Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Within the Quantum Archives

The sound of footsteps echo through the otherwise silent archives belonging to the Quantum Archon as the Quantum Archon himself reads a large book held in his hands. One that glows with a pale purple light, with the occasional glitchy particle leaving the book.

Already nearing ascension mere months after that structure's reset… and with one fraction of her core obtained as well.

A faint smile slowly emerges onto the Archon's face as his long and flowing black and purple hair flows behind him with every step. Meanwhile his Successor – a woman with long purple hair without a hint of black in it wearing a robe similar to the Archon's own – walks along behind him while reading a book of her own. Doing her homework to read up on everything in the universe's history, as she almost always does.

But when his Successor, Aragalia Tela Velal, notices the smile on her teacher's face, she stops walking and asks, "Something catch your interest, sir?"

The Archon answers by simply waving his hand and making a screen appear in front of her. One showing the Quantum Reaper as she lies in bed training her energy manipulation skill.

After the Successor looks at it for a few seconds, the screen changes to show her in her True Form as she fights against corrupted creatures. And in her True Form as she was flying through the Quantum Realm.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Is this the new quantum being?" Aragalia asks with a neutral look on her face. Only to show the slightest hint of interest when her teacher nods his head. "What is it about her that interests you?"

Her teacher doesn't say anything in response for several seconds, instead just continuing to read the Quantum Chronicle in his hand. The book containing every last detail about the entire universe in condensed format that only the Quantum Archon can read.

Seconds pass, and then the seconds turn into minutes. And by the time an entire half an hour passes, he finally answers, his voice echoing throughout the entire Quantum Archive serving as his personal domain, "She is the first being to have changed the hierarchy and overall structure of the universe in the entire time since my creation."

His words shock his Successor as her face morphs into one of surprise. Then her face goes back to her neutral expression once again and she asks, "Do you believe her to be the one to change the universe itself?"

Her teacher goes silent again and stays silent for nearly half an hour, taking his time to answer as he always does. The quantum being having long since disconnected himself from the concept of time due to the immense periods of time he spends reading the Quantum Chronicle.

When he finally answers though, he shocks her once more, "I do."

Silence once again befalls the Archives as the Archon and his Successor continue walking between the endless bookcases. But after three hours pass, Aragalia eventually states out loud, "I would like to meet her."

This time her teacher responds within a single minute, "Do as you please. Meeting another young quantum being akin to yourself will benefit your growth."

A light smile stretches across Aragalia's face at his answer. After which she nods her head and says, "Then I will do just that," and closes her book as gently as possible.

With her confirmation, the Quantum Archon snaps his fingers, making a set of screens appear in front of his young apprentice of a mere two thousand years of age. With each of the screens describing the System, the new Dimensional Blocks, the Quantum Reaper herself, and the corrupted creatures invading the Dimensional Grid.

Aragalia slowly reads through each of the screens. Absorbing the information on all of them at a rapid pace before closing her eyes and digesting the intel as she continues following the Quantum Archon.

The sound of their footsteps echoing throughout the Quantum Archive continues all the way until she finally opens her eyes again and declares, "I'm ready."

Without pause this time, the Quantum Archon waves his hand once more and a glitchy purple gate appears near them. One that leads straight to the first Dimensional Block of the Dimensional Grid created by the Quantum Architect and his structure known as the System.

Right when Aragalia is about to step through the gate, the Quantum Archon speaks one last time, "You know what responsibilities you hold."

Aragalia pauses for a second before nodding and responding, "I will not interfere in any way with the universe's flow. I will stick to my role as a guide and do nothing more beyond basic self-defense."

After seeing her teacher nod his head, Aragalia steps through the gate. Immediately arriving on an island in the first Dimensional Block and being greeted by corrupted creatures. But just like with the Quantum Archon, she uses her passive skill to be ignored by them as she floats up into the air atop numerous glitched pages and books.

Meanwhile the Quantum Archon makes a screen appear next to him showing her as she moves just to keep an eye on his Successor.

He continues watching her while she flies through the air towards the place where the Quantum Reaper is currently training her energy manipulation until half of his attention returns to the Quantum Chronicle. But then he stiffens up ever so slightly as he reads something in particular within the Chronicle.

Interesting…

The Archon turns his full attention to another screen that he makes appear to find the Quantum Architect staring back at him from right next to the Quantum Reaper. Through the screen.

Several seconds pass in silence without either of the quantum beings saying a word. Then the Archon nods his head once, to which the Architect nods back. And the screen vanishes without either quantum being saying a word.

The Archon looks at the screen where his Successor is for a few seconds before turning back to the Chronicle again.

These System screens are useful.
