Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Isabella stares indifferently after waking up. As the System Message plays out in her head and in front of her vision.

{Congratulations! You have reached Tier 3! The effect of each stat point has been increased by twenty percent and your level lock has been removed!}

{Congratulations! Your Class has upgraded to Legendary rarity! Hellfire Dragon now awards you +1 VIT, +1 DEX, +2 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN per level!}

{Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 251! Your Species has awarded you +2 VIT, +2 DEX, +2 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN. Your Class has awarded you +1 VIT, +1 DEX, +2 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN.}

[*New Racial Skill* – True Form: You are granted the ability to transform into your true form.]

{Congratulations! You have cleared the Dungeon known as the Titan\'s Domain! Touch the loot box to claim your reward!}

The hellfire dragon feels the corner of her lips twitch at the sight of her true form skill returning to her. And immediately after seeing it, she activates the skill, making a wave of black hellflames envelop her entire body.

She completely ignores the Universal Notification that appears in front of her vision as her transformation occurs, the hellflames growing larger and larger before vanishing again. And the instant they do, they\'re replaced with a ten-meter-long dragon with red and black scales coated in hellflames standing at the center of the large cavern she\'s in.

Isabella lets out a loud roar, shaking the lava-filled cavern before she begins to walk towards the exit and touches it without stopping. Then she appears outside of the dungeon and flaps her wings, soaring up into the air above the mountains of the 51st Dimensional Block.

I\'m back to my true form.

She lets out another roar that echoes across thousands of kilometers, making each and every being within the area turn to look in the direction it came from.

After several seconds of doing nothing but roaring while flapping her wings and staying level in the air, she goes silent and opens the leaderboards. And immediately after checking it, she closes it again.

The Reaper got to the level cap not long after I did, and I had to clear twenty dungeons for my ascension requirements. So just what is she left doing as The Reaper?

Isabella can\'t help but ponder about this, something she rarely ever does. Spending her time thinking about another being, much less a non-dragon.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

Then there\'s my son.

The Ancestral Dragon thinks for a bit about whether she should search for him or not before eventually deciding not to.

He can take care of himself.

She continues walking while briefly thinking of the Hound of the Apocalypse, who she is surprised didn\'t reach Tier 3 before her. But then she suddenly pauses for a second and reopens the leaderboards again.

Her eyes narrow.

I barely got to Tier 3 before he did.

After a few seconds of silence, she begins to fly through the air, closing out of the leaderboards in the process.

This Reset is getting interesting.

Dimensional Block #1

The Hound wakes up with a frown before flapping his wings immediately and shooting into the air to look out over the endless ocean around the island he had cleared his last requirement on. His requirement to slay ten angels – the natural enemies of the fallen angels.

He indifferently looks around at the angels who had attacked him. Something that was to be expected and he has grown used to over the years.

Being attacked on sight by any surviving angel from the massacre.

After several seconds he sighs and begins flying away. All while checking the leaderboards and frowning at the sight of his having taken second place.

Looks like The Reaper is having trouble with her ascension requirements.

The Hound frowns at that before shaking his head and continuing on through the skies.

He glances to the side when a man appears floating in the air near him. A man with blazing red eyes.

So Lucas stops flying to face the man with a frown, wondering why and how he is here. But it doesn\'t take him long to realize that it\'s just a projection of the man. Not his actual self.

The man has a black robe and cloak on, and his eyes are a molten red, with short black hair that goes down into his face on one side and is pasted back on the other. And even though he\'s just a projection, Lucas can feel the heat radiating out of him.

Lucas directly meets the man\'s eyes as he ignores the large snake heads going out from underneath his cloak.

"Ignivara," Lucas states in an indifferent tone of voice. "Why are you here?"

The Ancient Terror simply stares at the Hound for several seconds before eventually stating in an emotionless tone of voice, "Investigating."

Both of the apocalypse bringers stare at each other for several seconds.

Finally, the Hound states, "Please keep your rampages to a minimum in this new Reset."

Ignivara watches him emotionlessly for a while in silence before simply ending the projection without another word.

Lucas sighs and continues flying through the air.

He\'s the same as ever. I can never figure him out.

Time passes in silence as the Hound of the Apocalypse flies through the air towards the main headquarters of Dimensional Block #1. And eventually the island containing the headquarters enters his sight.

So long as Ignivara doesn\'t go on more rampages then it should be alright.

Lucas frowns slightly while pausing for a moment in his flight.

Still. I haven\'t seen him in ages.

A faint smile emerges on his face at seeing his and Lysandre\'s old friend again, even if both of them have changed a lot since the last time they saw each other.

And then there\'s The Reaper as well.

His smile stretches further, and he continues flying again.

This Reset is beginning to sound like a way to right old wrongs.
