“My very own monster… erg, fish? It's as if I'm Doctor Frankenstein, only without the creepy lightning.” He joked.

What he achieved here had a lot more math included in it, and of course, he was aided by what could be considered dark magic. It was dark, because he had disturbed this little guy's watery grave, gave it eyes, senses, a brain to think for itself once more, but he didn’t give it a soul. He couldn't do that as of now.

Sure the anglerfish looked happy, but Tim got sad once he remembered that this little guy's life was purely artificial. The anglerfish, and its insides in its entirety, would fade away in a few weeks if Tim didn't feed it any more mana by then, they would fade away, regardless of how realistic the little, four-inch fish seemed!

By his calculations, he had to feed his little slave here, a hundred points of mana by every end of the month, or else it would die, again! It would fade away.

Anyway, although the ethical aspects of his second experiment were very chal

    After these couple of successful experiments, Timothy went back to his den. His slaves tried to follow suit, but he ended up discarding most of them, particularly those bigger, useless skeletons. He didn’t want them flapping around aimlessly, without even a pair of eyes to call their own, so he disposed of them mercifully. However, he couldn’t find the strength to dismantle that little anglerfish, and the assfish that he had reanimated, it seemed cruel to kill them, so he allowed them to follow him, though he wasn’t sure what he was going to do with such useless creatures!Anyway, regardless of the ethical dilemmas regarding his experiments, Tim was still quite happy that he was able to recreate life! The MQ upgrade that he bought, may be one of the most important purchases that he had ever made, regardless of how expensive the purchase was! It was worth the points!Tim's understanding of magic had increased exponentially, and he was happy about that, though due to the same few experi

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 198 - An IQ of 170

    The Extingus Breath ability was like a forcefield for Timothy, except it wasn’t as strong as Ortana's force fields so he had learned not to depend on it. This ability mainly featured a blue mist, a cloud of sorts, so it wasn’t exactly physical.This ability was meant to dissolve attacks, more than it was to stop them dead on the spot. If he breathed out a bigger, and wider Extingus Breath, the cooperative blue cloud would be able to dismantle even bigger attacks, which was advantageous, but he hadn't fully figured out what this ability was capable of, so he'd rather proceed with caution.“Might as well buy it since it can protect me from evil shit, then! It doesn't cost anything to cast it either, so I could really use it.” He said.The system acted accordingly, she initiated the upgrade sequence. Within a few seconds, Tim experienced lock jaw, and although this wasn't too painful, it was rather immobilizing, because the lockjaw paralyzed a sizable portion of his upper body! He was ha

    Timothy was excited that he got a significantly higher IQ now! He was up at a scale where he would be considered a supreme genius amongst the fish world, he was one of a kind, and he'd be amongst the small percentage of absolute geniuses no matter what species he shapeshifted into! Be it a spider, a lizard, a goblin, or a human, he'd always be at the top in terms of intelligence! It was accelerating!However, intelligence didn't mean anything, if he didn't know how to put it into use. In this case, he wanted to use it so he, and his friends could survive whatever challenge was to be thrown against them after a couple of weeks. He wanted to survive The Old Sea with his friends, and surely, survival came hand-to-hand with great rewards!“I need an army,” He plotted, “Since we can't fight all these bastards in the sea without emptying our mana pools, I might as well make an army fight for us! System, can I give powers to my skeleton slaves?”Timothy asked that question, because he planne

    Timothy strode the sea to find creatures that he could kill, he wanted to collect a bunch more system points, but it didn't take long until his motives got him in trouble!The sea didn't intimidate him as much as it did before, so he was cocky as he swam. Tim could see up to five-hundred meters even within the depths of the sea, so his confidence wasn't exaggerated, however, he still was susceptible to sneak attacks!A giant squid emerged out of the sand, and Timothy happened to be floating right above it! The squid emerged out of the sand, and was just fifteen meters below him!It flung one of its eight, fat arms towards him, but he evaded it. He Dual Casted, and swam forward at 60 km/h! Afterwards, he looked back, and noticed that the squid was well over seventy meters long, and forty meters wide! It was truly giant!“How the hell did it even hide in the fucking sand!?” He asked himself, as he stared at the giant squid.Once he noticed the sharp, fiery features on its tentacles, he

    Timothy may have risked his biscuit a lot recently, it was especially stupid for him to explore the deep seas alone, but he did so anyway, despite his massive IQ that may advise him otherwise. He survived the attempts he made, regardless of the odds that were stacked against him, however, after destroying that giant squid, in all his confidence, he decided that he'd rather not leave his bony den for a while.The den was safe, it was thick, it was secure. So, after filling his belly with about forty pounds of squid meat, he then left its massive carcass behind, and headed for the den.“No point in dragging that bastard around, I can't lift a twenty-ton squid, nah. Mother nature's gonna have to use it as a heavy, late dinner.” He thought to himself, but at this rate, he was mentioning mother nature so much that she might strike him down at some point.Anyway, although his words were edgy, he meant well. The Old Sea had an endless amount of hungry creatures, and their collective stomachs

  • I'm a Stingray?   Chapter 202 - "300 dark mana points per slave"

    Dark mana was a unique concept that Timothy had never heard of before. Sure he was aware that there were different types of mana, such as psidium, calidum, and flesh mana, each of which had special characteristics and demanded full dominance of one’s mana pool, but he never heard of dark mana! Necromantic powers being dark, apparently wasn't just a figurative speech!However, formalities aside, Tim cared more about if these new settings would help him complete his plans quicker, cheaply that is! He put himself in danger just to buy the Master's Will ability, and if this thing depleted his mana pool after creating a couple of slaves, then his plan was doomed to fail, doomed from the start!“Let’s see here…” He muttered, and brought his two new, little pets with him. “I'm going to have to destroy you, boys, but just for a minute! I'll bring you back shortly!”Timothy didn’t know if he could salvage their brains throughout the process of his new experiments, but he certainly wished to tr

    “We have feet,” The constructed goblins remarked, as they analyzed their own bodies. “Why does my head hurt?”Timothy saw how confused they were getting, and rightfully so, because they shifted from being fish with a total of four IQ points, to fully functional goblin geniuses! Under those conditions, it was obvious that they had a lot of questions, but they couldn’t figure everything out themselves, no matter how smart they were!For that matter, he decided to intervene, and answer the questions that he was sure that they would ask. “Hello, I am your master, and my name is Timothy. Let me answer a couple of your questions… you used to be dead, guys, there's no other way to explain that part. I'm guessing that you were dead for hundreds of years, until I reanimated your fish bodies, brought your old brains back, and gave you life. I'm certain you remember seeing me a few minutes ago.”“I remember,” The goblin, who used to be an anglerfish, answered.The prior assfish nodded as well, “

    Once Timothy made his first couple of slaves, there was no stopping him. He spent the day building tens of slaves, with the same method that he had used on Steve and Frank, and it was very effective!Timothy could build a single slave, in just under a minute, including the following, protective armor! He was certainly overpowered regarding the matter, as his high MQ was coming in handy, not only because of the fact that it had helped him create the Cheap Reanimator ability, but also because it gave him enough mental power to be very detail oriented. His high MQ was the only thing that he had to thank, it amped his dark abilities significantly! Anyway, even though he was capable of making goblin slaves quickly, he still refrained from doing so throughout every minute, because he didn’t want to deplete his dark mana entirely! At the fifty slaves mark, he had already spent twenty-thousand mana points, and his mana was yet to replenish the points he spent, regardless of how many breaks h

    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

  • Chapter 365 - Hydro, tainting

    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
