  A rather surprising notification appears in my vision as I finish the Life Domain. Right when I’m about to enter the next Domain.

  Huh?

  An alliance?

  I blink at that before staring at the notification for a few seconds. Then I eventually just shrug. Mostly because it’s actually not as surprising as I’d think.

  After all, Chronos helped give me a skill and all.

  The most surprising thing is that Chaos agreed.

  But I guess Chaos is the most unpredictable being in existence, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised by anything he does.

  Well, putting that aside, I’m getting used to these Domains.

  I’m halfway through the Domains at this point. Which means I have five left.

  And after reading the notification, I move onto the next Domain. Which is the Virtue Domain.

  A Domain that proves to be rather easy to clear, just like the Life Domain. Since it also has very little combat.

  But unlike the Life Domain, it does have some combat.

  It pretty much comes down to me making choices. And if my choice aligns with the Primordial of Virtue’s beliefs, then I pass the test without a battle and move on to the next location. But if I don’t pass the test, I have to fight.

  Over and over again until I reach the very end of the Domain.

  Then I move onto the next Domain.

  The Void Domain.

  Which is just a pitch black void filled with strange abominations. Pitch black creatures of scale, flesh, and with heads and other body parts just poking out of their bodies.

  Honestly, they’re really creepy, And the Domain itself requires me to just kill everything in the Domain.

  After dealing with that Domain, I move onto the next Domain of the System Tower.

  The eighth Domain of the System Tower, the Magic Domain.

  And that Domain ends up taking me a bit longer to complete. Mostly because it has a bunch of trials requiring me to advance my skill in mana manipulation to get through them.

  That said, the way the Domain is set up is rather advantageous for me. Since it requires I earn a certain number of points in the Domain to reach a perfect rating. And the points are earned by reaching certain milestones in my mana manipulation training.

  But every single mana manipulation that reaches those milestones gives points separately.

  So I end up perfectly passing the Domain by cheating a little and getting basic skill in mana manipulation for every type of magic I can find in the Domain. Which is a lot.

  Literally every monster in the Domain has a root skill for mana manipulation, and thanks to that I steal hundreds of mana manipulation skills and get each one to basic.

  All the way until I reach a perfect score in the Magic Domain.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Then the Space Domain follows after the Magic Domain. And that proves to be a lot easier now that I’ve gotten a lot more skill in mana manipulation.

  As for the Domain itself?

  It’s a maze. And one I’d like to forget.

  A shiver runs down my spine as I finally clear the stupid Space Domain, never wanting to ever even think about it again.

  My thoughts grind to a halt as I appear in the waiting room for the next Domain.

  The final Domain.

  Chaos’ Domain.

  I narrow my eyes at the Domain’s entrance before letting out a sigh. Then I go ahead and take a break in the waiting room to let my mana and Chaos Energy recover.

  And while they do that, I go ahead and search through my Skill Trees for different skills to purchase with the massive number of Skill Points I’ve wracked up over the course of the last several Domains.

  The choice for what to purchase isn’t a hard one though. Not when my current largest problem is my mana capacity.

  So I unlock the next magic branch skill from the Queen of Destruction Skill Tree for three thousand five hundred Skill Points.

  {Queen’s Spellcasting – UNIQUE SKILL – This skill increases the speed at which the Queen can form spells with mana.}

  Then I unlock the next magic branch skill from the Queen of Destruction Skill Tree for five thousand Skill Points.

  {Queen’s Magic – UNIQUE SKILL – This skill increases the power in every point of mana the Queen has. Making every spell and skill used and cast by the Queen stronger.}

  And after that I unlock the next magic branch skill for six thousand five hundred Skill Points.

  {Queen’s Overload – UNIQUE SKILL – This skill allows the Queen to overload a single spell with all of their remaining mana at once. However, doing this will make the Queen completely unable to use magic spells until their mana reaches maximum capacity again.}

  And finally, the skill I’m aiming for finally ends up next in my Tree.

  So I purchase it without hesitation for eight thousand Skill Points.

  {Queen’s Capacity – UNIQUE SKILL – This skill increases the Queen’s total mana by a factor of 2.}

  A grin spreads across my face as I check my status to see my mana capacity instantly doubling thanks to the skill.

  Yes!

  That took a lot of Skill Points to purchase.

  I glance at my currently remaining Skill Points.

  {You currently have 3412 Skill Points.}

  I purse my lips at that number before looking at the next two skills that branch off of Queen’s Capacity. Only to find the two ten thousand Skill Point costing skills to be pretty useless for me right now.

  Since both of them require me to be casting incredibly advanced spells that I am nowhere near able to cast right now.

  So I ignore them for now to focus on skills from other Skill Trees. But after searching for a little bit, I decide to hold off on purchasing any other skills.

  What with most of the good ones being expensive.

  Plus I’ve already got a lot of good new ones. Especially with my doubled mana capacity.

  And with my new training in mana manipulation from the Magic Domain, the other magic skills are good as well. With good timing to get them.

  After finishing up with my skill purchasing, I go ahead and wait out the rest of the time until my mana fully recovers. Then I finally stand up and enter the final Domain of the System Tower.

  The Chaos Domain.

  And the moment I do, I feel my mind spinning because of my surroundings.

  Surroundings that look so chaotic that I can’t tell what’s what.

  I seem to be in some sort of distorted space filled with stable and unstable platforms, rubble floating in the air, some large orbs that are like mini planets, and monsters for as far as the eye can see. Monsters of all kinds at that.

  And even the rubble, platforms, and mini planets are all made out of different material merged together.

  Rocks, sand, flesh, scales, minerals, metals, wood, and so on.

  With every bit merged as if it is supposed to be like that. Which looks disturbing.

  I feel a slight chill run down my spine as I look around the place. Meanwhile the usual message appears in my vision.

  Realm of Chaos

  You have entered the System Tower’s final Domain. The following objectives have been unlocked.

  Complete objective 1 or all of the objectives to conquer the final Domain.

  Complete 1 or more objectives to leave the final Domain.

  All objectives will give an unspecified number of points towards your final System Tower score.

  The Realm of Chaos has been altered thanks to the user’s current System Tower score already surpassing the required number for the True Boss.

  Objective 1: Kill the clone of Veldray Qual Ron, the System Tower Master and Tiger of Eternal Snow.

  Objective 2: Kill all monsters within the Realm of Chaos.

  Objective 3: Find the Jewel of Chaos.

  Objective 4: Survive for 72 hours within the Realm of Chaos.

  My eyes narrow at the message.

  It’s finally time.

  To face my next Unique Monster.
