Sylver had been careful not to crumple up the page any more than he initially had. There were 7 creases on it, from the way it had appeared in his fist, and another crease from when he tried to fold it into 2.

He continued staring at the page, as Faust continued pacing back and forth on his left. It was the middle of the night at this point, most of the sect was asleep, two were keeping watch near the entrance, and Sylver had pro...

Without his need for eyes, there wasn’t a need for blinking.

Despite that, Sylver couldn’t tell when the exact moment of transition had occurred. It was seamless, there wasn’t a middle, just Sylver standing in the wooden building, with the boy on his right, and the next, he’s standing on top of a giant empty space.

Sylver was standing on what looked like black glass, like impossibly clear onyx.

The bear’s sliced open body looked like someone had prepared it for a roast. It was laying on its back, its internal organs had been carefully removed, the skin had been folded out of the way, and the entire left side had been butchered to reveal the bones.

Sylver was sitting on a small wooden stool and was looking right at the creature. Ria was hovering above it, and apparently, 2 hours was where she drew the limit regarding how lo...

“82,” Spring said, as he gently placed the odd-shaped organ into the wooden chest.

Initially, Sylver had used a bag, but after the 50th [Gourd Gizzard] had been subdued, and its internal organ safely harvested, Sylver decided to see if he could grow himself a chest.

Admittedly it wasn’t perfect, he couldn’t get the hinges right, and decided to just make a lid and use a rope to keep it cl...

Sylver’s journey to the heart of the swamp was annoying peaceful.

According to Ria, he had been walking for over 4 hours, with absolutely nothing to show for it. Ria used the time to continue practicing levitating and mastered it enough that Sylver decided it was a good time to introduce the idea of levitating while having someone interfering with you.

And while it wasn’t strictly necessary since Ria could make ...

Even if there wasn’t a point in doing it, Sylver sent Spring ahead anyway. The shade wouldn’t be able to get past the barrier, but at the very least he would be able to inform Sylver if there were people outside the sect.

Through Mora, Sylver at least knew they hadn’t attacked yet. If she was in pain, Sylver would know, their connection wasn’t strong enough for any kind of complex thought at the moment, but he would...

As Sylver made his way towards the small piece of land Faust’s sect called home, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Not the big spine, that was currently compressed in such a way as to make it look like Sylver had a bad back, but the small one, Sylver’s “real” spine, so to speak. He continued walking as if nothing was wrong, but sent every single shade out to find whatever was watching him.

With every step, he could...

Sylver had seen drug dens that were tidier than the shithole these people called a “home.” It was disorganized, there was dust and grime everywhere, and the air was so heavy with the stench of decay that even Sylver’s eyes were affected by it.

Sylver followed the boy who managed to behead him up into the second floor, and was shown into a room that could very loosely be called an “office.” The reason it could be calle...

Minor Delay + Q & A

I pretty much wrote out the entire chapter, and after rereading through it 5 times, decided I didn't like the direction it was going. 

I've now deleted it and started over, but after some thinking, decided it would be better to write it after I've had a night to sleep on it. 

The start of arcs are always the trickiest, because of all the plot points I need to set up.

In the meantime, if anyone has any questions, please ask them here in the comments, and ...

“Stop squirming,” Sylver cautioned, as he tightened his grip around the youth’s leg, and against the screaming youth’s protests, poured the remainder of the health potion’s contents over the very recently severed ankle.

Sylver’s stitches were spat out of the flesh, as it stretched and followed the blueprints Sylver had forced the foot to adhere to, and within 30 seconds, only a razor-thin white scar rem...

Sylver stared up towards the sky as they walked and listened to Spring’s report as he told him about the various buildings that were on the line Edmund’s tracker had created.

He had hoped there would be something obvious, like a giant lead cube from within which a man’s shouting could be heard, or a grave with a green flame dancing on it, or maybe just a man with a nametag that read ‘Edmund, Arch-Pyromancer,’

The area around the Schlagen mountains was divided into small districts.

At least, that’s what Sylver assumed, given the small flags that every building had on the top left of their door, and that the patrolling guards had an identical symbol on their armor.

To get to Fobur, Sylver and company walked through 4 districts.

And even if someone somehow missed the small flags near the doors, it was impossible to ...

Sylver lazily kept his hand on Mora’s lead, while he and Faust slowly walked down the road. Bravo had teleported them as close to the Schlagen mountains as he could manage and then escorted them towards the nearest road before he teleported back to Arda.

From what he had explained he could teleport home an infinite number of times, pretty much whenever he wanted. But going somewhere else was limited to roughly once a month, depe...

The dinner party was largely uneventful.

Sylver invited those closest to him, got drunk, and then told them how much he loved them, and then proceeded to threaten a hypothetical foe for daring to target his people. He thought he had been careful with his language, but nevertheless, Yeva ended up having to cover Benjamin’s ears.

Salgok joined in and somehow found a combination Sylver hadn’t heard before. Sylver in tu...

Sylver moved the page he was writing on out of the way and consulted Bruno’s copper sheet one last time. He turned around and Faust and Bruno’s mildly festive mood disappeared as they saw the look on Sylver’s face.

“That bad huh?” Faust asked as he put down his celebratory mug.

After Sylver had converted the stored up information in the spell embedded in their chests onto a copper sheet, they had little else to...

As Sylver approached his house, he was informed that were 5 people with very poor control over their mana standing near the front gates. They were talking to Ging, but due to the natural barrier that their leaking mana created, Spring had no idea what was being said.

Sylver materialized on the roof of the house directly opposite his and stayed prone on it while he observed the people below. Sylver was too far away, and the sou...

Mora’s friend, Aleri, was a bird.

Kind of.

He was a cross between a raven, eagle, falcon, hawk, owl, bat, woodpecker, and possibly a handful of felines. He was completely black, his dark yellow beak had a slight downwards curve, his claws looked like they belonged to a cat, and he had two giant eyeballs on either side of his head, which gave him the appearance that he was smaller than he actually was.

He had 3 ...

Sylver flashed his guild card at the guard at the dungeon entrance, before he once again turned into vapor and flew down the path covered in glowing thread. Slinky, the enormous snake-looking chimera, left a small gap for Sylver to funnel through.

Once he was inside, and the snake had a chance to flick its tongue at him, Sylver used [Fog Form] to fly towards the large swinging dark orange cocoon. Some k...

In a lot of ways, Ria, the liquid metal golem, was essentially an undead.

Not a naturally born undead, and certainly not a feral or wild one, but more in the sense that once she was given a task, she wordlessly chipped away at it until it was done.

Currently, she was inside a hollowed-out wooden staff, and the three bones she was using to practice magic were embedded into the very end of it, in the shape of a claw. The on...

With Tera and the children asleep, the only people left awake were Sylver and Bruno. They both sat on the roof of the house and silently watched the various chimeras going about their day. Or rather, night, since the bioluminescent hexagons in the ceiling had somewhat dimmed.

Sylver swirled the cold drink in his hand and made the ice spheres floating around in it clink as they hit the metal rim. In the distance he could...

“Are you waiting for me to go first?” Sylver asked the horse creature.

There was something unnaturally grotesque about it. Every “living” creature had a certain pattern to it, a theme, a style.

One of Nyx’s theories was that the reason living creatures appeared to be ugly was because undead didn’t perceive the world in the same way the living did. They were therefore unable to see the pattern that determined ...

It had 7 legs, as advertised, but instead of having them in a line, like a centipede, the creature had them side by side. Only the front left leg was alone, the other 3 were doubled up.

But even if the general shape was right, calling it a “horse,” felt disingenuous.

For starters, it didn’t have hooves, or rather it did, but they were currently folded up, and Sylver could see that it had something that looked closer...

“Have you had a chance to speak to Faust?” Tera asked, and for the first time in half an hour stopped talking long enough for Sylver to answer her question.

Aside from the fact that the house seemed to be made of what Sylver had realized was solidified thread, it looked like your average house.

As if someone had simply picked up the house Bruno had on his farm and brought it down underground into the dungeon. Alt...

Sylver’s new body was nearly impossible to poison.

For starters, anything that entered his mouth and traveled down his throat was essentially incinerated. To be specific it was magically disassembled into its base components which would then be used to heal or build his flesh and muscle.

And aside from a small handful of poisons, that for reasons even Sylver didn’t understand affected undead, Sylver had purposely retain...

Lola went upstairs to have breakfast with Spring, and the rest of the Sezari household, to give Ria and Sylver some privacy. Sylver sat back into his seat, and the liquid metal woman oozed onto the table directly in front of him and formed herself into a talking face.

“I want to make the world a better place,” Ria said.

Sylver just looked at her and waited before formulating a response.

“But I don’t kno...

Minor Delay+Q/A

This is a really minor one.

Almost didn't see the point of writing/posting this, but updates like this are half the point of being in the patreon. I started writing late because I'm an idiot, and now I'm too tired from doing shit early in the morning, so I'm afraid of finishing this chapter and posting shit that seems good while I'm tired.

In the meantime, if anyone has any questions, ask away. I'll do my best to answer them.

So yeah, this seems like a good idea. Every time ...

As Sylver waited for Spring to get started, he continued inspecting one of the three ribs he had gotten from “Sylver.”

It had the color of dark metal and the texture of very fine sandpaper. Going by the curve, and the general feel of them, the skeleton was in his very early 20s, possibly even younger.

More importantly, Sylver could feel the metallic bones actively sucking up the ambient mana in the air, and o...

Somewhat surprisingly, the meeting with Ruslana and Zelvash was so fast and nonsense-free that Sylver spent the entire 10 minutes waiting for something to go wrong.

But nothing did.

Sylver explained to the two that the area he planned to house them in was too dangerous and that there wasn’t a good place to house them at the current moment in time.

Frankly, neither of them seemed all that concerned about it.

As with any ritual Sylver performed, when he wasn’t using scraps and was limited on time, everything was going smoothly and predictably.

Sylver’s body was in a very calm and constant process of breaking apart, and being forced back together using his magic. His bones would twist and turn and disintegrate, only to reform stronger than they were before, and then start breaking apart again.

Sylver’s internal organs sl...

“It all started… I mean, really started… 3 years ago? About 3 years ago. There was a monster outbreak, they broke down the walls, nearly destroyed the city, it was terrible,” Lola said, as Sylver continued to quietly operate on one of his clones.

Next to him were several different trays, one filled with hearts, another filled with livers, another filled with kidneys, another filled with stripped clean bones...
