Timothy was decent at bargaining. Some might even say that he's decent at everything, including planning!

When he started out as a stingray he made some stupid decisions, and that was only natural considering that he had actually been stupid back then, with a low IQ and all, but today, most would consider him the smartest man that they've ever seen! A third-person perspective would help the masses get to the conclusion that he was a genius.

For example, even though the situations he got into got crazier every other day, the main difference in recent events was that he got each situation under his complete control, regardless of the underlying details! Sure he was a polar bear right now, grabbing the head of a huge, angry Frost Orc mamma who might attack him at any minute, but the situation was still under his control. He may seem like a shaman who was trying to heal the wicked, but perspective didn't taint his goals.

The deal he made with this dragon today, gave him every bit of advan

    The experiences that the team had in the North Pole, was a mix of interesting, and utterly boring events. They spent a lot of time doing repetitive tasks, most of their time actually, and things only got interesting when they saw dragons!Furthermore, the task of finding dragon eggs had been daunting, as they had to try everything in order to adapt to the challenges of the arctic. It had been challenging for them, as they were not used to such an environment whatsoever. Once they started getting used to the environment, and actually reached a milestone, they discovered that it was brutal to steal a mother’s unborn kids, despite what their mission encouraged. At least, they were convinced that it was brutal, so they ended up giving the eggs back, which at first felt nice and like the most moral thing to do, but this also had a negative effect on their minds later on, as they could feel their brain slowing down. Initially they had thoroughly believed that stealing eggs was the absolut

    Timothy and the team were on the right island, but unfortunately, they couldn’t snap into the ghost world just yet. The Explorative Soul ability had a seven-day cooldown timer, and it so happens that they used the ability six days ago, when they were at the North Pole and while they were looking for dragon eggs. It was disadvantageous, but they had no other option but to respect the cooldown timer. They waited a day, they had to, but since they got bored after the first hour of waiting, the team put themselves into work, to make their stay here a lot more comfortable, and perhaps a little bit less unbearable. Timothy went out fishing, since he was the best at it without a doubt, so after a couple of hours he showcased his skills, by bringing a fat, blue-fin tuna on the island's beach. These waters had a lot of tuna fish swimming around, and the cold-ish temperatures didn't seem to bother them much.This was a good catch overall. When he turned into a stingray, the sea’s challenges s

    “I look… human enough.” Tim spoke to himself. Timothy had assumed the form of a big, tough, brown-haired male. Having entered the Tamed Entity realm of mana the last time he was here, Timothy’s soul became strong enough for him to shapeshift with it, in a way, so he assumed his ideal form. He remembered idolizing Eddie Hall back on earth, so he turned himself into a taller version of that guy! He was happy.Although it was difficult to integrate into it, the ghost world actually had a lot to offer, with shapeshifting being the smallest benefit of them all, though it was still useful. In this case, the team were in a literal ghost city, and the benefits of this place might outweigh what most physical, human cities could offer! The phantom City of Fortuna was simply wonderful, no doubt about it. The team visited the city with an agenda in their minds. Their agenda circled around Mana Brackets, or overall information regarding that topic.They knew that the ghost city itself couldn’t r

    The team left the phantom City of Fortuna as quickly as they entered it. This time they dragged two more people into the physical world, so the team now bore six, wonderful members. A group of six was a bit crowded for a friend group, but they didn’t mind, and believed in the phrase which cites ‘the more the merrier’ - As progress-seeking mages, they also understood that there was strength in numbers!A good example was that their newish task, or quest in front of them was bound to be a difficult one, so in hindsight, it seemed all the more advantageous to approach the quest as a crowd! Arvena cited that they were going to need a strong arsenal of powers if they were to succeed in attaining those ancient rings, the rings that were supposed to remove their mana brackets.The location that she had read about in those phantom books, was going to mess up their home-aimed trajectory quite a bit. In simple words, in the future, they would get back home if they kept heading south, but in thi

    Timothy rushed across the forest, until he got closer to the source of the ‘unique thoughts’ that he picked up on. He was infinitely happy to finally find Lena, the frog that he was looking for, so he ended up tripping a couple of times, unsurprisingly, but that didn’t stop him!Eventually, he ran into this old, big, rotten tree that Lena had mentioned, and once he did, he started looking around more thoroughly. The tree was bigger than he had imagined, it was a knocked down, thirty meter long, and three-meter wide species of sorts that he could not recognize. Portions of the tree were hollowed out, which made a perfect home for various creatures, frogs included.“Lena, where the hell are ya?” He shouted out.After he shouted, he heard some rustling across various portions of the dead tree. He had scared the animals around here, and it was more than likely of a fact that frogs could not understand the goblin tongue whatsoever. The two species were not genetically related to one anothe

    With Lena as a brand new addition, the team of five became a team of six. In the world of magic, a bigger team oftentimes was better, even in this case where Lena was significantly weaker in comparison to the rest of the group. Once she caught up with everyone else, she'd be another power-ampted mage that the world had to deal with!Anyway, apart from being a stunning Phantom Alchemist, Lena also had a big heart. She couldn't part with her family just like that, and she didn't want to leave them vulnerable either, so she began to bargain with Timothy.“Looks like I'm leaving home forevers, or for a very long long time, Tim. I won't see them for a while…” She expressed. Afterwards, she requested. “Can't you make them stronger as well? They have to protect themselves, and they can't spend the rests of their lives in a tree… Trust me, it's really boring.”“Oh, I believe that.” His eyes widened, “To me, being bored is worse than being hit by a fireball, and I'm not kidding, so, any speci

    Timothy and the team flew north-west for five days. They flew towards this direction, because that was where the ‘ancient rings’ were supposed to be.Now, the team barely understood what Arvena was talking about when she mentioned these rings, but most of them knew to be cautious around her. Due to her past behaviour, they didn’t trust her much, and as a response to such lack of trust, as they traveled, they’ve been asking her a lot of questions about these rings. Arvena tried to be secluded, and secretive about the matter, but Timothy didn’t allow it. Being a mind reader, she reminded her that he could read her mind, regardless if she wanted to share the information or not.This was what made her cooperate, and after she started sharing more information, the team discovered that Arvena had actually been protecting them from the truth, rather than hiding it selfishly. Bottom line, the ancient site that they were visiting was quite dangerous, and it was especially dangerous for the co

    Timothy’s fourth plan would be considered simple for the average dark mage. For example, the average necromancer would simply reanimate old corpses, and have them rise from the ground regardless of how old they were, oftentimes they were skeletons, even, but with Timothy, that was not the case and his methods weren’t as simple. He wanted his slaves to be self aware, conscious, fully healthy, and he wanted them to know what they were fighting for. Such a thing was difficult to ask for even from an Expert Mage, because one could not mimic life itself that easily, but Timothy had cleverly found loopholes, or shortcuts. He was merely a new Adept Mage now, but this fact didn’t matter much, because he had created his first slave when he was technically considered a beginner, and now, he should be able to create them at almost triple the speed!The main advantage that he had, was the fact that he had a high MQ, which stood for Mana Quoitent, or cognitive ability when it came to the understa

    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
