfred!" I yelled as a man appeared by my side after jumping down from the rooftop and bowed in my direction.
"Go deal with those two in black, they are that king's clansman I believe. Go and examine how strong they are!" I said as I knocked my arrow and stared at the king in the distance.
He was similarly staring at me with how golden eyes visible under his slightly lowered hood. It did little to conceal his anger, it made me shiver with excitement!
