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

    [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

    “Haha-” Tim released a fake laugh, “The fish planted them, huh? That makes sense.”Afterwards, he tried to force a question in, as he wanted some information. “So it is you who planted them, then… judging from the marks on your wrists, you crossed a few realms already, so you must've harvested a bunch of roots in your lifetime yourself?”“I have, yes.” Genta answered, and in the meantime she was looking upwards, and then she asked. “What year is it in Valporovus now? I've been told that time moves differently back home when we're in needle universes.” “Years…?” Timothy stretched his question, and then remarked. “I'm not sure they count the years back home, no city that I know of, at least. They just count moons.” “Oh, dear… the Religious Era then?” She grunted, she was very distressed. “I'm in trouble, I've been here for too long. According to my calculations, when I cross that portal, I'll teleport somewhere around five-thousand years back in time, or… at your contemporary time. Th

    The eighteen mana roots were completely depleted, so there was no point in hanging around in this needle universe anymore. They could spend a bit more time here to mess with the giant fish, sure, but that was about all of the activities that they could do, there wasn’t anything else. Purpureus Mundi Aqus was otherwise really desolate, so desolate, that the team didn’t even understand how all the fish hadn't starved away already!This sea was barely a kilometer wide, so it shouldn't be able to support such huge fish, and yet that wasn't the case, there were plenty of them in the vicinity. This was very puzzling, sure enough, but they had to leave nonetheless, because they got more out of this place than they originally wanted. They were content, so they swam upwards as if they were satisfied girlfriends, even, their stride was rather jolly!At the surface, they met Gustav, and Tim was happy that the old lady didn’t attack his friend here. Although Gustav consumed less mana roots in com

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 183 - The Old Sea

    The team beamed through the air, and made it to the vicinity of their destination in two weeks time. It was very easy to travel when they had dragons to their side, and not to mention, the dragons became a bit faster and stronger ever since their mana leveled up! A greater mana quality seems to give them very physical features, such as strength, speed, and tougher scales! This made sense.Iron Claw the Wicked has had very tough scales, which hinted that his mana quality had also been very high, perhaps several realms above the common member of the platoon that attacked it! The math was easy to follow.Anyway, the team landed in the vicinity of the Ruins of Aqumus, point being that they were about twenty kilometers away from the ruins. The team were on the shores of The Old Sea, and had made camp there for a few days.Originally they would just shapeshift, and then stride the waters, but they couldn’t leave Gustav behind, as he was their newest member who changed their calculations. He

    “My god… it feels so nice to have these motherfucking stingray wings again. I bet I could swim more than 100 km/h with these bad boys, faster than any fish could ever swim!” He thought, and this train of thoughts was giving him a sort of euphoria, he felt as if he was in the clouds!The fact of the matter was that plenty of fish could outswim him, even those who didn't have a strong magical arsenal to aid them, but he was avoiding all facts right now. He was in a deep fantasy land, and it might even be dangerous to pull him out of it.Anyway, the team of five managed to travel two whole kilometers already, and as of now, they were nearly five hundred meters below the sea surface. They had swam deep enough to feel a great deal of the water pressure around them, and they were very well aware that the water pressure could kill them if they pushed such limits.Caution was mandatory, however, the odds were that the other challenges which The Old Sea posed, could kill them quicker than the

    The team continued to swim through The Old Sea. Arvena had never been to the Ruins of Aqumus before, but she firmly believed that it was easy to find the location, on the count that the ruins are huge. It shouldn't be hard to miss them, even under the sea. Furthermore, she's read enough books about it to know how to analyze her surroundings within The Old Sea, she even labeled herself an expert! Progress was inevitable. They were five kilometers away from the sea shores right now, and although they weren't in danger, this was where they met with a bit of a barricade. The sea floor was at a higher elevation here, they were up against an underwater hill of sorts, point being, they had to swim upwards, and above it! Considering that their muscles twitched while they swam upwards, it meant that this was no different from climbing an actual hill. It was tiring.However, there were benefits to this ‘climbing’, because once they swam up to the top of the hill, they started feeling a lot les

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 186 - Exploding Sleketons!

    The Raptor Orclets were horrible creatures that harassed The Old Sea, and its borders. They were nothing short of weird lizards who shouldn't be in the water to begin with, they were invasive creatures, and the sea didn't have room for them, but yet they were adaptive as much as they were invasive! This micro universe was said to be a few thousand years old, but that may not be the case. Some of the recorded goblin history may be a few thousand years old, but this universe was a lot older than that, potentially a few million years old, even! The fact that these odd, Raptor Orclets had evolved to live in the sea, was a hint of how old the universe was. Unless the raptors found a way to adapt magically, then their grand harassment of the sea was an advantage that built up slowly, over the course of a few million years! “Shoot em, you bastards! Don't move around like old, demented ladies!” Timothy shouted. At this point he had stopped shooting lightning bolts, on the count that th

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 187 - Sea Orc

    Timothy kept blowing up every Raptor Orclet that headed towards him. It was a brutal way to handle things, but considering that the raptor swarm fled only once most of their swarm was wiped out, he hadn't had any other option but to fight them. Exploding their skeletons was his way of fighting them cheaply, and killing them quickly!The battle cost him well over one-hundred-and-fifty thousand mana points overall, so he wasn’t too excited about him and the team winning the battle here. Quite the opposite, it further deepened the paranoia that he felt about this sea, because if a swarm attacked them for no good reason whatsoever, he could only imagine how hard other creatures would fight if large quantities of mana were in question! With that said, each meter he swam towards the ruins, seemed like a personally signed death certificate to him!Timothy wasn't enthusiastic, but then again, he did win a lot of points throughout this battle. He ended up exploding the skeletons of forty-four

    Garry was led to the burrow of the groundhog he befriended. The burrow was close by, several meters away, and it didn’t quite look appealing from the outside, which was expected, as the burrow only had a couple of holes that they considered entrances.Well, one entrance was a fake one. It led nowhere, and it was used to keep predators busy, such as foxes.The other entrance led to the deep interior of the burrow, and quite frankly, Garry was astounded when he squeezed into it. This was no mere home with weak, dirt walls to hold it up, no, as everything within the burrow was enhanced by a six-inch layer of carved stone! The stone walls within the burrow weren’t placed randomly. They weren’t bumpy, but rather, they were smooth, and had these rows of symbolic words carved into it with a language that he could not understand. Nevertheless, he was impressed.“Woa…” Garry sighed, as he looked at the walls around him.“Why are you loafing about here?” The guiding groundhog asked. “This is o

    As of recently, Garry was at the pinnacle of his life! He became an Arch Mage at a fairly young age, young for a demonic basilisk, at least, and ever since he got to this rank, he had eased up on a lot of his beliefs or principles, and was just enjoying his life.In hindsight, he didn’t care much to progress into the following rank, which was that of an Arch Magus. He figured that such a title was years away from him, if not decades, so he simply didn't think about it much. He wasn't worried that he stumbled into another mana bracket as soon as got to the third level of the seventh realm of mana. He was okay with it.Initially, one of the main reasons he chose to stay in this universe rather than going back to the universe of hell, was because he wanted to help Timothy, his former summoning master, progress. He felt indebted to help Timothy, because he had saved him from deadly wounds back in those old ruins, so he chose to stay.However, he couldn’t help Timothy progress all that muc

    “Freedom… it outweighs everything in the world, be it mana or gold.” She thought, as she breathed in the crisp air at the crack of dawn.Fortana was up in the sky, along with her dragon, and she was now about forty-kilometers away from the City of Fik. She decided to leave the city for a short while, for two reasons.Firstly, she and her team were stuck in the city for an undetermined amount of time. Timothy said that they’d be stuck in the City of Fik for around a month, but she figured that they’d be stuck there for several months, and she could not remain stationary for that long. She spent most of her life stuck in the Dungeons of the Old, and now that she had gotten a taste for freedom, she could simply not remain in one place for long, otherwise she would either sink into depression, or suffer through wave after wave of anxiety. She didn’t like it.The second reason why she left the city was primarily related to her self-absorbed need to improve her arsenal. Most Expert Mages ha

    The eight-hundred Expert Mages that joined the frontline were quite capable. They were very useful on the count that Timothy and his team spent a few hours nudging them in the right direction, and once they got a hang of what to do, there was no stopping them!Ten more shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orcs had tried to attack the city before sunset, and the Expert Mages, otherwise known as the city's soldiers, had killed them all! They killed them without losing a single man or woman in the exchange of attacks.They discovered that the giant orcs had this odd ability to toss exploding fireballs around almost randomly, but they worked around it. Ten mages shot fireballs at the giants to overwhelm them, essentially blind them, and then twenty mages snuck below the line of fire, and froze the giants solid! This method worked like a charm, and Timothy had helped them develop it, so the mages didn't lose arms and legs during their many fights.The dark giants helped them. Fortana insisted for the

    Timothy needed about ten minutes to explain to Cornelius everything that had happened over the past hour. It was quite difficult to explain such a complex matter to a man that did not care, but he got through to him eventually. At the end, Cornelius bluntly added, “I understand. You accidentally killed what, like five-hundred soldiers? It happens.”Furthermore, he added, “But if you want to mask your mistake properly, you best add a couple more frozen giants. You can sell your story easier to the city officials if you say that five giants went neck to neck with the city’s best mages.”“Right,” Tim nodded, and then he communicated with Fortana telepathically, and got the tip across to her, even though she was forty meters away. “Add two more frozen giants. It’ll be more believable.”While Fortana got into work, he turned to Cornelius, and asked, “You don’t care about this city at all, do you? Genuine question. Are you only loyal to yourself?”“I’m only loyal to my pool progression, an

    “What the hell was that! Aren’t your giants supposed to be under your control?” Tim pressured.Rattled, Fortana answered, “They are under my control. However, if hundreds of people charge at them, they’re gonna defend themselves no matter what I say. Those stupid bastards dug their own grave.”“We have a big problem here,” He said. “Anyone who can put two and two together will think that we killed the soldiers. We cannot afford to be banished from the city.”Fortana was aware of that, and for a moment she felt helpless, however she then came up with an idea that sounded plausible. She swiftly created a giant, one that looked a lot like the Ancient Sea Orcs that they’ve been killing, but she avoided giving life to the giant, and just froze it in place.Afterwards she created two more of these replicas, and placed all of them in front of the soldiers along with the first, frozen giant. By all means, she was trying to fake a battle scene.“There you go,” She said. “The sea orcs froze the

    The barricade of ice that Timothy had created was holding strong. Now the barricade wasn’t much taller than the sea itself, but it was dense, it reached almost at the bottom of the ocean for the most part, so it was a great tool in terms of keeping the Ancient Sea Orcs away. The ice barricade may even last several days, on the count that the temperature around, and within the ice was quite low. The mild summer rays would need days to melt through it.Anyway, Timothy had hoped that the system would inform him that he had successfully killed one of these sea orcs, through the barricade alone. He was hoping that he had frozen one of them solid, but this did not appear to be the case.By all odds, any of the remaining sea orcs who originally planned to walk their way out of the sea, were scared off as soon as the temperature of the water around them dropped significantly. When Timothy thought about the matter this way, he further confirmed his theory that the creatures he was dealing wit

    Timothy initially wanted to take the battle to the sea, and kill every last Ancient Sea Orc out there. That was his idea this morning, however, they had barely thought about what they would do if the sea orcs brought the battle up here beyond the shores!It was normal that they hadn’t thought about it, because in a normal situation, sea creatures shouldn't walk. It wasn’t natural. Timothy was dumbfounded, however, he also understood that it was imperative that he and the team stayed here, in front of the beach, so as to prevent any remaining sea orc from attacking the City of Fik. They had to stay, until backup arrived.Today, the city had proved themselves utterly unprepared when it came to managing a disaster. It was evident, so the team couldn’t, in good conscience, leave their spot until a bunch of soldiers arrived here on the beach, and manned the frontline. “Don't be discouraged, guys.” Tim tried to motivate his team. “Remember all the gold we're gonna make. At the very least,

    The team killed a shapeshifted Ancient Sea Orc a moment ago, and they were proud of it, as the battle had been swift, and their moves were effective. However, they did not expect to see four more of these giant monsters pop out of the sea! They were petrified.“Dragons, cover fire!” Timothy yelled out again.The dragons understood what those words meant now, so they didn’t have to be taught as much this time around in order for them to contribute. They started blasting fireballs towards the giants, and even though it was more difficult to push all four of them away, the contribution the dragons were putting into the battle was worthwhile! If not anything more, it served as a great distraction. Timothy then gathered his team of goblins, and the two giants that were also on his team, them being Garry and Gustav, and then they rushed into battle! The giants were less than forty meters away from them, and they wanted to take control of the situation before these monsters got the chance t
