The alert had been blinking at the corner of Ravenna’s vision ever since the battle ended, persistent like an itch beneath skin. Now seated at her writing desk in the calm hush of her study, she finally gave it her full attention. The tall windows behind her bathed the room in the warm light of late afternoon, the golden rays casting a glow across maps, parchnts, and war reports spread over her desk.
With a sharp exhale, Ravenna opened the spend reputation points nu.

Ravenna frowned. “From the context clues, it feels like I wasn’t ant to unlock version 1.0 of the system at my current level,” she muttered, absently tapping her finger on the edge of her desk. “It’s like… a backdoor opened because of the second odyssey ring.”
She leaned back slightly in her chair, eyes scanning the list again. “The system wants to delete three slots to make room for the new features… but most of these are way too useful.”
Ravenna exhaled slowly. Her mind sorted through the options with the sa clarity she used always even in her past life. Strategy first, sentint second.
“Well,” she muttered, “Minor Heal is obsolete now that Major Heal is available. No sense in keeping sothing I’ll never use.” She selected [delete: Minor Heal] without hesitation.
“Next… ‘Change Appearance.’ It sounds useful, sure, but only if I need to hide. Right now? I’m far too public to vanish without a trace. And if it's only applicable to , not others, its value is limited.”
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
[delete: Change Appearance]
Now only one remained. Ravenna’s eyes drifted to the final choice. Her lips tightened.
“Loop Back 1 Minute… Ti reversal. It sounds incredible, but it’s too short to change anything major but it can be very useful if I unlock it in the future. But," she said softly, “if I ever have to negotiate against gods again, especially Herptian, access to the Celestial Realm could be far more valuable.”
Her finger hovered over the last option. A pause of hesitation.
Then—[delete: Loop Back 1 Minute]
The mont she selected the third deletion, a new system ssage blood before her eyes in a shimring golden script.
[System Reconfiguration in Progress]
[New Features Installing… Please wait]
Ravenna leaned back in her chair, brows furrowed in deep thought. The soft ticking of the wall-mounted tipiece seed louder in the silence.

At first glance, nothing had changed.
Ravenna’s fingers hovered in the air as if scrolling a phantom screen. Then she noticed it, a subtle scroll bar on the side of the main nu, almost hidden in plain sight. Her gaze narrowed, and with a flick of will, she scrolled down.
And just like that, more options unfolded before her eyes.
[ Reputation System v1.0 ]
{ Exchange Items } { Enter Origin Domain }
“Items?” Ravenna tilted her head, intrigued. “So the system can give real things now?” she murmured, unable to hide the small glint of curiosity flickering in her voice.
She selected { Exchange Items }.
The screen shifted into a minimalist interface. Two identical boxes appeared side by side, separated by a swirling icon of opposing arrows.
▢⇄▢
“What… is this?” Ravenna muttered. There was no item list. No store. Just the twin boxes and their ever-cycling exchange symbol. She tapped the first box on the left.
[ Reputation System v1.0 – Information ]
Trade Box (Left): Place an item to exchange it into an Origin Domain item. Reputation Points will be deducted based on the item’s complexity and rarity.
Her frown deepened. “So... it's like a converter. My world’s items turned into sothing… not of this world?”
She tapped the second box.
[ Reputation System v1.0 – Information ]
Trade Box (Right): Place an Origin Domain item to convert it into a functional item within the user’s world. Reputation Points will be deducted based on the transformation cost.
“So it’s not a store,” Ravenna muttered, rubbing her chin. “It’s a barter system. One that lets transmute items between realities... but what even is the Origin Domain?”
Curiosity won over caution. She closed the Exchange window and returned to the main nu. Her gaze locked onto the other new feature.
{ Enter Origin Domain }

Ravenna didn’t hesitate. “Yes,” she said firmly.
The mont she spoke, the world around her blinked out of existence. She wasn’t falling. She wasn’t flying. She was sohow doing both.
Ti unraveled. Gravity twisted sideways. Her breath caught in her throat as darkness enveloped her, not cold, not suffocating, but infinite.
And then—
When her eyes opened again, she found herself standing in the center of a colossal space. A vast office room, entirely empty, walls stretching higher than any palace ceiling, yet featureless: like the blueprint of a place yet to be shaped.
Its floor reflected no light. Its walls echoed no sound.
And yet, sohow, it humd with aning. Ravenna looked around, unsettled by the sterile silence. No doors. No windows. No furniture.
Just her. And the system.
“Where… am I?” she whispered, her voice strangely muffled as if reality hadn’t fully solidified around her yet.
