2026-06-29 00:34:42Xander remained kneeling on the bedroom floor, surrounded by chunks of black flesh and viscous blood that still steamed as it touched the floor. The decapitated head of the Blood Leech Hound was propped against the wall, its red eyes now opaque and lifeless. The tentacle that had almost sucked the life out of him lay limp like a dead snake.
His breathing was still irregular. His heart pounded against his ribs, but it wasn't just fear anymore. There was something more. A warm, vibrant energy pulsing through his veins. He looked at his own hands. His once thin, pale fingers now had bulging veins. His forearms showed muscles that definitely hadn't existed ten minutes ago.
"I... I killed it," he murmured, his voice hoarse. "I killed a level 8 thing."
A low, nervous laugh escaped his throat. He stood slowly, feeling his body respond with a lightness and strength bordering on the absurd. The silver sword with blue veins was still firmly in his right hand, as if it were a natural extension of himself.
That's when reality hit him again.
Outside, the world was still ending. Distant screams echoed through the building's corridors. Something heavy dragged itself along the floor below. Another guttural howl came from somewhere above—perhaps from the 9th or 10th floor.
Xander swallowed hard.
"Status."
The translucent blue screen materialized before him instantly, sharper and more elegant than any game interface he had ever seen. However, the first thing that appeared wasn't his current attributes. A secondary window, gray with red borders, opened first.
[Omniscient Analysis – Base Mode: Original Human Profile]

Base Attributes (before the Nexus Administrator System):
Strength: 4
Agility: 6
Vitality: 5
- Mana: 12
- Intelligence: 19
- Perception: 11
- Willpower: 14
Xander felt a bitter taste in his mouth as he read those numbers.
"Pathetic…" he whispered. "I was literally a walking failure. Strength 4? Vitality 5? My God, I was weaker than most of the starting NPCs."
He remembered all the times he had been teased at school, all the times he had avoided confrontations, all the nights he had consoled himself by reading stories of protagonists who started out weak and became gods. He had always imagined that, if given the chance, he would do things differently.
Now the opportunity was there. And the numbers confirmed exactly how miserable he had been.
The gray screen disappeared and the main screen expanded, now with a royal blue background and subtle gold details.

Limitations: Maximum of 1 subordinate per 10 Administrator levels. Quality of the granted System depends on the user's loyalty, compatibility, and authority.
Xander read the last ability twice. His eyes widened.
"Grant System… I can give Systems to other people?" He laughed, but the sound came out cold. "This isn't just a regular System Apocalypse. This is… administration. I'm not just a player. I'm the guy who can create other players."
He felt a shiver run down his spine. The potential was insane. If he could gather loyal people, he could build his own force. An army. An empire.
But the skill was locked. Level 10. He needed to level up fast.
Xander immediately tested the first ability.
"Omniscient Analysis: Blood Leech Hound."
A new window opened beside the corpse:
[Blood Leech Hound – Level 8 (Dead)]

Weaknesses: Neck (vital point, 700% damage), fire, holy light (currently nonexistent).
Possible drops: Lower Blood Crystal (30%), Leech Tendon (15%), Parasite Core (5%).
Description: Low-level creature used by the Harvesters to clear "useless biomass" (weak humans). Extremely sensitive to the smell of fear.
"So you can smell fear…" Xander murmured, looking at his own blood-stained body. "Too bad I'm not afraid anymore."
He approached and poked the corpse with his sword. Two items fell to the ground with a metallic sound.
[You obtained: Inferior Blood Crystal x 2]
[You earned: 45 Nexus Points]
Nexus Points… the system's currency. Good.
He put the crystals in the pocket of his ripped jeans and opened the Nexus Shop.
[Nexus Shop – Level 1]
Available items:
- Potion of Light Recovery (Heals 30% of wounds) – 30 NP
- Complete Recovery Potion (Administrator) – 120 NP (stock: 2 remaining from the starter pack)

- Extra Inventory Slot (10 slots) – 200 NP
Basic Territory Map (100m radius) – 60 NP
Xander closed the shop with a sigh. He only had 45 NP left. Almost nothing. He would need to hunt more.
It was then that a new golden screen appeared, shining with urgency.
[Daily Administrator Mission – Day 1]

Xander felt his blood run cold for a second.

His allies' wounds healed in seconds.For nearly fifteen minutes, they dominated the fight.The Tyrant roared in fury as parts of its body were severed and purified by Nexus energy.

Chapter 29: Zone Boss – “Devourer Tyrant” (Level 55) Part 1
The Southern District now belonged to the Nexus.Four days after the territorial expansion, the new domain pulsed with frenetic activity. Nearly 400 loyalists worked day and night to integrate the new areas—fortifying secondary walls, converting buildings into Safe Zones, and training in the multiple Basic Training Rooms Xander had created. The title "Lord of the Southern Dominion" granted him a steady increase in Authority Points, and the territory responded to his will like a living organism.But not everything was peaceful.In the heart of the old Southern Industrial Park, a dimensional anomaly had manifested two days after the conquest. A gigantic black-and-purple vortex swirled slowly above an abandoned factory, releasing an oppressive aura that drove even common monsters to flee the region.Xander Voss stood in the makeshift command center—the former city hall building—surrounded by his three closest vassals and his general.He wore only black tactical trousers; his bare torso o
Chapter 28: Conquest of the South District – Part 2
Late in the afternoon, as the final Anchor was planted in the center of the South District — right atop the old City Hall building — a colossal screen appeared solely for Xander, glowing with intense golden light:[Nexus Territory successfully expanded!]Current area: 7.8 km² (South District fully claimed)Current loyal population: 387 (mass recruitment initiated)[Title “Lord of the First Domain” evolving…]New Title: Lord of the Southern Dominion (Stage II)Updated effects:+45% authority over all humans within the territory (previously +25%)+30% to all attributes while within one's own domain+50% efficiency in creating Territorial Laws and QuestsUnlocked “Territorial Decree” (once a week, can impose an absolute law across the entire territory)The larger the controlled territory, the stronger the title becomes.

Chapter 27: Conquest of the South District – Part 1
The dawn following the battle against the Void horde painted the sky a blood-red that felt like an omen. Xander Voss stood at the highest point of the southern wall, the cold July wind buffeting his bare torso. His body had become something almost mythic—1.96 meters of dense muscle, shoulders as broad as a titan’s, an abdomen sculpted like plates of living steel, and veins pulsing with visible dimensional energy. The ethereal crown of the System Sovereign slowly rotated above his head, casting golden reflections into his blue-gold eyes.Level 37.The victory against the Void General had been more than just a battle; it had been a statement. His 94 loyal followers now looked upon him as a living god. The Defensive Quest had left permanent marks—the temporary title "Sovereign’s Defender" still granted a +15% boost to all attributes for every participant.Lira, Elena, and Sylas approached from behind. The three women formed a dangerous, magnetic triangle around him.Lira wore her light a
Chapter 26: The Level 30 Horde – Part 2
The horde arrived twenty-seven minutes later.They came like a black avalanche.Thousands of creatures corrupted by Void energy—wolves with hides that resembled holes in space, giant insects with light-warping carapaces, and deformed humanoids that had once been people. At the center, mounted on a colossal six-legged beast known as an Abyssal Behemoth, sat the Void General.The creature stood nearly five meters tall, clad in organic black armor that pulsed like living flesh. A spear of pure, condensed darkness rested in its hand; its eyes were bottomless pits."SURRENDER THE SOVEREIGN!" the General thundered, his voice echoing like a thousand overlapping tones. "THIS WORLD SHALL BE HARVESTED!"The first wave crashed against the wall.The impact was cataclysmic.Monsters scrambled over one another, forming living ramps. The wall shuddered but held firm, bolstered by its runes. Archers and marksmen stationed atop the ramparts fired ceaselessly. Lira was a whirlwind of action—each arrow,
Chapter 25: The Level 30 Horde – Part 1
The night over Nexus Territory was eerily silent.Xander Voss stood atop the southern wall, gazing into the darkness beyond the blue lights that marked the boundaries of his domain. The air held an oppressive weight, as if the world itself were holding its breath. His imposing physique—1.96 meters of dense muscle, bulging veins, and an overwhelming presence—was clad in black-and-gold armor freshly forged by Elena. The ethereal crown of the System Sovereign slowly rotated above his head, casting golden reflections in his eyes.Level 31.The past few days had been a time of consolidation. The territory now housed ninety-four loyal subjects following the arrival of seven more refugees fleeing the Iron Cross. The wall had been reinforced with additional runes. Marcus drilled the soldiers mercilessly. Lira expanded her network of scouts. Elena delved ever deeper into the secrets of the Parasite Queen’s Core.And Sylas "Ghost"... she had integrated herself like a blade honed in the darkness
