Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 716: The Fourth Entry
Previously on Strongest Necromancer System...
[Spear of Heaven: A distinctive artifact forged by the lightbringers from Solania. This spear bears numerous runes and spells etched upon it, endowing it with several light attributes like [Weightlessness], [Lightspeed], and [Exorcism of Evil], rendering it among the most coveted arms for light-wielding mages and devout zealots across the Primordial Expanse. Its standout trait is a rune that imprints the [You shall not miss] property on the spear, guaranteeing it strikes its intended mark no matter the barriers in its way. When brandishing this arm, the wielder receives a +200% enhancement to every light-based ability, alongside a -90% reduction in power for all dark abilities.]
——
[Me Against the World: As among the rare individuals who confronted the world in combat and emerged alive, the bearer has earned a singular title. When activated, it bestows an Environmental Defiance trait that shields the user from natural occurrences. Global assaults like typhoons, earthquakes, hurricanes, and intense gravity face an 80% diminishment in impact upon touching the user. The user's very existence turns into a force that challenges the world's own will.]

A wave of thrill coursed through Jason's chest as he eyed the bounties from these quests! The gains from his clash with the world were utterly staggering! Securing a TITAN Rank weapon and a TITAN Rank Artefact simultaneously was already excessive, yet the title he obtained proved even superior! The TITAN Rank Artefact essentially served as an invisibility mantle, aiding him in evading troubles he wished to sidestep! From the system's description, as long as those nearby remained unaware of his presence, their strikes aimed at him would fail to connect! Wasn't that rendering him immune to all forms of assault? Incredible! Moreover, the weapon was one Jason had pondered for quite some time! It materialized in Jason’s Alternate Dimension upon acquisition, and he instantly identified it as the very armament Hesabeth had conjured days earlier.
'That's the tool that slew the captive once Hesabeth lost her temper with him. I've mulled over those runes on it extensively. I'll examine it whenever possible.'
Jason resolved that firmly, then shifted his focus to the last prize. The title was ridiculously potent! Through enduring the world's fury, the system had transformed Jason into a solitary force opposing the planet itself! Every natural calamity or worldly event would suffer an eighty percent weakening upon encountering Jason! Thus, he could traverse an actual earthquake as if strolling on steady terrain while this ability operated!
These prizes were phenomenal, and Jason felt deeper gratitude than ever for surviving that worldly confrontation! He wasn't sure if he'd dare battle the world anew, knowing it had restrained itself previously. Yet, with this title, he'd fare better in any future such ordeal!
Jason at last directed his gaze to the subsequent alert, murmuring upon viewing the annulled quest. Evidently, the system acknowledged the Overlord's death prior to these events. Jason remained clueless about how the Overlord perished and got supplanted by that monstrous Chimera undetected by his followers, but Gillian’s recollections revealed it occurred on another realm, explaining the other Machina's ignorance. Now armed with this knowledge, Jason grasped why encounters with the Overlord always unsettled him before. A peculiar sensation arose each time, as if the Overlord’s magic diverged subtly from other Machina Jason had encountered. Yet, no one else perceived it, making Jason appear overly suspicious!
Far from suspicion, Jason's perceptions were keenly attuned, and this episode bolstered his faith in his gut feelings further! He vowed never to dismiss any intuition regarding others henceforth! If his senses detected variances in the Overlord’s mana versus other Machina's when none could, he'd heed every odd warning from his instincts ahead. Reviewing the selectable prizes, Jason quickly discerned just one worthwhile option. With over a hundred million kill points already, two hundred thousand added little, and reputation gains with the Radagans and council could wait! He chose the fourth prize, prompting the system to display yet another message.

'Are you alright, Jason? You've stayed quiet for some time now. I understand it's polite not to chat during meals, but don't leave me hanging with your quietness.'
Queen Hesabeth abruptly interjected from beside him, spotting Jason's prolonged silence, and he merely hummed while grabbing another pastry from the picnic spread. Hesabeth's cheeks inflated with irritation as Jason persisted in overlooking her, so she extended one delicate foot to nudge his shoulder forcefully! Barefoot as she was, her tender sole inflicted no harm on Jason, but it succeeded in capturing his notice. Jason glanced at Hesabeth, his gaze trailing down her slender, fair leg before settling on her revealed undergarments from the leg lift. He arched a brow at her, and she scowled in return!
'Don't brush me off when I'm speaking to you.'
'I'm not brushing you off. I'm just pondering something.'
Jason seized Hesabeth’s foot prior to another kick, and she flushed deeply as he began tickling her sole!
'AH! Stop! Stop! Hahahahahaha!!'
Hesabeth collapsed backward in fits of laughter as Jason's digits glided over her foot's underside, her form convulsing wildly with mirth! He kept at it for over a minute, leaving Hesabeth quaking as she pleaded for mercy! Only when her breaths grew ragged did Jason release her leg! Abandoning Hesabeth to recover solo, he snatched another cupcake and resumed perusing the system.
Opting for yes in the system choices, a new panel emerged.

Hello, Jason.
By now, it seems ages since I penned one of these.
