Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset B5 | Chapter 1

Alexia

And that makes another day without running into any piranhas. This is really becoming a nice little streak of no piranha days.

When I ca back into the Tier 5 dungeon, I was certain I was going to run into so piranhas at so point within the strongest ‘planet’ of the dungeon. It just felt inevitable. Like it was bound to happen.

What with the dungeon’s obsession with piranhas and all.

But nope. I haven’t run into a single piranha yet.

Just all these incredibly annoying scorpions.

And the scorpions in question still don’t want to die easily. Leaving struggling with killing them.

The scorpions can’t really catch either though, since I can just teleport all over the place. So it ends up being just as much of a stalemate as it was the last ti I was here.

But I do manage to kill so from ti to ti. And each kill here ans a lot of EXP for , raising my level a good chunk.

Of course, that ans I gradually grow stronger and stronger as I spend entire weeks fighting around the ‘planet’. Which is just a bunch of rubble surrounding so sort of wormhole with gravity all ssed up here. All with nurous other wormholes scattered throughout the place.

And this ti I can fight in peace without trillions of people stalking through the livestream. So yay for that.

Despite how annoying these scorpions are to kill, I actually manage to enjoy myself as I fight through them all.

Until so of the scorpions manage to knock into a wormhole and I find myself appearing within so sort of large dark place. A place I can only vaguely sense the edges of without actually being able to see.

Which shouldn’t be possible with my eyes that can see clearly even without any light whatsoever.

My eyes narrow.

And I’m not alone in here either.

There’s several monsters moving around. Just floating in the air.

I keep an eye on the monsters using my energy sensing capabilities – seeing as I can’t actually see them – before one of them suddenly begins to rush towards . Making blast at it with a quantum bolt.

This story originates from . Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

Only for said monster to completely tank the quantum bolt without even slowing down before tackling and sending flying into the edge of the space here.

I cough out a mouthful of glitchy purplish red blood as pain wracks my body. But it doesn’t last long before I use Quantum Reversal to reverse any and all of the damage. Then I teleport away right when another one of the monsters is about to attack , leaving it to slam into the wall instead.

Well this isn’t good.

I can’t see them, they can just shrug off my quantum bolts, and they’re strong and fast enough to send flying without letting respond very quickly.

From what I can tell based on the size of their energy signatures, the monsters aren’t all that big. Bigger than , sure, but only a couple ters in diater overall. With the form of so sort of ball.

Please tell they’re not piranhas. Because they kinda feel like they’re shaped like fish. And I want this no-piranha streak to last longer.

Since quantum bolts don’t work, I go ahead and try sothing else. Specifically more powerful quantum magic attacks through my skills. But none of my other offensive skills work either.

So I move over towards anti-magic bullets. And those actually surprisingly work.

Rather well, in fact, as they blast a hole through the darkness. Almost like they’re dispelling the darkness itself.

Which, in turn, allows to clearly see the monsters charging at now that the darkness is gone between us.

They’re actually not piranhas. In fact, they’re not fish at all. Nor are they actually the shape I thought they were.

The monsters are actually octopuses. Or octopi? Is that the right term?

Either way, they’re octopuses that have their tentacles wrapped around their bodies almost like they’re hugging themselves. Except that right after light begins to hit them, they finally spread out their tentacles in so sort of frenzy. Almost like they’re frightened of the light or sothing.

I don’t really care much about their fear though as I continue peppering them with anti-magic bullets.

Bullets that pass straight through their tentacles with ease before poking holes in their main bodies.

Huh. These things really are weak against the anti-magic bullets.

Which is weird considering what these bullets are made out of. What with them pretty much just being condensed energy that’s ant to shatter spell circles from a distance.

Well, at the end of the day, it works. So it’s best not to question it.

I’ve heard programrs from before the Reset say sothing like that for programming too. Half the ti a program works they have no idea why but don’t want to touch it further because they may make it not work again by accident.

Although I kind of doubt these anti-magic bullets will just suddenly stop working out of nowhere.

Anyways, I continue peppering the monsters with them all around before they eventually die off completely. But not without managing to identify one of them, of course.

During which process I manage to find that they’re actually higher level than the scorpions outside of this place. Standing at a grand level 2100.

Hmm. Yeah, these things aren’t actually that hard to kill when I’m using anti-magic bullets.

Who would’ve thought that I’d be able to kill a bunch of monsters with these bullets alone?

A faint smile creeps onto my face as I continue killing off the rest of the octopuses – I decided on this term because why not – until I finally finish off all of the monsters. At which point I turn my attention to the tiny wormhole I ended up revealing while shooting everywhere.

Okay, ti to check where this goes.

Hopefully a place with more of these monsters. Because they give good EXP.
