Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Alexia

The woman just grasps at my hand on her throat while choaking and furiously trying to get out of my grip, rudely ignoring my greeting.

I narrow my eyes a little bit.

She could at least reply or nod her head back. Ignoring my greeting is just plain rude.

"Could you answer some of my questions?" I eventually ask her, deciding to ignore her rudeness for now. Even as I'm being shot at by people down in the castle below.

Not that any of their bullets are actually hitting me, what with them passing straight through my body.

The target continues flailing for a little while before eventually falling still and glaring at me. Nodding her head once as she does so.

"Great," I state with a nod before asking, "What's this about you tearing away at the boundaries of the universe into the void?"

Her eyes go wide with shock at that.

Then silence follows.

And more silence.

And still silence.

Except the people shooting and shouting at me from below. But even they eventually give up and start running the hell away instead after realizing they can't hurt me.

"If you don't answer I'm just gonna assume you're guilty of something bad and crush your throat," I bluntly state while beginning to tighten my grip a bit.

That immediately gets the selkie talking.

She goes on to talk about how she was trying to dig her way out of the Dimensional Block back into our universe but ended up almost breaking the dimensional walls into some pitch black abyss instead. With her assuming that she was digging in the wrong direction. And the sight of it ended up making her curious so she tried to dig further.

"The void should never be exposed to the mortal universe or the Dimensional Blocks," Zal says, sounding rather serious. "It could lead to the end of half of whichever Dimensional Block they're in before I'm able to seal the hole up."

Ah.

So it's a bad thing after all.

I crush her throat before dropping the corpse into the icy water below as I get a notification from the System.
