Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset LitRPG

Alexia

Time continues to pass by, day by day, week by week, until I eventually clear out the majority of the creepers from the cavern. At which point I finally begin to focus on the more compact areas with the webbing and the possible tunnels.

And I think I’ve reached the point where I shouldn’t have to worry about running out of soul.

So I let loose on the creepers.

I send a barrage of Quantum Bolts down on them while also using Quantum Singularity Implosion over and over again, practically sending their parts flying around the place. And once I’ve killed enough of them around one of the tunnels to the point that the tunnel is far from their range of senses, I teleport straight to the tunnel before clearing out the entrance a little bit.

Only to find a bunch of creepers inside of the tunnel immediately spilling out. So I teleport straight up to them and begin tearing them apart with my polearm instead.

Such an annoying boss area. It’s taking longer to deal with this one boss area than it took for the three dungeons before this one.

Makes me wonder just how long I’m gonna be in this Dimension-Wide Dungeon. Again.

Unfortunately for me, killing these creepers only makes more and more creepers flow upwards through the tunnel and out towards me. So many of them that I’m starting to think this tunnel may just be endless or something.

The creatures don’t really work all that well in cramped spaces though. Or they don’t fight well at least.

Which is odd considering that they’re living in these tunnels.

Either way though, this makes it so they’re very easy to massacre. Especially since they can’t really use their magic in these tunnels while I can cut away at them all day long.

Might not actually be a bad thing after all that these things are underground.

It is a rather tedious process though.

But this way I at least am not using soul to kill them. Just my blade.

Even if it takes longer this way.

I continue chopping away at the things until finally they stop pouring out of the tunnel. Which leaves me with a massive pile of creeper bodies outside, all cut apart and glitching.

Which just makes them look even creepier than they normally look.

Anyways, after clearing out the entrance of corpses a little by using Quantum Bolt to destroy them completely, I enter the tunnel, beginning to make my way deep inside of it.

Veeeeery deep inside of it.

My frown begins to grow deeper and deeper as I get further and further into the tunnel without so much as a hint of another side.

I’m really starting to hate this boss area.

Minutes pass. Then hours. Eventually I finally begin to see some eerie purple light after walking through the tunnel for four hours straight, not running just in case of an ambush.

I feel a smile reach my face at the sight of the light. Then I pick up the pace a little bit. Not quite running but still moving faster. And teleporting a bit.

Once I reach the source of the light, though, my smile vanishes.

“Well, fuck,” I mutter with a blank look on my face as I stare from the entrance of the tunnel at the massive cavern in front of me. One filled with an enormous cocoon and webbing connecting the cocoon to the walls of the cavern.

What I find rather shocking though isn’t the cocoon or the webbing.

It’s the massive creature sitting inside of the open cocoon.

Looks like a massive creeper with some differences.

Some of its legs are completely hairy like a spiders legs, others are hairy like a human’s legs, and others aren’t hairy at all. Some are just arms from an animal like a gorilla, others arms of a human. But in the position of legs. Meanwhile some of the arms have hands at the ends, others have feet. And some of the legs are the same.

But the creature’s size… it has to be at least a hundred meters tall.

If this isn’t a Cataclysm Class monster, I don’t know what is anymore.

What’s even more bizarre about it than its legs though… are its heads.

Heads.

Plural.

Multiple heads.

The thing has four heads. Each different types.

One has a plant-like head that is separated into four segments that open and close together sticking a bit out of the main part of the spider-like body. One is that of a normal spider in the normal location. Then there’s the head that looks like a screaming human just sticking out on top of the thing, and the ant head for some reason sticking randomly out of the side of its back segment. The one with the spinnerets at the end.

No idea what that part is called.

I don’t know spider biology.

But one thing is clear.

This thing is disturbing as hell.

And to make it all worse? The silk its spinnerets are spinning?

Made of flesh.

I almost want to turn around and walk away.

Honestly do.

It’s like this thing is here just to psychologically terrorize people.

But I don’t turn around.

Instead I identify it as any sane person would do.

{Cal – Vicious Creep of Cataclysm – Level 800}

What. The fuck. Is that name?

Cal? For this thing?

Such a normal name?

Oh, and Cal starts to scream after I identify it. But I have to continue questioning its name.

Even though the screams of four different animal heads are rather disturbing.

So disturbing that I grab my earplugs and put them in my ears.

Because yeah.

The thing slowly makes its way out of the cocoon before staring straight at me and screaming some more. Clearly not liking the fact that I identified it.

But I just stare at it rather blankly, wondering what sort of universe I live in for this thing to exist.

Well, at least I have my confirmation that Cataclysm Class monsters can be in dungeons. In Tier 4 dungeons to be specific.

Wish it were a more logical Cataclysm Class monster though.

The thing roars even louder as if in complaint.

Yeah, yeah, we’ll fight.

I let out a sigh before stepping further into the cavern.

This won’t be fun.
