Do we get a chapter this week since PirateAba took a break for the wedding or no?
Hmmm I think so? There was a youtube broadcast at least.
My theory after this chapter is that Laken is the fairy king in some distant future looping back to Innworld so he’s pulled away from it for Laken’s entrance and uses his courts to check on the Earthers. It kind of fits. Me thinks.
I bet eater goat stomachs make for good dimensional bag material
As soon as I saw his name was Arcanis, I was like yea he’s going to be a warlock or something with that name.
"An aggressively salsaing Dragon advanced on the Magma Slime,..." This is the stupid good stuff I love about this story. 😘
Reading this on my birthday is the best thing ever lol. Just turned 32 today. Smoking some good dreamleaf and having some Heineken. Cheers fellow readers! Thank you pirateaba for creating such an amazing world for me to escape to.
Great chapter, P'aba! Thank you. Would also love to see a coat of arms designed for the Order of Solstice.
I’m waiting for the Ylawes x Vampire colab in the New Lands. Then Ylawes comes back to House Byres, talks Yitton down, and squares off with Delaney.
The intolerance surprises me. Nearly every race but humans have almost taken over the world. And now coexist. What makes Vampires different? Maybe because they retreated into myth and didn’t gain acceptance.
Yeah, I keep expecting someone to suggest a compromise like the Selphids have, but not only did they disappear like you say, they are literal monsters and lots of peoples classes will encourage them not to cooperate, it seems to be the way the Design influences people. It would be expensive to have healthy vampire neighbors cause you'd need to limit them to probably less than 19 levels to keep their self control, Bloody Secrets girl has had some issues controlling herself with seven levels, but we did just learn only healthy vampires can drain classes so that's something that buys time for this generation. You'd need level scanning magic (expensive) and the regenerate spell (expensive, high level caster, but no longer exclusive) on hand because intentional silver poisoning would be the only cure for a bandit hunting vampire that "over leveled", resetting them to zero, and to give them level therapy you'd need a prison that can hold gold rank monsters (super expensive). Staff that can capture a mad vampire and run the facility (super expensive and high leveled) to apply silver and cast the regenerate spell afterwards. Maybe a Wall City could do that, and the Wandering Inn actually could for this generation, but a treaty like this needs institutional stability to create high levels of funding and staff class levels every generation into the future. Feels like vampires would have to pay lots of extra taxes or volunteer for more public service than many would be willing to in exchange for a citizenship that would feel like parole with weekly check ins with the local control office.
Going to be honest right now, I really don’t trust the vampires in general. You can see the way they talk about “royal blood” and “bloodlines”. Saving them from slaughter is the right thing to do, but I do think the order will regret it.
Great chapter! I’m surprised by how quickly the hunters shot up in levels. Isn’t it supposed to be really hard for anyone to be above 20 let alone 30s. Yeah I get waning world but: To gain +15? levels in a month feels faster than our protagonist who literally had an exp modifier! If the classes u get are also influenced by your perspectives n such does that mean they can get red classes? If the knight kills someone who their conflicted about would they get the red class? Espixally when it comes to vamp n goblin kids. Seems like not but why? Goblins maybe classified as monsters but the human vamp kids? Glad to have Xrn back!
I think there is some cheese happening here: a vampire is a gold ranked monster in terms of "XP"; but a poisoned, civilian vampire that has a whole class full of skills dedicated to killing it becomes an easy power leveling experience for the hunter. I don't think you could blaze past level 40 that way, but I could see a short term leveling boost for people getting experience as officers on top of everything else. Also, the hunters of Noelectus are with them, and the Gravesong story reveals they're one of the world masters at leveling fast.
Great chapter and a really gross skill that Knight has!
Great chapter. Red being kindness does make me happy
thanks for the chapter! i've been checking all day
This chapter made me want something I just spent 30 minutes looking for and couldn't find. So I ask made you can get some made and sold on you store. A letter opener sword shaped made from silver to fight of these vamps just in case.
Probably my favorite “emperor” chapter
TWI as of 10.21 E 13,590,022 Volume 10 892,591 Note: I believe this word count is accurate but I actually have no way to verify it. I got the word count of volumes 1-9 from somebody on Discord who said they had an offline copy of them. I have been adding to it based on the word counts posted by PirateAba on Patreon with each chapter.
I could write a Python script to count!
Loved it!
That password got me hyped!
Cloudstrike really did become the best security vendor of all time when it came to making machines unhackable. Can't hack a system stuck in a boot loop.
Thanks!
Y2K computer crash happening 24yrs later was not on my bingo card. Anywhos. Thanks for the chapter!! 😍
Welcome back! Excited for this read. Enjoy your night everyone!
Thanks paba!
