Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Oh. Right. The Dimensional Council.

I almost forgot about that thing.

"Lexi?" I hear Astrid\'s voice, making me turn to find Astrid standing behind me with a new appearance to her. Although not too new.

"So you chose to buy it after all?" I ask rhetorically with a smile before walking up and grabbing her hand while looking into her now almost pitch black irises. "I\'m glad you could afford it."

She nods her head with a smile as she says, "I didn\'t have much to spend on anything else, but I could afford it."

"That\'s good," I say before looking up at the sky again. "Looks like the islands are moving now."

"Yeah," Astrid says, also looking up at the sky.

After watching the clouds slowly get closer to us as I\'m pretty sure the island floats upwards for a while, I turn around and glance back at the base at the sound of shouting. Then I share a quick glance with Astrid before we both break into a sprint running over to the base. And while I run I look over my sister to see if there are any other changes to her appearance. But the only change is that her eyes are a lot darker, to the point of her irises almost matching her pupils in color. And maybe her hair got a bit shinier, but it was already black, so it\'s hard to tell.

Once we make it to the base, I find myself frowning at the sight that greets us.

The sight of the third princess shouting at her naked brother while a bunch of other naked people have weapons pointed at them, and another group of naked people are being hidden behind others who are actually wearing clothes. That last group being those from the princess\'s team, along with Rob. Poor Rob.

After seeing that they have it under control and making several of them shiver with fear just at the sight of me, I ignore the lot and head back to my clearing, not fazed in the slightest by their state of clothing. Or lack thereof.

Astrid quickly catches up to me as she asks, "Not going to do anything about them?"

I shake my head and answer, "No, not my problem to deal with. I got my revenge for them attacking and hurting you, so I\'m good. Now it\'s the princess and Alara\'s problem to deal with."

If she wants to kill them again, she can do it. Not like they can defend themselves without any weapons or even clothing.

And if she doesn\'t want to kill them, not my problem. Unless they try to attack me or Astrid, then I\'ll just kill them for good this time.

But the terrified looks in their eyes when they saw me don\'t paint them as people who would be stupid enough to attack me again. Not even Rodrick.

Luna suddenly begins to stir a little on my shoulder, the little bat having been asleep for a while now. Throughout that entire process, actually.

Not sure how she managed to sleep through that, but what the heck.

To my surprise, she suddenly begins flapping her wings and flies up into the air before squeaking once at me. Then she flies off into the jungle, leaving me staring after her.

Huh.

I think… she just told me she\'s going hunting? But… isn\'t she a quantum being? Does she really need to… oh, right. Drains energy from other creatures for nutrients. Almost forgot.

"Is she…" Astrid mutters while glancing at me, but I just shake my head and answer, "She\'s going to eat."

Astrid hums in response as I move over to the spot where the house\'s construction had started. Then I purse my lips for a second and turn to walk to a spot next to where the house\'s construction is.

"Something I bought in the Tutorial Shop," I mention while raising my hand and pointing at the ground, following which my ring begins to glow with a purple light, illuminating the area so brightly I have to shut my eyes. And when I open them again, I find a nice little house just sitting on the hill next to the other building.

The new house is just two stories in height and isn\'t anything fancy. It seems to be made up of a sleek silver metal and is trapezoidal in shape, but it doesn\'t have any sort of outdoor decorations. Just some windows, a nice front porch, a balcony going over the front door connected to the second floor, and windows scattered throughout the walls.

I turn to look at Astrid with my hands on my hips as I smile and tell her, "Welcome to my temporary mobile home!"

My twin just stares at the large home for several seconds before looking at me, then at the home again, then finally at me.

Finally she says, "Glad to be here. But we\'re still building you a better home when we can."
