My Idle Gaming System

A gorgeous light shone from the tall shelves of the Dimensional Store, releasing 4 purple lights into Noah's hands as 40,000 Silver Cores disappeared from his Inventory.

He had a light smile as he looked at these Unit Shards. With his over 300 thousand Silver Unit Upgrade Crystals, he could very quickly pump these Silver Drakes and fuse them to produce 2 Aether Half Dragons, which would allow him to use up the 2 new spots of Units that were increased with the Upgrade of the System!

This would allow for him to have 4 Aether Half Dragons, 2 Conflagrant Pegasi, a Frost Basilisk, and an Equipment Guardian!

"Hooo..."

He let out a light breath as he took everything in, glancing at the far away shelves of this Dimensional Store that held items he couldn't even buy, not trying to get his heart and hopes up from looking at things far away as he forced himself to give the command to leave the Dimensional Store!

SHAA!

His figure appeared in the Waiting Room as his eyes gazed towards the thing that he couldn't wait to go into, so much so that he didn't even continue exploring the Dimensional Store until he saw exactly what was waiting for him with the feature called Infinite Crucible.

Endless waves of Dimensional Beasts. Endless Rewards! Crucible Points! Death wasn't final!

There were so many things attached onto the Infinite Crucible that Noah couldn't help but walk towards it while summoning his Units.

RUMBLE!

The enormous figures of Aether Dragons, Pegasi, Basilisk, and an Equipment Guardian appeared as along with them, 2 golden-purple flashes of light erupted out as Noah pumped the required Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals into the 4 newly bought Aether Drakes and combined them, the brilliant hue of purple spilling into the Waiting Room even more as 2 new Gold Rank Aether Half Dragons made their appearance!

ROAAAR!

Draconic bellows rang out as Noah nodded at the magnificent figures of 4 Half Dragons, bringing all of these beings towards the pulsing gateway that was the Infinite Crucible, their figures disappearing in a flash of light!

WAA!

Spatial energies wrapped around Noah and his units as they were shuttled across space and time, their figures only reappearing a second later as they descended down in a flash of blue light.

Noah's eyes brightened up as he looked at his surroundings, seeing that the floor they stood on was inscribed with square white boxes that extended for miles! This expansive floor of the Infinite Crucible was bordered by thin transparent white walls that Noah could see far in the distance, the whole structure being shaped like a huge octagon!

When he looked past the transparent white walls that acted as the border of the octagonal space and above him on what should have been the sky, he found himself only seeing the beautiful sight of a starry glimmer of space.

The Infinite Crucible...was actually an enormous octagonal arena that stretched out for miles while floating in space!

RUMBLE!

His arrival caused a flood of mana to pour in as a smile from him, red portals appeared while releasing a dangerous glow. Their appearance was followed by a prompt appearing in front of Noah's eyes.

[Begin Wave 1? Once started, the Waves will automatically continue until 10 are cleared.]

"Begin!"

The prompt gave a question, and Noah answered it with fervor as the 8 Units around him roared out!

THRUUM!

An intense wave of mana resonated out as the red portals shone, creatures beginning to be released from them as it seemed they were struggling with each other to get out and rush towards Noah.

They bared their fangs as their saliva dripped onto the floor, Noah seeing terrifying figures of Iron Rank Minotaurs, Treants, Flaming Lions, and a variety of Reptilian Creatures that all thone with glimmers of light!

ROOOAR!

Their numbers quickly rose above a few hundreds as they moved in an enclosed circular wave towards Noah and his Units.

The four Aether Dragons looked at the figures of hundreds of Iron Ranked Dimensional Beasts in contempt, their roars meaning nothing to them as with the majesty of dragons, four [Destructive Rays] of Aether erupted from their jaws as they moved them left from right, a shocking scene of entire hordes of Iron Ranked beasts becoming dismembered or blasted to oblivion showing itself!

BZZZZT!

The dangerous purple energy of Aether vibrated around them, the monsters that were coming towards them in a circular explosion all burnt to cinders or torn apart from the aether rays released from the jaws of the Half Dragons...the entire first wave being cleared just with these attacks!

...!

[Wave 2 Commencing.]

The prompt appeared in the skies as Noah observed the scene with a shining gaze, climbing onto the back of one of the Aether Half Dragons as he looked over everything from above, the Half Dragons, Conflagrant Pegasi, Frost Basilisk, and the Equipment Guardians all moving towards the newly erupting wave of enemies that began to leak out of the portals.

Compared to the first Wave, a few hundred more Dimensional Beasts were added...but since they were all in the Iron Rank, they were cleared in seconds from the deadly attacks of the Aether Half Dragons that could cover a large distance!

Corpses littered the floor of the Infinite Crucible as the Dimensional Beasts didn't disappear into particles of light, their bodies piling up if they weren't disintegrated and turned into bloody paste from the attacks of the terrifying GOLD Units.

RUMBLE

Another wave commenced as a chilling sight ensued, the waves being cleared as Noah passed the first few with extreme ease!

Every time another wave came, hundreds of more Iron Rank Beasts were added, and tens of Bronze Beasts began to appear on the 5th Wave.

ROAAR!

The roars of the Aether Half-Dragons could be heard throughout as they decimated the enemy forces, not mattering whether it was iron or Bronze as they were all shredded equally!

By the 9th Wave, the majority of the hundreds of Beasts jumping out of the portal turned out to be those in the Bronze, and the 10 Wave had ten Silver Beast Rift Bosses make their appearance.

Yet all it took Noah was a minute to clear out all the low level Beasts of even the 10th wave.

OOOM!

The moment all the Beasts were cleared from the 10th wave, the mountains of bodies that had piled up began to break into particles of light, a prompt appearing in the skies for Noah to see!

[10th Wave cleared. Proceed or Give Up and collect rewards?]

The question didn't even need to be considered as Noah wanted to know how stupendous the rewards were on the floors where he could defeat Gold Rank Dimensional Beasts!

"Proceed!"

RUMBLE

With his command, the waves of Beasts resumed as Noah underwent multiple bloody battles, each of them being cleared as neither he nor his units ever came to harm from the Beasts they faced in these early levels.

By the 15th Wave, no more Iron Rank Beasts appeared as only Bronze and Silver littered the floors of the Infinite Crucible.

By the 25th Wave, the Beasts rushing out of the red portals were all in the Silver Rank as tens of Silver Rank Rift Bosses thundered towards Noah and his Units, only to be delivered death!

On the 30th floor...Gold Dimensional Beasts finally began to appear as the hundreds of Beasts Silver Beasts were led by 5 horrendous Gold Beasts.

They looked like oversized Iguanas, their huge jaws shooting out scorching balls of flames as they threatened to topple Noah's dominance, but even they fell under the assault of 8 High Tier Element Gold Units!

OOOOH!

Noah's units released victorious bellows when the 5 Gold Beasts fell, the 30th Wave being passed as Noah became extremely serious and careful while proceeding to the next few Waves.

The 31st through the 34th waves had similar numbers and qualities of Beasts, where aside from the 5 Gold Rift Bosses, tens of normal ranked Gold Beasts began to appear among the hundreds of Silver!

On the 35th Wave...Noah shockingly faced 10 Gold Rift Bosses as he faced the first hard battle within the Infinite Crucible.

Yet with the aid of the powerful Light and Aether Units along with the Frost Basilisk, even this was passed as the 10 Golf Rift Bosses fell one by one!

It was at this point that the true challenge began, with Noah facing variations of 10 Gold Rift Bosses for the 36th through the 39th Waves.

At this point, very few Silver Beasts could be seen as the floor of the Infinite Crucible was littered with Gold Rank corpses, Noah breathing heavily as he stood atop an Aether Half-Dragon while looking at the last remaining Gold Rift Boss of the 39th Wave.

It was being held down by the Equipment Guardian while Noah and the remaining Units swallowed multiple Potions to be in top tier shape, the beast having its life reaped away only when Noah gave the nod!

A brilliant light flashed out as a dreadful prompt appeared in the air.

[Wave 40 Commencing.]

RUMBLE!

The air quaked as terrifying auras emanated out from the red portals spread out across the Infinite Crucible, Noah letting out a breath as he counted not just the usual 10 Gold Rift Bosses that he had been meeting in the past few waves...but he counted the auras of 20!

20 Gold Rank Rift Bosses.

ROAAAR!

They varied from enormous Golden Minotaurs to Flaming White Eagles, Earth Drakes, Molten Lava Lords...a variety of Rift Bosses that added up to 20! They were accompanied by hundreds of normal Gold Ranked Beasts, Noah's face becoming exceedingly serious as he faced such a terrifying force!

"Just this Wave..."

His hand felt the scales of the glistening Aether Half Dragon he was on as he repeated to himself, Noah facing his toughest battle yet as he felt more threatened against the 20 terrifying Rift Bosses than even the injured DIAMOND expert he swarmed not too long ago!

RUMBLE!

Billowing waves of power emanated out as Noah's buffed Units roared, facing a dangerous battle even with their elected strength as high Tier Units.

An hour passed.

Devastation could be seen everywhere across the miles of the octagonal Infinite, thousands of bodies strewn all about!

Enormous 20 meter corpses that represented GOLD Rift Bosses could be seen, only a few beings still standing on the bloody arena as their eyes were filled with tiredness!

From the 4 Aether Half-Dragons, many areas of their bodies had their tough scales shattered, the wing of one of them even nearly being torn off.

The Conflagrant Pegasi and all other Units had heavy injuries on them as well, all of them undergoing their first truly deadly battle as their lives were in peril a few times, the Heals of the Light Equipment Guardian being the one to save a few of them many times!

Noah stood among a mountain of corpses himself as with red eyes, he looked towards the prompt in the sky above him.

[40th Wave Cleared. Proceed or give up and collect Rewards?]

This time around when he saw these words, he didn't hesitate as he chose to give up!

RUMBLE

He raised his exhausted eyes as he saw the corpses around him disappearing, a Golden light washing down and flowing into him as yet another prompt appeared.

[40 Waves Cleared. Based on the Clear time of the Waves, rewarded with Tier 3 Gold Rank Treasure Trove.]

RUMBLE!

A shining Gold chest appeared in Noah's inventory, his tired and shaking eyes locating it as he clicked on it, a bloom of gold erupting and covering his entire sight as gorgeous words were displayed to him!

[Tier 3 Gold Rank Treasure Trove] :: [+5,000 Gold Cores] [+100,000 Gold Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+200 Random Gold Rank Unit Shards], [+20 Random Gold Equipment], [+50,000 Silver Cores], [+300,000 Silver Rank Upgrade Crystals], [+800 Random Silver Rank Unit Shards]...

...!

Alarm rose in Noah's eyes as a shocking sight was displayed in front of him.

It showed many things, but the biggest and most important one was a set of Upgrade Crystals that guaranteed something of immense importance!

It was the guarantee of a Diamond Unit, the guarantee of Noah gaining the power to alone flip the scales of power of this Ethereal Realm he found himself in!
