my guess on the next chapter, aria assumed him dead after he had been gone for days and blamed kugelblitz causing them loads of problems and they have retaliated

even though he left the dungeon last time and went to a village at the bottom of the mountain? bit inconsistent that

couldn't he go hunting in the forests outside the dungeon instead of waiting for the next wave of portals? I mean why waste a month when there's access available already?

is it Murphys law? what can go wrong will go wrong? I think it's Murphy but it might be sod 🤔

if I clocked on that it was him*

can't believe you kicked me out of the discord author 😮

seems too good to last, envy will come soon

naw, she's got a crush on nick

I don't see another city getting involved, it would just shout to aegis that they want to be reformed next

I'd send some of them to build a secret base of some kind, build an organisation mostly consisting of the clones allowing him to spread influence, already changed their voices just put them in hoods that cover their faces and make sure they don't identify themselves to a anybody even the organisation members shouldn't know there's more than 1 at a time by keeping them scattered around the world in seclusion to practice their assigned systems unless something comes up in their branches of the organization. etc etc.

hey author, any news on when this will be updated? not rushing you or anything like but I like the concept to this novel and wouldn't mind seeing where it goes

I'm guessing there's gonna be some kind of magic users then? or maybe other entient species?

he should offer people stat boosts and longevity in exchange for service and start a money lender company acting as the hidden owner, then he'll have a literal list of people in desperate situations that he can make deals with. offering clean slates for whatever he wants

he needs to start thinking longer term with his contracts, for example with him being able to extend his lifespan it's probably worth considering he'll probably outlive the people he forms contracts with, leave a death clause in his contracts, something like "in the event of death, all attributes will transfer" or "in the event of sudden death all remaining lifespan will transfer" etc. although that would open the question of "what if you just kill me for these benefits" can include that he can't "target them directly or indirectly with this goal in mind" obviously only if it's pointed out, shouldn't limit paths if not needed.

it'll also keep specters in circulation as people get stronger they'll sell their old specters while getting more powerful ones allowing the weaker manufacturers to grow their strength

well played, there's gonna be dozens of new manufacturers starting that will take weaker specters, which then - Increases number of extractors from the common populace - reduces the backstabbing - Increases life circumstances for the less fortunate due to more opportunities to earn money - increases manpower in the search for specters - increases city value due to more specters being held - increases the strength of the population in the war against specters - increases tax income due to more tax payers, meaning greater tributes for aegis gotta say, fantastic policy to implement

at the time of this review, it would have barely started. so why describe it like it's finished?

he's gonna get on his high horse and go on about treating him with the respect of his office and Nick will be all like "what office?"

and the sun fell to dusk

thanks for letting us know 😁
