2024-12-14 18:25:18Tim and his slave masters noticed a huge entity. The entity wasn’t only big, it looked really weird too, and from what he could understand, these ghostly snakes feared the said entity a lot! Even though the snakes were transparent, he could see how they in a way, shivered in fear!
He couldn’t help thinking, “Hmm… maybe this can be my way out, towards freedom, cause these fuckers look really scared. It’s weird that they are scared, because this big motherfucker looks a lot like them, except it's green. I’m no scientist, but maybe she’s their mother, a big ass mother or something? It's possible.” There were a lot of things to think about here. Tim was not a thinker inherently, so his conscience was really strained right now as he tried to figure things out. The said, green entity wasn’t making any sudden moves either, so he didn’t really know what to make of this encounter, as he was not in danger. He could only guess that this encounter was either parental, or hostile, but that on itself wasn’t really a wide variety of guesses. He was quite clueless. Tim was certain about one thing, however, the slithering plague snakes were struggling right now. That was a fact, and this solid fact expanded even further, as the huge, green, and slithering entity demanded it so. The snakes struggled, because the opposing entity was forcefully reverting them! Reversions for entities was similar to utter enslavement! These snakes, which originally had a black-looking exterior, were forced to adapt with different shades now, specifically, the color which this bigger entity bore! They did not like this at all, they even protested. Tens of snakes from the same species, then appeared out of thin air, to attempt and fight the opposing, larger entity, but their effort was futile! All of them got enslaved in seconds, and now, they collectively obeyed their new master’s bidding. Timothy, however, was free of enslavement. Those snakes weren’t influencing him anymore, not at all, and the larger, quite elongated entity, wasn’t really looking to enslave him either. The entity preferred these slithering plague snakes, for some reason, so Tim, and the rest of the entities that these snakes had enslaved over the last couple of days, were now free of enslavement, as free as an entity could be. They could sport their rights of freedom once more, and this, at the moment, was the most wonderful feeling in the world! “I did not expect this at all, then again, the skies are pretty fucking weird to begin with.” He thought, “At least I’m free, nothing else matters, hehe.” Tim wasn’t amongst the wisest of men, but he knew a couple of things really well. For example, he knew when to put up a fight and he also knew when to flee. Since the green entity was busy enslaving those snakes, he took the opportunity to slowly, and cautiously back away. Odds were that the entity wasn’t going to chase him to begin with, but still, he knew not to make any sudden movements. This was a good decision, and for multiple reasons too! As a meat-eating predator himself, he knew that anything that moved frantically, would attract the attention of a predator. Based on that logic, even if this green entity didn't want to enslave him, if it saw Tim suddenly floating away quickly and abruptly, the entity may be encouraged to chase him. This was common sense for a fish such as himself, and Tim was very happy that for once, he was embracing said common sense. Slowly and cautiously, Tim fled. The green, elongated entity went on its merry way too! He was safe now, or at least, he felt safe. He sighed as thoroughly as an entity could sigh, and thought. “Well, I wasted two days of my life just like that. My body must be starving, cuz I don't think that I ate enough crab meat for it to support long trips like this. At this point, it would make sense if I didn't have a body to get back to, hell, for a moment I even forgot that I had a fucking body. The punishment fits the crime.” Once he thought about that, the system then interrupted. [The punishment is death, Timothy. Your body back there is fit to survive two days without food, three at most, so you're really stretching your luck out here right now. I suggest that you try to return to your body as fast as you can.] “That's a bit of a problem, then. It would take another two days to get back to my body, and I don't think I have enough time to do that.” He followed along. Tim had been eager to explore the skies, and at some point, he even forgot that he owned a body. Such negligence had consequences, and although he had been the victim of slavery so far which was what made him waste a lot of time, he still had to face the rough consequences of this trip. He couldn’t float back home, not in time at least, so he was quite in some trouble right now. Factually, this situation only had one solution. He had to be directly attacked by another entity, in order to deplete his essence-based health bar, and if he was to survive, he had to act quickly! With that considered, he quickly came up with a plan. “Hey! Dragon guy, green dildo, can you hear me?! You planty bastard, hey, please, come shoot at me!” He exclaimed. Timothy was an entity right now, however, so he couldn’t really speak. His exclamations were more of very insisting thoughts, rather than words, he wasn’t loud. For that matter, he really hoped that the green guy which he had put effort in to avoid earlier on, could read minds, or hear him in whatever way possible at the very least, as he really needed some help! He was looking to get shot, in whatever means possible. Just then, he realized why the ‘green dragon’ had such an advantage. It had been about fifty meters away, initially, but as Timothy yelled out, the green entity suddenly appeared right in front of him! It was fast, powerful, and apparently very communicative too! It had all the advantages! In an instant, it transmitted a thought, which stated. “Never call me a green dildo again, or else I will smite thee with the power of a thousand suns! The mana is my sun, my enlightenment, and I will use it as the gods permit, trust me on that!”

Timothy didn't expect to communicate with this green, dragon-shaped entity whatsoever. In fact, he hadn't communicated with any entity at all so far, so he was surprised when this green one answered his call. Of course, he was the one who provoked the green one to begin with, but he was still surprised!He thought, “Well shit…”This situation was a bit of a surprise, so he didn’t really know what to do. He felt stumped at first, but within seconds, he figured that the best plan here was for him just to act natural, this was his solution. He only had to be himself, in order to manipulate the situation to his favor!Tim only had to annoy the entity, so he then transmitted a very coherent thought, citing. “You heard me right, and I won't be taking anything back, green weirdo. Mana is your sun, huh? That's nothing new in our magical world, so don't consider yourself holy and shit, don't act all unique, cuz you're just another stupid ghost, hahaha!”The idea was to irritate the entity as m

[Congratulations, Timothy. According to my calculations, you've had a 382% growth in bodily size. Something that's worth pointing out, is that this increase in size didn't go parallel with your previous bodily statistics. Specifically, a good portion of the growth sprout was concentrated on your body-weight, for balance's sake, you’re pretty heavy now. The crab meat really knew what it was doing.] The system said.Tim was still feeling an adrenaline rush, so he didn’t process the other's words so carefully, no. He focused on a couple of things only, specifically, the aspects of the upgrade that he didn’t like, and he formed a question based on that.He asked, “So the crab meat made me really chubby? That's nothing to be happy about, system!”Slowly and punctually, the system explained. [Actually no, that's not what I meant. The sprout focused on your body weight, because otherwise you would end up looking really weird. You used to weigh a pound only, and a 382% increase in weight isn'

“There is, huh? Looks like there's a fucking upgrade for everything!” Tim partially celebrated.He was also angry, however, so he then added. “Why didn't you tell me about the upgrade before, instead of making me eat a bunch of panzer crabs just to get bigger!?”[The upgrade wouldn't have done you any good before,] The system answered, [It's pretty expensive, and it can only make your body smaller than it already is. The upgrade wouldn't help you become larger, and it would have stunted your already impressive progress. I'm sure you would've wasted a lot of time, if you went around fighting bacterias rather than mages.]Tim was still irritated, however, he was also somewhat reasonable, he embraced common sense. He didn’t argue with the system, but instead, he became solution oriented about the issue.He asked, “Okay then… how much am I supposed to pay for the upgrade?”Tim asked that question while he swam. The situation he was in had multiple problems, and thanks to these problems, h

Timothy ate a fish, and then another. He was supposed to, as most stingrays were carnivores, and loved to eat meat. However, he had approached this school of fish in a less than rithmic way, and this was inevitably problematic. Fish weren’t the brightest creatures in the world, not by a stretch, but they were smart enough to understand some forms of rhythms. The social complexity of a mega-school of fish, naturally had some rules, and if someone broke those rules, a bunch of fish within the school were bound to notice! The rules were simple. For example, huge fish who preferred solidarity, knew to swim slowly within such crowds, they were typically very relaxed as they knew better. Smaller fish were more frantic, but they knew enough not to separate from their groups or respective subgroups, and this was what kept most of them alive. Those were the couple of little rules that such large crowds of fish followed, however, it was problematic that Timothy didn’t follow any of such soci
I'm a Stingray? Chapter 42 - Green Veins
Tim swam forward for a few more meters, before he unleashed another wall of fire within the waters. He still didn't understand how his fireballs were water resistant, but as long as they did what they were supposed to, he did not question their mysterious nature. He used the fire's collective, wall-like results to eradicate the things that had threatened him, and he succeeded as a result, he won the battle.“That should be the last of them,” He mumbled, “I spun my tail like it was some fucking helicopter blade! Spun it longer than I wanted to… I didn't even know that my thin ass tail could get so exercised.”The things that he was saying were as horrendous as ever, but this time, he said them with the pretext of irritation. He was irritated, because he felt worn down and still hungry, and overall really challenged. He had enough reasons to excuse the nonsense that he just spewed.Then, the system came along to twist his feelings even more. A couple of things had happened over the cour

Timothy ate a bunch of small fish, about sixty of them. After that, he had to put an end to his seafare. He had dared to explore the open ocean, because hunger had encouraged him to do so, but now, it was time to go back home. He didn’t necessarily have to go back to the reef, but he still had to hide somewhere, preferably a spot where there wasn't a dark, bottomless pit below him. He wanted to feel safe, because there was a purchase option that he wanted to buy.Timothy wanted to, and quite frankly, he had to buy that micro shift ability. The ocean was treacherous and unforgiving, even more so, to the 3.5 meter long, swimming disk that was Timothy. For that matter, he simply had to buy this ability, and alter his size to fit any environment better.The system encouraged his motives as well as she could. She even gave him the greenlight from her side, regarding the purchasing matter. Apart from that, she also had something else to say.She said, [Congratulations, Timothy! You've accum

The purchase he bought didn't go easy on him. Tim had hoped to have a painless experience, but that request was out of the system's hands. She tried to grant his little wish, but inevitably, it was the brute pain that knocked him out, rather than anything else!He did not have a fun time, especially in the beginning. However, he was sound asleep throughout most of the implementation of said purchase, which all facts considered, was the only type of mercy he got as a result. The process itself took four hours, it wasn't fun!Tim woke up, about two hours after the purchase was implemented. He felt both well rested and worn down, at the same time, which was quite a sensation! The process had put his body into a strain, so it wasn't a surprise how he felt chewed up and spat out! It mattered more that he was alive, however.The system cheered him up even further, as she bashed a couple of notifications on his face. One was relative to the previous task, and the other notification was more

“A bubonic what?” Tim asked.After hearing that name, his explorative urges went down for a second. He was really intimidated by the name, and considering that the reward for killing one of them was decent, he could only guess that they were really dangerous!He frantically repeated, “Bubonic, huh? I'm not planning to get sick for some points, system.”[It's called a bubonic shifter, mind you. Odds are that you won't get sick from them, as long as you play it safe. Use your deflective magic, you have the extingus breath ability for a reason, it deflects magic, use it more often.] She followed along.“What should I expect from a bubonic shifter then? Help me be more prepared, system.” He tried to pressure the other.[They shift,] She answered, [Shapeshift, to be exact. That is one of their main powers, and also, they can shoot plague darts out of their nostrils. They're interesting creatures, but bubonic nonetheless, so it's a good deed to kill one, or more of them.]“Nostrils, huh? Bl

[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

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

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
