Apocalypse Baby-Chapter 191: Jackpot

Ding!

The familiar sound rang in Alex’s ears.

More notifications flooded his vision.

[Apocalypse Baby kicking in]

[You have received additional 35 stat points.]

[You have received additional 7 powerstones.]

Alex barely blinked at those.

Then—the next line hit.

[You have received skill: Summon an Archfiend.]

His eyes sharpened.

Summon… an Archfiend?

Before he could even react, the description appeared.

[Summon Archfiend: This skill enables the user to summon a single archfiend: Varkos. This Archfiend is forged for battle. Moving like a streak of black lightning, it wields a crackling blade infused with electricity, cutting down foes with brutal efficiency. Once summoned, Var’Kos becomes an unstoppable enforcer, tearing through enemies with supernatural speed and overwhelming might. Unlike most summons, Var’Kos does not drain Alex’s energy, allowing them to fight at full force together. However, its presence is limited—Var’Kos can only remain for 30 minutes before vanishing back into the abyss, with a one-day cooldown before it can be called upon again. If heavily injured, it must recover in the abyss before being summoned anew.]

[You have received weapon: Soul Renderer]

[Soul Renderer: A cursed blade that feasts upon the essence of its victims, doing far more than simply cutting flesh—it harvests the attributes of those it slays. Forged from an unknown material, the weapon siphons an enemy’s strength, agility, intelligence, and vitality, gradually weakening them while empowering Alex. A mere graze steals a fraction of the target’s power, while a fatal blow renders their soul, permanently taking a significant portion of their abilities]

[You have received Passive Skill: Predator’’s Presence]

[Predator’s Presence: The User’s very presence exerts an oppressive aura that unsettles those around him, causing weaker opponents to hesitate, flinch, or even flee before a fight begins. In combat, his attacks feel heavier, shaking the confidence of his foes and making them second-guess their moves. This ability also gives the user a slight boost in charisma and intimidation, making negotiations and confrontations more favorable in his favor. However, its effectiveness is limited—undead, machines, and mindless beasts remain unaffected, and strong-willed or truly powerful enemies can resist its influence entirely]

[You have received an additional 222500 tutorial points]

Alex’s eyes widened.

Another skill. Another weapon.

And not just any weapon—Soul Renderer.

The name alone sent a thrill down his spine.

Whoever or whatever this blade touched wouldn’t stand a chance.

It was a cursed blade that feasted upon the essence of its victims, weakening them with every strike.

Strength? Agility? Intelligence? Vitality?

Nom nom nom!

Little by little, their power would drain away, making them slower, weaker, and more vulnerable—while Alex only got stronger.

This weapon didn’t just kill.

It turned every battle into a slow, inescapable nightmare.

Who would enjoy fighting someone who stole their strength mid-battle?

Who could survive when every wound made them less than they were before?

Then, the skill:

[Summon Archfiend.]

Alex’s breath caught.

Archfiend.

He remembered the word from facing Varkos in the nightmare.

And right now?

He could summon the same Varkos.

The Varkos, his clone, had to gang up on him just to kill.

That unrelenting, monstrous summon from the nightmare.

And now?

Varkos now belonged to him.

Bound by the skill, the archfiend was his servant, forced to obey every order.

That was… pretty damn amazing.

But would he even use it?

Probably not.

Alex preferred his clones—they were extensions of himself, not just some summoned creature.

They thought like him. Fought like him.

Varkos? No matter how powerful, was still separate.

And Alex? He was a solo act.

The notifications stopped.

Indicating the end of the rewards.

And Alex nodded to himself, satisfied.

He had gained more than he expected.

But then, a feeling itched at the back of his mind.

A thought that made his chest tighten just a little.

Would all the stat points he farmed in the Nightmare reflect?

Or would the system pull some bullshit rule on him?

Alex’s fingers twitched.

Only one way to find out.

He took a steady breath, then opened his stat window.

"YES!"

Alex sprang to his feet, his body bursting with energy.

"YES! YES! YES!"

He pumped his fists in the air, his voice echoing with pure exhilaration.

For a moment, he was just yelling, unable to contain himself.

This was insane.

Unbelievable.

After a while, his breathing slowed, and he forced himself to calm down.

With a deep breath, he dropped back down, settling into a seated position.

But the excitement didn’t fade.

A grin stretched across his face, his hands still clenched into tight fists, trembling with raw adrenaline.

Because the stat points were all there.

Every single one.

Exactly as he had farmed them in the Nightmare.

Nothing had been taken away.

And on top of that, the points he had earned from leveling up had been added to the total.

It felt unreal.

So unreal that, for a split second, he wondered if he was still inside the Nightmare.

Had it all been some kind of twisted trick?

But no.

He had escaped.

And now?

He was reaping the rewards.

Alex exhaled slowly, taking it all in.

The rewards had skyrocketed him ahead of the curve—way ahead.

At this point, calling it an advantage was an understatement.

Even the Nightmare Points that had been halved when converted to Tutorial Points?Pointless.

Because his title had brought them back to the original number.

A loophole. A glitch in the system.

He could already imagine the Overseer grinding his teeth in frustration.Alex was becoming too powerful, too fast—probably more than the system intended.

Not that he cared.

This was the damned rabbit fault for interfering in the first place.

Now, the moment he had been waiting for.

Alex reached into his inventory and pulled out the Attribute Converter.

The sleek, metallic object hummed in his hands.

It was time to upgrade.

And with the sheer number of stat points he had stacked up, he was pretty damn sure he could max out every single skill he possessed.
