Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset LitRPG

Alexia

Before I can gather my bearings from the man’s sudden departure, I find myself being teleported again into what looks like a small reception room with a reception desk and an androgynous being made of quantum energy manning it. Then a Notification appears in my vision while also being announce out loud.

The Top Ten Users on the Leaderboards will now be given their Levels of Authority!

First Ranked User Alexia Knight is now assigned an Authority Level of 3.

Second Ranked User Lucas Nightshade is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Third Ranked User Leif Eriksson is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Fourth Ranked User Aurora Frost is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Fifth Ranked User Isabella d’Aragon is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Sixth Ranked User Alexander Frost is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Seventh Ranked User Leonidas Silver is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Eighth Ranked User Noah Kowalski is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Ninth Ranked User Nathan Briar is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Tenth Ranked User Damien Black is now assigned an Authority Level of 2.

Unlike the Noble ranks from before the Reset, the first three Levels of Authority grant their holders the following perks:

Level 1 Authority Holders get a single vote on the Dimensional Council of their Block and are granted the right to pass through the Dimensional Walls with three other users.

Level 2 Authority Holders get three votes on the Dimensional Council of their Block and are granted the right to pass through the Dimensional Walls with ten other users.

Level 3 Authority Holders get five votes on the Dimensional Council of their Block and are granted the right to pass through the Dimensional Walls with twenty-five other users. They also are granted the ability to temporarily ban one user from passing through a Dimensional Wall every month for one week. This ability may only be used on those with a lower Level of Authority than the user, and it targets Authority Holders and non-Authority Holders alike.

Nice. That third ability that I’ll be given could come in handy. It would let me run away from someone through a Dimensional Wall if I needed to without having to worry about them passing through to chase after me.

Out of nowhere, a purple light begins to shine from beneath my skin, following which a System Message plays on.

{Congratulations! Your System Authority has reached Level 3!}

Cool.

Another System Notification plays out after that message.

The System Tutorial Shop is Now Open!

The System Tutorial Shop contains both items and skills that may be purchased by the users. Both of which are of low and high value, with some being nearly impossible to get outside of this store.

However, the rarer and harder to find the skill or item, the more it will cost you in terms of points to purchase them.

Class skills may not be purchased in the store.

Species changes may be purchased in the store.

Class changes may be purchased in the store.

Affinities may be purchased in the store for anyone who is not a Class S species.

Tier 1 through 3 items may be purchased in the store along with Unique items.

Regular and Unique skills may be purchased in the store.

Users will have three hours to peruse the System Tutorial Shop before it closes.

To open the System Tutorial Shop, simply speak with the System Assistant located across the receptionist desk in the room you find yourself in.

A faint grin slips its way onto my face at the sight of Species changes being available in the Tutorial Shop. Something that Astrid wanted.

And we have three hours to shop? Not bad.

After the notification vanishes, I walk up to the receptionist desk before asking, “The shop?” And before I even finish speaking, a menu appears in front of me. One that currently has the purchase options listed in order of least expensive to most expensive, with there being tens of thousands of purchase options. Maybe even hundreds of thousands, in fact.

It also looks like I can change the way it’s organized to make it show only certain options, like only items, or only items of a certain Tier.

I purse my lips at the sight of the cheapest options on the list. Things that only cost a single point apiece.

Things like daily necessities and food. Lots, and lots, of daily necessities and food. To the point of things like a roll of toilet paper that will last for a year giving out unlimited amounts of toilet paper, or a thermos of water that never runs out for a month after it’s first opened.

Overall, a lot of stuff that I don’t actually need. Because, since I don’t drink water or eat food, I don’t actually have to go to the bathroom anymore.

A very nice plus from being a quantum being.

I’ve also learned over the past month that some other regular things that humans have to put up with don’t happen anymore to me either, which I’m very thankful for.

So I don’t really have many daily necessities anymore. Not as a quantum reaper.

Moving on down the list, the things that cost between two to five points are just non-System items in general. Things like basic tools, clothing of all sorts, and even some very basic seeds for common crops that could be found prior to the Reset. Then there’s Tier 1 items that cost between ten and one hundred points, Tier 2 items that cost between one hundred and a two hundred and fifty points, and Tier 3 items that cost between two hundred and fifty and five hundred points.

As for skills… there aren’t many. Most General skills seem to range from one hundred to five hundred points apiece depending on the skill. And just like I expected, each skill starts out at Tier 1.

But the few Unique skills that are on the list all cost three thousand points each, which I am the only person in the Tutorial that has the amount to afford.

Species changes from a Class B species to a Class A species cost between five hundred and seven hundred and fifty points, while new affinities and class changes vary depending on the Class rarity and the affinity’s Class and which one it is.

And quantum affinity is, of course, not offered as an option.

Guess it’s time to shop.
