I'm a Stingray? Chapter 204 - "Would you hump a coconut crab, or..."
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
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 205 - The nine-week session
Originally, Tim and the team had decided to spend a month in the bony den of theirs, just so they could be more prepared to face the challenges of The Old Sea, but under the new circumstances, they decided to camp out for two months! They wanted to progress first, and survive second, but neither of these two things came without the other, so camping it out was a must!During this period, not only did they accumulate a lot of mana, but Timothy also made a massive army for the team to use! He had been very calculative about it, so at the end of the nine-week session he both had a decent army, and plenty of dark mana to fuel them! Technically he could extend his army of slaves almost endlessly, but that would be a bit of an overkill, so he decided against it.Since they were in the sea for two months, Skendus had flown out of the water to tend to the dragons, several times! He wasn't really a big fan of dragons, but he was the only one who could travel through such dangerous waters witho
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 206 - The Ruins of Aqumus
Timothy, the team, and his three-hundred slaves strode the sea, and they all had one goal in mind. They wanted to get to the Ruins of Aqumus, and there, they wanted to reap every ounce of mana that they could get!Considering how highly the ruins were spoken of, even his slaves could upgrade their mana quality, without meddling in the progress that Timothy and the team wanted to make. There should be plenty of mana to go around, though he swam about twenty meters forward, in front of everyone else, so he'd be the first in line to reap any and all mana quantities!Tim wanted to be first, because it would be weird if either of his slaves somehow ended up reaching a higher level of mana quality than him! It wouldn't only be weird, but disadvantages too, because he figured that a super-powerful undead guy would want a will of his own, rather than serve a master!The following adventures were bound to be perplexing, but mostly foolproof nonetheless, because with an army of his own, the cha
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 207 - Battle formation number 888
[+22 mana points][+35 mana points][+31 mana points][+90 mana points][+44 mana points]The system kept flashing the mana that Timothy gained, she flashed them at the corner of his left eye after every other second. This amount of mana wasn't a lot, but at least they were getting things started.Timothy's mana pool could fit one-point-eight million points, for example, it was absolutely massive, so he would need hundreds of thousands of stray mana points to circle his pool, if he was going to have a flash upgrade! It was a perplexing matter, but nevertheless, getting free mana was always exciting, so he was happy.“System, how many mana points do I need for a flash upgrade?” He asked.[Considering the great size of your current mana pool, you'd need to harvest 200,000 mana points in under a minute, in order for you to have a flash upgrade. It's a great amount, but it would've been even greater if it wasn't for the fact that your mana pool is full already!] The system beeped.“Eh… at
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 208 - Red-haired Guard Wyrm
“That's not a dragon, that's a wyrm!” Gustav corrected him.“Potato potato! Shoot the bastard!” Timothy commanded.The platoon had quite some time to attack it, given that the wyrm was still over three-hundred meters away from them. For the time being only those who could shoot lightning bolts, could actually hit the dragon, on the count of how far away it was, and these guys didn't hold back! Hundreds of bolts flew towards the wyrm, and when the wyrm reached the two-hundred meter mark, everyone who wielded fire so far, started shooting as well! This was where things started getting hot, and heavy.There was a sea of fire and lightning, melting through the actual, salty sea, as the countless attacks paved their way forwards! The wyrm didn't have any arms or legs, it was a bit of a slow swimmer, so it'll likely be killed before it even reached the one-hundred meter mark in the platoon's radius! At least, that's what they expected, but even though the wyrm was hit countless times, it di
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 209 - The Humanoids
[+450 points of mana][+328 points of mana][+799 points of mana][+487 points of mana]The system kept flashing these notifications at the corner of his eye, even after he experienced the flash upgrade. Although this amount didn't sound like a lot considering that he was within the holy, old city now, it was still a lot for an anglerfish! This was the very pinnacle of what this species could harvest.At this rate he might have another flash upgrade after a couple of minutes, and he was very excited about it! He waited for his mana pool to fill up, and in the meantime, he was looking at the paragraphs that the system flashed in front of him.[Congratulations! Your pool now bears blue, Yersinia Mana! That's the special name for having a level eight mana quality in the Fintelus’ Apprentices realm of mana! Yersinia, is an earlier version of the Bubonic Plague, and here in terms of mana quality, it too suggests explosive power, or, evolving power to be exact! It’s labeled as such, because
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 210 - The Monument
Performing covert actions was never easy, and it was especially difficult for a scheming anglerfish. He was having a hard time here!Nevertheless, it was best to be covert given the circumstances that they were in. Since a massive wyrm risked its own neck to keep Timothy, and his team away from the ruins, it was easy to put two and two together, and take the wyrm's warning seriously!It was absolutely stupid to attack the dark mages here directly, not unless the team knew what they were dealing with, and this was what brought Timothy here. He came alone, and as for everyone else, he created a temporary den where his team, and the platoon could hide in, as they didn't have to tag along! They were half-a-kilometer away from the ruins, and they were absolutely safe.Timothy's slaves have been ordered to protect his friends, and they were to carry out those orders to the end, regardless of what Timothy shapeshifted into today. Even if he turned into a mere ant, the influence he had on tho
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 211 - Hunched Humans
“Great! As if I had a lot of mana to begin with!” Tim remarked, sarcastically.The function of the pyramids in front of him was very clear now, they were purely put here to convert the abundant mana around them! It converted blue mana into dark mana!The humanoids here were practitioners of the dark, arcane arts, there was no doubt about it now. If they weren’t, there was virtually no other reason for them to convert the mana to begin with!“How the hell am I supposed to stop whatever these damned pyramids are doing?” He asked himself.Timothy had taken the responsibility of making these ruins safe to access, he assumed this task, but right now, he was stumped. There was no easy way to approach the task without risking his neck!“System…?” He pressured her, hoping for an answer, or for some help. [The pyramids are externally influenced by various sources, so I cannot help you with this matter. Considering that there’s an altar here, these pyramids might as well be down right demonic

Chapter 250 - "1,400 kilometers a day"
Turning into birds was perhaps the best idea they were ever presented with. The Arctic Tern had evolved to fly such great distances, regardless of how severe the temperatures around it might become, so all-in-all, this species seemed like their best option, their best mode of transportation!It was easy to turn into one of them as well. The system showed Timothy a video of how an Arctic Tern looked like, and he was able to replicate its form himself, by shapeshifting into one! The team followed suit, and it didn’t take any of them more than five minutes to shift, regardless of how they had mammalian bodies just a moment ago!“Fuck, I look a lot like a seagull! I just cannot understand why I hate seagulls so much.” Tim chirped, he was irritated.“Is this why you made us shapeshift into sailfish? Was it because you didn't want to look like a seagull?” Skendus asked, and he asked this question, because he knew his friend rather well.“Eh, partially. But also, sailfish look really cool.”
Chapter 249 - "Turn into a bug"
The time of day reflected in the phantom world, equal to the physical world. The sun rose from the east, and set to the west, so the team met at midnight after they spent a few hours away from each other. They met at the tavern where Ortana and Gustav were wasting their time at.They didn't intend to drink, however, because they had some strong conversations to hold with each other. Most of them found the phantom city of Fortuna very useful, so it wasn’t surprising how they wanted to stay here for a few weeks, and one of the main topics tip-toed around that matter!“We're all adults here, kinda… let's admit it, this city is amazing! We've only been here for a few hours, and I'm up an entire realm in my phantom mana pool already!” Timothy started out the conversation, “I could stay here for years if I could afford it, and I wouldn't regret it for a second!”“Oh, I would spend my afterlife here too, trust me.” Arvena followed along, “This city is a very literal example that immortality
Chapter 248 - The loving bride illusion
Souls and ghosts did not behave like normal, living beings, no, regardless of how they may sound at first sight. Ortana and Gustav discovered this first hand, after they found a tavern where they could have a drink at. The Fleshling drinks were strong, so it helped reveal the most raw version of the entities around them!In a word, everyone was simply terrified. At some point they even were scared of one another, because the alcohol they drank managed to shorten their memory severely, and they couldn’t remember what they were doing here, in the ghost city to begin with. However, somehow they did remember that they were ghosts, or transparent entities, and so were the others around them, so they got scared beyond the grave from one another, as they were reminded that ghosts were real, and not a fairy tale! It was apparently very common for everyone in the tavern to scream as much as they could.“They’re probably remembering that it’s weird for all these ghosts and souls to work togethe
Chapter 247 - Line toeing, and pool fragmentation!
The sect of illusion within the phantom city of Fortuna, was as secretive as one would expect it to be. There was no direct way to find it, it didn’t have a concrete location that one could just knock the door of, so it took a bit of work to get a hold of it, and its sect members!The only hint he had was that the sect was technically local to the city, or, its inhabitants were local, and for a while, that was all of the information that Skendus had to work with. He spent three hours looking for information as to how to enter the sect, and the information he gathered was purely based on rumors! Since he didn't have anything else to work with, he hoped that the rumors would get him somewhere, so he focused on them.One rumor suggested that a sect member would seek him out if he spent enough time looking for the sect, and he followed this idea, even though he was sceptical about it being a good idea to begin with! He knew that his time in the phantom world was limited, so even in this p
Chapter 246 - Phantom Potions
The purification process of the contents that Timothy had concocted in the cauldron, was as simple as it was complicated. In the grand scale of things, he wasn't building rockets here, for example, so one couldn't consider the process to be too complex, and in simple words, he was just purifying a combination of two gases here, nothing more. It wasn’t a ground-breaking task, however, if he was to be successful, there was still a minimum requirement of MQ that he had to meet, no matter how insignificant the task may be itself!The requirement towered at four-hundred and fifty points of MQ for this task, and he had crossed that requirement by exactly one-hundred points, so he could carry on with the purification process without restrictions. If he had visited this city a couple of months earlier, then he would've failed to meet the requirement indefinitely, which would've enthralled him to do stupid things afterwards, but luckily that was not the case. Anyway, in order to start the pro
Chapter 245 - Soul Manipulator
Lena had accepted Timothy as an illegal student of sorts, and she was about to teach him the basics of Phantom Alchemy! This branch of magic was very important, but it also required a set of skills and intelligence that most people, or entities, did not possess, so if Timothy even had the slightest chance to understand this craft, he had to start with the basics! Knowledge was one of the most valuable aspects of this craft.“First, you have to understand what souls are made of, Timothy. See when your soul is in your body, it's massless, almost insignificant, as it's attached somewhere between your conscious, and subconscious, deep inside your brain. However, when you choose to use any form of magic that separates your soul from your body, your soul can't be massless any longer, it turns into gas.” Lena explained.“Yeah, I've picked up on that. Since oxygen is also a type of gas, does that mean that my soul is currently made out of oxygen, amongst other gases?” He followed along.“No,”
Chapter 244 - "Froggy... date?"
The arts of phantom potion making were complex, and demanded a specific skill set dedicated to them. Timothy realized that as soon as he entered a chemistry workshop!Now, this line of work wasn't shunned upon, entities practiced it openly, and those who did practice it, were either really powerful or really wealthy, so they had nothing to hide. One could set up such a business in the ghost world, and if they were skillful enough, they could become really wealthy! Although the currency here was useless in the physical world, it was still the standard currency of trade here in the city, and across the entire Kingdom of Mors Florentes, meaning that hundreds of thousands of ghosts used this currency! It was a good place to be skillful.With all of that considered, Timothy could simply walk into the workshop, and its entities welcomed him into it, they didn't feel threatened at the sight of a stranger whatsoever. The workshop was well established, so they considered him a customer, and he
Chapter 243 - Tamed Entity - ROM
The ghost city the team popped up in, was very civilized, regardless of how ironic that may sound. Much like in a real, physical city, there was law and order here, regardless of how special and taylored the laws were. It was simply functional, and this functionality spread across the entire kingdom of Mors Florentes, rather than just the City of Fortuna itself!Their names were certainly interesting too. They were in latin, Timothy could pick up on that fact, but despite him not understanding how latin was used so often on this planet, he was also uncomfortable once he remembered how undead, and paranormal those names sounded. He didn't know when he started getting used to the paranormal, but when he stopped and thought about it, taking into perspective regarding where he was right now, he got spooked. If he had a heart in this form, it would've been pounding rapidly for a while!Anyway, the team started using the order that this city had, to their advantage. As a welcoming gift, the
Chapter 242 - "Who r u?"
“What the hell is this? Why is there a stone city in the middle of the fucking ocean?!” Gustav asked, in panic, breaking his average, honed composure.It was difficult to answer his question, because most of the team didn't realize what was going on either, apart from Timothy. Although he needed a moment to have a good look of his surroundings, he instantly knew where he was, and come to think of it, ending up in a city like this has been an aspiration of his ever since he used the Explorative Soul ability for the first time, several months ago.“We're in a ghost city, deep inside a ghost kingdom.” He answered, “I'm assuming that it's a more civilized place, cause these bastards here aren't randomly shooting at each other. As for the ‘stone’, it's just highly-altered gas, and even though I didn't know that one could play with gas clouds like this, I can still see the channels patterns they used to build the city! It's very impressive work, that's for sure, especially since the channel
