Part 18 Starts >:D — Inventory Unlocked (Administrator Authority + Titles + Dungeon Expansion)
The deeper they went, the more natural the system began to feel.
What had once been overwhelming—HP bars, MP management, stats, drops—was already becoming second nature. Movements were cleaner. Decisions were faster. Every action carried purpose now, because every result was visible.
And yet—
The system still wasn't finished.
It evolved again.
Not loudly.
Not forcefully.
But absolutely.
As they stepped past the threshold of Floor 10, just after the boss had fallen, a system-wide notification appeared—not just to them—but to every single person in Orario.
No—
Not just Orario.
The entire world.
The sky itself flickered.
And then—
Words appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Feature Unlocked: Inventory
Base Storage: 10 Slots
Bonus Rule: +10 Slots Every 10 Levels
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
People froze.
Mid-step.
Mid-conversation.
Mid-breath.
And before they could even react—
Another message followed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Feature Unlocked: Titles
Titles grant passive bonuses and effects
Conditions required for acquisition
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Panic.
Confusion.
Excitement.
The world split instantly between those who feared it—
And those who understood its potential.
But inside the Dungeon—
It went further.
Koneko opened her inventory, watching items settle perfectly into place. Ais tested the instant summon and return function, while Alice analyzed everything with flawless precision. Then the Title system activated—new tabs, new power, new layers of growth.
Koneko saw: First Hunter, Elite Slayer I.
Alice: System Analyst, Perfect Calculation.
Ais Wallenstein: Sword Princess, Dungeon Conqueror I.
Each title enhanced them—quietly, but undeniably.
Then—
The system froze.
Just for a moment.
Just long enough—
To be overwritten.
A new window appeared before Haruto alone.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ SYSTEM AUTHORITY REQUEST DETECTED ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
User: Haruto

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No resistance.
No delay.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ AUTHORITY GRANTED ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Title Acquired: Administrator
Scope: Absolute
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Then—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ UNIQUE TITLE ACQUIRED ]
"Origin of the System" (Black Genesis)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Everything changed.
The system no longer governed him.
He governed it.
With a single thought, inventories shifted. Items moved. Titles evolved.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Pawn of the Absolute King — (Granted)
Knight of the Absolute King — (Granted)
Queen of the Absolute King — (Granted)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Alice paused slightly.
"…Processing increased."
Koneko muttered, "...This is actually insane."
Haruto only smirked.
But then—
The biggest change came.
The sky flickered again.
This time—
Longer.
Heavier.
Absolute.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dungeon Expansion Detected
Total Floors Increased: 100 → 500
Level Cap Increased: 100 → 500
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The world—
Shook.
Guild halls erupted into chaos.
Gods went silent.
Adventurers stared upward in disbelief.
But it didn't stop there.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All Entities Updated to New Level System
Rule Applied: Level = Floor Depth
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Instantly—
Understanding spread.
Floor 1 = Level 1.
Floor 100 = Level 100.
Floor 500 = Level 500.
Simple.
Terrifying.
Perfect.
And then—
One final addition.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD SYSTEM ADDITION ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Leaderboard Unlocked
Location: Dungeon Entrance
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
At the entrance of the Dungeon—
A massive construct formed from light itself.
A towering panel.
Impossible to ignore.
Displaying names.
Ranks.
Progress.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ GLOBAL LEADERBOARD ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #1 — ???
Floor Reached: ???
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #2 — Ais Wallenstein

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #3 — Koneko Toujou
Floor Reached: 12
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #4 — Loki Familia
Floor Reached: 11
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
And many more below.
Names shifting.
Updating.
Competing.
But the first rank—
Remained hidden.
Unknown.
Because the system—
Couldn't display him.
Back in the Dungeon—
Koneko smirked slightly. "...So now it's a competition too."
Alice nodded. "Global tracking system confirmed. Progress publicly ranked."
Ais looked forward.
Not at the board.
Not at the rankings.
But deeper.
"...It doesn't matter."
Haruto glanced at her.
Then smiled.
"Yeah."
Because for them—
This wasn't a race.
It wasn't competition.
It wasn't even progression anymore.
It was domination.
And as they stepped forward—
Descending deeper into the newly expanded Dungeon—
The world above watched.
Watched the rankings.
Watched the climb.
Watched the system.
Unaware—
That the one at the very top—
Wasn't even being recorded.
Because the true number one—
Was the one who owned the board itself.

Part 19 — The World Starts Moving (Live Broadcast + Leaderboard)
The moment the Global Leaderboard appeared—
The world didn't just react. It shifted.
At the entrance of the Dungeon, the towering construct of light stood like a divine monument, its surface constantly shifting as names updated in real time. Adventurers crowded the area, pushing forward just to catch a glimpse, their eyes wide as rankings fluctuated with every passing second.
"Rank #2 is Ais Wallenstein?! She's already that deep?!"
"Floor 13… no, it just updated—Floor 14!"
"Then who the hell is Rank #1?!"
The board flickered. Once. Twice. And then—
The hidden name revealed itself.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ GLOBAL LEADERBOARD ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #1 — Haruto
Title: Origin of the System (Black Genesis)
Floor Reached: 20
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #2 — Ais Wallenstein

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #3 — Koneko Toujou
Title: Pawn of the Absolute King
Floor Reached: 20
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #4 — Loki Familia
Title: Dungeon Explorers

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Silence fell instantly.
Then—
Chaos erupted.
"Haruto?! Who the hell is that?!"
"Black Genesis?! That's not even a normal title!"
"He's already at Floor 20?!"
And before anyone could process it—
The sky flickered again.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT ]
Live Broadcast Activated
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Across the entire world, screens of light appeared. Magical projections formed in the sky, inside guild halls, above city streets—everywhere.
And then—
They saw it.
The Dungeon.
Through Haruto's perspective.
Through a perfect, system-controlled view that followed his entire party in real time. Every movement. Every kill. Every drop. Every stat interaction.
"...We can see everything…"
"Is this… real?"
The Leaderboard shifted beside the broadcast, syncing live with the footage.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ GLOBAL LEADERBOARD — LIVE ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #1 — Haruto
Title: Origin of the System (Black Genesis)

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #2 — Ais Wallenstein

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #3 — Koneko Toujou

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #4 — Loki Familia
Title: Dungeon Explorers

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The world didn't just watch—
It witnessed.
Inside the Guild, absolute silence replaced chaos. Gods leaned forward, their expressions no longer amused—but focused. Calculating.
"…He erased a boss," one muttered.
"That's not power," another replied quietly.
"…That's authority."
Back in the Dungeon—
None of it mattered.
Haruto walked forward at the same steady pace, hands in his pockets, completely indifferent to the fact that the entire world was watching him.
Behind him, Alice processed everything flawlessly. Koneko stretched slightly, already ready for the next fight. And Ais Wallenstein—
She had seen it.
The leaderboard.
His name.
His title.
And the gap between them.
"…So that's you," she said quietly.
Haruto didn't look at her.
"Yeah."
That was all.
No pride.
No explanation.
Just fact.
A new notification appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ FLOOR 21 ]
Recommended Level: 21
Elite: Level 21
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The moment they stepped forward—
Monsters reacted instantly.
Faster. Smarter. More coordinated.
Koneko moved first—
A blur—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HP: 0
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Enemies collapsed instantly.
Drops followed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ Drop Acquired — Auto Stored ]
Valis +520
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The world watched it happen in real time.
"No delay…"
"Everything goes straight into inventory…"
"His control… it's perfect…"
An Elite appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Lizardman Elite — Level 21
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It attacked—
But Ais intercepted.
Her blade moved—
Precise. Efficient. Clean.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HP: 0
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The Elite shattered.
Drops followed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ Drop Acquired — Auto Stored ]
Valis +800
Magic Item: Blue Rare — Scale Guard Ring
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Above ground—
The crowd erupted.
"She one-shot it!"
"That's Rank #2?!"
But their eyes always returned—
To Rank #1.
Because Haruto—
Still hadn't fought.
Still hadn't needed to.
"…I'll surpass you," Ais said quietly.
"Try," Haruto replied.
The descent continued.
Floor 22.
Floor 23.
Floor 24.
Each floor cleared faster than the last. Each drop perfectly managed. Each movement displayed to the entire world.
The economy began to shake.
"If he keeps collecting items like that…"
"He could control the entire market…"
"He already does…"
They reached Floor 30.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ FLOOR 30 — BOSS ROOM ]
Boss Level: 30
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The boss appeared—
Massive. Violent.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Dungeon Boss — Level 30
HP: 8,500 / 8,500
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It roared—
And then—
Haruto moved.
A single thought.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HP: 0
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The boss—
Disappeared.
Silence fell across the entire world.
"…He didn't even attack…"
Alice's voice echoed through the broadcast.
"Administrator authority. Entity deletion confirmed."
No one spoke.
Because now—
They understood.
This wasn't strength.
This wasn't skill.
This wasn't something they could reach.
This was control over the system itself.
Haruto turned.
"Let's move."
And they did.
Descending further.
Faster.
Unstoppable.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #1 — Haruto
Title: Origin of the System (Black Genesis)
Floor Reached: 30 → Updating…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The gap widened.
The world watched.
And for the first time—
Everyone realized.
This wasn't a competition anymore.
It was a demonstration.
And the one at the top—
Wasn't climbing.
He was simply going deeper.

Part 19 Ends here
Part 20 starts

Part 20 — Acceleration (Live Leveling)
The moment they left Floor 30, the pace changed completely. It wasn't just faster—it was overwhelming. Haruto didn't slow down, didn't pause, didn't even glance at the enemies spawning around them as the system continuously generated waves to match their descent. The live broadcast captured everything in perfect clarity, and across the world people watched in stunned silence as what was once considered the "deep floors" became nothing more than a passing blur. Floor 31, 32, 33—cleared in moments. Monsters appeared only to vanish instantly, their HP bars dropping to zero before they could even fully materialize. Valis flooded in endlessly, stacking into massive totals, while magic items flashed briefly before being absorbed into inventory under Haruto's control. The efficiency wasn't just unnatural anymore—it was absolute.
Then—
Another system layer revealed itself.
Across every screen in the world, new bars appeared beside each person in the broadcast.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ LIVE STATUS DISPLAY ACTIVATED ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HP bars.
MP bars.
And now—
Level progression.
A glowing EXP bar appeared beneath each of them, updating in real time.
The world saw it happen instantly.
Koneko defeated another wave—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +900
Level Up! → 21 → 22
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Her HP and MP bars refreshed slightly as her stats increased mid-combat.
"...She just leveled up—instantly?!"
"No delay? No rest period?!"
Ais moved next, cutting through an Elite with flawless precision.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +2,400
Level Up! → 60 → 61
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Her aura sharpened slightly as her stats increased in real time, her movements becoming even more refined within seconds.
The broadcast didn't miss a single detail.
Stats increasing.
Efficiency rising.
Power evolving—
Live.
Inside the Dungeon, neither of them stopped.
Leveling wasn't an event anymore.
It was constant.
Koneko moved again—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +1,100
Level Up! → 22 → 23
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"...This is insane," she muttered, barely reacting as her strength continued to climb mid-fight.
Alice observed calmly, her voice steady. "Live leveling confirmed. No growth delay. No stabilization period required."
That single sentence shook the world more than anything else.
Because it meant—
There was no cap on momentum.
No pause between growth.
No limit to continuous evolution.
Above ground, adventurers stared at their own status screens, watching their slow EXP gain in comparison.
"…We level once every few days…"
"They're leveling multiple times in minutes…"
The gap—
Was no longer just visible.
It was measurable.
And it was growing.
The leaderboard updated again, now displaying levels alongside ranks.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ GLOBAL LEADERBOARD — LIVE ]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #1 — Haruto
Title: Origin of the System (Black Genesis)
Level: ???
Floor Reached: 40 → Updating…
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #2 — Ais Wallenstein
Title: Sword Princess
Level: 61 → 62 → Updating…
Floor Reached: 40
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Rank #3 — Koneko Toujou
Title: Pawn of the Absolute King
Level: 23 → 24 → Updating…
Floor Reached: 40
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Haruto's level—
Still couldn't be displayed.
Even the system—
Couldn't define it.
Back in the Dungeon, Floor 35 barely registered as a challenge. An Elite monster spawned—larger, faster, smarter—but Ais cut it down in a single, clean motion before it could even complete its attack pattern.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +2,800
Level Up! → 62 → 63
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
She didn't stop.
Didn't react.
Her eyes stayed forward.
"Still not enough," she murmured.
Haruto heard her.
But didn't respond.
Because he didn't need to.
His existence—
Was the standard.
By the time they reached Floor 40 again, the pressure had become meaningless. The boss appeared, its massive HP bar filling the screen for the entire world to see—but before it could act, before it could even finish materializing—
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
HP: 0
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
It vanished.
Deleted.
And immediately—
The rewards triggered.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Valis +12,000
Item: Purple Epic — Titan Core Fragment
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The world didn't cheer this time.
They watched.
Quietly.
Because now they understood.
This wasn't progression.
This wasn't grinding.
This was domination.
And then—
They saw it again.
The leveling.
Ais.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +3,200
Level Up! → 63 → 64
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Koneko.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
EXP +1,500
Level Up! → 24 → 25
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
No pause.
No limit.
No slowdown.
Haruto turned slightly.
"Let's go."
And they moved again.
Floor 41.
Floor 42.
Floor 43.
Each step—
More EXP.
More levels.
More growth.
The broadcast continued.
The leaderboard updated.
The world watched.
And for the first time—
They realized something far more terrifying than his power.
It wasn't that Haruto was strong.
It was that everyone with him—
Was becoming unstoppable.
In real time.
And there was nothing anyone could do—
To catch up.
