Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Observation Effect Absorption is pretty good, and quite a bit better than Quantum Singularity which still hasn\'t gained a single level since getting it. The skill basically absorbs a very minimal amount of energy from every magical attack I see along with some environmental effects that generate energy. Not enough to significantly affect the result of the attack or effect, but still enough to build up a lot of energy over time. Energy that I can then release in a single quantum attack.

Although I wouldn\'t be surprised if in the future I will be able to absorb a significant amount that\'ll actually matter to the effects and affect the attacks.

Unfortunately I still can\'t use Quantum Phasing yet since it costs so much soul, but it is definitely starting to inch towards the point that it won\'t just cripple me from using it.

I sigh at that thought as I continue killing skeletons, wondering why I decided to choose this dungeon after all.

Then again, I glance at the leaderboards.

I\'m only barely holding onto my spot at the top of the Dimensional Championship Leaderboard. And that\'s with me losing it multiple times and regaining it.

On that note, almost all of the people on the top ten are now Class S species unlike with the Tutorial Leaderboard. Which goes to show that the Tutorial wasn\'t entirely based on pure power and was also partially based on luck and who could kill the most. Not to mention killing people.

The only people in the top ten that aren\'t Class S species now are Aurora Frost, the Frozen Empress, and Lucas Nightshade, the Hound of the Apocalypse.

But now there\'s a quantum reaper, a hellfire dragon, a kraken, a hellfrost dragon, a hydra, an archfiend, a lich king, and an archangel in the top ten.

As long as the Hound, archfiend, hydra, and lich king all stay far away from my Dimensional Block, I\'m fine. But I really don\'t like the idea that they\'re all still alive. Not that I expected any of them to die.

Would\'ve made the new dimension a lot safer if they were gone though.

I sigh at the thought, only to frown as I kill another undead and find some sort of key dropping from it. So I bend down and grab it, identifying the thing as I do so.

Wait… seriously? It was that type of dungeon? No wonder I never managed to find an exit or way to move on.

A type of dungeon where you have to just kill monsters until one by chance drops the key to the next floor. They typically don\'t have many floors – only three most of the time – and gradually get higher and higher leveled monsters the longer you\'re on the floor.

Except the last floor which typically has the monsters just growing in level over time until the boss spawns.

One of the few types of dungeons with only a single boss.

I raise the key into the air and twist it, making a door appear around the key with the key now in the keyhole. And without any hesitation, I open the door and step through, immediately finding myself in a different frozen wasteland. Just that this one doesn\'t have snow.

It\'s just ice for as far as the eye can see.

Silence fills the wasteland without a single sound for several seconds. Then I hear cracking noises echoing everywhere before I see a few small cracks showing up on the surface of the ice several meters away.

I tighten my grip on my polearm, only for several skeletons wearing older armor that\'s been lightly frosted over to jump out of the ice, shattering it in the process. And when they land on the ice a meter away from the cracks, more cracks appear on it and a light aura of frost envelops them with the appearance of a chilly mist.

Looks like the second floor adds in the ice element aligned monsters.

The silence that had once been filling the floor is now filled with the clattering of bones and armor as the skeletons raise polearms of their owns with glowing blue lights filling their eye sockets.

{Draugr Warrior – Level 132}

{Draugr Warrior – Level 133}

{Draugr Warrior – Level 134}

{Draugr Warrior – Level 131}

Okay. These undead look a little more intelligent than the ones on the previous floor.

Probably because they can use magic.

They don\'t appear to have true intelligence though. More like a programmed intelligence to make them better in combat.

But draugr? A type of higher leveled undead oftentimes living in cold areas and with ice magic.

This might be fun.
