Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Alexia

Right. So, I honestly forgot something.

I knew this battle would be an easy one. Just from how strong I've gotten over the time since the Reset. But something that didn't cross my mind is actually a very major detail.

Ethan is Tier 4.

I'm Tier 5.

And there is no way a Tier 4 could ever hold up to a Tier 5, much less one who is normally weaker than the other at the same Tier already.

So I find it to be a rather simple matter as I float here taking his breath attack to the face without so much as moving or feeling any pain. Simply because of the Tier difference between us along with my Quantum Adaptation skill having already adapted a decent chunk to his hellfrost.

After that happens, we both just kind of stand awkwardly in the arena with Ethan looking rather disappointed, and me wondering just what I should say.

Eventually I just tell him with a shrug, "You'll reach Tier 5 soon enough. I'll give you a rematch then."

He nods his head.

Then I blast a hole through his chest with a simple bolt of quantum energy I make through energy manipulation, leaving silence to spread throughout the entire stadium. A tense and deadly silence that completely stinks of fear from those watching.

And just like that, the dimension begins to fall apart. After which everyone is sent back to where they were before entering the stadium last.

I purse my lips as I walk to the balcony of my house within the clearing, wondering why I bothered feeling any sort of anticipation towards that fight. Considering how much of a disappointment it was.

It's like everyone forgot I was Tier 5 and no one else here is.

My eyes narrow a little.

Then again, I kind of forgot that too.

Well, whatever. At this point I'm getting used to having no one at the same strength as myself.

Besides. There should be some other people reaching Tier 5 at some point soon. So if I want to fight other people, I just need to find them.

Plus that overwhelming show of strength should've knocked out any thoughts of betraying me from the minds of the people of Dimensional Block #108. Assuming they're not stupid.

And I don't think too many people of the block are stupid.

Probably.

Lots of people in the world are stupider than a lot of people might think though, so I'm not sure.

Everyone has their stupid moments.

Like my forgetting about the Tier 4 and Tier 5 thing. That was a stupid moment.

Anyways, I let out a sigh before teleporting into the air above my house. Then I go ahead and take my house back into the ring and begin teleporting out of the Dimensional Block. Heading towards the edges of the Dimensional Blocks, where I will be able to fight some of those corrupted creatures.

Of course, I make sure to tell both Alara and Astrid where I'm heading beforehand. And in the process of that, I surprisingly find Astrid hounding Luna right now about that whole 'father' topic again. Something about her not wanting Luna to call anyone else father either, not just her. Because Luna apparently called Gramps 'Father'.

Luna is ignoring her though, so I do the same as I teleport out of the Block.

After laughing to myself at the face Gramps makes when he's called Father, that is.

On a different note, I actually didn't know he was in the Block right now.

But he seems busy right now, and I really want to go fight some corrupted creatures. So I don't hesitate as I teleport through the Dimensional Blocks. Clearing them all with ease thanks to being Tier 5.

And, of course, I go ahead and slaughter monsters along the way. Not that it helps me all that much considering how weak as hell they are.

Most of the commonly found monsters are Tier 1 or 2, with some Tier 3s. There aren't even any Tier 4s, much less Tier 5s.

So they don't exactly give me much of anything in return.

There's no reason not to kill them though, and they do give me something. Even if it's just scraps.

Plus it helps the nearby people when I kill monsters attacking them. And it's good to be kind to random people.

A certain quantum being snorts at that in my mind before muttering, "That's rich coming from you…"

But I ignore him.

Because I'm the mature one between us.

He scoffs at that too.

And I continue ignoring him as I teleport through the Blocks. Crossing one after another while only occasionally being attacked once in a blue moon by those stupid people I mentioned earlier.

Generally hot-blooded Class S species who want to try taking the 'terrible and supremist quantum being' – their words, not mine – down a notch. And ending up deleted by quantum magic in the process.

Those hot-heads end up decreasing significantly in number when I get close to Dimensional Block #1 though. Which is good. And probably has something to do with Lucas.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Actually, on that note, I'll probably visit Lucas while I'm here. He's been nagging through messages about wanting to see me and Astrid again for a while, yet not being able to stop what he's doing to come by. Read exclusive adventures at empire

Probably also not wanting to bother us either. Since he's still trying to get on our good side and all.

On that note, I hope Mom is okay. I haven't heard anything about her for a while.

"She's fine," Zal states, making me pause for a moment before a smile stretches across my face.

Thank you.

He doesn't respond.

I roll my eyes, my smile growing a little wider in the process until it fades again at the sight of people at the entrance to Dimensional Block #1.

Well, time to enter one of the border Blocks and see what's up with these corrupted creatures.
