If work doesn't do it, time to throw shit on the fan.

After getting back to the dungeon and getting Chisaki, the princess from the place that looks exactly like japan, introduced to her new living and working enviroment at te ministry of culture, Aki immediately went away and used one of his portal options. Right besides his core.

"I'm tired. So very tired." Aki muttered while his core shinned and groanned, the liquid mana stopped flowing and the ground started to crack.

[Congratulations, pain resistance has reached level 10.]

[WARNING! Dimentional breach with high level of danger detected inside of your territory. Please, contact your system handler at the earliest notice.]

*Ring... Ring... Ring... Cacha* "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?"

"Getting a magical expresso." Answered Aki with a serious tone.

"Fuck you! Don't get in there before I, OI! I will ban you if you turn the call off, you hear?!" Screamed Alice as she rushed over hundreds of formularies and prepared to decend.

"I hear you, i hear you. Just let me fight something actually interesting already! There's a freaking gigantic space ell right in front of me! You're asking too much for me not to atract it's attention!"

"Perverted! Degenerate! How can getting into a brawn against a arch-manaray get you like that! I'm going, just two more minutes, this is a lot of paperwork!"

"Wait, paperwork, you mean the emergency hasn't been activated yet?"

"Yeah, you... DON'T YOU DARE..." She tried to say something, but Aki had already jumped through the portal.

[Attention! You have entered an area not reclaimed by the system! Any notification will have an hour long delay]

Aki gagged as if he couldn't breath as blue lines started to cross his body. The moment they started turning purple, Aki smilled a predatory grin and closed his eyes.

A metalic skin tone appeared, turning silver barely a minute in. Runes started to be etched on his skin dozens at a time. Spikes grew in his knuckles and sharp fins adorned his arms, legs and spine. When Aki finally reached three meters tall, he opened his eyes, all four of them. All of them were completely white, but showed traces of slowly becoming pink. Opening his jagged mouth, Aki bit the air with his three rows of jagged teeth, some were like the ones of a crocodile and some were like those of a shark. He really liked to do that.

"Now for the gran finale." Said his distorted voice.

His hair was tinged black, actually not representing any function other than aesthetic, and black, ten meter long angel wings appeared in his back. Each feather and plume was as dark as crow with the tip showing a white nascent moon at the outside, and black with shining dots like the night sky on the inside.

Instead of imediatly charging at the lazily floating creature like he wanted too, Aki instead bent back and folded his wings before doing a deep roar.

It started like an angry beast and ended in a death screech. Not long after he was answered by a cacophony of indistinguishable sounds coming from multiple sources, including the giant ell with a chinese mustache, who was actually aproaching him at a speed many times greater than sound. Though that wasn't so noticeable since they were in a void filled space with some floating islands of bare rock surrounded by rivers of mana.

If you still haven't noticed, Aki opened a portal to the arcanum, the realm of magic, ether and mana. Just the amount of mana in the "air" almost killed Aki. A perfect conductor of mana with a great internal reservoir.

Just these modifications on the avatar costed more than 500k of mana, you know? But Aki didn't used his phisical reserve in the dungeon and is already topped off again.

Flapping his newly grown wings, Aki jumped right into the overgrow fish. A dozen of purplish beams and hundreds of bolts were launched at him before he even got close. Rolling and dodging in the air was certainly vastly more dificult for him, but even when the bolts started to cause dents in his armor like hide, Aki just smiled as they came back almost at the same time and the runes started to glow a calming light blue. Though Aki could certainly tank the bolts, he could also feel that he'd die very quickly against the non stop beams, so he mainly focused on dodging those.

Whenever he was hit by one or more beam, his skin started glowing and melted away before coming back, only leaving black blood and his openings as proof of having been there. The floating serpent noticed it getting close, sure, but it was a king. It would not feel fear of a random intruder.

Aki was almost reaching his target, when the thing suddenly snapped it's jaw at him with a speed even faster than when approaching. Nothing could be done. There was no escaping those phantasmal teeth and endless abyss.

When the snake closed it's maw over the strange intruder's left flank, it felt cold blood and metal fill it's gullet. It didn't think anything of that though. All intruders were diferent, but they all tasted terrible. The king of the mana reefs wasn't a inexperienced brat though, it wouldn't eat another of those things. Instead it used it's whiskers to hold the intruder and charge it's breath attack.

"I'm loving this!" Said Aki with a maniacal grin before his remaining wing acted like an arm and actually pierced the snout of the giant ell and several feather's turned into barbed hooks, holding the snout shut while the thing trashed and tried to break free, letting more and more energy flow out of it. "I see you're not used to being the bottom one!" Aki made a terrible joke while using his left arm, the one inside the ell, to take out a great mass of water inside of it, bloating the ell. "I'm not done yet though." He said with a very rapey smile and a small magic circle formed inside the water, right beside the acumulating breath attack. Then Aki snaped his fingers and it was like a whole missile exploded inside the ell.

There was no blood or gore, the lower jaw just completely dissapeared and several black spots started appearing in the pink eyes of the ell. It was already in so much pain that it didn't mind simply throwing away more of it's "Flesh" to get Aki away from it's face.

Feeling it's life force sliping away much more quickly than it should from such an injure, the king of the reef did an unintelligible roar again and the already approaching lampreys and ells started going faster, the closest ones being striked down by the big ell so it could regenerate it's spent energy.

"Good thing i didn't call the mob for nothing." Mumbled Aki as he got away from the hole he'd made in one of the floating rock platforms, the bitten off flesh already grown back. "Now let's start the main course!" Aki screamed in delight as he teleported besides the approaching ell's side and punched it with his spiked knuckles, causing a much bigger impact than normal phisics would suggest possible.

Then he kicked it and launched it up before having his leg cut off by a ray of red, pure arcane detruction. Never losing his smile, Aki kept hitting the thing with several levels of augmentation and sometimes magic, exchanging each blow for more flesh of his own. Each time the ell would seem slightly tired or acumulated too many black spots, Aki would throw it at a crowd of several lampreys and watch as it recovered itself, which luckly didn't take more than a couple of seconds. At some point Aki didn't want to keep waiting during those akward moments though, so he started casting red beams of arcane himself.

The thing was supposed to heal itself with it, but it actually just felt tons of pain against it. Like it's core was being corrupted and changed. Aki was about to ask if it didn't like his mix, but instead he focused on the battle as an amalgamation of tentacles, maws, eyes and flesh suddently appeared out of nowhere.

It was disgusting even for him, and if not for his already fucked up mind, he'd have died there and then. The creature could make a normal man crazy, sure, but it should have only caused a headache to someone at level 200, nevermind Aki. No, that wasn't what caused him to have a complicated look on his face.

"The blind idiot is way uglier than i thought possible, and certainly doesn't look a bit like 343. I got to give it to those guys for being near him for so long." Said Aki as he absent mindedly starred at the top of Yggdrasil. Being in an open space like the arcanum, it was a given that it was visible from there. He was slowly being corrupted as well, but the eldritch abomination's insides were completely blocking the view and sound after a bit though.

Noticing what was happening, Aki quickly started to kill the thing in front of him. Not with death, arcane, soul, mind or anything else, but with void and time magic. Those were the only attributes he had that had a chance at actually killing this thing after all. As everything in the thing's circunference slowed down continuosly, one could observe it trying to twitch some tentacle or other, but it slowly was completely frozen in relation to the things around it. Aki wasn't going to let the ell slip away while doing something so complex though, so he sent three big void spikes and pined it down, hearing only it's scream before continuing to kill the eldritch.

The process wasn't really remarcable though. It was simply consumed by a cloud darker than black

and slowly stopped existing completely.

"And that's why i don't train void. It's so op it takes the fun out of anything, nevermind that i'm using strategy instead of brute power to kill these things, so the aplication of strength nescessary for the same fun while not ussing it would equal something a dozen times stronger than an average god. Haa... I guess i should be happy for being able to play for ten or so hours straight since now I'm technically an adult an young enterpraur, or whatever the word is. Well, you're with me now." Aki said before lightly punching the head of the ell. A cracking sound filled everything in a great distance, like the space itself was breaking. The king of this reef had died.

Than the rumbling stopped.

Aki was already proficient enough to reconstruct a cracked soul ussing his imprint quite quickly thanks to the ten or so D1s.

[Congratulations, for dominating the king of this area and expanding your influence through it, you have reclaimed land for the system in the arcanum! Through sheer experience and ingenuity, you have discovered how to expand your influence through various planes, two talents have become irelevants and any information not known to the user about them will be transfered at user discretion.]

And as Aki grinned, he was punched into the cosmos. He even made eye contact with a strange ginger slowly walking the trunk of the tree of life, who smiled and waved him over. Aki's eyes bled, a lot, but he still mouthed 'Weren't you supposed to be ugly? You look better than a god!'

The man's tail started waggling a bit he laughed a bit before waving his hand and sending Aki back to where he was before.

"Do you have any idea how much work you just gave me?" Asked a very pissed and still expression-less Alice to Aki, who was floating some centimeters above the rock the portal stood in.

"Not really. Was more worried about the beings around here and how they would be when i jumped, but damn is that god of madness and furry one hot piece of temptation! His tail looked so fluffy too!" Exclaimed Aki as he got more 'normal' and straightened himself.

"It's fucking Ratatosk. Don't go there. I WILL kill you before that." Said the young angel with a small twitch of her brown. "Anyways, you now have rights over this area of the arcanum, and you are expected to develop it, otherwise you will die."

"Yeah, yeah, no need to say it like you will be the one doing it, i knew perfectly well what would happen before choosing to open the portal here. At least i didn't open it in the actual void, besides Yggdrasyl or even directly at the abyss."

"Because any of those options would have me actually killing you before the portal settled. Now, go and make it so you won't explode from too much mana and take the whole world with you." Alice replied in a monotome and waved him away.

"Relax, I will just open a portal to hell and get credits with the company i said before!" Aki nonchalantly said before going through the portal to the core room.

"One month, no, one week. I will only protect these portals for one week, and them no more system intervencion." Alice could feel a fein popping in her forehead as she thought of the work to do with two direferent reclamation cites and the maintance of two clones in diferent realms.

Aki simply smiled at her and oppened the portal.
