Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

She\'s been avoiding all the more dangerous locations within the dungeons by just not taking the red portals. But she is starting to wonder if she should try to take on more powerful monsters soon.

After skipping around a bit more, ignoring the small army of weaker monsters chasing after her while slowly shriveling up, she decides to just continue as she is.

Her killing these things should be helping her mother after all. And while her amazing mother doesn\'t need the help, she wants to help her.

Their levels are linked after all, and she doesn\'t want her mother to be the only one leveling up and pushing them forward.

She wants to help too.

All daughters should help their parents after all.

That thought gives Luna pause though as a thought comes to mind, making her stop her skipping and tap her chin.

If mother is my mother, who is my father?

The face of the white haired dragon guy who is fond of cheating comes to mind, but then she shakes her head, remembering how her mother acts towards him. Not to mention how he is trying to cheat at that odd game, which is not the type of sort she\'d want as a father. Then after that guy the two older guys who had arrived come to mind, but they are too old to be her father. She thinks. Probably. And one is her grandfather after all, marking him off the list. Whatever a grandfather is.

So who?

She turns into her bat form again and flies up into the air right when the fallen kalla – a creature who is covered in fur that glistens in the light reflected off the lava filling the cavern – slashes its sharp claws right at her. Missing her in the process.

No matter how much Luna tries to think though, she can\'t figure out who would fit the term father for her.

Even that other old man who her mother had deemed \'quantum pops\' and \'dictionary\' – words she still needs to figure out – is her other grandfather. She thinks. The one who had briefly copied Luna\'s great appearance, clearly understanding how great she and her mother\'s appearances are. So he can\'t be her father.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

She still respects him for his mutual respect of their power and appearance though.

Luna\'s thoughts go to the other person who looks very similar to her mother, briefly wondering if she could be considered her father. If Luna remembers correctly, she was something called a sister. Whatever that was.

And she hasn\'t heard anything about a father not being able to be a sister, so it\'ll probably be fine.

Her head tilts slightly to the side as she lets out a little squeak, casually dipping down to avoid a flaming arrow shot at her by the still shriveling monsters down below.

I could always try to call her father and see how it feels.

Luna nods her head at that thought, deciding to call her mother\'s sister father the next time she sees her. And if it doesn\'t work out or doesn\'t feel right, she\'ll just call her by her name.

Whatever that is.

She continues to fly through the air while draining the kalla for several more minutes, very slowly killing each of them without actually getting physically violent with them. Then a question comes to mind.

What is a father anyways?

She\'s not entirely sure. She just knows that other people around that odd bunch of structures people called \'The Retreat\' seemed to think having one was normal. So she decided she wanted to try having one too.

I can just declare someone father, right?

Luna ponders over that for a few seconds before deciding she can.

After all, that strange quantum guy who looked a lot like the \'quantum pops\' guy came and declared himself her mother\'s grandfather.

Whatever that means.

Luna declaring her mother\'s sister her father isn\'t much different.

She lets out a little squeak at that thought before returning to the ground and her quantum vampire form, beginning to skip around everywhere once again. Still not caring about the level 502 monsters she\'s slaughtering rather easily due to her own level being tied to her mother\'s at level 540. Meanwhile she resumes her humming again.

Luna likes humming. It\'s not something she could really do while in her bat form.

Although she doesn\'t like it as much as she likes to listen to her mother when she hums, often without realizing she\'s humming.

It\'s just nice and relaxing to her. Almost puts her to sleep every time just from how nice it is to listen to.

So Luna continues to hum even as she passes by an elite monster within the dungeon, ignoring it as well since it\'s twenty levels beneath her. Skipping on past it while trying the thing she saw people doing back in \'The Retreat\' they called dancing. Something she could never do since she wasn\'t humanoid.

Luna\'s very happy with her new humanoid form. Especially since she looks so much like her mother.

Before now she was worried because every other mother and daughter she saw looked similar to each other. But Luna was a bat while her mother was not.

And that made her a little anxious.

Now Luna and her mother look just like each other, albeit with her mother being bigger.

Luna tries to let out a happy squeak at that, only to remember that she\'s in her quantum vampire form, not her bat form. So the sound comes out strange.

She just acts like that didn\'t happen as she continues to ignore the monsters who are all sending one attack after another at her, the young girl skipping along with a bright smile on her face.

This is such a nice day!
