I can’t help but grin at the sight of my rewards. Because there are a lot of them.

Reward Calculation is now Complete

Separate Domain Rewards are as follows:

Time Domain Reward – Time Reversal Orb – Allows the user to reverse time once in a small region. The amount of time reversed will depend on the power of the users in the region in which time is reversing. This item can only be used once.

Death Domain Reward – Death Block – Allows the user to block one attack that would kill them. This item can only be used once.

Order Domain Reward – Court of Order – Allows the user to summon the Court of Order, forcing all beings in the court to the same level while within the bounds of the court. This item can only be used once.

Sin Domain Reward – Pill of Sins – Allows the user to increase all their stats by 500% for three minutes at the price of their level dropping once per second over the course of the pill’s effect duration.

Life Domain Reward – Branch of Life – Allows the user to fully restore their body to peak condition once before the branch crumbles.

Virtue Domain Reward – Code of Virtue – Allows the user to summon a ring around themselves, making all users within the ring take 0.01% extra damage from all attacks for every being of their own species that they have slain. This item can only be used once.

Void Domain Reward – Void Core – This core absorbs mana from attacks until it shatters and is made directly from the mana of Nyx herself.

Magic Domain Reward – Lesson Card – Allows the user to teleport straight to the Tower of Magic to take a single lesson in magic with the Primordial of Magic herself.

Space Domain Reward – Spatial Lock – Allows the user to lock down space in a region around them once, making it impossible for anything to escape.

Chaos Domain Rewards – Monster Control Orb – Allows the user to control one hundred monsters around them once for a period of half an hour.

Tiger’s Orb of Ice – Grants the holder a 30% increase in the damage of any attack using ice mana made by the holder.

The rewards are quite a few in number. Which definitely explains why so many people attempt the System Tower.

Other than the public ranking, that is.

“Those are just the basic rewards,” Chaos comments, sounding amused.

Yeah, thought so. After all, it said ‘separate’ in the rewards part.

The next notification appears soon after I finish reading the first.

Points Rewards are as follows:

Elixir of the Primordials – An elixir made together by all ten Primordials as a reward for claiming the top place on the all-time System Tower leaderboards. Drinking this elixir will grant an instant and permanent 25% boost to all of the user’s stats.

System Guide – A personalized guide made by the Primordials of Chaos, Order, Magic, Time, and Void for the top ranker of the current era’s System Tower leaderboards. This guide may assist the top ranker in a variety of different manners, including but not limited to System related matters or even management of the top ranker’s properties and assets.

Pass of the Ranker – A free pass made by the Primordials for the top ten on the all-time System Tower leaderboards that grants the ranker permission to skip a total of one hundred Official System Events throughout their lifetime with no punishment or repercussions of any kind.

Ring of the Ranker – A ring made by the Primordials of Chaos, Order, Magic, Space, and Time for the top ten on the current era System Tower leaderboards that grants the wearer the power to leave any Domain without finishing any objectives from the Domain’s mission.

…

Okay, those are some nice items.

Although the items that come after those first four aren’t all that interesting.

“The first two are for the first ranked user on both leaderboards, and the second two are for those in the top ten of both leaderboards,” Chaos says as I look at the various items appearing in the air in front of me. “So all four of them are of vastly superior quality to the rest.”

Understandable.

Without hesitation, I grab the pass and put it somewhere safe, following which I put the ring on and grab the elixir. But right when I’m about to drink it, I pause. Then I put the elixir away in my storage ring.

“Good choice,” Chaos’ words echo in my head. “Percentage boost elixirs like that one are most beneficial when used at a higher level. Where they will give you far more stat points than they would now. And it’s not like this elixir will ever expire. Not when Chronos was involved with its creation.”

That’s good to know. Albeit slightly worrying that it implies elixirs can technically expire if he isn’t involved.

“Most elixirs last for thousands of years, so that isn’t a major worry,” Chaos adds, making me relax a little again.

I turn around as a portal appears in front of me. With someone who looks like a human but certainly doesn’t act nor feel like one walking out of said portal.

He has a very clean look and is wearing a tuxedo, with his hair slicked back and an empty expression on his face. And the moment he sees me, he bows with one arm held out in front of him across his stomach with his hand pointed upwards.

“I express my sincere congratulations for the Princess of Chaos’ conquering of the System Tower, and wish to serve under your command for all of eternity if you would have me,” the guy who I’m guessing is the System Guide says before just staying bowed.

Silence fills the top of the tower for a few seconds as the Tiger of Eternal Snow begins playing with Leo. Making the only sound being that of Leo swatting at the Tiger’s hands with his little paws whenever the Tiger tries petting Leo.

“He’s waiting for your response,” Chaos eventually explains, making me blink before stepping forwards.

“Uh, sure,” I eventually mutter. “Wait, can you manage my territory for me? And deal with politics with the rest of Val?”

The System Guide raises his head and says, “Affirmative. That is possible.”

A bright smile spreads across my face as I state, “Great! From now on, you’re in charge of dealing with other people for me!”

“Understood,” the System Guide responds with a nod.

“The Guide can also help you manage your Skill Trees to organize them,” Chaos adds, making my smile grow even wider.

I focus on the System Guide again and ask, “Can you do that?”

The Guide nods his head and declares, “I can manage all System related activities to the one I am assigned to. This includes organizing Skill Trees, managing System messages and notifications, managing messages and emails from other users, and any other System related mechanics. I am also capable of obtaining proxy lord status for your Spires should you wish to give it to me, granting me permission to do everything you are capable of doing to the Spires other than giving them up and destroying them.”

“Sounds good,” I say while glancing at Leo and the Tiger of Eternal Snow that’s playing with him still. Or, rather than playing, it’s more like he’s still trying and failing to pet the little cub.

While the sight is quite amusing to watch, I think now is a good time to leave the System Tower.

So I call out, “Leo, we’re leaving,” making the little cub ditch the Tiger of Eternal Snow without a second thought to jump into my arms. Then I walk over towards the portal that appears in front of the Unique Monster’s throne.

I look out across the peak of the System Tower for several more seconds, just taking the place in for a moment. And after I finish that, I turn to the portal and take a step through it.

Making me appear once more back in the Tower of Chaos. Where I already see quite a few people from the Tower waiting for me. No doubt having known I would be leaving it soon.

And that marks one more Unique Domain completed.
