Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

B4 | Chapter 20



Alexia

"And that's what happened," I finish explaining to the Architect as the Corrupted Damien's shrieks continue to echo through the dueling platform with each and every strike of my lightning.

The Architect wouldn't stop pestering me about what I was talking about before, so I ended up having to explain it all to him. Making him feel more than a little awkward judging by the feelings I feel coming through whatever annoying bond he has set up with me that I wish would go away.

Why he's awkward, I'm not entirely sure.

Possibly the fact that I basically told him that I spent ten lives fighting someone like him and getting used to his powers before eventually killing the one like him and getting a resistance to his quantum energy. All of which sounds perfectly normal to me.

He's so awkward that he stopped speaking entirely.

Not that I mind.

But since I'm done talking to him, I go ahead and close my eyes as I focus on charging up my finisher move. One that I feel perfectly safe using against a rather weakened wimp like Damien.

And when I finish charging it up, I slowly crack my eyes open to look before locking onto the Corrupted vampire lord over the course of several more seconds. As said Corrupted vampire lord is still bathing in quantum lightning.

Then I sweep my scythe through the air, sending a powerful arc of purple and black energy straight at said Corrupted vampire lord. Albeit a weaker arc than I used back in the quantum realm. Because I don't have as much energy to use here.

A pity, but…

I watch as the arc cuts straight through the Corrupted vampire lord without missing a beat before continuing through him… and cutting through the void around the platform as well.

Yeah, it's still plenty powerful. More than powerful enough to deal with Damien.

Not a single emotion crosses my face as I watch the Corrupted Damien slowly fall apart as his body glitches into oblivion. Other than some very slight curiosity in how Elara and Astrid will react to getting more territory.

Judging by the notifications that appear afterwards.

The Dimensional Council of Dimensional Block #108 has officially achieved victory against Dimensional Block #600 in their war!

Henceforth, the Dimensional Wall closest to Dimensional Blocks #108 and #600 shall receive a portal connecting the two Blocks. Furthermore, all citizens of Dimensional Block #600 designated as not allowed in the Block will be forcefully ejected into a random neighboring Block.

Due to the war coming to a close through the slaying of the Dimensional Champion of Dimensional Block #600 by the Dimensional Champion of Dimensional Block #108, only one Champion remains.

Therefore the remaining Champion will take on the role of Dimensional Champion for the new Dimensional Block #108.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

Lastly, the Dimensional Leader of Dimensional Block #108 will retain their position as the Leader of the newly merged Block.

The war results have now concluded.

Cool.

Now for the next notification.

Congratulations! Your target has been eliminated.

Rewards will now be distributed to the Quantum Reaper.

Analyzing most beneficial rewards at the current moment…

Analysis complete.

For eliminating one Corruptor, the universe is forcefully altering the System to raise the user's Authority Level from 5 to 6.

Oh. Nice.

And a Legendary Feat flows across the dimensions at that as I find myself teleported back to a random island in Dimensional Block #108.

Legendary Feat – The Second Authority

As the first to reach Authority Level 6, you may force a Dimensional Block's war to end without any result once per war between the same pair of Dimensional Blocks.

Interesting.

Sort of.

In all honesty, I can't really see myself using this one.

What I can see myself using though, are the benefits I see flashing in my vision afterwards.

A vote on the Council that counts for fifty votes.

The right to pass through Dimensional Walls with up to two hundred and fifty people.

The right to make a blacklist for my home Dimensional Block permanently banning up to ten people at one time from entering the block while they are on the blacklist. Albeit with the blacklist only affecting those with lower Authority Levels than me. Which means everyone right now.

And the power to force a Dimensional Council Meeting whenever I please.

Which I also don't really care about.

That said, having a higher Authority Level is always nice. Makes me wonder whether I'll get a reward similar to this for every Corruptor I slay.

And on the note of slaying a Corruptor…

[One Corruptor reaped. No EXP is given due to the user's level being capped. All necessary Corruptors reaped. The requirement has been cleared.]

[One Tier 4 level-capped Target Defeated. No EXP is given due to the user's level being capped. One Tier 4 level-capped Target of three defeated. The requirement will be cleared when two more Tier 4 level-capped targets are slain.]

There we go. Cleared that requirement from my ascension requirements.

Now I just need to kill two more targets and reach Tier 4 in Quantum Energy Manipulation. Since I already retrieved my requirement clear for getting my core. Which was surprising since I only got part of it.

But best not to look a gift core in the non-existent mouth.

On another note, the Architect whose real name I still don't know is still silent. Makes me wonder what happened to him.

As if summoning the man, a rift appears in reality in front of me before he walks through it and just stares at me.

I stare back.

"You want to know my name?" he asks, sounding serious. A lot more serious than I've ever heard him before.

Well, honestly don't really care, but it would be nice to have something else to call you other than Architect.

And I'm not calling you Dad or Father, just to make that clear.

He stares for a little while longer before eventually stating, "Zaltros Vel Dar Exerian Vlake Rule."

I stare back at him.

Then I find myself returning to my usual form, leaving my True Form for the first time in a while.

After a few seconds, I simply nod my head and state, "Too long. I'm calling you Zal."

An awkward silence ensues after that.
