Apocalypse Baby-Chapter 190: Earned Rewards
Ding!
[You have defeated the Grim Lord.]
[You have received 85,000 Nightmare Points.]
[You have received 2,500 Stat Points.]
Alex gasped.
Then another another notification.
For a moment, he had almost forgotten about his golden finger.
Ding!
[Apocalypse Baby activating...]
[You have received 85,000 Nightmare Points.]
[You have received 2,500 Stat Points.]
His heart pounded.
That meant his total was now—
[Total Nightmare Points: 445,000]
[Total Stat Points: 12,850]
Alex’s eyes widened.
This was insane.
His grip tightened as excitement surged through him.
So many points...
But then another thought hit him.
What now?
Nightmare Points had no use in the tutorial.
So what were they going to be converted into?
His fingers twitched in anticipation.
Whatever it was—
It was going to be good.
Ding!
[You have completed the Nightmare, defeating a Beast Lord.]
[Level Up! +7]
[You have received 35 Stat Points.]
[You have received 7 Powerstones.]
Alex chuckled.
Thirty-five Stat Points.
Before the Nightmare, he would have been thrilled to get this much. Powerstones too.
But now?
He barely felt a thing.
After farming an absurd amount of Stat Points in the Nightmare—abusing the system every chance he got—this felt like scraps.
His fingers tapped against his knee as he thought.
Why was the Nightmare designed like this?

Why did it give away so many Stat Points so easily?
Then it hit him.
There was no way whoever designed it could predict an anomaly like Alex, who happened to possess a title that doubled reward and an attribute converter that required stat point would participate.
For regular players, though, getting many stats points was good; but it didn’t mean as much to them as it meant for Alex.
Sure, it was also because players weren’t expected to survive.
But more than one had survived.
Freya. Onigi. Dorion. Ezekiel... (If those last two even survived their injuries.)
Five survivors.
They had all endured the Nightmare, and now they had a decent amount of Stat Points to distribute.
Which was an insane advantage for them.
Alex let out a slow breath.
Relieved.
At least now he was sure Freya would be fine wherever she was.
Then, the notifications kept coming.
Ding!
[You have received a skill: Domain.]
[Domain] – A power that bends reality itself within a space of absolute control. By activating it, the user imposes their will upon the battlefield, creating a personal dimension where enemies are trapped under their rules. Within this space:
User’s attacks become unavoidable. Abilities are amplified. Foes have no escape.
Only those with immense power or a Domain of their own can resist its overwhelming presence. However, activating Domain consumes an enormous amount of energy
[You have received an Amulet: Oath of Reversion]
[Oath of Reversion] – A mysterious, one-time-use amulet that holds an incredible power.
Upon the user’s death, time rewinds exactly 24 hours. The user is sent back with all memories intact. The amulet activates only upon fatal damage—it cannot be triggered at will. Once used, it shatters permanently. If the user dies again without another amulet... there is no coming back.
[You have received a passive skill: Illusion Resistance]
[Illusion Resistance] – The User is completely immune to illusions, mental interference, and deceptive reality-warping abilities. Whether faced with a visual mirage, auditory hallucination, or mind control attempt, Illusion Resistance keeps him unaffected. Even the most intricate illusions crumble before his perception.The skill enhances mental clarity, preventing confusion or deception-based debuffs.
Alex gasped.
His eyes widened as he stared at the notifications.
New skills. A powerful item.
This was beyond what he had expected.
For a moment, he barely registered the fact that his total Nightmare Points had been halved in exchange for Tutorial Points, but it didn’t matter as Tutorial Points had no use currently.
But the item…
That was what had his full attention.
Oath of Reversion.
The name alone sounded powerful.
Alex read the description again, his heartbeat quickening.
If he died, time would rewind exactly 24 hours.
He would return with all his memories intact.
It wasn’t something he could activate at will—only fatal damage would trigger it.
Once used, the amulet would shatter permanently.
And if he died again without another? That was it. No second chances.
Alex exhaled sharply, gripping his palm into a fist.
This was insane.
Even though it was a one-time-use, it was easily one of the strongest lifelines he had ever received.
Death wasn’t the end anymore.
He had a second chance—a full 24 hours to change his fate if things went south.
It was more than worth it.
All the effort and the danger he had to face to conquer the Nightmare was all worth it.
Alex grinned.
"Yeah… This is a game-changer."
Now for the skills.
Alex’s gaze flicked to the first notification.
Domain
His mind immediately recalled the undead guide from the third round—the one who wanted to crush him for breaking the rules, changing the entire landscape, and summoning different lava monsters.
But he broke it apart using the immense power of his explosion escaping the domain.
Now?
He had something similar.
No—maybe something even stronger.
With the numerous abilities he already possessed, his version of Domain had the potential to be even more devastating.
A space where he ruled. A battlefield where his enemies had no escape.
Of course, the energy cost was massive, but that didn’t matter.
Power like this was worth it.
Then came the next skill.
[Illusion Resistance]
He remembered this one—it had been promised to players at the start of the Nightmare while he was on the boat.
The reason?
To ensure no one ever got trapped in an illusion like the Nightmare again.
It wasn’t just useful.
It was broken.
A passive skill that made him immune to illusions, mental attacks, and deceptive abilities. No hallucinations, no mind control, no tricks. Nothing could cloud his mind now.
Alex’s lips curled into a grin.
This was insane.
And then—it happened.
His golden finger kicked in.
New notifications flooded in.
His ever-growing list of skills just kept increasing.
And Alex...
He wasn’t complaining.
