2026-06-29 00:43:08The soft blue light of the Safe Zone filled apartment 703 like a calm and comforting mist. Xander Voss slowly opened his eyes, feeling the comforting weight of the body beside him. Lira slept with her head resting on his chest, her red hair spread like liquid flames across her skin. Her arm rested possessively on his waist.
He hadn't touched her intimately yet. It wasn't the right time. But the way she had snuggled up to him during the night—almost as if seeking protection and warmth at the same time—was a silent declaration. She belonged to him now.
Xander raised his left hand and opened his status screen with a thought.

Xander stopped at the last line. The abilitySystem Authority: SuppressIt had appeared during the night, shortly after he reached level 14. He hadn't tested it yet. The description was cryptic:
System Authority: Suppress (Level 1)

On humans, it can reduce attributes, block abilities, or impose "Local Laws" of obedience. Cost: 50 Authority Points per use. Base duration: 30 seconds. Range: 25 meters.A slow, cold smile formed on Xander's lips.
"Perfect," he murmured.
Lira stirred at the sound of his voice. Her green eyes opened, still heavy with sleep, and she smiled when she saw him. There was a mixture of admiration and desire in her gaze.
"Good morning… Administrator," she whispered, her voice hoarse. She rose slightly, her defined body pressing against his. "Are you already planning your day?"
"Always," he replied, running his fingers possessively through her red hair. "Today we reclaim the territory. The main mission appeared while you were sleeping."
As if waiting for the signal, a magnificent golden screen materialized in the center of the room, visible to both of them.

Xander read the mission calmly. Lira, beside him, widened her eyes.
— 500 meters… That includes the entire block, the convenience store, the small park, and part of the main avenue. It's going to be dangerous.
"Go ahead," Xander agreed, standing up. His body was now visibly athletic, broad shoulders, defined muscles, and a posture that conveyed natural command. "So let's get ready."
He opened the Nexus Shop and spent 800 NP on useful items:
4 Full Recovery Potions (Administrator)
1 Advanced Territorial Map (500m radius)
2 Reinforced Iron Longswords (for civilians)
1 Basic Compound Bow + 50 quality arrows (reinforcement for Lyre)
The two surviving civilians—the middle-aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. Park—were summoned. They were visibly frightened, but obedient. Xander equipped them and gave them clear orders:
"You stay in the rear. Carry supplies and watch the flanks. If you disobey or panic, I myself will hand you over to the monsters. Understood?"
They both nodded quickly.
They left the building at 9:17 a.m. The sun was shining brightly, but the sky remained stained by three distant purple portals. The air smelled of smoke and death.
The Territorial Map showed several weak red spots — small groups of level 5-9 monsters scattered throughout the streets and inside shops. Nothing that posed a significant threat to Xander at level 14.
For the next three hours, they hunted systematically.
Xander led like a predator. Every monster that appeared was analyzed, marked, and destroyed with brutal efficiency. Lira danced around him with her new bow, firing Mana Arrows that exploded in blue light. The Parks served as support, carrying blood crystals and dropped items.
Gradually, the 500-meter radius was being cleared. Xander felt the energy of the territory responding to him. The more monsters fell, the stronger the feeling became.posse.
When they arrived at the small park in the center of the target area—a green space now transformed into a graveyard of burned-out cars and bodies—Xander planted theNexus Anchor.
It was a small obelisk of dark blue crystal, pulsating with energy. As soon as it touched the ground, luminous roots spread across the ground in a radius of tens of meters.
[Nexus Territory in the process of being activated…]
[Progress: 43%]It was at that moment that the problem appeared.

He activated Nexus Domain to its greatest extent yet—250 meters. Within the domain, the laws of reality bent violently in his favor. Tentacles were crushed by inverted gravity. 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. Xander used Overwrite three times, temporarily rewriting its "Infinite Regeneration" to "Negative Regeneration."But the boss was a Zone Boss for a reason.In a moment of carelessness, as Xander moved in too close to strike the exposed core, the Devourer Tyrant activated Soul Consumption.A dimensional tentacle tore through Xander’s Domain as if it didn't exist and pierced his chest.The pain was indescribable.Xander felt his soul literally being sucked away.

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

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 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
