Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Outside of the Military Base Alexia is at

Seconds before her arrival

Lefar MonGaroue feels bored as he stands outside of his boss's base. Because he was wanting to participate in the dungeon crawl team's hunts.

There isn't any way to level up when he's stuck standing guard in front of the base.

He isn't even sure why he and the others of the Mon Gang were ordered to stand guard here. Even the brand new members of the gang and the other gangs that had nothing to do with gangs prior to the Reset were given the order.

Lefar tilts his head towards the ground as he closes his eyes and lets out a sigh. Then he hears shuffling and muttering from the other subordinates of the boss, followed by the cocking of guns. So he opens his eyes and looks up again, only to blink at what he sees.

"Quantum Reaper, please turn back and we will not have any problems. If you do not turn around, we will be forced to shoot," the leader of one of the other gangs in their base shouts, reminding Lefar of where he's seen the woman before.

And that reminder sends a chill down his spine.

Standing several meters in front of the large turrets stationed near the entrance to the base is a beautiful woman. She has black hair heavily tinted in purple with glitching purple eyes, and as he's looking at her, she suddenly summons a massive pillar of energy before transforming to gain batlike draconic wings and horns. All while a scythe appears in her hand and she doesn't stop moving.

What the…

The woman just continues walking without even glancing at Lefar or his men.

It takes him a few seconds to recover as he and the rest of the men turn their guns onto her. But even as all of the guns turn on her, including the turrets, she just continues to ignore them.

When they all realize she isn't going to stop, they begin firing on her with everything they have. Both magical shots and non-magical ones.

Only for the vast majority of the bullets to pass straight through her, glitching from one side of her to the other.

Except for the magical bullets, which barely go into her. Only for the wounds to glitch apart and vanish an instant later.

Lefar stiffens up, and he notices all of the others doing the same. Then the woman turns around and glances at them without a single ounce of interest or irritation on her face.

"That was rude," the Quantum Reaper says, her voice echoing through the area in an ominous way.

Lefar instantly stiffens up and begins firing his weapon at her with abandon, the same as all of the others here. But the magical bullets appear to do less and less damage the more hit her. Almost like she's adapting to the damage.

Even the turrets, which use bolts of lightning, don't do any damage to her in the slightest despite also being magic. With some of the bolts of lightning simply bouncing off of her and hitting their own men instead.

Then he finally remembers the rumors going around about the Quantum Reaper. Rumors stating that the Reaper has a skill that lets her adapt to anything, making it deal less damage the more she's adapted to it.

Lefar feels fear spreading through him for the first time in a long while. Except for when the boss is angry. He feels fear around the boss a lot. But he's the boss, so it doesn't count.

She's no doubt going to be furious bout our attacks, so I've gotta-

His thoughts trail off when he sees the Reaper casually turning around and continuing into the base. After blasting a hole in the door.

Ignoring everyone outside of the base.

Lefar feels so shocked by this that he just stands in place, unsure of how to respond. And most of the others are the same.

Meanwhile the few who follow her inside, continuing to shoot at her in the process, are ignored by the woman as if they don't exist.

At this point Lefar just stands in place, deciding not to bother her.

Time passes as he stands outside of the base alongside several of the others, only to feel even more surprised when he hears more shouting coming from inside. Shouting he recognizes as being from his boss.

Then he sees said boss being tossed out through the front door, making him roll on the ground to land on his feet while gritting his teeth.

The boss completely ignores Lefar and the others as he glares at the entrance, where the Reaper is currently walking out of with one of her hands in her pocket and her other on her scythe.

Is she really… just… tossing him…? The boss…?

His boss rushes forwards to attack the Reaper with his bare fists, only for his fists to go missing when the Reaper cuts off his hands with her scythe. All without showing any sort of expression on her face.

But the boss doesn't stop there as he jumps up and kicks the Reaper in the face, sending her flying backwards a little bit until she stops herself with a flap of her wings. And for the first time, Lefar sees a slight look of irritation cross her eyes.

Everything after that is a blur though.

He sees the woman glitch in place, the scythe fly through the air by glitching multiple times and teleporting, and then the boss's head disappearing from his shoulders. Only for his body to pop like a balloon after that after glitching once.

Lefar gapes at the aftermath as the Reaper lets out a huff of air and returns to her previous form.

Then he simply watches her teleport into the air before teleporting away from the base without a word.

Leaving everyone there stunned into silence for several minutes after their boss's death.

What… just happened?
