Chapter 600 - Ultimate goal
🕑 Added 2025-04-17 09:02:06 +0000 UTCYour performance up until now has been judged, and your role for the 8th floor has been picked. You have been assigned as Assistant Professor to Professor Elian.
And that's it. The notification disappears, and there is no more information. No goddamn map, no more details and stuff. The only thing that changes is my clothes, which go from a comfy white shirt and sweatpants to a black suit with a black shirt, jacket, and pants, paired with a light blue tie.
Before I complain, I look around. Everyone else wears different clothes and either rereads the message, scans the area, or gets used to the feel.
“Assistant professor as well?” Sophie stops by my side.
She is also wearing black clothes, with only her sweater being pale blue. Understanding her logic, I look around, and it seems like only the two of us are wearing this combination of colors.
As we start sharing information, it becomes more obvious.
Sophie and I as assistant professors.
Tess and Maya serve as guards for some more important noble students visiting the academy, wearing simpler clothes than Sophie and me. Their attire is similar in style but less luxurious, with gray as the prevalent color.
The twins, Izzy, Min-Jae, and Lily, all as Academy students, each wear white jackets and pants with a black shirt or sweater underneath. In a great insult, no, a slap to the face, Biscuit doesn’t wear any clothes. The best doggo of the 7th, no, 8th floor doesn’t get a cute suit or a tie.
And I ask myself: What the hell is this setting?
***
After an hour of planning and all that, we finally leave the room, bringing all of our stuff with us, yes, even the thermonuclear warheads. There is probably a joke to be made about bringing weapons to school, but I'm too exhausted just thinking about this setting.
The room we exit ushers us into a huge, beautiful garden. There are fruit trees, beautiful flowers, and multiple fountains that I am sure took more time to create than some skyscrapers on earth. The artwork and the inscriptions that guide the water flow are simply dizzying.
All around are small groups of students, all wearing the same clothes as the students in group 4. Most of them are humans, but I see some thylarin, and the race Beatrice and her father, the Archon, used to be, pink hair, pink skin, white freckles, and eyes made of a mix of green and blue.
Upon seeing them, we also notice a significant difference to the previous floors: No one has text above their head indicating their level or class.
We have decided to let go of our constant wide range scans, which almost everyone in our group has some version of. There is a high possibility that, similarly to the 2nd floor, something like this would be considered rude in a "civilized" nation. So everyone sticks to surface observations.
As we look around, I try to compare it to the 2nd floor, Lissandra's Eladore. The level seems somewhat similar in terms of inscriptions, but on the 2nd floor, we never visited the capital city for a better comparison. Still, currently, I go with the idea that they are somewhat similar, especially after recalling the current Floor quest. Just how can something ridiculous like a Ruler Candidate exist?
Slowly, everyone separates and heads in their own direction, keeping an eye on the countdown timer to meet again at the scheduled time later. There is no connection between us currently, as in an advanced area, it should be easily detectable by someone and could raise questions. It is a weird feeling after months of being so used to it.
I look down at two huge boxes with a gift from my sister and some other stuff, and I sigh, what now?
Then a voice calls from behind me, “Assistant Professor Gwyn, may I ask you where you have been the entire time?”
I turn around and immediately know I will hate this guy.
He is slightly taller than I, with blonde hair that is even blonder and longer than Tess has currently. His eyes are violet, and around his pupils shines a golden circle, a clear sign of Mana Wavelength Iris, the same trait I possess.
The man is wearing a suit in a style not dissimilar to mine. Unlike my all black attire with a pale blue tie, he has gray pants and a vest, and there is a round golden pin on his jacket.
“This is your first day, and yet you are already late and slacking somewhere in the gardens. And may I ask you what is with all this garbage?”
After gesturing at my stuff, he continues to let out a stream of very interesting and sometimes somewhat indirectly insulting words, and I notice he does so only loudly enough so that it does not carry far, and only after making sure no one sees him or listens. There is even a weak barrier flickering around us.
He lowers his voice further as a group of students passes by, and he greets them with a brilliant smile. A few girls in the group blush and start giggling, and a boy bows slightly, looking at him with clear admiration.
That smile remains only until they are gone, then he turns to me, “Do you not know how to talk?”
I shake my head. “I apologize, I got lost.”
He shakes his head and snaps his fingers, creating a fluctuation of very low frequency that spreads over the area. Only a few seconds later, a man appears, bowing and barely lifting his head from the ground.
It is likely a servant, and he asks politely, “What can I help you with, Professor Elian?”
“Pick up all this stuff and bring it into Assistant Professor Gwyn's office. And you,” he turns back to me, “I will see you later.”
With that, he leaves.
I allow myself to observe the servants that appear next to the first one as they efficiently collect all the baggage to bring it to the office I apparently have.
And I ask myself again: What the hell is this setting?

POV Earth
A man in an airtight suit enters the glass room. In the center, a stainless steel table holds the corpse of an animal. An unusually large brown wolf.
"So, what do you have so far?" the man asks.
The other two men in the room stop what they're doing and look up. Next to them is another table cluttered with various tools: broken scalpels, saws, knives, and an electric cutting saw.
"Yeah, we broke almost every saw, knife, and tool we had. The skin is far more durable than it should be, and the bones are incredible. The muscle tissue is much denser, and the organs are like nothing I’ve seen before," one of them says.
"Do you have the results from the scans we did earlier?"
"Not yet. By the way, sir, how the hell did someone manage to kill this thing?"
"That? They poisoned the corpse of an elk and left it nearby for the wolf to eat. Apparently, they used enough poison to kill an elephant instantly, maybe more, and it still took hours. But never mind that. We have another one for you tomorrow."
"Oh? What is it this time?"
"One of those huge ants that have started spreading across Africa."
"Well, I won’t complain, sir, but I’ll need a bigger budget, better equipment, and more staff."
"You’ll get whatever you need. There’s no budget limit."

POV Earth
“Have you seen? Out of nowhere, the Moonster started moving and twitching as if it were dying.”
“I don't think there is anyone who hasn't seen it; there are live-stream telescopes focused on that spider 24/7. Didn't it have those spasms for days?”
“Yup, poor little girl.”
“Hehe, sure, so what did you want to say? What conspiracy have you heard?”
“Nothing like it this time! I got a notification just a few hours ago, and it seems like she is okay now and has started creating some sort of web around the place.”
“She?”
“Well, Luna, now Moonster, everyone calls her 'she'.”
“Damn it, man. By the way, have you seen these AI CGI videos? People flying, shooting flames, lightning and stuff?”
“Yeah, but they keep taking them down. And aren't these guys saying all on the videos is real?”
“They are. Some of the clips are wild.”
“…Man, I just wanted to watch cat videos.”
“Same. Now I’m out here questioning reality because some guy lit up like a lightbulb and floated into the sky.”
“And no one talks about it on the news.”
“Of course not. They’re still busy covering that senator cheating on his wife and that huge sinkhole in Texas.”
“Priorities, man.”

POV Earth
A group of boys sits around a table in a friend's house. The mood is light as they constantly joke around, just a bunch of friends with similar styles of humor and interests.
One of them coughs and straightens, taking on a more serious mood. The others follow him too, putting on their most serious faces.
“My fellow men of developed taste, it is my pleasure to say that we are closer to one of the ultimate goals of the human race,” he says very seriously.
One of the boys has his eyebrow twitching, as he almost starts laughing, but he holds it back, and the boy continues.
“After decades of hardship and a life void of all meaning, we are now one step closer to that ultimate goal.”
He pauses dramatically, stretches for far too long, and in the silence, he speaks in a deep voice with a fanatical light in his eyes.
"Catgirls. Yes, my friends, you heard that right. It might not be just a distant dream, not something only our descendants will experience, but something we might live to see ourselves."
Someone lets out a laugh but quickly falls silent as the others look at him. The first boy takes his tablet from the table and unlocks it to open the URL he has saved. There, a video starts playing.
"A young woman in the video smiles brightly, recording herself in selfie style as she walks through the city. The architecture around her is vastly different from anything on Earth and looks far too realistic to be cheap CGI."
She says, “So, this is my favourite floor so far for sure! Virelia is so beautiful, and look!” She turns the camera, and a tall woman passes by, several heads taller than the girl recording, with black hair, matching cat ears, and a long tail.
The tall woman with cat ears even stops and looks at the girl. “What do you hold, human?” she asks curiously.
The human woman smiles brightly and stretches her arm farther so they both fit into the frame. “It's a smartphone! Smile for my friend; I want to show them what I have recorded!"
The tall woman with cat ears just shrugs and smiles in an easygoing manner.
"F-Fangs, even!" one of the boys blurts out, unable to hold it in.
The video ends, and another begins to play, all of the boys watching as the one holding the tablet grins widely.
***
POV Earth, Rafael Vaughn, aka Channeler
It has already been two days since I returned to Earth, and since then, I have kept the armor given to me by Nathaniel. Part of me wants to worry about the guns the soldiers around us hold, but at the same time, I also know the armor is capable of resisting them. Even so, I expect much more hidden weaponry.
So far, I have no reason to act aggressively and follow the protocols.
When my group of 10 returned, there were already soldiers waiting, connected to a higher-ranking soldier who flew here by helicopter in thirty minutes to our location. We were in a small field on the outskirts of a small city where we were recording scenes for a TV series, most of us being extras or lesser-known actors or cameramen and the like.
Of course, they tried to lowball us with their offer, immediately hoping to put us under control, as I am sure they have protocols for that. It would be strange if, after hearing from people who returned, they were not able to search for places from which tens or hundreds of people disappeared and did not wait there.
To make sure someone higher up talks to us, I shared some information. I gave them one of the USB drives we brought. It contains several videos we collected, including footage of the destruction during the tournament, recordings from the different floors, and messages from people confirming they’re with us. Nathaniel’s message in particular should carry the most weight.
The recordings of his performance include him melting the city and wiping out thousands of attendees, surviving a floating island crashing onto his head, moving with white hair at a speed the cameras could barely follow, and facing all those powerful monsters. I even asked an attendee who used to be a professional editor to put together a proper cut for us.
After that, there is also a video that Izzy recorded. I still remember being there when she did.
In it, Nathaniel just turns to the camera and says, “What? Message from me for people from Earth?”
“Yes! For soldiers or the president!” Izzy's young voice says from behind the camera she holds.
Nathaniel shrugs and looks right at the camera, “Channeler, the dude in that fancy armor with a uselessly handsome face is with me and represents me and, partially, my sister.”
“That's all?” Izzy asks in surprise.
“What else is there to say? If they aren't dumb fucks, they will understand the implications.”
“Oh, that's true, bombing them and stuff,” she calls happily.
“Why would I cause myself trouble by hurting innocent people? I just find whoever gave the order and kill that guy. I don't think anyone can stop me, even if it’s the president or something.”
The way he said it wasn't even meant as a threat, and he likely didn't even realize it. But these words, in the video that Izzy recorded from her height and spoken in his calm voice, bear more than a terrifying implication.
“That is smart!” Izzy says with her youthful voice, her agreement adding to the meaning.
So I remain confident and wait, refusing every offer they throw our way. I ignore emotional blackmail, hints of being country heroes, our responsibility, and all these things.
Then, just a bit later, a new helicopter appears; it is all black and very quiet. It looks almost like something from a sci-fi movie. A man in uniform steps out and heads toward us with confident strides, and after exchanging a few words with the leader of the group of soldiers, he moves closer.
He shows no worry, and his face remains calm.
“It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Jonathan Kane, and I am a US Army Colonel and I have been authorized to negotiate with you. I have carefully watched the videos and read the files you have shared with us, and the soldiers stationed here have shared your requirements with me.”
He speaks smoothly, and unlike almost every soldier here, he doesn't seem to be nervous, either hiding it well or confident that we wouldn't start something too erratic.
"As a show of our goodwill in these negotiations, we’re willing to share information about the locations of the individuals you mentioned. I want to make it completely clear, and I want to strongly emphasize this, that we will not use them in any way to influence, pressure, or manipulate the situation."
“Sir, how…” the soldier next to him calls, but the colonel only lifts his hand, and the soldier falls silent.
“Sergeant, please don't interrupt the negotiations. Am I speaking with Mr. Rafael Vaughn?”
“Yes, it's nice to meet you, Colonel Jonathan Kane,” I say, “so what are your side's requirements?”
"I would prefer for it to be our side, at least for now. As you surely realize, the following years will not be anything that simple. For now, we are honestly not sure and haven’t yet decided how to deal with this situation, and we are creating new protocols as we go. So far, we have resorted to the tactic of throwing money at returnees like you, or offering them something of similar value."
“I can imagine it working well.”
“Most of the time.”
“What happens when it doesn't work?”
“I'm sorry, I cannot share such information with a civilian.”
“I understand. I will take your show of goodwill and would like to contact all the people on my list to inform them about their families and make sure they are safe. After that, we are willing to negotiate.”
The colonel smiles, “Negotiate is quite an amusing word. The current situation is that you will get almost anything you ask for, to be honest.”
"Very well. The first name on the list is Thalia Gwyn. You've seen the files on Nathaniel Gwyn and Victoria Gwyn, and I want to confirm that she is safe. Her son also told me to ask you to send her, and I quote him: 'Send my mom at least 50 million dollars to her account or something, and tell her not to buy stocks or other bullshit. Oh, and make sure she doesn't get taxed on it or anything like that. She should spend it quickly before the economy goes to shit. Maybe she could build a bunker. Min-Jae, how much could some cool bunker cost? Actually, scratch that. Channeler, tell them to make it at least 100 mil and help her get a bunker somewhere on an island with nice weather'."
I stop myself and look at the colonel.
“I… I am already acquainted with Miss Thalia Gwyn,” he says.
“Good, then there is a cat called Grumpy; it is very important-”
I continue to give them our people's names and even share estimated locations. All of this comes from memory. The entire time, the Colonel listens while a man next to him writes everything down. It's all going very smoothly, and they seem quite reasonable now, which is something I more or less expected. The desperation will come later, when the stronger ones start to appear.

POV ???
"We have learned more about the planet we were paired with, my Lord. It appears that the earliest attendees are already beginning to return, and the awakening process is underway. I will share more detailed information with you later. As you ordered, we also tried to determine how such a young planet could have been paired with us, even while it is still in its nonattack phase. So far, we have found no explanation. As far as we know, such a Pairing should not be possible. I have consulted our historians, and the idea of a planet without an Absolute being selected is extremely rare. It almost seems to go against the very design of the system. More interestingly, we have confirmed that one of the Ruler of Envy's vessel has been stationed on the moon orbiting the planet."
"Does that mean it is under his protection?"
"We cannot say for certain yet, but the vessel placed there is Champion grade on its own."
"Interesting. First, the Ruler of Greed interferes with pairings, and now the Ruler of Envy is showing interest in a newly added planet. There are even rumors that the Ruler of Pride is emerging from seclusion and beginning to interfere. This is deeply concerning. Go to the Palace. Tell them to uncover as much as possible, even if it means calling in favors we are owed."
"I will see to it immediately, my Lord."

First and most important person Nat's mom, second a cat. Man that made me laugh.
Audrey WJ
It's not very interesting at all, this is the same guy who talked to her in a previous pov of earth where they tried to bribe her to get her kids who they suspected to be in the tutorial on thier side, she told them to fuck off so yes they are aware of her already lol.
Ronnel
I love these POVs!! 💛
Sedjet
The implication that a member of the military Hugh enough to be sent after seeing those files is "Aware of Thalia Gwyn" is veeeeery interesting.
ShrewdReader POV
I love these earth chapters, but lord do I get ptsd from those volumes in He who fights with monsters. At least the government here has the brain capacity to not piss off literal walking nukes that also now carry literal nukes.
WhiteLeeopard
Nathaniel at the academy is likely going to end badly. Too many people to deal with, and extroverts galore.

Imagine the first beyonder being just some super fat guy with glasses who found a way to hack into the system
ChildConsumer
Personally I think it's got something to do with the Ruler of Pride and how he is (or rather was) in seclusion
Dual.
sucks to be channeler, no way he takes the thing off until nat gets back
Dual.
ruler of gluttony you mean?
Dual.
Yeah envy died in the last chapter
WonderChimp
You are dead on here even if it was a joke. This chapter cemented to me that Nat and Vic will get close, but Biscuit is closer. It has been a running joke from Nat to Biscuit's disciple to the other animal cat that was crazy powerful. Cosmic Dog Boopington is going to be Earth's Absolute and is going to be the reason for pairing an established planet.
Titaniumtank
Wouldn't it be neat if the First Beyonder was some sort of Ruler Candidate? I mean. How else does someone survive Beyond freshly awakened?
Zaim İpek
I also want periodic updates over the next three years as Channeler and Grumpy slowly grow closer and by the time Lily is out of the tutorial Channeler and Grumpy would be best friends.
facetiousk
I believe you would have to get the books to re-read it now. But the chapter was called "What is Pairing". It is now in Book 4, Chapter 3.
Max
Tftc!! Moon spider twitching and looking Like it dies probably because of a "real/serious" Connection to the Ruler of envy and He died?! Maybe weakening?
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
Can you tell me when that was said? I don't remember. An approximation is also fine. I will try to go back and reread.
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
Is the absorption necessary or a choice?
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
Almost certainly not but yeah I thought the earth povs were gonna be at the end of the book. We have around 50 chapters while book 5,6 average is 85. Even if the book is smaller, it's still a while away.

FOOD!
Johnny
The first beyonder is the only reason I can think of for these pairing games, unless Ruby somehow knew that this would be the tutorial Cockroachssandra would break free in. Maybe that was her plan all along
Johnny
Ohh First Beyonder maybe hmmm
Johnny
Or at least mastery of magical theory like with the Logic core Sophie and Nat were playing with
Johnny
I think it’s more along the crafting aptitude side than combat performance on the last floor
Johnny
Wait do we have theories on why Earth was of such interest even before powerful attendees like the Gwyn siblings showed up? Man I really hope it’s not the time travel stuff I saw
RingoSeto
like eladore that barely survived the mana radiation and mind emperor
blaw
The people of the paired planet more or less stated that it was the Ruler of Greed aka Ruby that interfered in the pairing. The System can seamingly not be derailed completely but it can be pushed somewhat out of the normal behaviour parameters. So maybe 'just' someone or a group of someones must be expected to be at least close enough to a stand up to an Absolute, not necessarily an Absolute themselves.

3, you’re forgetting the absolute Absolute: FoodFood

Speak for yourself, every end of week chappie is a cliffhanger for me. But I’m a HDT junkie…
Val the mysterious Jedi
No it's more fun to read he is carrying nukes like a turtle, also making storage ring was hinted at being ultra rare, absolute level of crafting
Sondadir
The successful planet absorb the other and grow stronger and bigger
frankie doerr
So which level absolute does Nat have for beyond
Rocotrap
It could have to do with how they acted, Soph did teach outside her disciple, and she did lots of research with Nat, and we all know the training ark the twins got from Nat
Kelto
I bet it's Greed doing Greed things, forging a weapon to kill Pride. Similar to how Lissliss said that she forged herself during war. She also said the she was born a little after the First generation of her planet returned from their tutorial
zoarian
I'm guessing it's a magic academy, in which case Sophie is a lot more advanced than either Tess or Lily. Sophie is still talented at inscriptions and mana manipulation, if not to the extent Nat is. I think as venkata said, assistant professor is likely the highest rank, with the professor in question being the differentiating factor - and Nat's professor seems like a big shot.
Ivan Jelenić
Love Earth POV chappies! Moar! And we didn't even get hung on a cliff on a Thursday, it's amazing!
Ivan Jelenić
Yeah, I love Earth POV chapters too. Can't wait for them to try pushing Channeler around so he has to use the armor and wreck face, and them knowing that the armor is so weak compared to Nat.
Ivan Jelenić
Judging by that, we're at about 30% of the whole story, at 600 chapters, so 2000 total chalters is a good estimation for the whole series, or about 2x more content than we had until now.
iLStokes
The section with the boys was a little confusing. Is this the narration of the video or the boy talking? - There, a video starts playing. "A young woman in the video smiles brightly, recording herself in selfie style as she walks through the city. The architecture around her is vastly different from anything on Earth and looks far too realistic to be cheap CGI." She says, “So, this is my fav

Finally an academy arc!
Zaim İpek
I want a scene of Channeler taking care of Grumpy like feeding, cleaning the litter box, etc. And Grumpy just being grumpy that he isn't Lily.
Katonwolf
Right! I forgot that. I was originally wondering why he never tried before he was told that. And given Nat's personally, I doubt that would stop him from trying to figure it out anyway
Sondadir
It was revealed by the Guardian ( ? ) of parralax eyes that only the Ruler of Diligence know how to make universal storage items
Joel
He just carries a large shipping container of junk everywhere with him. It's the biggest plot hole so far lol.
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
It could also be that assistant professor is the highest rank you can be given
BeepBoop
"There is even a weak barrier flickering around us" Ah, the true floor quest is revealed! Reverse the effect of that barrier so the professor's words are carried far and wide!
Katonwolf
I'm genuinely surprised that Nat hasn't tried to create some kind of spacial storage or something. I've been thinking about it since the early chapters
Andrew
Thank you!
Blooper
Congrats for 600, here's to 600 more! About the chapter, I found it impressive that Sophie got assigned the same rank as Nat based on previous performance, while Tess and Lily weren't? Or maybe it's more related to compatibility than just a simple ranking?
Mr.Sir
Chapter 600, congrats cerim!

Last chapter… After a slight modification to its terms, the challenge was accepted, and both the Ruler of Envy and the imitation of Lissandra Hawthorne were transferred to the Eleventh Floor of Beyond, where the battle commenced. In accordance with the Ruler of Pride’s instruction, the defensive array was not employed by the Ruler of Envy during the confrontation. 10:21 – The Ruler of Envy died.
Alex O'Connor
Thanks for the chapter!

Lissandra killed him in the previous chapter on the 11th floor in beyond
KipBR
How did envy die again?
Arnon Parenti
You need to repel for a set time or killlllll their champion, then a winner is declared, usually the mimics
Timothy Scott
Damn sucks for that other planet, considering earth has at least two absolute candidates by the 8th floor, even if Nat doesn't want to be declared yet. Something tells me when they leave the tutorial he's going to be pretty fucking unstoppable
TheOne320
Wouldn't it be interesting if the planet Earth is paired with is a place we already know about?
RnR_ RnR
What a banger of a chapter! Worth every pet tax ive paid.
Val the mysterious Jedi
Omg that earth pov with channeler hit the spot, cerim you are one of the best writers, especially making a world feel real
Val the mysterious Jedi
Probably it's to get earth nice a bloody, so or die scenario, we've seen that how rulers were made
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
I think it's after envy died because envy died a day or two after they got back to the 7th floor and chaneller said he talked to others to time their return. Probably gonna happen a week or two after the tourney. Edit : they talked about moonster twitching and all which happened when envy died.
venkata siddhardha yarlagadda
Right?! I thought it may be because of nat's black mana but probably not. Edit : Based on what they are saying, he's probably gonna get close to absolute level by the end of 10 years. Nat will probably be in champion grade I guess.
Peter Stawiarski
He will have a blue collar and a black tag on. Assistant to a Dean. @cerim please rewrite.
Subliminary
Earth is paired against an old planet with an Absolute and knowledge about Rulers current activities? Uh oh. Someone remind me if destroying the other civilization is required or not to “pass” the Pairing?

First Beyonder must be really special to be throwing off the System's pairing algorithm so hard. It doesn't make sense otherwise.
Woojoe
Thanks for the chapter! Can’t what to see Nat loose his shit with his professor.
Oaktree
Any who use invisibility / phantom skills will get a automatic failing grade and be killed or worse expelled.
Nikolas Maniotis
Its not about a chance. Its heavily implied they do have an absolute and have been throught a lot of pairings. The reason for the pairing is either liss or the rullers being annoying. I mean it coult also be the beyond guy but like we dont know shit about them so no use theorizing
Oaktree
I wonder if the last pov was before or after envy got killed and what the effects are when a ruler dies. Clearly luna the moonster did not take it well. And maybe seeking revenge or preparing to leave. Having a vacant ruler spot seems like news that would make most absolutes go wtf did I miss.
Mars
Boys what are the chances the paired planet has an absolute and if so why? Cuz of the guys in beyond? Probably right cuz the pairing started happening the second the tutorial started so it can’t be cuz of cockroach
Oaktree
Oh that poor planet no idea what there about to get themselves into. I wonder if greed wants to push nat or if liss is counted as earth’s absolute and thats why. Or it’s biscuit… its definitely biscuit puppers going to just solo the paring.
zoarian
Assistant Professor Nat, after swooshing into the classroom : "There will be no foolish strength-usage or silly dexterity moves in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is mana-shaping. However, for those select few... Who possess, the predisposition... I can teach you how to create evil swords and arcane armour. I can tell you how to disrupt abilities, enhance yourself, and even take over other skills."
Alexikon
600 chapters. let's funking goooooooo. and the tutorial is only 60 % of the planned story. let's go to 2000 chapters.
mitchell kaiser
Oh man, is it greedy of me to want another chapter of this? I love these types of chapters, and I can’t wait to see Channler round everyone up and the aftermath of everything.
le moi
Congrats with the 600th chapter. And thanks for the chappie as always
Joe Woodhouse
If even some random planet knows that the Ruler of Pride was (1) in seclusion, and (2) recently emerged from it... this really underscores what a big deal it was for Pride to give an order to Envy. I am greatly enjoying these recent chapters. It takes incredible writing skill to keep showing us more and more powerful characters without making the struggles of the main characters meaningless. Well done.
