The Border of the Dimensional Grid

Rockfell grits his teeth as he shouts, “Don’t let up! Keep blasting away at them!” Meanwhile he himself throws over half a dozen balls of blue flame into the waves of corrupted creatures rushing towards them.

He and the millions of other users from the System are all fighting along the walls of the Dimensional Grid. With him specifically being at the Dimensional Block #1 side, where he can even see the Hound of the Apocalypse fighting far away from him.

But even the Hound is struggling to fight all of the time against the horde of corrupted creatures.

There’s just too many of them, and they never stop.

Rockfell himself has nearly been overrun numerous times already. And he’s an Ascendant.

After fighting for several more hours, he finds another massive wave of corrupted creatures approaching. With the wave being far larger than any previous wave before it.

The stone dragonoid grits his teeth as he quietly wonders if he’ll survive this. But right as the wave is about to arrive, every single corrupted creature suddenly freezes in place. Then a wave of quantum energy rushes over them, and they begin to glitch apart into nothing.

Shocking all of the users into silence at the sight.

W-what just happened?

His answer comes soon in the form of a woman glitching into existence in front of the users. Right where the army of corrupted creatures was.

The woman is very familiar to nearly every user standing there. And even the few who don’t immediately recognize her from the previous times the System has shown her appearance feel instinctively exactly who she is. Simply from looking at her.

She has long purple hair that is so dark it’s almost black, deep purple bat and draconic wings extended from her back, two slightly curled dark purple horns on her head, and a single scythe in her hand. The woman is wearing a set of leather and metal armor, with pants and a top where the metal only makes itself known underneath the cloth and leather in most areas. With little to no skin showing other than her face and neck.

On top of her armor, she has on a cloak that is billowing in the wind, and the moment she turns around to look at them, Rockfell hears numerous people sucking in a breath.

Himself included amongst their number.

She has a rare, almost unearthly beauty, and yet, despite that, all of the users feel an instinctive terror just from looking at her. Almost like she is the end of life. The one to claim their souls once they die.

That instinctive fear doesn’t last long before their consciousnesses reaffirm themselves along with their identities as high Tier users, but the fact that the sight of her was that overwhelming alone makes all of the users wary of her.

Even though most of them know she is an ally.

The Quantum Reaper. I heard she was undergoing some sort of trial to grow stronger for this emergency, but this…

Her level is far higher than any other Ascendant he has ever seen after the Reset. He can tell that without even identifying her.

The sheer amount of energy radiating off of her is enough to frighten lower Tier users into fainting at the sight of her.

Right. She just wiped out an army of hundreds of millions of corrupted creatures with a single move after arriving. This amount of power is likely nothing to her.

A large part of him feels melancholic at the sight of her. Simply because of his old position of power before the Reset appeared. But he’s seen what she is capable of. One of his old business partners before the Reset was amongst the less intelligent individuals who tried to kill her before she could reach Ascendant Tier.

And everyone in the Dimensional Grid knows how that ended.

The Quantum Reaper, Alexia Knight, glances over the millions of users staring warily at her before she turns around and looks at another force of corrupted creatures that are beginning to rush towards them. Then, after a strange wave of energy rushes out from her into the corrupted creatures, she snaps her fingers. Making a vortex appear in the middle of the approaching corrupted creatures. One that draws all of the nearby corrupted creatures into it.

Then the vortex implodes, blasting corrupted parts of corrupted creatures all around it after killing them all.

Rockfell feels his fear of her beginning to return again. But he also feels something else appearing amidst that fear.

Awe.

He begins to feel genuine awe of her power. And how she’s using that power to help save them and the rest of the Dimensional Grid.

Rockfell glances at the other users all around the Grid’s wall to see a lot of them with similar expressions to himself. Expressions that are as if they’re looking at their savior, even if there is fear mixed in with the awe.

After seeing the reactions of the other users, Rockfell turns back to look at the Quantum Reaper again. Only to find her with her scythe raised before clouds made out of glitching quantum energy begin to form. With lightning made of quantum energy emerging within the clouds as well.

The lightning then strikes down at her scythe before she sweeps it in front of her, sending numerous bolts of it directly at the next wave of corrupted creatures.

Wiping out this wave just as easily as the last one.

So this is the full power of the Quantum Reaper…

A smile spreads across his face. One filled with numerous emotions. Far too many to count.

But one emotion prevalent amongst them is clear.

The beginnings of worship.

There can simply be no other way for a mortal to look upon one so powerful. One with power far beyond what they could even dream of.

Thus beginning the first dawn of the Followers of the Reaper.
