OOOM!
Following a small eruption of violet energy, Von felt an elusive part of himself expand.
[Hand of Hades has leveled up from 1 → 2]
[Horde has leveled up from 1 → 2]
[Horde's Maximum Capacity increased to 5]
Following this series of system notifications, Von received a few more informing him of what his first Minion gained from the battle.
[Goblin Minion #1 (Unnamed) killed three Goblins ranging from (Lvl 1 - 2) — Minion's EXP increased by 6]
[Minion #1 EXP: 6/5] - [Level Up?]
The threshold for Horde Minions to level up was lower than that of the Horde Lord, so his first Minion's Level-up came easy.
"Level up the Horde!" Von got a little too excited, shouting with a twisted expression.
When faced with the amazing qualities of his "Horde Lord" Title, he simply couldn't help himself.
[Ding! Horde Minion #1 (Unnamed) has leveled up from 1 → 2]
[Minion #1's Stats all increased by 0.1]
[1 Free Minion Stat Point available to be allocated for Minion #1]
"Good, good," Von nodded as he witnessed a transformative change in his Minion's power. "Put that entire Stat Point into Agility. And also, set Minion Leveling to automatic."
Clicking yes every time a Minion needed a level up would soon become tedious, just like in his past life. Easier to just set everything to automatic.
BLING!
[Minion #1's Agility Stat has increased by a value of One!]
[Automatic Minion Leveling has been activated!]
"Set Minion Free Stat Point allocation to automatic as well, with everything going into Agility for now."
[Automatic Minion Free Stat Point Allocation has been activated!]
After all that, Von raised a hand and added two more Level 2 Goblins to his Horde. Then, with an eerily pleased smile, he opened up his System Interface by saying "Open Panel".
BLING!

"Hmm…? Wait, what!?"
Von wasn't one to freak out, but this was just too unbelievable!
What was this 2nd Title!?
The Origin Sea's Chaos Seed??
When did it appear!?
Why!??
"Why have things changed in the timeline!?"
Unlike his normal self, Von frantically searched for the Title's description.
When he found it, he was astonished by what he saw.
[Unique Title: Origin Sea's Chaos Seed (??? Rank)] -
[Description:
In the beginning, there existed only silence.
But one day, a single droplet formed in the endless nothingness.
From that droplet, a boundless sea came into existence.
A sea that had no boundaries.
A sea that stretched on forever.
It was known as the—Origin Sea.
From this endless expanse of cosmic perplexities, the concept of life solidified.
At first, living beings were simply curious. They explored and built things. They loved and made love.
They were sentient through and through—and they enjoyed every moment of it.
But the hearts of living creatures were the most complicated of constructs.
And from the heart of one race in particular—Humankind—something other than simple curiosity festered.
It transcended mortal emotions. Beyond hate. Beyond love.
It came to be known as…
"Chaos," Von muttered, his eyes glued to the enthralling description.
[Description Extended:
Despite the efforts of countless Races to fend off Chaos, in the end, it always consumed everything in its path.
Feeding off of the negativity in the Cosmos and the bloodlust from an innumerable number of wars, Chaos ultimately ascended beyond its limits.
It even gained physical form—and from that moment on, everything in the Origin Sea experienced an upheaval.
For many trillions of years, those deeply intertwined with the Origin Sea lived in constant fear.
They feared Chaos.
They feared that their Civilization might be the next on the chopping block to fall to its tyranny.
However, during one year that seemed no different from those that came before, something… changed.
This change spread throughout the Origin Sea like a tsunami.
It was unknown what this change was—or where it originated from—but it was because of it that Chaos just… stopped.
Universes quit being arbitrarily wiped off the map. Races ceased their endless, senseless wars.
The world then unknowingly entered an Era of Peace.
All without anyone figuring out what really happened to Chaos.]
"Then this Title…"
[It is the Seed of that very same Chaos.]
"!?!"
Von's existence shook.
A voice!?
From where??
WAAA!
Appearing before Von's wide eyes was an entity without form. Yet, within it contained every possible construct imaginable—as if it was the Blueprint to reality itself.
It was black, maybe?
Von was unable to determine its true appearance, for it had none.
"Who are you!? No, what are you!?"
Von's danger senses were ringing like never before.
Even when facing the Cosmic Ancients, he didn't feel even a millionth of what he was experiencing right now!
What was even happening!?
