Chapter 241: Slimenap
Colors crashed and blurred together as we were ripped from one location to another. I felt myself barely holding on after being transferred to Alpha after the death by teleportation storage and, to my regret, could still feel the lingering damage from the soulfire.
Vee was yelling incoherently, or perhaps my senses were failing me as we were hurled an immense distance away from Dhoggurum. Our elf captor seemed fine and utterly unaware of wh...

Chapter 58 - Trouble
Oz hurried to Lily's side. The bunny girl, with her shortness of breath and a rather scuffed-up appearance, was a troublesome sight to behold. It had been a while since he last saw her, and he couldn't help but wonder if this was the same girl he'd met back then. She had been tiny, almost malnourished, but now she merely looked small and petite.
He quickly reviewed what he could, and from what he could tell, she had suffered no sign...

Chapter 57 - Conflict
Lily tried again to remove her hand from her pocket, but her arm wouldn't budge. Tim was just far too strong.
Has he been copying what Rose did to get stronger? Lily thought with fear.
If he'd been solo hunting gremlins or other monsters, then who knew how strong he was now? The boys had mentioned a pack of gremlins, and if Tim had killed them all… Lily shuddered.
Her frantic thoughts had her briefly consider jus...

Chapter 56 - Another Adventure
"Oh, so I give you your Mana potion, and now you don't want anything to do with little old me anymore? I'm outraged and, quite frankly, shocked! I thought I raised you better than this!" Camilla scoffed.
Lily was flabbergasted. She never expected Camilla to act like this at the simple request for an afternoon off.
"I haven't even used the Mana potion! Plus, I want more!" Lily defended herself.
"Oh, I see, so it's extort...

Chapter 55 - Attunement
The final marking began forming on Lily's Mana Core. She held her breath in anticipation as the vacant spot began to carve out the arcane mark of the Waning Crescent Moon.
Instinctually, she knew something would happen when it was completed, and the anticipation and excitement were palpable. It took all of her effort to maintain her focus and ensure she finished the last step with flying colors.
The moment of transformation was a si...

Chapter 54 - Moons
Three weeks passed as Lily waited for the New Moon. While nothing too eventful happened, she had made some good progress on all her various fronts.
Her Moonlight spell was upgraded from grape to apple, and she could precisely direct the moonbeam in her intended direction. Lily appreciated the spell now that it was more usable and less novelty, and even used it on one of the rare nights when she decided to sneak out and hunt a slime or gremlin....

Chapter 53 - Explanations
The next new moon wasn't anytime soon, so Lily had ample time to prepare herself. Which was good because this was far different from the last one.
She was faced with a new challenge; memorizing eight smaller mantras instead of a single meditation mantra. Each one was manageable independently, but the combined complexity required her utmost precision.
Each mini mantra also had an arcane shape she had to memorize, which was th...

Chapter 52 - Stars
Briskly walking with the swirling nebula cloak flowing behind her made Lily feel like she was some sort of knightly lord, more so than a young and budding mage looking for some small monsters to cultivate her Mana Core.
If she was honest with herself, this experience made her feel like she had accomplished what she sought. This truly made her feel like she had become a Mage and had her chance of being accepted into Regarth.
Rose was ...

Practice, practice, practice. That was all that went through Lily's mind. She was shocked at how much she managed to dedicate to it now that she had proper motivation. None of her other studies even came close to this level of focus.
Learning the Moonlight spell was extremely difficult despite having a good mental image of what she needed to accomplish. The spell would manifest a magical moon, which then would be the source of the directed li...

"There! I gave you all my Mana since I'm going to bed," Lily declared proudly.
Arakil wanted to sigh and scold her, but with such youthful innocence, he had to restrain himself. She genuinely thought she was doing the right thing, and it had worked out despite his paranoia.
[That was an incredibly risky move, Lily. But thank you. I will put this donation to good use.]

Chapter 49 - Twin Spirals
"Ugh… That woman…" Lily grumbled as she tiredly walked to her room.
True to her word, Camilla had basically drained her dry of Mana until she was practically swimming in potions. On one hand, she was happy to have the imbuing practice, but having her Mana emptied out left her fatigued and hungry. Her stomach growled in agreement.
"People are going to think I'm getting fat with how much more I'm eating lately…" Lily whispered...

Lily pored over the instructions with unwavering determination. This was her chance to master a new spell, a challenge she was ready to embrace. The unfamiliar chant and the complex finger wiggles in Arakil's illustrations were like a puzzle she was determined to solve.
She repeated the chant in her head a few times before saying it out loud. Arakil was particularly critical of her enunciation, prompting her to ask a question.

When Lily awoke, Arakil informed her. She felt extremely disheartened that she couldn't help him more tangibly at the moment.

TLDR:
Syl paused until March 17th.
Bookbound Bunny continuing.
Billing paused for 1 month.
Please Note: It's come to my attention that you cannot upgrade your pledge during a billing pause.
Had two people reach out to me about buying the $5 tier to read 10 chapters ahead and then being unable to upgrade to the $10 tier.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Hey everyone, I hope you're having a great weekend.

Despite Camilla promising to wring her dry, the next two days surprisingly benefitted Lily. Her increased Mana Core meant she was left with enough to still function, while Camilla thought the girl was putting in 120% effort.
Time flew by, and the day of fetching her wooden meditation board, a crucial tool for her magical training, soon came. Camilla escorted Lily to and from the shop, and Jeff happily gave her the finished product. H...

Trixie sighed as she headed towards Thern's place. She didn't feel like being an errand pixie but made an exception this time. She really didn't want to deal with the elves, potentially be dragged into some official business for the Fairy Queen, and then be obligated to follow through.

Lily made an exaggerated dry heaving noise and then vigorously shook her head, her big bunny ears flopping wildly.

Entering the mansion was quite the spectacle. It really felt like we had been transported away from the dwarven city and were now in a miniature forest home.

As she had estimated, she had only one more outing with Rose. After spending an entire afternoon scouring for monsters, they d...

Hi all, hope you're all doing well.
So, Syl book 3 wraps up on Friday, chapter 240, and I need to take a break.
Since I started Syl on Royal Road, I have consistently posted every week for 14 months, and while I'm heartbroken to break that streak, I need a small breather. I need to recharge my batteries. I didn't take a break between other books finishing, and I probably should have, even if they were short ones.
Regarding that, I'd like to "feel t...

Lily had a very distracted day, which almost everyone around her noticed. Despite their accusations, she wasn't trying to cause mischief, but she couldn't help but keep wrapping her head around the magic words Arakil had taught her and manipulating the Mana to coalesce within her throat.
Lily didn't dare combine the two until she was in the safety of her room, but at lunch, she asked Rose if she had any tips on chanting. To Lily's disma...

Arakil was in a peculiar mood. Lily was one of his most enthusiastic apprentices and had shown great promise, yet she was beguiled by the foul Astral magic.
They ended their conversation last night. Arakil requested time to properly investigate Astral magic and its viability as Lily's chosen bloodline magic.

Almost the entire circular platform was carpeted in flickering flames, which looked like a grill. At the center, standing triumphantly, was Rose. The dragon girl had a fierce grin on her face that looked ill-suited to the kind and loving big sist...

However, Lily still practiced her current repertoire appropriately to ensure they didn't fall out of practice.
