Chapter: 70

“I’ll see you on the other side”

***Update (to the message below): I decided to add free chapters twice a month to make up for the early paywall. Starting at chapter 126, to make things right.***

***Author here. Hi, I hope you like the novel.

When I got a contract for this, I only had 35 chapters. It was recommended to set the paywall here, so unfortunately, I did.

Later I found out this was really early to set the paywall, and it’s my first novel so at the time I had no clue…

After looking at other novels, I found most had the paywall around chapters 30-40. If my contract was with webnovel I could change it, however, my contract is with a webnovel-partner; I upload my chapters to their website, and their program uploads it here. I asked them to move the paywall to chapter 35, but they said it wasn’t possible after the chapters were published.

I have tried talking with my contractors/editors, but they said they couldn’t do anything about it.

So far, this is the only regret I have with my book.

Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed reading this far, and I hope you continue to enjoy the book – Aero182.***


“ANYA!” Jay tried to scream her awake as she slowly floated down from the yellow ring. If Anya died, Jay would surely die too after Sullivan found him; he knew his life was tied to her – for now at least.

Jay caught her and sat her down comfortably. Looking around, he made sure they weren’t in any immediate danger.

“We need to get out of here” he thought – but he reasoned that if he tried to leave, she may not be able to until she wakes up, and a bayring could stumble upon her – this was a risk he wasn’t willing to take.

“Well, she has 4 HP, I think if I give her enough time, she will wake up” Jay had an idea “But I could try something…”

Jay placed his hand over Anya.

“Restore”

Swirling green gas left Jay’s hand – yet as it came into contact with Anya’s body, it disappeared.

“It was worth a try…” Jay frowned. He still had his necrotic ring in it’s first form, it had automatically absorbed the bones from the dead feeble creatures. For protection, Jay decided to bring back the level 2 Don.

“Raise”

This time, the swirling, glowing green gas left Jay’s hand and mixed with a larger number of bones. The usual popping and snapping sounds happened as the level 2 Don was formed.

When it was fully constructed, it was taller than the other feeble creatures, coming up to Jay’s shoulder now. It’s back was no longer hunched over and it stood proudly. It’s skull was still a soap rat skull, perhaps because those were the only skulls Jay had; though the bone-horns were smaller now. It’s hands still had claws at the end, but they were much thicker and shorter.

As it was raised, the level 2 Don was looking around, examining the environment as if it was now more intelligent. Suddenly, it grabbed a bone floating past it from Jay’s ring..

“What the…” Curious, Jay allowed it as he raised an eyebrow “What is it doing…”

Green gas emerged from the level 2 Don’s own hand as it engulfed the bone it grabbed. The bone began morphing and turned semi-liquid as Jay’s jaw dropped.

It wasn’t long before the feeble creature was standing there with 2 curved daggers both made of bone.
