[Simple Horizontal Slash] [Simple Stab]@@@@ +-----+ What is with these stats? Neraxis thought with a shocked look, glancing all around. It did not feel much different from before—he still felt like himself—but just much, much lighter. But of course, the amount of mana he could control now was nearly immeasurable. Evangeline? he called out. [I'm here...] she replied with slight confusion. [Are you all... you know... there?] I think so, Neraxis said, inspecting his body. It was fully restored, just as the system note said. His heart was back and beating as steadily as before, yet his emotions seemed to have dulled further, as the only thing he felt at the moment was emptiness—and, of course, surprise. "No. I want to find my origin... Why am I able to do these things when others can't?" She turned to him, tears streaming down her face. "There has to be a reason, right...?" "I'm sure there is, Jane," Neraxis commented before turning around, facing the desolate land. "I won't stop you. I think no one will," he added. All of a sudden, Neraxis expanded his entire mana pool outward, covering the entire city as well as the area up to the mountains in the distance. As he did, Neraxis began interfering with the laws of the world, influencing the properties of his mana while casually rewinding the time of whatever and whoever he wished. [15% of the total civilians have been killed!] [11% of the total civilians have been killed!] [6% of the total civilians have been killed!] [1% of the total civilians have been killed!] He kept the number reasonable and avoided the spy he had killed, before adding the finishing touches. Each building that had been broken down, along with the walls, was restored as though there had been no invasion in the first place. Yet he was not finished. He decided to tidy up the desolate land as well, making sure water coursed through the soil, while at the same time growing plants, trees, and even whole forests around the city. It was the complete opposite of his {Aura of the Abyss}, but in the end, Neraxis felt it was worth it despite the searing pain growing inside him. [Skill - Dawn of Ruin Duration: 10 seconds left!] Noticing only a few seconds were left, he let out a deep breath and smiled at Jane. "It was fun, and I wish you luck on your journey. I hope we can meet again." "Y-You..." She was still shocked by what he had just done moments ago, but before she could protest, his hearing disappeared, followed by the sensation of him moving through something, until eventually, Neraxis found himself sitting on a white sofa. [Trial Stopped!] [Prerequisites met!] [Main Scenario: Pesant Girl {SSS+} - Part 1 Complete] [Main Scenario: Next Part - 15th Floor} [Dreamspire - 9th Floor Hard Mode: City Defense - Complete] [Climber: Neraxis Valen] [9th Floor Rating Generating...] [Rating Generated: SSS+++] [Position: 58,992,337 → 21,002,119] [Current Progress: 9/? Floors] [Dreamspire - 10th Floor Hard Mode: Shadow of the Past - Available] [Do you wish to enter?] [Yes/No] Neraxis glanced through the messages, especially the one regarding the main scenario. It seemed like he would be able to see Jane on multiple floors, which meant that at the end of the main scenario, he would definitely find something important. Nonetheless, as his finger hovered above the "Yes" button, a voice interrupted him. [I expected you to wield my powers like a madman and destroy everything in sight. Who knew you could be so poetically righteous?] A frown appeared on Neraxis's face. Lagus. [That's right,] Lagus affirmed as the last seconds of the skill finally ticked down. [With each usage of my skill, you will struggle to control yourself more and more, until eventually, your body will become mine—] Fuck off. Neraxis cut him off. The moment I get strong enough, you will be the first one to die. Count your days. [Hahahah—] The laugh was cut off, followed by: [Skill - Dawn of Ruin - Deactivated!] [All stats have returned to normal!] He expected some recoil, but instead, relief washed over him as the pain vanished. But of course, he felt his body being slow again, a stark contrast to his overwhelming strength mere moments ago. Nonetheless, Neraxis would not let that get to him as he focused on the "Yes" button and pressed it. [Dreamspire - 10th Floor Hard Mode: Shadow of the Past] [Objective: Defeat the copy of your previous self.] [Note: You will not be able to die during the trial, and you can only leave once you defeat your previous self.] [Status: Initializing...]
