B4 | Chapter 33
All Across the Dimensional Blocks
Two days later
All at once, every last person within the Dimensional Blocks comes to a sudden halt. When a single System Notification in the form of a Legendary Feat announcement echoes across the dimensions. One stating a significant achievement even amongst Legendary Feats.
Legendary Feat – Peak Pioneer Alexia Knight, otherwise known as the Quantum Reaper, has become the first user within the System to reach Tier 5! |
And of the people looking at the notification, they all have different reactions.
The dragon clans all immediately begin cheering, having already decided to ally themselves with the Quantum Reaper after her many meetings with the Ancestral Dragon. With the Ancestral Dragon herself merely smiling in defeat and a hint of regret. And the Ancient Wyrm lets out a brief cheer before returning to his card game with the latest random passerby to get near his cavern.
The vampires feel a chill run down their spine at the idea that the slayer of their leader has grown to an even greater height.
All of Alexia's friends and allies currently competing in the Dimensional Championships of Dimensional Block #108 express their joy while the other factions of the Dimensional Block show horror. Horror at the sight of any possible hope they ever had of overtaking her in power within their Block fading away.
Lastly, the Ancient Terror slows down in his latest rampage before the hydra's many eyes all narrow and he turns in the direction of Dimensional Block #108. Finally deciding to pay the Quantum Reaper a visit.
And the Terror isn't the only one as numerous other famous and infamous figures across the System, both from before and after the Reset, all begin to change their plans in the same manner.
But everyone pauses before they can do anything.
Because another System Notification plays out after the Legendary Feat notice.
And this notification comes with a screen showcasing livestream of the Quantum Reaper herself as she floats high in the air within a strange chamber. One that is filled with glitching walls on the exterior of the cubic chamber.
System Announcement A user of the System has reached Tier 5 at last, therefore the Corruption Protocol will now begin. Henceforth, the Dimensional Blocks will be changing location. They will be teleported directly outside of the Corruption's territory. The Corruption Protocol will now draw in corrupted creatures from outside of the Dimensional Blocks into the edges of the Blocks located on the exterior of the System's dimension touching the border of the Corruption's territory. Any corrupted creature slain will grant the user bonus EXP. Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.
Furthermore, the following user has now been declared by the System as the Reaper of the Corrupted. And with this title, they may now use their authority to bypass the authority of any other System user so long as their actions further the goal of wiping out the corruption. Alexia Knight. The Quantum Reaper. |
Alexia
I purse my lips rather awkwardly as I float inside of this strange chamber and finish reading the System Announcement in front of my face. An announcement that honestly took me by surprise.
Not that I have any real issues with it. Because it means new targets are being added to the Dimensional Blocks.
Although…
I glance at Zal, who is in the corner of the chamber outside of the sight of the livestream that's for some reason recording me in here. Only to find Zal looking rather panicked.
Like this wasn't in his plans for the Reset.
Guess the System is now finally doing something extreme that he had no plans or expectations for.
Interesting.
More importantly though, I pull up that lovely Legendary Feat once again to admire it some more.
Legendary Feat – Peak Pioneer As the first to reach Tier 5, you are given a permanent boost in EXP received from slaying monsters. |
That may just be one of the best Legendary Feats I've ever seen. Even if it doesn't actually state what the exact amount my EXP gain is boosted by is.
Which is a pity, but whatever.
Then there's the bonus EXP for slaying corrupted creatures.
Another nice benefit.
Extra EXP is always nice after all. No one would ever say no to it.
What's more is that it doesn't specify EXP to level up myself. So it might even extend to EXP for my skills as well.
Maybe.
It would certainly be nice if it did at least.
Anyways, the moment the System Announcement vanishes, I find another System Notification playing in my vision that has me frowning for a moment.
Private System Message As the Reaper, please address the people of the System. |
Did… I just get a message from the System itself?
I don't get any sort of response from the System, so I'm just left sighing and looking at the rather obvious red circle showcasing where the recording is coming from. Then I give a simple nod of my head and state, "Hello."
And just like that, I fall silent.
And stay silent.
Then another one of those messages play out in my vision as a notification.
Private System Message As the Reaper, please address the people of the System, motivating them to pursue hunting the corrupted beings. |
Sure. If you change the manner of your messages to the regular System Messages.
{Request received and processed. Please proceed with payment.}
Thank you very much. Those notifications were getting annoying.
"You heard the announcement," I state with a shrug of my shoulder. "Kill corrupted creatures, get EXP. What's there to not understand?" I raise a brow in amusement. "You even get to help save the universe while you're at it."
Alright. That's about it from me.
Can you send me back now?
{…}
I hear Zal trying and failing to hold back a laugh. A very vindictive sounding laugh. Like he's upset with the System and finds this hilarious because of that.
The System doesn't do anything for several seconds.
I'm being serious here. Please send me back. I've got things to do.
Then, without any message from the System, the notifications all vanish along with the livestream before I find myself reappearing in front of the corpse of the random dude whose name I don't remember other than him being my last target lying in front of me on an island.
Thank you.
The System still doesn't respond. And I get the feeling it's not paying attention to me anymore either.
Probably for the best.
I already have one stalker, I don't need another.
Well, time to head back to Dimensional Block #108.
