Part 36 — The Old Treasure Room (Aria, The Great Wind Spirit)
Even after the Genesis Reward settled—
Even after the world announcement echoed across Orario—
Floor 100… didn't disappear.
It remained.
Quiet.
Empty.
But not finished.
Astra floated slightly ahead this time, peeking around curiously. "…Okay… so like… this can't be it, right? There's always a hidden room or something."
Alice responded calmly. "Residual structure detected. Sub-layer exists within Floor 100."
Koneko cracked her neck slightly. "…So there is more."
Ais Wallenstein suddenly froze.
"…I feel something…"
Haruto looked at her. "…Where?"
She turned slowly. "…There…"
The air shifted.
A soft breeze—gentle, impossible.
A hidden door revealed itself.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ HIDDEN AREA DISCOVERED ]
Old Reward Room — Floor 100
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
They entered.
A peaceful chamber. Wind flowing like it had its own sky.
And at the center—
A figure of light and wind.
Ais's voice trembled. "…Mother…?"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ ENTITY DETECTED ]
Aria
Title: The Great Wind Spirit
Status: Sealed / Residual Existence
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The room fell silent.
"…Ais…"
The voice was gentle. Warm.
Ais stepped forward slowly. "…It's really you…"
They spoke.
A reunion long overdue.
Words soft.
Emotions quiet but deep.
Aria's hand touched Ais lightly. "…You've grown…"
Ais's voice shook. "…I've been looking for you…"
"I know…"
The moment held—fragile, fleeting.
Then Aria's form flickered.
"…My time here is limited…"
Ais's eyes widened. "…No—"
"…Listen to me…"
Her final words came softly. About strength. About moving forward. About not being alone.
A tear fell.
"…Yeah…"
Aria smiled. "…Then I can rest…"
Her form began to fade.
The wind slowed.
"…Mother—!"
Ais stepped forward—
But stopped.
Because she understood.
"…Be strong… Ais…"
Her form dissolved into light.
The wind faded.
Silence.
Complete silence.
Astra wiped her eye slightly. "…Okay… wasn't expecting that…"
Koneko looked away. "…Yeah…"
Saeko exhaled softly. "…A meaningful farewell…"
Asia smiled gently. "…She's at peace…"
Ais Wallenstein stood still.
Then—
Haruto moved.
"…No."
Everyone froze.
Astra blinked. "…Huh?"
Alice turned. "Action detected."
Haruto raised his hand.
The air—
Stopped.
Time—
Paused.
The fading light that was Aria—
Froze mid-dissolution.
"…You're not disappearing."
The Dungeon trembled.
Because this—
Wasn't normal interference.
This was override.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ GENESIS AUTHORITY: ACTIVE ]
Absolute Dominion Engaged
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Astra's eyes widened. "…Wait—he's rewriting it?!"
Alice confirmed. "Reality reconstruction in progress."
Haruto stepped forward.
Darkness and light merged around his hand—Shadow Monarch authority and Genesis power overlapping.
"…You're coming back."
The fading particles of Aria began reversing.
Reforming.
Rebuilding.
Not as a memory.
Not as a spirit fragment.
As a complete existence.
The wind surged violently—then stabilized.
A body formed.
Solid.
Real.
Alive.
Aria's eyes opened—fully.
For the first time—
Not fading.
Not breaking.
Existing.
The room went completely silent.
Ais's breath caught. "…Mother…?"
Aria looked at her hands—then at Ais—then at Haruto.
"…I… am… here…?"
Astra whispered. "…He just revived a Great Spirit…"
Alice corrected. "…Full restoration. No degradation."
Koneko stared. "…That's actually insane…"
Saeko smiled faintly. "…Divine."
Asia held her hands together. "…She's really back…"
Ais Wallenstein stepped forward—slowly this time.
"…You're… not leaving?"
Aria looked at her—warm, present.
"…No…"
Ais closed the distance instantly—hugging her.
Tightly.
For real this time.
No fading.
No illusion.
Just warmth.
The wind gently wrapped around them.
A moment—no one interrupted.
Then—
Aria turned.
Toward Haruto.
Her gaze deeper now. Clearer. Understanding.
"…You brought me back…"
Haruto didn't react much.
"…Yeah."
She stepped closer.
"…Then allow me to serve."
Astra blinked. "…Serve??"
Alice processed instantly. "Contract formation detected."
Wind gathered around Aria—refined, controlled, powerful.
"…From this moment…"
She knelt slightly.
"…I, Aria—The Great Wind Spirit—become your Familiar Spirit."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ CONTRACT COMPLETE ]
Aria
Status: Familiar Spirit — Bound to Haruto
Grade: Genesis Spirit
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The air exploded with power—then settled.
Astra held her head. "…Okay yeah… we just added a Great Spirit to the team…"
Koneko exhaled. "…Of course we did…"
Saeko smiled. "…A queen joins a king."
Asia nodded softly. "…She'll stay with us…"
Ais looked at Haruto—then at Aria.
No conflict.
No hesitation.
Only relief.
"…Thank you…"
Haruto turned slightly.
"…It's fine."
Simple.
But absolute.
And just like that—
The farewell that was meant to end in loss—
Became something else.
A reunion.
A new bond.
And a new power added to Haruto's side.
Because now—
The King of Absolute Destruction and Shadows…
Had gained the Great Wind Spirit.

Part 36 Ends HERE!

Part 37 — Timeskip: Floors 101–140 & The 10 Overpowered Pulls
Time moved.
Not slowly. Not normally.
Because after Floor 100—after reviving Aria and binding her as a Familiar Spirit—everything changed again.
The Dungeon evolved.
And so did Haruto.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ TIME SKIP INITIATED ]
Floors 101 → 140 Cleared
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
What once required effort—
Was now effortless.
Floor 101… 110… 120… 140—
All cleared.
Bosses erased.
Systems overridden.
Nothing resisted.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ FLOOR 140 CLEARED ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Astra stretched. "…Yeah okay… we're speedrunning existence at this point."
Alice: "Confirmed."
Koneko smirked. "…So we roll?"
Haruto: "…Do it."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SUMMON SYSTEM ACTIVATED ]
Cost: 10,000 Valis (10 Pull)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The circle formed—larger than ever.
But this time—
Something changed.
Astra blinked. "…Wait… this feels different…"
Alice confirmed. "Conversion detected."
Instead of summons—
The light collapsed inward.
Into Haruto.
"…Skills?" Astra whispered.
Yes.

Astra whispered. "…You're not even playing the same game anymore…"
Koneko exhaled. "…Game? This is just cheating."
Saeko smiled faintly. "…No… this is supremacy."
Asia held her hands together. "…It feels… limitless…"
Ais Wallenstein looked at Haruto.
"…We keep going."
Haruto turned.
Now—
With devouring, infinity, time control, shadows, weapons, strategy, and reality itself under his control—
The Dungeon ahead—
Was no longer something to conquer.
It was something he could rewrite.

Part 37 ends here
Part 38 starts here :D

Part 38 — The Black-Gold Dominion (Gate of Babylon + Shadow Monarch)
Floor 141 opened—
But Haruto didn't move.
Astra blinked. "…Okay… pause again?"
Alice tilted her head. "Dual activation intent detected."
Koneko smirked. "…He's about to do something crazy."
Haruto looked up—
Beyond the Dungeon.
Toward Orario.
"…Watch."
Astra grinned. "…Oh this is gonna be GOOD."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SKILL ACTIVATED ]
Gilgamesh
Gate of Babylon – Infinite Arsenal
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Golden fractures split open the sky behind him.
Hundreds—thousands—of portals formed.
Weapons gleamed inside them.
Ancient.
Absolute.
The air turned heavy.
But before they could fire—
Haruto spoke again.
"…Arise."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SKILL ACTIVATED ]
Sung Jin-Woo
Shadow Monarch Authority (Enhanced)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Darkness exploded outward.
The ground beneath them turned black.
Shadows surged—forming an endless army once more.
Knights.
Beasts.
Generals.
But this time—
They weren't just standing.
They were… waiting.
Astra froze. "…WAIT… don't tell me…"
Alice processed instantly. "Combination usage detected."
Koneko grinned. "…Oh this is gonna be broken."
Haruto raised his hand slightly.
"…Equip."
Silence.
Then—
Every shadow soldier looked up.
At the golden portals.
And the weapons—
Moved.
Not toward enemies—
Toward the shadows.
Astra lost it. "NO WAY—HE'S ARMING THE SHADOW ARMY?!"
Each shadow grabbed a weapon.
Swords.
Spears.
Legendary blades from the Gate of Babylon—
Now in the hands of an infinite army.
The air shook.
Because now—
It wasn't just an army.
It was an army of legends.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ COMBINATION SKILL ]
Black-Gold Dominion
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Ais Wallenstein watched silently. "…An army… with divine weapons…"
Koneko laughed. "…That's not fair anymore."
Saeko Busujima smiled faintly. "…A king truly commanding his domain."
Asia Argento whispered. "…It's overwhelming…"
Astra pointed forward. "…DO IT."
Haruto lowered his hand.
"…Clear it."
And the army moved.
Floor 141—
Didn't stand a chance.
Shadows surged forward—each one wielding a legendary weapon, cutting through enemies before they could even react.
Every strike—
Amplified.
Every attack—
Lethal.
Enemies weren't just defeated—
They were erased.
Elite monsters spawned—
Gone instantly.
Boss tried to form—
Destroyed before completion.
The floor didn't become a battlefield.
It became a massacre.
Controlled.
Perfect.
Absolute.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ FLOOR 141 CLEARED ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
But it didn't stop there.
The shadows kept moving.
Into Floor 142.
Astra stared. "…WAIT—THEY'RE AUTO-CLEARING??"
Alice confirmed. "Autonomous domination in progress."
Koneko smirked. "…Yeah… we're not even needed anymore."
Back above—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ LIVE BROADCAST — ACTIVE ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Orario saw everything.
Golden portals opened in the sky again—
But this time—
Black shadows rose from the ground below.
An army.
Armed with golden weapons.
The contrast—
Terrifying.
"…What is THAT?!"
"…An army…?!"
"…Those weapons… they're all legendary…!"
The shadows moved in perfect sync—eliminating every monster near the surface before they could even approach the city.
Controlled.
Organized.
Like a military force.
"…He's not just strong…"
"…He commands an army…"
"…No… that's a kingdom…"
Back in the Dungeon—
The shadows returned.
Weapons vanished back into golden portals.
Silence returned.
Astra slowly turned to Haruto. "…Okay… yeah… that's insane."
Alice: "Combination skill efficiency: Absolute."
Koneko cracked her neck. "…So what now?"
Ais Wallenstein looked ahead. "…We keep going."
Haruto turned slightly.
"…Yeah."
Because now—
It wasn't just power.
It wasn't just control.
It was domination on a scale the world had never seen.
An army of shadows—
Armed with legends.
And a king—
Who commanded both.
