I'm a Stingray? Chapter 103 - SUS
The Ruins of Aqumus were sounding more and more like a fairytale these past few weeks, they may not exist. Arvena has been promising to take the team to the ruins for a while now, but throughout recent events they discovered that she was less than trustworthy.Arvena rarely told the truth, and when she did try to tell it, she didn’t tell the whole truth, as in, she ultimately failed to mention her agendas in the past, and or the associated dangers that are tied to her agendas, she failed to mention those a bunch of times! Her behaviour was alarming.As a matter of fact, she barely told them anything useful about the library of Rempegena, even though it’s been a month since the library was unearthed, or, teleported. She refused. The team didn’t get much out of that little journey, they were just dragged there to act as bodyguards, just to keep her alive, rather than anything progress-oriented. To tip the bucket, neither three of them were allowed to enter that library after it was unea
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 104 - Held at gun-point!
“Is that a damn whale?” Timothy thought to himself.This may be a dangerous situation, especially if they let it unfold as such. However, they didn’t know how to prevent such a disaster from ‘unfolding’, so all three of them kept quiet for the sake of avoiding any unnecessary attention, as they did not want to get eaten alive by these monstrous fish! They remained quiet.“Is this a new species?” Arvena asked herself, “I don’t remember seeing anything like this the last time I was here, hell no. But then again, I got chased out of here before I could explore the sea at all! Those bastards I guided weren’t as assertive, useless pricks!”Two minutes had passed, and these twenty-meter long whales of sorts had not attacked, and since they seemed so docile, the team started thinking about sneaking out of here as quickly as they could. This ruined city had plenty of spots to hide in, so they figured that they could eventually make some good distance away from this potential slaughter that th
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 105 - Held at gun-point!
Tim and the team started digging. They weren’t so fond of this physical labor, especially since their goblin bodies weren’t cut out for big-time digging, but this was the best option that they were left with. They didn’t even have shovels with them, or tools of any sort, which was disadvantageous, so they had to make use of their hands, mostly. Arvena eventually found an old, chipped stone from a ruined pathway, and then used it to dig through the mud. Though this wasn't as productive against hard gravel, this chipped stone was still better than digging with one's hands!With her example, Skendus did something similar, he also found a sharp stone of sorts, but he didn’t exert as much energy while he worked, because he found more creative ways to get things done. Since he already carried a warhammer around, he used that to bash the ground with it, at a fairly vertical angle, which opened the ground up a little bit in exchange, it made things easier for him.The warhammer was heavy, so
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 106 - Quiet goblins
Tim and the team made great progress, they dug through what could be considered two to three hundred kilos of dirt, sand, and gravel. It was a great amount, and it was all the more impressive when one considered how tiny they were in this bodily form, aqus goblins were pretty small, three-foot tall mostly, so yes it was impressive. It was Tim who did most of the work, yes, but his friends still had to help him shovel the dirt away. They carried everything in their hands, just to clear the path for the floating daggers, because the daggers themselves couldn't carry anything whatsoever, they were just used to stab through the ground. The team were all doing their part, their work, most of which featured hard, and futile physical labor, but in the end it was worth their while.The progress they made was decent, the team dug over two feet deep by now, and they dug around the tower thoroughly, which was all the more impressive. Now if they dug just a little bit deeper, then they may final
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 107 - The holy three
This cavern was perhaps the most important place in the nano-universe of Nul. Well, considering how small Nul actually was, this cavern didn't have much competition, but it was great nonetheless. The team realized the latter after they shook the water out of their ears, they then caught up with its magnificence. The structures that they had noticed while they were in the water tube, weren't just mere houses, or multi-selection taverns, no, the structures looked holy! They represented the best that mana had to offer, and their purity ascended all bounds! The team were visitors here so they wouldn't know too much about its importance to begin with, but the aura here was just too strong, they could all sense that this was the place where they needed to be. If this cavern couldn't remove the bracket on their mana quality, then nothing would!They spotted a structure which seemed like it was the most important, it caught their attention immediately. It featured a long, upwards staircase,
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 108 - Energy Pocket
It was not always good to disappear out of thin air, especially if it happened against one's will, it was terrifying. The team of four did not only disappear, but they seemed to have teleported in some way as well!The good thing was that they were conscious though, and Tim had been the first to complain as soon as he noticed what had happened. Well, he hadn’t caught up entirely, but he still had this inward sense that they had teleported, he was sure of it.“If we're in an even smaller universe, help me god… I'm going to lose my shit!” He complained.Tim perhaps overreacted, as it wasn't the worst thing in the world to pierce through universes, no. It entirely depended on how hostile the universe was, and as far as he was concerned, he was not in danger right now, but rather, he was just engulfed in utter darkness. This was a little scary, but he didn’t really feel endangered, though it didn't take long for him to get weirded out. When Tim mentioned universes, something strange happ
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 109 - Duck; Accepted!
“What a bad time to talk about dual-sworded ducks,” Tim muttered, he was concerned.This was obviously not how he would wish for an event to unfold, he hadn't expected it, and he couldn’t have ever guessed that this duck that he imagined earlier on, would represent him today! It was unthinkable, and yet here he was, within the consequences of his own imagination!“Out of all the things you could have summoned, you chose a duck… why?” The three pyramids asked him, as even they questioned his decisions.“Because ducks are funny,” He answered honestly. Tim was deep in cow dung right now, so he didn’t bother trying to excuse himself. If he died because of his decisions, then this would truly be the most hilarious way for him to die. He didn't regret a thing!Perhaps he may die quickly too, because the pyramids spun even faster once Tim had answered them. Their velocity could contest that of a meteor's, so it was crystal clear that if something was to happen, it would happen now and it wo
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 110 - Sir Lestuk
After he left the nano-universe of Nul, Timothy had woken up with an improved quality of mana. Level five to be exact, otherwise known as Good Quality Mana!Since ‘good’ was in its name, Tim felt pretty excited about it, because he could finally pose a threat against the common dangers of this universe. The micro-universe of Valporovus was not for the weak, and he was sick of either running, or depending on others for help, so level five did him good.Two weeks later, however, he was at level six (dense, iron mana), which was even greater! Him and the team didn't have to use their mana all that much these days, and since Valporovus naturally encouraged faster mana-regeneration, progress was only inevitable! Nothing was holding them back, the rest of the team had the same amount of luck as he did.To further increase their progress, they made up their minds to start a journey towards the ruins of Aqumus! These ruins supposedly promised more mana per hour than any other place in the rea

Chapter 180 - +66,040 mana points!
[Congratulations, your mana quality is now at level three! This level is otherwise known as Pit Mana, and it too has a very descriptive name, because now you have a far bigger mana pool to fill, hence it being a pit.] The system beeped, she was very efficient at explaining the levels that he was on.“Let me guess, I need 400,000 mana points to fill this one?” He asked, and he was getting nervous.Instantly, the system answered. [520,000 mana points, actually. This pool is big, it’s way beyond what the common mage is used to. Hence, it's labeled as a pit.]“Well, fuck me! That's a lot.” He sighed, “I guess we won't be getting out of this mana realm anytime soon.”[The pit is massive yes, but still, either of you can accumulate that mana in a month, you can naturally regenerate it, assuming that you won't go through any expensive battles throughout the month.] The system beeped.Timothy did not want to wait for a month or more for another level-up, and he certainly didn't want to endure
Chapter 179 - A gift for Gustav
Arvena finally leveled up! A magnificent blue glow erupted around her as well, and now, she was at level three in the Fintelus Apprentices Realm of mana!It was a spectacular achievement for most, but in this case, this level-up managed to only lessened her overall depression by a nudge. This was a good level to be in, but once she remembered that she had been beyond the Fintelus’ Apprentices realm of mana just a few weeks ago, it became difficult for her to be happy about this level-up.A few weeks ago, within the Forbidden Caves close to the city of Manape, Arvena had sacrificed an entire realm of her mana quality, just to kill an opponent that was stronger than her! She had summoned a Celestial Spear just to kill that dragon Saranax, and although she had succeeded, the loss of such grand mana quality was still gnawing on her conscience. She wasn't happy, and even though they found plenty of mana roots here, it was very unlikely that anyone would cross the Fintelus’ Apprentices real
Chapter 178 - Fintelus' Apprentices realm of mana!
Timothy was absolutely baffled by the fact that he leveled up his mana quality, in mere seconds, without suffering the immense pain that typically came with these upgrades! He didn’t know what to think about it, he did have a flash-upgrade upgrade before, at the library of Rempegana and it too was amazing, but getting flash upgrades at these higher levels was priceless! He was beyond happy.The system noticed his accelerating heartbeat, so after a moment, she described. [Flash upgrades like this are inevitable, on the occasion where your mana pool receives such great quantities. Your mana pool adjusts itself, so as to not to disrupt this ongoing flow of mana that you're receiving, it's very useful. This is mother nature's part of making up for the ‘punishment’ that the average ascending mage goes through, so relax, and let the mana roots do their thing. Please do not tighten your anus any more than you already have, because that can disrupt the flow.]“Right,” He muttered, and did as
Chapter 177 - Bubonic Mana
The mana roots kept growing, the more they fed on the mana pool that the team provided. Their mana pools were eventually emptied, which was alarming, but they still kept at it because they weren't in any direct danger right now.The team kept pouring every bit of mana that they generated themselves, and at this point the roots had grown so big that even Gustav and the dragons who were above the water, were getting every drop of their mana sucked in by the roots! The dragons didn't have many points to spare to begin with, but they lost theirs as well.Each root was as thick as a tree now, as most of them were four feet wide, while their ending tips were six inches wide! They were gigantic, and one could say that it was difficult to find roots like this under natural circumstances, no. The only other root that Tim and Ortana had seen, for example, was tiny in comparison. Eighteen of these thick boys were bound to make their mana quality godly!“Just a few more minutes… the roots should
Chapter 176 - The patches of Mana Roots
After about ten minutes of rolling around on the dry rock they were on, everyone in the team, apart from Gustav, managed to shapeshift! They had been in a sub-liquid-like form all this time, because that was the key part of the process, but this part didn't bother them whatsoever, because it wasn’t painful at all. Having sub-liquid bones and flesh for ten minutes was exceptionally painless, it was even therapeutic actually, because even their light joint pains disappeared during that period.Anyway, once they shifted, they left their backpacks behind, and jumped in the water quite fearlessly! They didn't fear these ancient creatures of the deep, because if their understanding of this time period was correct, then the fish within the sea here didn't have any magical powers at their disposal. The fish were just big, and hungry, which was the main way for them to be threatening, but that was about it.The latter wasn't too big of a challenge for them. Each and every member of this group
Chapter 175 - Dinosaurs?
The team jumped through the portal, and their dragons followed suit! They were very excited to harvest the benefits of the needle universe in front of them, they wanted to get as many mana points per hour as they could!However, once they passed through the portal, they were stunned by the multiple shades of blue that immediately pierced through their pupils. This shade was unexpected, because this universe was as red as a rose the last time they were here. They hadn't seen a single spec of blue within it before, but now, it was all they could see!“What the hell?” Tim blurted, and the rest followed suit with their curses.There was a sea of sorts in front of them, and this was very perplexing, because a one-kilometer wide universe wasn't supposed to have a sea. It was too small, it wouldn't be able to sustain it, nonetheless create it under natural circumstances!“I guess that's why the portal had ‘Aqus’ in its name. This is as watery as things can get.” He muttered, but no one under
Chapter 174 - Boar Meat
Timothy couldn't ignore the sensation he was feeling, he couldn’t turn a blind eye to it. He felt capable of summoning a portal that would lead him to the needle universe of Purpureus Mundi, and moments later, he decided that this was exactly what he wanted to do!Arvena was close to him, slicing through the boar meat, so he had to step away from her, for the sake of not compromising their meat supply with a random portal. It was best to be safe.“Let’s hope that the gods aren't playing tricks on me,” He mumbled.The following steps were purely instinctive, they were natural, and he felt as if he had lived with this ability for a hundred years now! It was a weird feeling. First he put his arms in front of his stomach, and then he got his hands very close to each other, but he didn’t lock his fingers together, he kept them an inch apart. “Purposes Mundi Aqus,” He whispered, partially against his own will.As a result, a tiny, black cloud appeared in between his hands! Its shade was as
Chapter 173 - Gread, Golden Mana
Three hours after midnight, Timothy successfully improved the quality of his mana. He now had the honor to identify himself as a bearer of Great, Golden Mana, and he was very excited about it! Despite the name, this didn’t mean that his mana had a golden color now, it was still as blue as the ocean, but it still was a great level to attain. This sort of mana quality was also known as level seven, and as of now, he only had to pass through another level, the eighth one, and then he'd have the opportunity to escape the God's Punishment Realm of mana once and for good!“Oh… my god.” He grunted, as his spine cracked tens of times while he tried to straighten up, and then he muttered. “Whatever it is like to get chewed up and swallowed by a Demon Beetle, I understand it, this has to be a similar feeling.”Timothy felt like all sorts of things. He felt like he was hit by a big truck, by an airplane too, or any other vehicles really. He felt like he was run down by all of them, and rightful
Chapter 172 - The Tar
Timothy, Skendus, Ortana, Arvena, and Gustav explored Valporovus together. Their target was clear, they wanted to get to the Ruins of Aqumus, with the hopes of accumulating great amounts of mana there! The team has been on the air for a couple of days now, their dragons really came in handy in terms of proper transportation, so it wouldn't take long until they finally reached the ruins, it may take them a couple more weeks. They were very enthusiastic to reach the ruins, though one couldn't say that their progress, regarding mana quality improvement, has been slow. The team was doing fine, and with minimal trouble throughout their flight, their mana had mostly been accumulating!Since their mana accumulated, the weakest members of the team could upgrade their mana quality soon! They could either choose to initiate an upgrade, or spend the mana over a period of time, they had those couple of options. The latter option would be less than ideal, because a better mana quality would do th
