[You have achieved the title 'Dominator']
Jack still had Evangeline pressed against the bathroom walls as he penetrated her from below, when the holographic interface flashed across his vision and the bathroom suddenly plunged into darkness the next moment, with everything in it graying black like years long decay.
[You have entered the Undead Labyrinth dungeon | D-Rank]
Jack quickly pulled his dick out of Evangeline the next moment, just in time to miss ejaculating inside her.
It has finally begun… The end of the world.
"W—what is this? Is there a blackout?" Evangeline's part confused, part scared voice reached Jack's ears, but he ignored her.
As much as he had anticipated it all and even chose prior, the Undead Labyrinth, knowing beforehand it was going to be spawning at Riverdale Highs, what Jack hadn't—and wasn't expecting and was in fact stunned at, was the contents of the first notification he'd received.
A title?
"Did I really just achieve a title for doing absolutely nothing?" Jack mused in disbelief.
The world had just ended, and the beginning after that was still far from being accomplished by him—but there it was, the title [Dominator].
"Is this the golden finger I get for regressing?" Jack couldn't help but guess, "Did my luck stat improve from last time?".
"Status!" Jack called out in the dark, startling Evangeline who was just about asking what he'd said, when she saw a curved, blue holographic interface materialize before Jack.
"Jack?! There's something in your face…" Evangeline called out in alarm, but trailed off as she saw Jack's fingers tracing across the holographic interface like he was navigating it.
She couldn't see what was being displayed on the interface as it was blurred from her end, but Jack could see it. He couldn't only see it, but was casually interacting with it as well. The soft glow bathing his not-so-average facial features.
At that moment, it was clear as daylight for Evangeline that the boy standing before her, wasn't the same Jack she'd known.
The wasn't the timid and pathetic boy she's made fun of on countless occasions.
His aura felt different now.
And now she thought of it, why had Jack really tricked her into having sex with him? If it were because he was into her like so many other guys which was understandable as she was cream of the crop amongst her peers, then Jack could've done so quietly and behind everyone's back.
But no, Jack decided he wanted to have it in a way the whole school became aware—and inevitably, Jake, her boyfriend, and his school bully.
She'd previously thought Jack probably had a plan B to escape the mess he'd created and all, but with the way things were looking now, Jack was never into her. His aim all along was revenge—revenge on Jake.
And she'd only been a tool to achieve that.
At that moment she saw Jack raise his eyes from the holographic interface before him to stare at her, and she quickly shuffled back in fear but hit the cold dead walls behind her back.
Now that he had no use for her anymore, and they were all alone in this seemingly strange place, and the students outside seemed to have all disappeared, what was he going to do to her?
He has taken revenge on Jake by doing to her what Jake has never done with her. Jake has fucked his bully's virgin girlfriend in the school's bathroom so loud that the entire school heard.
But what about her?
Evangeline knew she'd only been a tool to get back at Jake, but she herself had also been rude and disdainful towards him. She had also been his bully. What was it that Jack planned for her?
At that moment, Jack suddenly took a step forward to stand just a breath away from her, and placed his hand beside her head.
"J—Jack, please…" Evangeline cried as she tried to back away in fear, but her back only pressed against the cold solid wall.
Jack could only sigh internally as he looked at her. Indeed, he hadn't planned what to do with Evangeline after that and was just about to ditch her, but after reading the [Dominator] title description and its attributes, Jack came to realize it was neither a golden finger, nor has his luck stat improved even by half a digit.

[Title]: Dominator
An exceptionally rare title granted to an individual who has successfully dominated a subject. This title unlocks unique abilities that revolve around subjugating and assimilating the power of others, turning their strength into your own.
Innate Skill: [Dominance: EXP/Skill Share]
Type: Passive Effect
Description: For every subject you successfully dominate, you can establish a link that allows you to share their experience points (EXP), skills, and abilities. You can freely adjust the EXP ratio, from a symbiotic 50:50 split to a complete 100:0 transfer, effectively absorbing all of their growth.
Requirements: To dominate a new subject, you must meet specific conditions of psychological or physical subjugation. Once dominated, the subject is permanently linked to your system.
Subjects: 1/∞
• Evangeline Rose Sterling | Ratio [50:50]

The Dominator title was only born out of Felix's choice to dominate Evangeline in the bathroom just as the system wave had hit Earth.
If he had chosen to do anything otherwise, then Jack wouldn't have been getting the [Dominator] title—a powerful headstart.
In this game of luck, Jack had gotten lucky with a terrible luck.
What were the odds?
A few hours ago, Jack had been skewered by all sorts of spells and projectiles, only to wake up back in his bedroom five months ago, and a day before the end of the world and its inevitable new beginning.
What were the odds?
The Dominator skill description had said so much, yet so little.
Was he now able to share the (exp) points, skills, and abilities of all those he defeated in battle, but as well as all the women he dominates through sex—like Evangeline?
But for such an ability to work, he not only needed the subject alive—but fighting.
He needed Evangeline to grow stronger… and she needed him as much to survive.
