Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Alexia

To my surprise, I feel a faint quantum energy fluctuation coming from very far away. Somewhere so far I can't see it as it's past several planets.

Actually, I'm rather surprised I'm able to sense it at all. Considering how far away it is.

But after debating on it for a few seconds, I decide not to go check it out. Because it's just too far away. And it's not like it's my problem, whatever it is.

So I ignore it and continue hunting monsters within the oceanic planet. Meanwhile Luna hunts on the other side of the planet. The girl finally deciding to head out on her own again, albeit only after I gave her a warning to avoid the sharkie at all costs.

I go from one hidden area to another, gathering some nice loot while also occasionally killing hidden bosses and leveling up numerous times. And every time I find another Dimensional Champion, the champion in question flees without a word. Almost like I'm some sort of monster.

Which is rude. But not at the same time.

I already had this mental debate with myself about my image earlier though, so I'm just gonna move on to more important things.

Like playing this mobile game on my terminal that Astrid got me into before this tournament.

It's one of those clicker games that you can also run on an automatic mode so that the game will play itself for you. So I just have it running automatically as I slaughter monsters and level up.

Although I do feel a little surprised by the fact that I have reception in here.

Pleasantly surprised, that is.

And so, just like that, entire weeks pass. All the way until I finally grind my way up to level 1450. Gaining numerous new skills along the way, many of which I just ignore. Since they're rather useless.

But a few of them I keep in mind for later use. Like a different version of Quantum Bolt called Quantum Lightning Bolt. A skill that's pretty much an inferior version of the lightning bolts I throw around in my True Form.

The only reason I'm not using this skill now is because of the level problem.

Quantum Lightning Bolt is level 1.

Quantum Bolt is Tier 3.

Which is a rather large difference. One of almost 30 total levels considering that Quantum Bolt is nearing Tier 4 at this point.

As for whether Ignivara survived or not? That's an obvious answer.

One given to me point blank by the Leaderboards.

The last time I checked the leaderboards, Ignivara was #5 on it. And now he's not even there.

Which makes it pretty clear that he died somehow.

Whether it's because the shark somehow caught him even after his escape, or someone else took advantage of his weakness to kill him off, I'm not sure. But I also don't really care.

Although I guess it is nice not having the loose cannon around anymore. Since now knowing when he would attack was annoying.

Other than Ignivara though, I'm a little surprised to see the Holy One doing so poorly.

Makes me wonder if something happened to him. Or maybe another Dimensional Champion attacked him.

I find a faint smile stretching across my face as I think about the possibility of the Holy One's little precious image having already shattered by now. Because that would be hilarious.

Especially given the things he was saying back at that annoying party before the dungeon.

I hum some random piece of classical music as I fly through the air searching for my next target, only to feel a powerful energy source heading my way. One that I easily recognize as the sharkie's energy source.

Shit.

Without hesitation, I begin to fly fast in the opposite direction of the sharkie. But no matter how fast I fly, the sharkie just continues to chase after me.

So I finally let out a sigh and begin to leave the oceanic world for a different one.

Just for me to slam face first into some large barrier of water that blocks my path entirely when I try to leave. No doubt created by the sharkie in question.

I don't bother with it though as I teleport past the barrier and continue flying.

And just like before, another barrier appears. Then another. And another.

All the way until I finally get out of the atmosphere of the oceanic planet and make my way over to the next closest planet.

This time when I let out a sigh, it's one of relief. Because a part of me instinctively feels like the sharkie is still too dangerous for me to deal with right now.

I close my eyes and focus on Luna, only for my eyes to widen as I realize she's still on the oceanic planet.

And the shark boss is now heading towards her.

Before I can panic or anything, I remember that I can summon Luna to me. So after waiting a few seconds for the sharkie to get a bit further away, I summon her straight to me. Then I pick her up and land on the planet I ended up at. Which is some sort of tropical planet with more water than land, but still plenty of land.

Good. We got-

A loud roaring sound echoes out from the oceanic world before I see a massive shark jumping out of the water straight at this world, making my jaw drop open.

-away…

Okay, how fast can this damned fish move?!

I grit my teeth before teleporting away with Luna moving to perch on my shoulder in her bat form. Following which the God of the Seas boss lands in the ocean of this world.

But before it can attack me, something else comes and surprises us both.

Something that has me grinning.

Guess the boss of this world doesn't like another world's boss encroaching on its territory.
