You're right! I went back through the sequence and found the missing kill. I overlooked the rogue Dryden bisected in Chapter 35. The fire mage survived long enough to use his escape flask, so he shouldn't count. That puts Eventide at 4/50, not 3/50. Thanks for catching that! I'll correct the counter.

Yes, basically, OXI is the stamina used for physical actions, from breathing to exercising. Mana is used by magic casters. They convert the OXI in the air into Mana to create elements.

They are trapped in Thirstfall forever as a Drowned.

OXI stands for Oxygen, while mana represents a different type of energy in this world.

No worries at all! Thank you so much for taking the time to give it a try. I appreciate the feedback! 😊

Thank you! I will fix it!

The Oathring doesn't physically freeze external people from jumping in like an impenetrable brick wall—it heavily punishes interference via System penalties (severe OXI Bleed, stuns, and massive fines). Dryden saying he will intervene means he's literally willing to tank the System's wrath and risk his own life to pull Rhayne out if things go south.

I wish Trustfall were that kind. Besides, they're at a "stage" where the system isn't exactly generous. I think you'll have to wait for them to move on from Lost Ark ;-;

The system calculates based on the energy accumulated within each living being.

You are so right. There will be times when Dryden simply collapses. What will hold him up are his goals and the people around him 🥰
