Only thing in the notes is recall. I looked back through the text as well, and no signs of additional elixirs for Bedelia. You could fix that with a retcon. However, wouldn't Bedelia with RECALL+CON+WILLPOWER be a great combo? :-)

2024-03-20 21:11:21 +0000 UTCAs for where he started, I am not sure what I am going to do yet. Lower tier 4 seems more appropriate for the story and slow advancement. I am just not ready for a rewrite

2024-03-20 12:31:24 +0000 UTCHis current core is 4.029, it is ticking up slowly with abilities

2024-03-20 12:29:37 +0000 UTCI am rolling back his max potential core to 5.77. The chapter notes help me find it, thanks

2024-03-20 12:28:35 +0000 UTCCool chapter! Thanks! I'm having a hard time keeping the stats straight for Caleb's core. I have three questions: What was Caleb's starting core? Was it 4.004 (making him a Tier 5 demon) or 3.03 (making him Tier 4)? In a comment to Chapter 56 on SH you indicated it was 3.03. What is his current core? What is his core maximum potential? Is it 4.029 as indicated in this chapter or is it 6.77 as described in chapter 102?

2024-03-17 19:49:54 +0000 UTCA few chapters back Caleb was pounding out elixirs and something occurred to me - Bedelia only has recall. She could take two more, but so far that hasn’t happened. Will that change?

2024-03-17 19:03:38 +0000 UTCwhen I added this I had planned on the doppleganger being projected and replacing the MC while he was looking for Andromeda but couldn't do it because he didn't have the capacity for projection. one of the things Andromeda will give him after rescuing her

2024-03-17 18:48:34 +0000 UTCsee this is what happens when you write 4 stories at once! for some reason the doppleganger was never entered on my excel spreadsheet and I forgot about her! thanks for the reminder.

2024-03-17 18:47:08 +0000 UTCI'm really confused. What did this mean in Chapter 135? --- Lilith frowned at the question, “It is not that simple. I told you that. The most important factor is making sure the construct is still tied to your mind space. I could make a ritual circle now and send a construct to the real world. But the construct would dissipate after the invested aether runs out and cannot return to the mind space—it would be destroyed. I am basically creating an entirely new ritual.” “Okay, just keep working on it,” I dropped the topic and focused on the rib in my hand. I focused on the rib and created a new construct from the material. It dissolved in my hand. I was not expecting the humanoid that formed before me. A tall, dark gray-skinned feminine body stood erect before me. She had no hair and looked—unattractive. Her bones were visible, and besides breasts, she was absent of genitalia. Pandora inspected her, “She looks like a one. Maybe a two if she smiled. No, I am being too generous, definitely not even a one.” I ignored her comments and prepared to instill the life essence into the construct. I wanted this construct to embody my humanity. I focused on my love for my parents. The bond I had with my sister. My protective nature for Abigail. My past friendship with Rob. My willingness to help Iris find her parents. All the good things I associated with being compassionate and caring human. The essence was invested, and the doppelganger blinked and looked around in a slow circle. She turned back to me, and her body transformed into my mother. My jaw did not work, and I finally said, “No. No, not that. Never be her ever again in here.” The doppelganger switched back to her natural form. I inhaled as I felt the oppression from what my mother might think of me if she knew what I was and did. “You are here to serve as a body double for me so I can change my clothes when needed.” The doppelganger switched into a body that mirrored mine—albeit naked. It was my adult Caleb’s body, and I was actually impressed with it, and so was Pandora, “It is about time! The estrogen levels in here were off the chart!” Unabashedly, Pandora got down on her knees to inspect the doppelganger’s resting phallus. She looked up into the eyes of the new construct, “You are my new favorite person! What is your name?” I answered, “Aria, it means change in Italian. I looked it up before coming in here, but if you are going to be in my male body, maybe we should come up with something else,” I rationalized. ---

2024-03-17 18:29:31 +0000 UTCwhat about aria? or whatever her name is, the doppleganger? also... did the amount his life essence cap go up change? before it was 10 per 100 invested, and I figured 404 was a typo... but if he went to "450" then it must have been sigle digits... that's rough

Erick Thiemke
2024-03-15 22:00:26 +0000 UTCWhile we're on the topics of constructs, are we going to be hearing any more from Aria? She doesn't seem to get as involved in the "internal dialog" as Lilith, Pandora, and Nashima.

2024-03-15 21:36:21 +0000 UTCit is foreshadowing....

2024-03-15 01:48:01 +0000 UTCI can’t tell if that bit with Lilith was a good thing or bad thing, but it seems like a foreshadowing thing.
