Hi!
I love polls. Don't you love them too? So in today's chapter, secondary characters popularity poll! That's basically everyone except Sofia I guess. (listed in order of apparition in the story, mostly, and I probably forgot some, so, uh, it is what it is)
Somehow I get a feeling Pareth will be high up there, so to make it a bit more fair to the other...
2023-02-28 17:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostSofia was still recovering on the cold ground when Pareth brought back a limp middle aged woman in a priest’s garb. She had watched the whole scene through the skeleton’s vision, it had been a strange, almost otherworldly interaction. The priestess hadn’t said anything, she hadn’t fled, seeing the skeleton approach she had only used weak personal protection skills such as [Bubbl...

Pareth dashed straight forward, crashing through the walls to run outside. No time to cast the graveyard. She followed after Pareth. No sense in separating.
The Paladins from inside were right on her tracks, jumping out of the broken hole after her. Running after Pareth through the orphanage’s garden, she saw a few things. At least six...

Hey!
It's great to be back! A lot of stuff happened during that week 'off', I axed two full weeks of content I wasn't liking, and started back from chapter 100. I have to say, my backlog is looking sad right now, but I'm very happy with how this arc is shaping up now. I hope everyone will like it just as much, because if you don't I'll take another week off (...
2023-02-25 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
Already 100 chapters, can you believe it? I've been working on this non-stop every day for almost three months... Six if you count the time before release.
Anyway, it's a lot to deal with, and I know a lot of people have grown dissatisfied or bored with the story, I've gotten a lot of feedback on it all now.
So I'm taking a week off from posting chapters, I need ...

She believed there was a possibility that the enhancement of Pareth’s mana regeneration would not only work outside of the circle, but it would also last as long as the skeleton survived. Meaning she wouldn’t have to pay the gold again.
The only uncertainty in this was that this enhancement ritual in particular was originally related to a god, ...

“Killing people?” the girl hesitantly mumbled.
“Then yes.” Sofia said in between two bites. Dumb bird actually tastes pretty nice. Can’t believe Alith doesn’t like my cooking. Wait, I forgot the salt…
“Why?”
“They attacked me and I defended myself....

He reacted by using his hole-carving skill, digging up a half sphere in the cliff where the chains were linked to. That freed him but it also created an empty space that the water rushed in, the sudden aspiration slammed the ogre into the hole he’d just carved out. He was still covering his...

Yes, Chapter 100 is going to be called 'Pareth : 100%'. (⌐▨_▨)
Happy reading, skeletons!
It took Sofia a few days to find the Ogres. It was easy to spot them whenever they entered her field of view, their red skin contrasted strongly against the gray stone hills.
They’re not quite as impo...
2023-02-14 17:00:06 +0000 UTC View Post“I thank you for your answers,” Sofia said, actually giving a slight bow to show her appreciation.
There was an instant of uncomfortable silence.
“No need to thank me. You paid for them. Now show me your murder history and we will be done for today.”
“My murder history? That’s a thing? Why should I show you?”
This caused a very ugly frown to show...

Small hotfix today, I'm changing how [Heal Undead] works, long story short : it had a terrible scaling compared to what it was meant to be, so I'm retconning the hell out of it. Doesn't really change anything about the previous battles but that'll be important later.

I’m so lost. Maybe I should have stuck to searching for information through books. Why did we need to come all the way up here again? ...

Unsure what to do, Sofia walked up to the end of the terrace. She observed the woman leisurely sleeping in the sky. She looked like she was thirty at most. So that’s like, a thousand years in high-level age, I guess. Do people who only get to a high level when they’re older keep looking old forever?
She had d...

There was no crazy high level monster present this time, in fact the person in charge was a young looking boy vampire, and he was level 112. He had made a funny face when she said she had three thousand liters of blood, saying he couldn’t even buy that much if he wanted to. Sofia made her way out with six more gold ingots to h...

I get that it's normal to have people coming and going on patreon but I still feel like we're on a not so good trend right now.

They had convened on ways to communicate and reunite if need be, and if they hadn’t met by then they would at least go to the second trial together. Alith didn’t take much of their money, insisting that five hundred gold was more than enough. Which left Sofia with...

Hey hey skeletons!
The locked city arc is finally coming to a close, I hope everyone enjoyed it. It certainly was not your usual dungeon excursion.
The next few chapters are a bit more lighthearted, and then we'll plunge into something else again... Don't ask me what, I'm not even certain where Sofia is going yet, I have a few ideas but I'm ...

Is she in pain?
It was impossible to decipher her expression with just the mana flow. Not sure what to do, Sofia pinned her down in a hug. Alith resisted for a bit before she understood what w...

What took the most damage were her wings, which had no protection at all, they were almost completely destroyed. It was a ridiculous scene as Alith did her best to sneak in a [Maiden’s kiss] to heal Sofia up whenever the ar...

Though it was dubious how anyone could be alive for so long. Maybe the owner is a skeleton. Or will become one.
That being said, they...
2023-01-29 17:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostIn the beginning, when Sofia first used her ability to look through Pareth’s eyes, she had needed to close her own to not be disturbed by the double vision. By now it was already something she was used to, though it was still distracting. Flying in place under the city with the top of her head against the blue bricks, she took control of Pareth.

First was the high mana consumption, which, used together with [Graveyard of the righteous] meant she could only fight for three minutes in a row at most before being out. And that wa...
