Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Why… didn\'t I check the outside of the temple first before trying to get inside?

I blink at that before shaking my head.

Right. Because of the undead surrounding it, and because I didn\'t expect the hidden exit to be outside of the temple.

I glance at the walls of the temple.

Or rather inside with the entrance being outside?

Either way, I let out a sigh, one filled with exasperation at my meaningless plight of trying to enter the temple along with relief at being able to leave the dungeon before the Dimensional Council meeting that will be happening in just half a day.

I really wasn\'t expecting to get out before it started.

On that note, I rush into the hidden exit, soon finding a door that I quickly open to reveal a purple portal. Then I touch the portal, finding myself appearing outside of the dungeon.

I stretch a little after finally leaving the frozen wasteland behind despite the cold of the wasteland not actually bothering me before I begin walking towards the edge of the island I\'m on, not teleporting so as to let my soul regenerate. And once I reach the edge of the island, I come to realize a rather annoying problem.

Where am I?

The island\'s moved quite a bit since I went into that dungeon, so I kind of don\'t know where the home island is right now.

I stare out over the edge of the island for a moment before narrowing my eyes and trying to look for the home island. Because it can\'t be that far, considering how slowly the islands move, and how they move in a repeated pattern. But no matter how hard I search, I can\'t find it. Not on this side of the island at least.

So I make a dash for the other side of the island and search in that direction as well before eventually finding it and beginning my teleportation trip through the air.

The trip along with the initial problem of finding the island in the first place end up taking about eight hours before I find myself back at the base. And I quickly find myself impressed at how much work has been put into it since I left. Not to mention the new people here, since there are quite a few.

Guess the people who rejected our offer to join the base either decided to join after all or told other people about our base and they joined instead.

Honestly, the base is starting to look a bit more like a city with some rather strong walls and an odd stone aesthetic rather than the base it originally was. Also, the people are sending me frightened looks as I walk by. Which takes me a moment to realize the reason for.

Right. I\'m level 200 now. Which is over twice the level of everyone here.

Come to think of it, I wonder if Astrid has reached Tier 2 yet? I\'d be surprised if she wasn\'t already level 100, but whether she\'s reached Tier 2 or not is a different matter entirely.

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

Mostly just depends on what her ascension requirements are.

One that note, I open my skills list as I walk into the base, almost instinctively searching for Astrid with my senses.

[General Skills]

|Pain Resistance Level 8(1%)(T1)|

|Polearm Mastery Level 8(29%)(T1)|

|Forerunner (Unique)|

|Stealth Level 3(64%)(T1)|

|Survivor Level 3(14%)(T1)|

|Poison Resistance Level 4(29%)(T1)|

|Exploration Level 5(17%)(T1)|

|Anti-Magic Barrier (Unique)|

|Tutorial Champion (Unique)|

|Energy Manipulation Level 1(76%)(T1)|

[Active Skills]

|Quantum Displacement Level 12(2%)(T2)|

|Quantum Reversal Level 8(21%)(T1)|

|Observation Effect Absorption Level 2(11%)(T1)|

|Quantum Infusion Level 8(52%)(T1)|

|Quantum Adaptation Level 9(41%)(T1)|

|Quantum Aura Level 4(83%)(T1)|

Unfortunately the Feat decided on two of my lowest leveled skills to level up when it picked at random. Both Waveform Manipulation and Observation Effect Absorption. So the Feat was rather inefficient.

I wish would\'ve leveled up Quantum Displacement or Quantum Adaptation instead. Even Quantum Bolt, Reversal, or Infusion would\'ve been much better.

Instead it chose those two. A rather unfortunate turn of my luck.

It doesn\'t take me long to find Astrid since she seems to be at some sort of meeting in the large stone and wood building at the center of the city. So I immediately head there where I find guards stationed at the door. Guards that immediately let me in when they see me.

"So it\'s settled then," Alara says as soon as I enter the large one room meeting building. "I will meet with the King of Giants Varsac during the Dimensional Council and give him our answer then."

I blink at that before stopping a single foot into the room.

"The King of Giants?" I ask, more than a little confused. And when everyone turns from the round table they\'re all sitting around to look at me, I add, "Is Varsac near our island?"

Everyone looks surprised to see me. Pleasantly surprised in fact.

Alara nods at me from her place at the head of the table on the left end of the room and says, "That is correct, Reaper. And they sent a delegation out to every decently sized city they could find informing everyone about their plans to crown one of their own as the Dimensional Leader for our Block."

Oh.

"They also sound rather assured that one of their own will become the Dimensional Champion," Astrid points out, sounding more than a little amused at that. "But we all know how that\'ll work out."

Everyone nods their heads in agreement with her, their gazes turning towards me.

I just snort in response to their stares.

Looks like people are finally grouping together and making factions now.

This\'ll be interesting.
