Creation Of All Things-Chapter 78: Loot-Wraith

[Congratulations, Host. You have successfully awakened to Tier 1.]

[+5000 to all stats.]

[Creation of All Things has leveled up.]

[You are on the path to becoming a Monarch.]

Adam's eyes flickered as he read the last part again.

[You are on the path to becoming a Monarch.]

His brows furrowed. "Monarch? Since when?"

The system's response was immediate.

[Since you gained your ability.]

Adam frowned. "Why?"

[Simply put, those with power like yours are often called 'Children of the Universe.' When they reach a certain level of strength and recognition, they are acknowledged as Monarchs.]

Adam's fingers tapped against his armrest. "So, there are others like me?"

[No. Your ability is unique to you. Just like your father's.]

Adam's expression hardened. "My father?"

[Yes. His ability is called 'One With The Universe.' He, too, is a Child of the Universe—a favored one, just like you. The same goes for Wraith… and the Monarch of Destruction, Xal'Zyrath, who was stripped of his power after choosing the wrong path.]

Adam sat up straight, staring at the glowing system messages.

"So my father is also on the path to becoming a Monarch?"

[Yes. He already has the strength for it. He just needs to step beyond this planet, make his name known across the universe, and gain the recognition of the cosmos itself.]

Adam exhaled, leaning back in his chair. His gaze drifted to the window, where the night sky stretched endlessly, stars blinking like distant eyes.

"A whole universe out there, huh? Powerful beings just waiting beyond the horizon..."

His fingers traced the edge of the table.

For a moment, he imagined it—standing at the pinnacle, challenging the strongest, carving his legend into the stars.

But then—

He let out a soft chuckle.

"Tempting."

He stretched, rolling his shoulders before reclining fully.

"But I like it here. The peace. The quiet."

His eyelids grew heavy.

"Yeah… this is nice."

Adam cracked his neck, still lounging in his chair, then waved his hand. "Alright, show me my loot."

The system responded immediately.

[Processing rewards…]

[Displaying acquired loot from battle with Wraith.]

A translucent golden screen appeared before him, and one by one, the rewards materialized. His eyes flickered as he scanned through them.

1. Divine Royal Vampire Bloodline

[A bloodline of the highest tier of vampires, descended from the progenitors of the night. Grants immense regeneration, enhanced physical and mental abilities, mastery over blood and darkness, and the power to command lower vampires. Unlocking this bloodline may lead to evolution into a higher being.]

Adam's brows raised. "A vampire bloodline, huh? And not just any vampire—a Divine Royal? Sounds fancy." He tapped his fingers on his armrest. "I don't really need it, but… it could be fun."

The system continued.

2. Abyssal Heart Core

[A crystallized core of abyssal energy. It pulsates with chaotic power and can be absorbed to enhance the user's connection to the void. It has properties unknown even to the system.]

Adam tilted his head. "Abyssal, huh? Wraith really had some nasty energy in him. I'm guessing this is tied to his transformation?"

[Correct. The Abyssal Heart Core was a significant source of his power. It can strengthen one's affinity with darkness, chaos, and entropy.]

Adam smirked. "That's probably dangerous in the wrong hands… lucky me."

3. Shadow Sovereign's Mantle

[A living cloak of shadows that shifts and moves with the user's will. It grants near-absolute stealth, enhanced speed, and the ability to travel through darkness itself. Born from Wraith's unique connection to the void, this cloak will only recognize a being of equal or greater power.]

A black cloak materialized briefly before vanishing into his inventory. Adam's fingers twitched slightly. "Now this? This is cool." He grinned. "Traveling through shadows? Stealth? I could mess with people so bad with this."

4. Monarch's Authority (Locked)

[A fragment of the power possessed by those on the path of Monarchy. It is currently incomplete and will only awaken when the user fully embraces their existence as a Monarch. Once unlocked, it will allow the user to exert their will over lesser beings, bending reality itself to their command.]

Adam let out a low whistle. "Monarch's Authority, huh? Guess I wasn't the only one close to something big." He stretched his arms behind his head. "Too bad it's locked. I'd love to see what this thing can do."

5. ??? (Simply: Wraith)

[A unique reward. Wraith himself.]

Adam blinked. "…What?"

The system didn't elaborate.

[No further information available. Open or ignore.]

He stared at the screen, one brow twitching. "Hold on, hold on. What do you mean Wraith himself? You mean… like a skill? A summon? His memories? His corpse?"

No answer.

He leaned back, rubbing his temples. "Damn it, Wraith, what the hell did you turn into?"

His fingers hovered over the screen.

Tempting.

Very tempting.

But—

He smirked and closed the interface. "I'll deal with that later."

For now—

He had some thinking to do.

Adam shut the interface with a flick of his fingers and let out a long breath.

"Damn… Wraith, you really left me with some crazy shit."

He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling, his mind drifting.

A Divine Royal Vampire Bloodline? A Shadow Cloak that could let him walk through darkness? An Abyssal Core that even the system didn't fully understand?

And then—

Wraith.

Just sitting there in his inventory, waiting.

He ran a hand through his hair, letting the silence settle.

The air in the room felt heavier now. Maybe it was the weight of what he had just gained, or maybe it was just… everything catching up to him.

Tch. Whatever.

He kicked his feet up onto the table and pulled out a cold can of soda from thin air. With a soft pshhht, he cracked it open and took a long sip.

His mind flickered back to the fight.

Wraith had been strong—stronger than Adam expected. He had pushed him, forced him to go further than he had in a long time. And yet, even at his peak, Wraith had lost.

And now, he was just… part of the loot?

The guy had his whole villain monologue, only to end up as ??? in Adam's inventory.

That was kinda funny.

Adam smirked.

Then, with a stretch, he stood up, tossing the empty can into a swirling void that swallowed it whole.

"Alright, I should—"
