Chapter: 419
“Strange… I wonder if this is how the soul gets converted to energy?” he guessed, pulling little hairs off.
Jay decided to put the hexagonal sphere in his inventory to study later, in case there was something he was missing.
With another yawn, Jay knew it was time to leave; his body was begging him to go home and get into bed.
He analysed the bones of the teepee but they didn’t seem to be connected in any meaningful way – they were merely support.
“Ok, time to head out I think… Hopefully I’ll teleport back here when I enter the dungeon tomorrow.”
“Hmm, I wonder if Anya will want to come fight some dihexapedes…”
Jay willed to leave the dungeon, and as the exit sprung up next to him he sent his skeletons out on a killing mission for soul stones – as well as to gather any helvetian rings.
He would definitely not let them forget to loot the helvetian rings again.
Unfortunately, he still didn’t have enough mana to summon the fourth one, but he didn’t really care, he was too tired to wait around anyway.
“I’ll have to study Estobar’s journal tomorrow and practise my scrimshaw skill.”
“I definitely have enough bone to practise crafting with.” he thought as he stepped through the exit portal with a proud smile.
***One of you requested a power stone goal, nice idea – here it is: If we reach power stone ranking #3 (on the 91-180 day scale) I’ll release 5 bonus chapters.
I made the goal sorta-kinda hard since I am in an exam period, but if you manage to pull it off, I’ll deliver.
Not really sure what golden tickets are good for though?; I’m not Willy Wonka***

“Huh? Where’d that extra exp come from?” Jay had a confused smile as he stepped out of the dungeon.
“Oh yeah, the helminth… I guess exp doesn’t transfer through two dungeons?” he shrugged, glad the parasitic worm was still at work in the other dungeon; he made a mental note to visit it tomorrow and collect some new blue bones.
“I guess Anya went home.” Jay looked around the exit area, looking for her. It seemed that the other adventurers did too.
“Well, I’ll see her tomorrow.” he shrugged, not forgetting about the rings she still has for him.
While walking home, Jay began thinking about the last fight, analysing it.
“Hmm… things would’ve been bad if I couldn’t keep summoning skeletons… if I run out of mana it seems that I am as good as dead – even if I do have high strength, it wouldn’t really matter…” Jay was beginning to rethink everything once more as he was shaking his head.
“It’s way too convenient to summon a skeleton; way more so than having a few extra damage…” with a slow nod, he realised that he didn’t really even need strength.
“Hmm.. another mistake. At least I only put five points into strength…”
Jay checked his strength, sitting on 20; he was regretful but glad he learnt his lesson this early.
“That’s right… I’m a necromancer. Why should I have to fight? It’s below me.” a proud smile began to form on his face.
