So… yeah, things could be a bit more concrete, and Jake was sure he had missed something obvious. Jake wouldn’t call himself super creative, as most of the unique Creations he made were something he kind of stumbled into. He hoped that could happen again inside this Challenge Dungeon, but if not, he would just have to ...
“Definitely look into crafting some,” the Viper said with certainty. “I am not even saying you need to make use of them, just create them. Creating a Grimoire takes a lot of effort and a high level of comprehension of your own Path and the Records that is behind every concept. The skill helps tremendously, but you will...
He agreed with her. The two of them hadn’t steered them wrong yet so he would listen to their advice. He took the token in his hands and fingered it for a moment before closing his eyes and activating it. A note from l-Ryn-l Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! If you wish to read ahead by 25 chapters, ple...
It had needed no more input or guidance from Jake. From the moment he had poured in the Origin Energy, it had known exactly what to do. Now, this is where the second major oversight of this ritual reared its ugly head. Once the Cerulean Devil Heart was fully formed, it returned to a state of what it once was. It obtai...
The men weren’t completely stupid. They understood that something was wrong and began to channel some mana through their bodies. Julius allowed them since he was still hiding his aura and didn’t want to reveal it just to disrupt their skill. However, before the men could pull out the swords at their sides, he had alre...
This time, he recognized the feeling. He'd gotten the exact same feeling back when he first explored the Karmian Well. That meant that the labyrinth had changed somehow, either at Imrys's hand or simply because they'd destroyed the Labyrinth Seed. Fascinating. Cale thought about the implications of all this for a mome...
But even with the help of the spellslate network, teleporting in and out of the Hive was impossible. Anything they tried to teleport, spell anchors or not, was mangled beyond recognition. That was the reason spellslates needed to be manually transported via boat, though Serof suspected they wouldn't have wasted the pre...
The mage continued to look like he was thinking before he suddenly seemed to realize as he pulled out a list from his spatial storage. He quickly looked at it as his eyes opened wide. “I was right…” “What?” the commander asked. “The Nevermore Leaderboards,” the mage muttered. Frowning, the commander wondered what th...
The fight went rather easy, as Jake had predicted. Bertram easily tanked the biggest deer and even an additional one, while Theodore, Jacob, and Dennis took on one each. The final two deer-like things had already been killed or disabled by the initial barrage, making the fight effectively five versus nine, with Jake no...
“I know no man with such a name, Your Majesty.” Simon’s tongue clicked in his mouth. “I am no ruler,” he said, “and the world mustn’t know either.” “Yes, yes, of course, worry not. My daughter and I are not social people. We mostly keep, should I say…” Duchar chuckled. “Dead silent company.” Good grief, was that wha...
Light poured out of the beast’s gullet in the form of a mighty beam which Simon’s steed barely managed to dodge at the last second. The beam surged across the horizon without hitting anything, but Simon could feel the sheer heat radiating from it dozens of meters away. “Destroy…” the thing which had been Casval roared...
”Yeah, in a bit under a month. Go there and see how it feels to not have a god living rent-free in your head,” Jake said. ”Or better yet, evict that god here and now and renounce your Blessing. I am not going to tell you what to do, but I will give you one warning. I don’t care if Eversmile or the entire fucking collec...
[Heretic’s Offering of the Malefic Viper (Legendary)] – To infringe upon the domain of the Malefic Viper and rob the Primordial’s Records is a great achievement. Allows the alchemist to make an offer to the Malefic Viper and be granted an Offering Fragment. Based on the value of the Records and energy in the offering, ...
One might view the way the Holy Church operated as insane or even evil when evaluated with Earth’s morals… but the numbers simply didn’t lie. A system event like this Prima Guardian one was far from the first of its kind that had happened during the integration of a new universe, and in all those prior, the Holy Church...
What’s more, a few kilometers away, a massive, mostly white white tower had appeared, standing at least a kilometer tall. At its top, a glowing white orb sat, and from it, a barrier fell to form a massive transparent bubble all around the tower with a radius of a kilometer or so. The design of the building gave clear m...
What a bitch. And here Simon thought she was slightly better adjusted than Thalas. Simon strongly considered using Lord of the Demon Castle to teleport and trap her in an underground vault in order to get rid of her, but Thalas and Euphemia would quickly investigate her disappearance. Silencing her permanently wasn’t a...
20% House of the Architect, showing his ingenious creative mind. Nobody needed to know he had exploited much within this Challenge Dungeon. 20% Endless Journey, proving that even if he was a Chosen, he could also show humility and adapt… assuming that is what he had actually done, and not merely made use of his Bloodl...
“I hope I don’t need to elaborate on how I expect things to go from here? Let the kid go back to his family, and if I see or hear of even a single attempt to coerce or force him into doing anything, that will be the final day of the Aloft Empire. Am I clear?”the god asked the kneeling Emperor. “Y… yes, I-“ “Great, we...
It didn’t matter if he knew that people still wanted him dead. Last night had been fun, and he couldn’t believe it, but he was kind of hoping it would happen again. Lily would smack him so hard if she could hear his thoughts right now. He was sure the rest of them would be lining up too. He laughed once more to himse...
They were decent enough for their levels, and Jake guessed they would be able to kill the Prima Guardian, especially with all the people they had to help and the formation below… but Jake wasn’t at the same level as these Prima Guardians. Especially not now that they were weaker than when the event first began. “You s...
“Nah, Lady Rebecca knows I wouldn’t do anything to harm her family. She trusts me. Remember, she was the one who took me off the streets,” the guard said reassuringly while giving Danny a pat on the back. “And she won’t ask why?” “Of course, she will, but she also will understand you want to stay anonymous. Which I d...
Jake purposefully held himself back from using a Pulse of Perception to allow him to take in everything a bit at a time. Looking at the banana musa, Jake went over to it for a quick inspection. There were a few bananas growing on it, and the magic circle Mystie had placed a long time ago was gone with time. Size-wise, ...
Killing a random planet of D-grades could also have other unwanted implications. Karma was a powerful thing, and no one knew if some random A-grade had once been born there or maybe some god had recently just come by and liked the place a lot a few millennia earlier, and your decision to blow it up annoyed them. The s...
“I… see,” Jake sighed, feeling really shitty that his bad decision-making dealt collateral damage to the Unique Lifeform. He had always fully supported the King’s intentions of entirely splitting off from Jake, but before, he hadn’t really seen it as anything with urgency. Now, he hoped the Fallen King would figure out...
Back then, Jake didn’t really think much about transmutation. He was a bit busy with the whole not-dying thing and had found himself too busy to pick up the skill. With all the other skills also coming along, he had never picked it up until he eventually upgraded Touch of the Malefic Viper. Would this skill benefit hi...
He gave an awkward expression toward them. “I was hoping that you would let me make these stops by myself. There are some people who I haven’t seen or let know about my disappearance who might be worried about me.” “No offense, but I am not letting you out of my sight,” Stella said bluntly. “Why’s that? We’re practic...
A few hours went by. Several monsters beset him during this period. However, none of them were as strong as the monsters he had faced the day prior. He didn’t know he had been in a hazardous area or what, but the monsters who attacked him weren’t that impressive compared to the area before. He shot several needles thr...
After that, Carmen had gotten drunk on the best damn alcohol she had ever had in her life. The mead not only been damn tasty but also helped her body somehow properly adapt better to its changes. In the end, she had walked away not just with good taste in her mouth but a Divine Blessing from Valdemar – which was a bit ...
“Well, let me show you where the ingredients, pots, pans, and the like are. I just ask that you don’t mess up my organization.” Mari led the way to the back of the kitchen. She pointed at a metal panel with an inset ring in the ground. “That’s the cellar. All the ingredients are in there. After you go down and get what...
He took a deep breath, then turned to his apprentices. "Okay," he said. "It's time to talk about how mana cores really work." A note from SilverLinings Sometimes when I rewrite chapters I end up stuffing them with more esoteric lore. This is one of those chapters! A little bit, anyway. Magical Fun Fact: Orbs are tru...
They each had a simple plate of food, a pretty light fare compared to what Julius had decided to get. They each had a fruit, some sort of yogurt, and a glass of some sort of green drink. Edgar had told him to choose Physical Training for the morning session yesterday, he expected that he must’ve done the same and was e...
Cale sighed. "I really hope Julia gets back soon," he repeated. * * * Julia did, thankfully, return within about three minutes. Cale was glad for it, because by that time the voidcyte had started leaking, and he wasn't sure he wanted to know how or why it was doing this. There had, in fact, been a faction amongst th...
The famine in Trok that he’d helped to ameliorate. The war from beyond the ocean where he’d saved countless lives and helped keep the whole kingdom from falling into ruin. The Red Tide, a plague that killed thousands, which he’d been able to help quell. All those experiences had hardened him. His resolve was unwaverin...
During those weeks, he had gone back to that same Tier 3 rift a few times. To his immense concern, he didn’t experience any growth during that period other than his new [Flash Step] skill. [Flash Step lvl 2 -> lvl 5] However, even that was outrageously slow. For how much he was using it, he expected more for a low le...
Turning to Bobby for answers instead, the man sighed. “Where do you want me to begin? I’m sometimes amazed how much can happen in a week… either way, a quick overview is that the Order is getting openly fucked in the rest of the multiverse while your alliance is getting subtly fucked in the Milky Way Galaxy, though thi...
He quickly removed his arm from the space and was ecstatic when he was still able to feel the distortion on the other side. The connection was still very present and it was so much easier to hold it open than the one in front of him. It almost felt like it would continue to stay open unless he willed it to close. A ve...
The Cradle had been out of his possession for more than a year and a half, yet when he checked it out, the inside looked just like it had when he entered the Challenge Dungeon. He guessed that time inside had been frozen by the system during his absence, which was probably for the best. Jake could already imagine someo...
Maybe he'd be able to make a spell for that on Utelia, actually. That seemed like something that would be valuable. "Just to be sure, you can't just go back to your creator to get it fixed?" Cale asked. Syphus shook its head. "Not for another thousand years." Cale paused. "Literally, or..." "Literally, yes." "Righ...
Its aura began to grow rapidly as the chains all around Jake shattered and turned into energy. Jake could only stare at the wriggling mass of flesh as fewer and fewer chains hooked into its body, and the flesh wriggled, grew, and began to take shape as its level just kept increasing. During all this, Jake kept intermit...
Jake and Ell’Hakan clashed as stars met arcane, massive explosions of multi-colored light and Jake’s destructive arcane energy enveloping them as they kept fighting despite the constant explosions happening all around. This cascade of explosions ended up distracting Ell’Hakan far more than Jake as he found himself bli...
He had never seen the boy caught off guard yet. He wouldn’t be surprised if Julius already noticed the snake that was hiding on the rocky surface just up ahead. And he was quickly proven right. Declan watched as Julius created a mana construct over his shoulder with casual ease. It was almost terrifying seeing the pro...
Miranda slowly walked over as she saw the not-D-grade-bird summon wind magic to cut the tree into their desired shape as they slowly assembled a nest-like structure on top of it. “What is going on here?” she asked, confusion clear on her face. “Ah… well, the Galesong Hawk is my friend Hawkie, and the other one is Mys...
Cale had been on Utelia for barely a handful of days and had already seen the fingerprints of the Red Hunters in every nearly disaster and atrocity he'd encountered. It was at the hands of the Red Commander that the Icon of Battle was broken and enslaved. It was through him that Angus's soul had been torn apart, used a...
“I am a scion of the Dark,” Simon replied. The local creatures all appeared to fall under his sway, including the treant, which meant they couldn’t be above level twenty-eight. Which made sense, since the imperial army would have already firebombed the area if it contained anything too dangerous. “I came at the Muse’s ...
Followed by a third, a fourth, and soon, an entire week had passed by, at which point Jake no longer felt grateful he had some extra time but pure confusion about what the hell was going on. Enough to contact Miranda directly to ask if she had somehow missed telling him there were no red planets left. However, the resp...
In Tiella’s case, tonight was one of the few moments when she would be able to have a degree of freedom in her life without someone watching over her shoulder. No wonder Anna felt guilty about preventing her from attending the academy. “Well…” Simon took Anna’s hand into his own. “I swear you will have no cause to reg...
Draskil shrugged at his response. “This lesson is boring. You also think that?” “Oh, that isn’t a complicated answer. Yeah, very much a waste of time with no real information for me or you. But it seems like it is good info for many,” Jake said. “Hm,” Draskil just hummed as he fell silent again for a few moments befo...
That day he got quite a few levels, and his skill even upgraded two times, becoming a rare skill. He even got a new rare skill upon reaching level 5. It was all fascinating. The days ticked by, and a routine was formed. The days were quiet for the most part, with only other humans really offering issues. They discover...
Another thing he quickly noticed was the light mist or fog in his surroundings. Oddly enough, the mist stopped a few millimeters from his skin, and when he breathed in, he felt nothing different. Just as he was starting to wonder why the system had brought him here, he felt something. Turning to the side, he knew some...
“No… I don’t see much to reflect on from that last test, is there?” Jake answered. Also, all of his resources were topped up as he had just been meditating, and his natural regeneration vastly outstripped the expenditure. He wasn’t even mentally tired as it had all been rather relaxing. Making Eternal Hunger had been ...
The Augur nodded. “Don’t take my word lightly. This is perhaps the most impactful choice you’ll ever make.” Ell’Hakan waved him off, the Augur turning around and walking toward the gate leading out of the throne room. However, just before exiting, he stopped and looked back at Ell’Hakan. “You still underestimate him…...
This acid he had been working on was an improved version of the Adaptable Arcane Acid he had submitted in the House of the Architect. The Arcane Acid he had made then was pretty good, but it did come with some pretty severe limitations, such as the limit of only being able to switch “target” once. That was the first th...
In his weird soul-form, he floated through nothingness for a while until he and Sylphie both came to a stop. Jake was a bit surprised at Sylphies form. While Jake looked pretty much the same, except a bit more transparent, Sylphie looked like an ever-changing green creature of wind that eventually settled on her old sh...
*You have slain [Human (E) - lvl 28 / Apprentice Spearman of Embers - lvl 41 / Builder – lvl 16] – A small amount of bonus experience earned for killing an enemy with a class above your class level. 624.458 TP earned* That… was the red-robed man with the spear. What the hell? How did he die? Jake did land a Touch of t...
She told him that some people went dozens of years without ever touching upon a Space Concept. While some were able to learn spatial skills, the actual acquisition of a Space Concept was on a different level. So even with his likely high affinity for it, he was still going to find it hard. Not to mention that he was s...
And speaking of his chest… he had to admit that he looked good. Jake had always had a rather lithe figure, having to spend a lot of time to stay in shape for his archery. The habits of regular exercise and healthy eating had luckily stuck with him after the accident that stopped his pursuit of going pro. His current b...
He could ask Shabram to make Eole ‘disappear’ and secretly release her somewhere else, but there was a risk she would run back to Telluria or get caught by the Cobweb rather than return to her people’s sanctuary. Voltobauta had apparently been on the lookout for a kish to capture, too. Simon doubted Eole would believe ...
“Of course, I already promised you…” William nodded. He owed him that for helping him, right? The Smith had done far more for him during this tutorial than Richard or anyone else. He had helped him learn to smith, patiently guided him, and now he was even making this armor for him. He felt like he owed it to him. “Tha...
Not that it mattered that much, in the end. Cale had shared mostly in the hopes that he could learn more about what had happened to humanity, but even while under the effects of his barrier, there wasn't much Akkau could offer him other than reassurance and understanding. He had no memory of any other species undergoin...
What following truly wasn’t a fight. It was just Jake constantly running over the possibilities of the hawks dying in his head. He knew it was a risk. A constant one. It came with the territory of seeking more power, but that didn’t mean Jake liked it. Not at all. Was beating what most would consider a boss monster ha...
Some rules of the system were known to be absolute… and the line between mortality and immortality was one of them. It was a fundamental law for a reason and one that had never been broken in the history of the multiverse, as far as Jake knew. At least… as for as he knew before his meeting with Eron. Because the other ...
“But I understand what you’re getting at. Reality and fiction, especially when dealing with figures as powerful as Primordials, can be hard to distinguish for everyone, with no one truly knowing what they’re capable of doing or planning. If those on Earth have no reason to believe you were lying about it all being part...
Jake’s eyes bulged quite a bit when he read the stats given by the class… 32 total was just insane. His own Ambitious Hunter only gave 18 per level in comparison. Well, he did have a cheat of a profession making up for it a bit… but still. However, as he read on, Jake began to feel quite a lot better about not being a...
They stared at each other, waiting for the fight to begin. When the signal was given, Julius was surprised to see that Liam didn’t attack him straight away. Instead, the Abram’s Scion took control of a shit ton of mana. Julius was quite surprised by how potent it felt despite the short channeling time. A blast of ice-...
“Let the battle begin!” As everyone seemed to expect the King to blast the weak-looking old man away the moment the announcer declared the match had begun, the Unique Lifeform instead spoke. “Ah, you are done dealing with the invader?” “Yes, I came to fetch you,” the old man smiled. “Very well,” the Fallen King nodd...
Before today, Jake had fought only one being that was higher level than the Count. The Heartwarden in the Undergrowth dungeon had been 162, seven levels above this vampire. If Jake were honest, he would say they were about even. Both were a bit strong… but not truly powerful for their level. The Altmar Census Golem was...
While it was expected that someone of the enlightened species was stronger than monsters, it wasn’t a rule, far from it. Priscilla didn’t like to admit it, but Lyra was stronger than her in pretty much every way when it came to a straight-on confrontation. Her race was incredibly powerful, and something equally importa...
He saw that Professor Rowe was about to intervene, but the man held back when he saw that Reniera wasn’t caught off guard. She created a dome of chains surrounding the creature and collapsed onto it. This seemed to work and the chains grappled the squirrel as it struggled against the bonds. For a moment, Julius thou...
He was barely able to channel mana through his body when a sudden flash of light blew right by him. An explosion rang out from behind him. He slowly turned around and looked at the chaos. Julius had sent one single spike at the mage who had attacked him from behind—just one spike. However, that spike had been so powe...
”I am aware you are speaking about me,” the King interrupted, being all scary by picking up on them speaking telepathically. ”Incredibly interesting, this place. We appear to be within the Soulshape, and yet at the same time not. Some undefined space, perhaps?” ”Yeah, I was just about to tell Sandy who you are,” Jake ...
“That’s…” Meira said, fidgeting with her hands. She knew that her Teacher repeatedly said he wasn’t that good at lower grades, but… she had a hard time seeing it. Because today, no one would dispute he was one of the premier alchemists in the entire multiverse. How could he possibly have struggled to produce products a...
Rejoining the alliance was easy enough. The World Leader just had to return. Without them acting as Key Holders, the event simply couldn’t function normally… but some World Leaders didn’t care. They had abandoned their planets for good and looked to greener pastures elsewhere in the multiverse, leaving all those who on...
It also had the benefit of his arcane-affinity, easily integrating with it and absorbing it entirely. It only took him a few hours and a handful of swords before he had his first success. And not a “this blade will break apart in a few hours”-success, but an actual creation. It even came with a new notification he had ...
Professor Graystalk was understandably rather hesitant to discuss his condition, but he'd eventually divulged a few small details. Syphus was still considering those details when it reached the cafeteria and nudged it open. The fire was a normal enough state of things that it wasn't particularly worried. An angry-loo...
Cale put a hand on Kazza's shoulder before the lizardfolk could say anything else. He could tell the poor guy was about to have either an outburst or another breakdown. "She's a politician," he said with a stage whisper. "That's just kind of how they are. I wouldn't worry too much about it. It hurts my head to think th...
In an act of desperation, the Count shrieked again, and his claw began glowing red as he tried to land a possibly lethal blow. Jake responded by freezing the large monster with Gaze simultaneously, completely ruining his opponent’s momentum. Seeing his chance, Jake kicked the Count hard in the chest the moment he could...
“Don’t you get it?” Jake said as he dodged the weak attempt from the man to defend himself easily before kicking the Monarch in the stomach, making him tumble back. “You’ve stagnated. Reached the end of your potential.” “Your words…” the Lightning Monarch said as he stood back up again with a groan, “shall not shake m...
But Jake wasn’t fighting for control. It was a losing battle from the beginning, as his connection was far too weak. Besides, he didn’t need it. He just needed to break it from within. Corrupt it. Something he was more than capable of. The dark beam continued to feed energy into the moon as it started darkening. Feste...
“Stop,” Jake said, raising a hand. “I’m not gonna abandon any of my friends or family as long as I’m still breathing. No arguments. And right now, I’m pretty damn sure I’m still drawing breath.” Vesperia looked like she wanted to comment but ended up just nodding. Miranda seemed done sending messages and looked at Jak...
[Soul Renewal (Unique)] – A bottle of Soul Renewal offered directly by the system due to Earth’s performance during the Treasure Hunt event. Soul Renewal is able to heal any wound to the soul and restore any ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ damage or temporary affliction imposed upon it, including afflictions of the Truesoul. R...
During the fight, Jake had been smart enough to drink potions to limit his downtime once done, so he would soon be ready to go again. More than resources, he needed to relax his mind after the fight as he sat in meditation for a good fifteen minutes while thinking over all of those experience-related things and going t...
He quickly chugged a healing potion and entered meditation as Jake considered what kind of bullshit skill had been used on him. It did not seem like something a D-grade should be capable of at all. Was it due to that orb? The ritual circle? Or was it just a skill of an insanely high rarity? It had Yore in the name, so ...
“It’s just the luck of the draw,” Joshua tried to cheer her up. “I know that, but I guess I kind of felt that we have done a good job as a team so far, which might have given us an extra privilege. You know what I mean?” Nessa said with a frown. “I feel the same way,” Tia added. “I really thought that we might have b...
“We are going to work on you getting used to your bodies first. That is going to be one of the most important things to work on. As of now, you guys are both physically stronger, but until you train you won’t be able to control or even properly leverage this new power,” Rebecca explained. “How are we going to do that?...
By now, Jake had pretty much resigned himself to getting a shit evaluation for doing this Challenge Dungeon. The advice he had gotten from both Villy and the Wyrmgod didn’t really help him much, as both just boiled down to being himself… but hey, maybe that actually meant he was doing super well and was on his way to t...
A random newly evolved D-grade attacking someone like Jake, more likely than not, wouldn’t do any damage at all. That is to say, you could get a million of the same guy and have them all attack, and unless they used some means to combine their attacks through rituals or formations, none of them would cause any harm. Ja...
To the surprise of many, the alien invaders that the United Cities Alliance worked with did nothing during this time. They were spotted here and there and did, in some rare instances, step in and help protect cities from attacks. Even then, no one knew what their goal was. The faction with the biggest change was the N...
“I said leave,” Julius said sharply, no longer being polite. The swordsman’s practiced smile slipped from his face, and he stared at Julius with a vexed expression. “If you don’t want to do it the easy way, then we can just take what we want instead,” he said with a nasty snarl. “That’s better,” Julius said with a s...
“Did I not say what the reward for my resurrection would be? It is I. It has always been so. Circumventing death is no simple task… and in order to do so, I needed a shackle. A bond. One you created the moment you chose to bind the mask to your soul, allowing me to anchor my existence.” “But I am the owner of the mask...
“Yes, but I also was the one who actually captured the Tier 5 and Julius. I should be the one who gets to take them in with you.” Julius frowned as he heard them discuss things but had to interrupt. “Wait, what do you mean by taking me in?” The two of them looked over at him. “Isn’t that obvious? We are going to ta...
An experience-boosting Perk would serve me for the rest of my life if I could obtain it with Devour Crestone, Simon thought. The earlier I find the right Crestone, the better. “Do you know how I could access one of those Classes?” “The Adventurer belongs to the Kingdom of Lore, so they have a near monopoly on its Vass...
Third and finally were those who were just in too deep. These were the World Leaders and factions who had fully bought into Ell’Hakan’s story and joined him as much as one possibly could. Even if they weren’t delusion to the level of insanity, many of these World Leaders still refused to back down and wanted to stay fi...
”The Silenced was merely following orders and was perhaps a bit… {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} overzealous in their approach. Capture was ordered as a preferential resolution, but it seems like that was far beyond the capabilities of the Silenced,”the disembodied voice answered. ”However, that matter has already concluded. Rathe...
“In a moment you will all be split up into your respective groups. During this time each of you will have a turn fighting a monster that we have captured for you to fight. These monsters are not real rift or naturally spawned monsters. They are monsters created by our school’s summoners. While they are technically unde...
As they left the room, he did his best to engage the young teen in a conversation. He asked seemingly innocent questions about what he liked to do as hobbies and what kind of food he liked to enjoy. However, he couldn’t help but chuckle when Julius only gave him curt responses. It would seem Kuro’s actions had made the...
It was good to finally catch up with everyone, despite it not being that long for many of them. Jacob did feel a bit out of place at times, but he took the constant jabs at the Church with grace, recognizing the faction was problematic. A lot of blasphemy was definitely going on, that was for sure. On a side note, th...
“You revolutionize Trok and Bhlast—a Meritocracy across the mountains. You make mana-fueled technology like trains, and even have an orbital platform where you keep a teleportation array. But that takes a good ten years to make. Heck, you even have a satellite array with fucking lasers that let you blast baddies from a...
The Nest Watcher was more or less the Hive King in this scenario, defending the mothers of the next generation. That case had been even more lopsided with the Incubators back then not even able to defend themselves, being little more than breeding machines. Jake shelved the thoughts as he just focused on healing himse...
Her words proved true as two men wearing medium armor and sheathed swords entered, not even a minute later. Two minutes after that, a man and two women came, and five minutes after that, Sultan arrived. The room kept filling up, and close to the half-hour mark, Lillian entered, practically dragging Arnold, who had his ...
He could now even conjure a steel-like metal out of mana, which he mainly practiced by conjuring daggers. Which meant he didn’t have to carry around a bunch of them all the time. Though he still always had a couple on him, as manipulating existing ones was less mana-intensive than making them. Conjured metal also disa...
