Chapter 184: Enterprise

I teleport the crate of materials with [Immaculate Translocation] into my shop. It contains the last of the mana-producing materials I need to make the flagship reactor.

I thank the deliveror and get to work. It has been another week, but fortunately, materials that produce elemental mana are far more common than the ones that produce reserved mana, so it didn’t take long for the rest of the materials I need.

Finally, after so long, the Flagship will be finished. It had saved th...

Worldbuilding Week 3

This week I want to work on the folklore of the Runalymo. Folk tales about monsters, history, weather, and people. I already have one but having more will certainly help give the Runalymo culture depth.

I'm not asking for an essay, a simple concept suggestion is good enough to help give me a different point of view on how to approach this aspect of culture. I had considered many things, such as a story similar to Beowolf and Chupacabra but I want something more fitting to the Runalymo c...

Chapter 183: Catching up with Kayafe

"Do I know of a way to restore anima?" Kayafe repeats my question. "So it all makes sense, then; the weird magic items you've made. You’ll be pleased to know that there are ways to restore Anima. Evolving your race to Legendary will grant you a vast amount of anima, hundreds of times more than normal.”

That’s good to know, but my next couple legendary points need to go toward my cursed skills to prevent any further anima depletion.

Chapter 182: To seek relations

Fire Elemental Heart (Legendary):
This is the heart of a slain Fire Elemental; it still holds a fraction of this fallen being’s authority over fire.
Grants Fire Manipulation 1000/1000

[Acting] works overtime to keep my surprise hidden as I examine the contents of the box in Ryn’s arms as she steps out of the well-made and decorated carriage.

There is no way to take [Manipulate Fire] to level one thousand, and judging by its mention of authority, the stre...

Chapter 181: Eldritch Gazer

Ruluna has progressed fast in her ability to track my perception!

She’s managed to get past my perceptive knot; instead of trying to follow the complex perceptive information path, she instead hoped around and followed it until she found the exit or until a new loop which greatly increased her chances of finding the knot’s exit. I’m not angry about this turn of events; rather, I am pleased to know my weakness in a controllable situation rather than a dangerous one. I can ...

Chapter 180: An important trade.

AN: Sorry for the recent trouble with Patreon over the last few days I hope everything been smoothed over by now. I've learned a lot from this experience and what I should have done instead, but hindsight is always 20/20. This chapter gave me a lot of trouble so I hope you enjoy it!

World Building week 1

First week of world building will focus on the Flora and Fauna of the Nexus. I'm doing this first since it can lead to all sorts of things from food related to professions.

On land there's obviously the fruit trees (not trees but a result of convergent evolution that makes them look like a mix of traditional tree's and bamboo.) There can be a lot here since there's thousands of years of selective cultivation for many uses. (if broccoli can originate from cabbage then there's so many pos...

Chapter 179: Flagship Upgrades

AN: Starting next month, I will be only releasing 2 chapters a week (Monday and Friday) for various reasons, one of them being health-related. It’s nothing major, just insomnia, but it’s bad for productive work when half the day, I’m too tired to do anything. The other reason is that I want to start preparing for the rewrite of this story which I hope to start next year. I will still work on this as it’s good to get the story in order and try things and see what works.

Chapter 178: Soul Life

“Alysara!”

Before I can leave the Dungeon, I hear Kadona call my name. I had seen them approaching but was too focused to go over to them and say hi.

“It’s been a while; how have you two been doing?” I say politely, welcoming the distraction.

Kadona and Uloru glance at each other before Kadona responds. “We’ve been well, leveling has slowed down a lot after level four hundred, but we’ve improved in other ways. In fact, we were just about to go back to the nex...

Chapter 177: Logic of Layers

The rock I sent to a different layer slowly starts disappearing, or, at least, from what [Sense Space] is telling me so is its already tiny gravitational pull. I observe the rock for an hour, and in that time, the rock lost a quarter of its mass; however, according to the shadow the mana casts on the normal layer, it has not decreased but increased.

I teleport the rock and its mana back to closely examine the damage, and that is when, for a split second, I noticed some of the mana had t...

Chapter 176: Layers

In the morning, I get up out of bed and sleepily navigate through my room. Hundreds of experimental samples, in the shape of little square plates, are piled into neat towers, making my room look like the den of a highly organized collection hoarder.

It’s been a couple of weeks now, and I’ve found the best mana gathering inscriptions I have for both Solid and super-solid mana. The reason it took so long is that I had to make sure the erosion of the mana isn’t so slow as to be imper...

Chapter 175: A study of Space

The Runalymo Flagship, still unnamed, is the largest and most ambitious airship being made. The hull was finished during the first stage of my work; the interior was finished during stage two, and now is stage three, the internal workings of the airship to power all of its enchantments. Stage three will consist of making the mana wiring all throughout the airship, making lighting fixtures, and most importantly, enchanting the entire airship to be large on the inside than the outside....

Chapter 174: Pondering Skills

I spend the rest of the day testing out my new abilities and making more mind components in my soul to make efficient use of my minds without bottlenecking my mind component processing power. First, I test [Duplicate Swap] seeing if it will allow me to teleport into the dungeon; however, even with my device that allows me to see and control clones through the entrance, I still cannot teleport into it.

Next, I test the mana efficiency, teleporting all around the Nexus with the help of my...

Chapter 173: Scholar of Many Minds

It's been a month since Yrania arrived, and at first, no one noticed her presence. For the first few days, she stayed on Temple Island, but rumors started to spread, and soon people became interested in the new dragon. It didn't take long for people to put two and two together and realize that my spending so much time on Temple Island is because of Yrania, so now I am being bombarded by questions, forcing me to use an invisibility spell to get away from people.

Over the last week, I fee...

Chapter 171: Gods

Myrou wonders around the edge of the void. A curious thing; the void is infinite yet defined, a seeming contradiction yet it exists.

"You still haven't figured it out, Myrou?" Venaro is always teasing her about it, yet he is the only one to know it.

The void is a strange place; the realms are infinite in size yet finite in the void. The void itself is infinite in size, yet it has an infinite edge that stretches onwards to eternity. Time and space has... well, it exists in...

Chapter 170: The Archive of Eternity

Ting! Humanity has discovered Mana! The Age of Mana has begun!

What's this? I can't help but wonder how and why I got this message.

Nothing answers my question, so I keep watching. The realms change rapidly, and soon a new chime rings in my mind quickly, followed by several more.

Ting! Behemoth, The King Kaiju has been spawned!
Ting! Leviathan, the Water Kaiju, has been spawned!

Chapter 169: Memories

AN: I'm back! This chapter might be a little rough since I had trouble trying to figure out how I was going to write this chapter. I decided to just quickly go over the parts that don't really matter and won't have too much of an impact otherwise I would have had to spend three chapters to cover what's in this one.



I return to Yrania the next day with a mess of emotions churning in my stomach. Fear, anxiety, apprehension, as well as a desire to finally get all of t...

Side story 7: Time

AN: Still alive! This is for last month since I didn't release a side chapter last month.

I feel like you guys should be getting more for this reward tier, however, if I pile more on writing I'll burn myself out so instead, I'll offer other rewards. If you have any ideas for them feel free to make suggestions like voting on what the next art commission should be about.

Chapter 168: Battle in the River

Vanu Runa Lysha carefully studies the enemy army. They have a small army, about four thousand soldiers. They have been busy crafting their leviathan materials into weapons and armor, and if they can win this battle, chances are Lysha can get her hands on some of them.

The Forron Kingdom probably wants to push for an early victory which is why they are attacking now rather than waiting until they have a legion outfitted with Leviathan armor.

Vocana hasn't been idle. With slightly o...

Sometimes it's hard to find love for this story and I notice that my writing quality is falling off but this doesn't mean I am stopping, I know well enough that creativity is a muscle that needs to be exercised or it will atrophy.

Chapter 166: Lessons of the Mind

I never knew Safyr had children let alone grandchildren. I follow Yrania to a hill overlooking the temple as she begins her lesson.

"First, you should know that Bond's do not like being suppressed, well, most of them." Yrania lectures. "But you should also know the risks. First, do you know about Bond resonance?"

"No," I shake my head.

Yrania watch as the Sorroth bows before the Great Garenne, their smaller forward antlers touching the ground, each decorated with jewels and colorful stones. They raise their short tails high in reverence of their godlike figure.

The Sorroth are an all-female mammalian race with short forward-facing antlers and long back-facing antlers that turn downward. Their antlers keep growing and eventually have to be trimmed; otherwise, it'd get too cumbersome. They wear jewelry on their antlers,...

Chapter 164: Next Gen Bond

I feel a subtle shift in my Bond presence, and the clarity of my connection to my Bond becomes clearer as if something had clicked in place. As if I had just opened my eyes, I can feel the very beauty around me, not the same way my [Sense Magic] works but just... a feeling for it. It’s almost like the whispers I get a feel is now a tactile sensation too, Beauty, with a capital B, caresses me like a mother would a child; it wants the best for me, wants to see me succeed.

Chapter 163: A look from the Core

A few weeks later, I have most of my negotiations done. It will take a few more weeks to get the drydocks and first line of airships done and probably a few months to get pilots trained.

It's likely going to take years for this technology to become widespread enough for the trial to be considered complete, it took planes decades to be fully integrated into society, cars, and trains, too; usually, something like this will take three or four decades, but this is a trial, so fifteen to twe...

Chapter 162: A New Trial

After visiting Kayafe, I fly back home. I need to get back into my normal routine, continue working on my Bond, studying mana and inscriptions, and figure out how to make a true Mana Arc.

First, I need to set some objectives: it needs to gather most of the mana that flows through the Nexus and continue feeding the mana into the Dungeon, it probably should have the same monster inhibitor that the Nexus does, and lastly, but optionally, it should be able to produce liquid mana like the cu...

Chapter 161: Perceptive Vectors

"What would it cost for you to teach us [Manipulate Mana]?" Orlan asks.

My first instinct is to say that it's not for sale; I don't want to empower a political rival, after all. However, it's not too farfetched for someone in Vocana to already have it or previously had it. They have a long history and lots of people; eventually, someone will learn it, they may even have records of the skill buried in some library. Teaching them the skill and the obvious breakthroughs like casti...
