Reaper's Resurgence - Book 2 - Chapter 50 - Tier 3

Alexia

The very instant my eyes open after the ascension, I find several System Messages ringing out in my head.

{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! Current advanced stats are 30% weakness to all magic except for Hellfrost magic, ice magic, fire magic, water magic, earth magic, lightning magic, …, an 80% immunity to all physical damage, and a stat multiplier of 1.16.}

{Congratulations! Your Class has upgraded to Legendary rarity! Quantum Reaper now awards you +1 VIT, +2 DEX, +1 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, +2 DEX, +1 STR, +2 MAG, and +2 MEN.}

[*New Racial Skill* – Quantum Obscurity: Your body grows further stabilized in the quantum, making powers that affect the spirit completely useless against you. This includes all types of divination, scrying, death magic, soul magic, and more]

I grin at that new racial skill, deciding to ignore how the System straight up stopped listing the adaptations I’ve obtained. Although it is nice to know that the current level of my Quantum Adaptation skill maxes out the adaptations at simply removing my weakness to the magics. Which isn’t as good as I thought it was.

Guess I just got used to magic hurting more thanks to Quantum Body.

Well, that aside, I quickly pull up the first notification I got before ascending once more with a wide smile on my face.

Now that is a good Legendary Feat bonus. Probably the best one I’ve gotten thus far.

The other Legendary Feat bonus is pretty good too, but not as good.

It's also a bonus that reminds me of Vargas’s presence at the edge of the pyramid’s peak, proving that neither he nor Ethan who I find playing some sort of gambling game with newly albeit poorly made cards. Something they probably got from a nearby city or something.

Although knowing the two of them I wouldn’t be surprised if they simply stole it. Or just walked up and had it handed to them when they ‘politely’ asked.

Either way, the two dragons look over at me and actually wave me over. So after a brief hesitation I walk over towards them while considering what active skill I should use the new slot for. And after thinking about it the entire ten second walk to the dragons, I realize that the decision isn’t a hard one. Especially after that battle with the abomination where my physical strength was lacking to actually hurt the thing.

Quantum Resonance is coming back. For the physical strength boost.

I already have a singular ranged attack, Quantum Bolt, an area ranged attack, Quantum Paradox Blast, a healing skill, Quantum Reversal, teleportation, Quantum Displacement, and the support boost skill that will help me in certain situations, Wave-Particle Cascade. But I don’t have anything for my physical strength slotted. And I originally didn’t plan on slotting anything for that since it wasn’t as important as my magic.

Now that I have an extra slot though…

“Bout time you joined us,” Vargas says while raising a cup of wine that suddenly appears in his hand, likely from one of the storage rings on said hand. “I was beginning to wonder if you’d ever reach Tier 3.”

I roll my eyes at the dragon, having grown a bit more used to him over the past months due to running into him from time to time. And he seems to have grown more used to me as well, considering that he’s willing to joke now.

He’s still not as friendly or willing to help me as Ethan is by a longshot though. Which basically confirms my suspicions about Ethan’s feelings.

“Yeah, well, you try having to kill another level capped user to ascend and say the still say that,” I tell him with a shrug, not caring about hiding my requirement anymore considering how obvious it is. They’d have to be idiots not to have reached that conclusion themselves.

Just as expected, neither look surprised.

A few seconds of silence pass as I stand near them watching their game, the two dragons sitting on the top of the stairs. And from what I can see, Vargas is losing pretty badly.

“Join us!” Vargas says with a smile, “We can start over for you!”

I raise an eyebrow as Ethan says, “You’re just using her as an excuse to start over, aren’t you?”

Vargas places his hand over his chest and puts on a wounded expression as he says, “Why I would never do that!”

So much for a dragon’s pride.

This one is hella shameless.

Despite that I go ahead and sit on the ground next to them and join in on their card game as I consider what my plans are going from here.

Obviously the first thing I need to do is head back to Dimensional Block #108, but what should I do after that…

The only thing I can think of is finding some Tier 3 dungeons, since I’ve only seen a couple of them total out of all of the dungeons I’ve seen thus far.

I continue playing the game, gradually beating Vargas and ending up in a tie somehow with Ethan, to Vargas’s utter dismay, before Ethan finally asks, “Hey Lexi, what do you say about trying something with me and Vargas?”

“Hmm?” I hum while turning to look at him. And the serious expression on his face has me frowning slightly as I answer, “Depends on what it is.”

He leans forwards, his elbows on his knees, and says, “What do you say about trying to take down the Cataclysm Class monster of Dimensional Block #108 with us?”

I blink at that, almost dropping the cards in my hand that I just picked up after Vargas dealt them out.

Huh?
