System: Daily login!!, jackpot on the first day!!!-Chapter 412 - Error

The waters within the Domain surged like a living beast, rippling with the influence of the seven-headed serpent, twisting what should have been Taufik’s absolute control.

The serpent had not merely entered his Domain, it was rewriting it.

Corrupt mana writhed like spectral tendrils, slithering through the false ocean. It wove illusions into the foundation, stitched blasphemies into the seams of reality itself.

The once-pristine world bent under foreign code.

But Taufik didn’t flinch.

He inhaled once, slow, deliberate.

"You’re not the only one who can rewrite," he murmured.

Then, he moved.

A pulse, no, a shockwave... rippled from his core.

The ocean shattered.

Glass-like shards of water exploded outward, as if the sea itself had been sculpted from brittle crystal. The serpent reeled, heads snapping back, momentarily disoriented by the sudden fracture in its stolen reality.

"...Domain Override"

Taufik’s voice echoed, not just through the air, but through the very bones of the corrupted Mana.

A command that reality could not ignore.

The sea trembled.

Then froze, not into ice, but into concept. An idea halted mid-creation. A suspended lie, undone at the root.

The illusion collapsed.

Then... Gone.

The waters flaked apart like forgotten memory, evaporating from existence.

The serpent’s massive body flailed midair, left floating in the void, a space where physics and logic broke down, a vacuum forged by conflicting wills.

Taufik stood once more upon cracked stone, the original ground of the Domain, restored but scarred, its surface blackened and twisted by the duel of dominions.

His aura pulsed again. Not like fire.

But like a star. freёnovelkiss-com

"Let’s make this clear," he said, katana raised, golden flames spiraling along its edge like a serpent made of sunlight. "This Domain isn’t mine because I created it. It’s mine... because I never lose in it"

He vanished.

Not through space.

Not through speed.

But through dominance.

He reappeared above the central serpent head.

It saw him, all seven did, but it was too late.

The katana had already fallen.

"...Solar Fang"

A diagonal cleave of searing light carved through one of the serpent’s necks. It didn’t bleed.

It disintegrated.

The head vanished in a spiral of burning fragments, unraveled from existence.

The serpent screamed, rage, pain, confusion, six heads remaining, writhing with fury no mortal beast could contain.

They lunged.

Taufik vanished again.

This time, reappearing below.

He slammed his katana into the ground.

The Domain responded.

A dome of golden light erupted from below, launching the serpent’s colossal form into the sky like a mountain hurled by a god.

But something was wrong.

Taufik paused, narrowing his eyes.

Suspended in mid-air, one of the six remaining heads turned, then devoured the others.

One by one.

And then...

*Boom!*

An explosion of Mana, a tidal surge of raw essence swept across the Domain, too vast, too thick. Even Taufik felt the pressure, a subtle weight on his lungs.

"...This big snake is no go," he muttered, eyes narrowed. "There’s no human who can possibly face this thing. For a floor 19 Boss... It’s too powerful"

He looked up.

"System, after I’m done with this snake... erase the data. I don’t want it reconstructed"

[Understood, Master]

The serpent roared, not with sound, but with pure pressure. The false sky fractured above them, cracking like glass under divine weight.

Then it moved.

Too fast.

Its body blurred into the reconstructed waters, vanishing into its element. A ripple. A shimmer.

Taufik closed his eyes.

He listened.

A tremor. A hum of intent.

From below.

He swung... Too late.

The serpent exploded upward, water erupting like a geyser, snapping toward him in a coiled spiral.

It coiled around him, crushing, tightening, drowning.

Constriction.

The force was inhuman, its pressure amplified by water, slipping past his aura, crushing his lungs. No oxygen. No movement.

Then came the venom.

Green-black mist oozed from its fangs, diffusing into the water, seeping into his bloodstream through his skin.

"Tch..." Taufik grunted. "So it’s poison now?"

His body burned. Muscles stiffened.

Still, he didn’t panic.

His core ignited.

"SwordMagic: Fire Form - Ignition Veil"

Flames erupted in a spherical blast. The water within ten meters boiled. Steam exploded outward with a hiss loud enough to silence thought.

The serpent shrieked, skin blistering, barnacles bursting.

Taufik landed on a scorched platform of solidified earth. Regulating his breath, Katana lowered, and he peered into the mist.

Then...

Sonic blast.

Not sound but pressure.

The world rippled.

Taufik staggered. Blood dripped from his ears.

The fog twisted.

A figure emerged.

Not a serpent.

A woman. Pale. Serene. Eyes like the bottomless sea.

She walked barefoot across the water.

Hypnosis.

Taufik’s stance trembled. The Domain itself bent under her presence.

But he only smiled.

"... Oh. That trick?"

He stepped forward.

Slashed.

The illusion split clean in half. Fog parted like torn fabric.

The woman vanished.

The serpent was there, its lone head snarling.

"Nice try," Taufik said. "You’ll need more than illusions to break my focus"

Seeing that its illusion had failed, the serpent made its next move.

The Domain trembled, groaning under the weight of a new terror.

Now... Ice.

From the serpent’s gaping maw erupted a stream of liquid nitrogen, cascading like a frozen tidal wave.

The temperature plummeted in seconds, to -100°C and falling.

The air itself screamed.

Frost raced across the battlefield, devouring ground, structure, and even sound. The sky cracked, fracturing like old glass, unable to contain the impossible cold.

Taufik was mid-dash when it hit.

Too fast.

His entire body was encased, frozen in motion like a statue carved from ancient crystal. Steam locked to his skin. Mana slowed.

A breath stolen.

A moment stolen.

Everything... paused.

The serpent loomed above, coiling with triumph, its lone remaining head staring down at its prey trapped in frost.

But even then... His voice rang out:

"...Purge"

*Crack!*

The ice shattered outward, fragments glowing with residual fire.

Taufik stepped forward, steam rising from his limbs, eyes blazing like twin stars.

"... Let’s end this"

He sheathed his katana.

The serpent recoiled.

It knew.

This was the final stance.

Taufik whispered:

"...Fusion: Light and Dark - Absolute Severance!"

The Domain froze.

Then... Draw.

A single slash of blinding gold.

Not through flesh.

But through fate.

The snake heads vanished, not severed, but judged.

Its forms unraveled, stripped from the fabric of reality.

The body convulsed, once.

Twice.

Then collapsed, lifeless, massive, and undone.

The Domain now purified, began to collapse.

Reality unspooled.

Stars fell like ash.

Silence took hold.

Taufik floated alone in the dark void, surrounded by dying light.

Then:

"System," he said quietly, "Delete the seven-headed snake’s data from Floor 19"

[Confirmed. All records erased]

The stars blinked out.

And Taufik... drifted back toward the light. Come out from the remains of his Domain.

--------

After clearing the chaotic battleground of Floor 19, Taufik stepped forward without pause.

The air shimmered, and he passed into Floor 20.

’...Finally land after so long,’ was what came into Taufik’s mind the first time he set foot on Floor 20.

Here, there were no screaming serpents, no endless oceans, or collapsing realities.

Only silence... and a lone water dragon hovering in the heart of a tranquil lake, its cerulean scales glowing softly like moonlight on still water.

Strangely, fighting it was easy.

Almost too easy.

It moved with elegance, its attacks precise, but predictable. Compared to the anomaly that was the seven-headed snake, the water dragon was merely a scripted encounter. Beautiful, but simple.

Taufik cut it down in under five minutes.

No grand domain clash. No override. Just clean strikes. Efficiency.

He stood in the middle of the now-drained lake, watching the dragon dissolve into motes of blue light.

Something wasn’t right.

But he knew why.

Errors were inevitable.

Each floor in the Infinite Tower wasn’t just a level, it was an original world, a fragment of possibility stitched together in a larger structure. If the tower were fully his own creation, a single vision shaped from the ground up, errors would be rare.

But that wasn’t the case.

Taufik didn’t create every piece, he accommodated them.

He was the architect of the container, the one who gave structure to infinity, but not to every world inside it. Some floors were forged from stray thoughts, forgotten dreams, lost civilizations, even echoes of gods that have a relationship with the Demon.

He merely gathered them... and gave them purpose.

And that meant: glitches. Anomalies. Threats.

Some floors might be too broken to fix. Some might be too dangerous to leave untouched.

That was why he climbed, not just as a challenge...

... But as a responsibility.

Each floor he cleared was more than progress, it was inspection, repair, and containment. If something could be salvaged, he restored it. If it posed a risk to the climbers who would come after, he deleted it.

Not to make the Tower easier.

But to ensure it wouldn’t kill someone unfairly.

Taufik didn’t care about difficulty.

He wasn’t trying to protect the weak.

He was protecting the rules.

The integrity of what he’d made.

So he kept climbing.

Floor after floor.

World after world.

Error after error.

After all... He was the one who created the Infinite Tower.

And so, he had to face it first.

Alone.
