Sylver had discarded the crowbar a while ago and simply used his bare hands to tear the boxes open. Aside from the fact that he had already accidentally dented one of the barrels by putting too much force into the metal instrument, he also found it somewhat relaxing to rip something open.

“Do you need this treated too?” someone asked from behind Sylver.

He turned towards the old man, and it took him a second to focus his ey...

“It’s a bit like… Imagine that you’re reading a book and… and…” Chrys trailed off as she attempted to figure out how to continue with the metaphor.

“Is what you see in the future affected by other clairvoyants?” Sylver asked, after a couple of seconds had passed, during which Chrys only managed to say “and” over and over again.

“It is, yes. The more effect the clairvoyant has on the world, the greater...

In three quick steps, the person was crouching over Sylver, and Sylver all but jumped out of his skin when the man touched his face.

Deciphering souls is more art than it is science, it is nowhere near as simple as a large majority of people imagine it to be.

For starters, it wasn’t infallible.

A person’s personality tended to determine how clearly Sylver could feel and read their soul, but it wasn’t uncom...

Chapter Delay

TLDR: the next chapter will be delayed by a few hours.

I think I might have minor food poisoning (not covid, I got tested today and it came back negative) but I can't write while I feel like shit. I'm already feeling better as I write this, but there is no way I'm going to be able to finish this chapter today, it's way too late (even for me).

I'll feel better in the morning, so the chapter will be finished and posted then. 

Not sure what else to say, other than...

The surgery went through without a hitch.

That wasn’t to say there weren’t any side effects, but your hand randomly curling into a fist now and then, wasn’t the end of the world.

So he didn’t need to deal with the pain Sylver numbed his whole left arm, but making the limp limb move around using a coating of darkness was significantly easier now that he had [Deadly Darkness] to help him wi...

Everyone spent a great deal of time going over Sylver’s escapades.

And while Sylver normally enjoyed it when people celebrated him, doing it while the corpses of Gal and Dullen were right there, spoiled what little pride he might have felt at his achievements.

Sylver didn’t like violence.

He was good at it, but it wasn’t something he went out of his way to do. It was a necessity, a requirement for ...

Dullen and Gal worked in near-perfect tandem. Gal handled all the large zombies, the ones that relied on pure strength, while Dullen slowed down the smaller ones, and destroyed the ones trying to sneak up on them from down below.

With a single swipe of his giant sword, Gal managed to slice the new Texas into two, a clean cut from the left shoulder blade, down to the right hip. Meanwhile, Dullen protected Gal from the ever-growin...

Sylver stepped through the doorway and found himself standing inside a giant glass cone. He walked over to the very edge of the dark glass and looked down to see two men in the process of fighting.

One man was dressed in a disarmingly simple dark blue shirt and trousers and was armed with two identical gloves, that looked very similar to the ones Bigs had used. He was currently in the process of fighting his way through a bunch of gem...

As far as offensive abilities went [Deadly Darkness] wasn’t particularly deadly.

Granted, it was still more than capable of slicing someone’s throat open, but shadow magic was a very delicate and finicky magic. At least, that was the case when you didn’t want to waste a fuckton of mana on strengthening it to be used the way someone would use ice or earth.

With ice magic, you could easily reinforc...

Aside from the fact that his life was in danger, sort of, Sylver couldn’t help but enjoy the fact that there was always something to do. Rouge, or whoever was in control of this thing, made sure there was never a dull moment.

They gave Sylver a couple of minutes to catch his breath, he drank some water, rinsed his face, fixed his robe, reapplied his [Necrotic Mutilation] armor, and got a chance to repair...

“Including you, there are 10 climbers left,” Rouge said.

She had a very odd tone this time around. It wasn’t cheerful, but it wasn’t exactly depressed either.

She sounded… confused?

“Are they getting killed off, or just quitting?” Sylver asked.

Texas, the giant 2 legged fired breathing lizard on whose head Sylver was currently sitting on, while he barreled his way through the forest, was already breakin...

Sylver cracked his knuckles and found it extremely uncomfortable to do while having two right hands.

By the time he had finished stretching, he found himself standing in near-perfect darkness.

“Near” perfect, mostly because of the faint moving lights he could see in the distance.

“I should have mentioned this earlier, but it would be extremely bad form to forfeit now. Unless you’re literally a...

As Pecan walked around the large room, Sylver noticed a few things.

The first was that even the women were wearing pitch-black suits, with the only difference being that they didn’t wear a tie, while the men did.

He also noticed that everyone had a guard with them, and while Sylver had no trouble blending in with the rest of the unarmed crowd, quite a large number of the guards present were struggling to kee...

Chapter Delay

TLDR: Chapter will be delayed by a few hours.

To make a long story short, I had an issue with an incredibly important document. Had to wake up at 6am to get to the building to sort it out twice and I am beyond dead right now.

Thought I could power through, but I was wrong.

I'm going to sleep now, and I'll write the chapter tomorrow morning.

Sorry about this, but I would rather be late than post shit.

PS: I'm not burned out or anything, everything is fine...

“We’re safe to talk,” Kass said, before Sylver had even managed to start knocking on his door, or could say a word.

“I’m glad to hear that,” Sylver said, as he walked over to the small chair opposite Kass’ desk.

Kass in turn sat in his slightly too large chair and did his very best to appear calm and collected as he locked his hands together and had to repeatedly remind himself to relax.

Sylver was the Ibis’ authority on dead languages.

Partially because very few mages cared about old magic, and tended to focus on simply creating new “better” magic. Or simply making the magic their masters passed down to them more efficient and powerful.

Sylver had no such luck.

Necromancy was a “dead” magic. It was certainly much more prevalent back in his time than it currently was with the system around, ...

Foma sat down and placed his hole-covered helmet directly in front of him.

The table was very long and oval-shaped, Sylver counted 22 chairs, and sat down opposite Foma. They both simply stared at each other for a few seconds and were interrupted as an old man walked into the room and sat on Sylver’s left, at the head of the table.

Sylver felt like someone ran an ice cube down his chest, and had to suppress himself from swatting ...

Sylver had expected several things to come out through the door.

Except for those anti-magic drones.

5 of them surrounded Sylver and immediately started blasting him with their interfering signal. Thankfully Sylver now had 2 functional legs and didn’t topple over, but seeing his robe go limp was on a similar level of embarrassing.

And just as he was about to lose his temper and make the people sitting in a pie...

Announcement

You're probably aware, but I wanted to say this just in case.

There was something up with Patreon Gmail a day or so ago, so the previous chapter might be in your spam folder.

Check your spam folder, in case you thought I missed the previous chapter.

That's all, as always, thanks for all the support.

The two guards, Bean and Tulip, were quite agile for people wearing at least 200kg worth of extremely dense armor. As a result, the bottleneck in the speed at which the group could travel ended up being Estus and Runnel.

In Runnel’s case, it was more to do with stamina, than physical ability. He ran out of breath after barely 5 minutes of what Sylver would call jogging, while Estus simply wasn’t used to having to run for more than...

The Lyon was ripped open into roughly 4 separate pieces. Going by the fact that the “rips” were all perfectly straight, and that one cut was right down the middle, and the other cut down the side, this was supposed to happen.

In hindsight, Sylver considered the fact that he remained in his seat, with several belts holding him in place, a big mistake. He should have turned into smoke, made a hole in the ceiling, and clawed his ...

Sylver paced back and forth inside the room, while Bigs just calmly followed him with his eyes.

This isn’t Earth…

It can’t be.

Aside from the two suns…alleged, two suns…

Bigs isn’t lying, but he hasn’t seen it himself, he’s only ever been told about it.

“I think-”
