Able Drake-
I saw a dintyle after searching for a minute or two, I told bob {Kill that dintyle} Bob walked to it, then jumped and used scratch and used 2 mp and dealt 15 dmg. then the dintyle jumped and used scratch, I told Bob {Jump out of the way, then attack it with scratch} Bob then took the advise and jumped out of the way then killed it
An undertermend time later-
Bob finally leveled up after 6 lvl 4 dintyles and the screen don't lie got an option between dash, jump and soft light. Dash increases speed be 5% for 10 mp, jump increases jump hight be 5% for 5mp and soft light is a sustained skill that heals 1 hp/s for 1 mp/s to all creatures that the user sees as allies in a 10 m radius
I chose soft light because bob was going to be a leader, and Leaders are weak without their followers. After that I told Erebus and bob to protect me and kill anything that gets in a hundred meter radius from me. Then I started skinning the body's which was only 62 body's because when bob kills something it's hide is no longer useable. But I chose to start skining because all the body's where taking up too much space
for half an hour you could see a boy drenched in monster blood, but seriously after skining the body's arcane skining leveled up 3 times. I believe that it happened because I used knowledge from arcane swordsmanship, but the hide's quality was still trash so I threw it away
I then told bob and Erebus {Both of you, try to get bob some henchman. And if you find another leader have bob get the final blow to kill it} I then heard Erebus said [Yes boss!] in henchman fasion
I then took a break to let all the stress go away, and took my time looking at the light construct. All I did was calmly follow a line of mana and followed it to its destination, when I found the destination I created a new light construct but changed the line I was following into a straight line towards the destination and had all mana strings get out of its way. I did it twice then realized that there were only 3 strings, once I realized that I quickly Created a new construct with the third string being straight from the two points that weren't straightened out in the last construct. And after that mana weaver leveled up, and I was injected another node. I'll go into the specifics another time.

After I was done and my mana was filled I looked at Bob and Erebus's progress at making henchmen. They made three henchmen/grunts
I calmly looked for more dintyles. And I found another group with a leader. I started throwing knives at the normal dintyles killing them quickly and leveling up throwing. when there was only the leader left. I held the leader down and had bob scratch it to death, only 9 more to go. Then I found a lone dintyle and whatched what bob did to make henchmen, he beat the dintyle to deaths door. then said what I believe is an ultimatum in dintyle. And then the dintyle stood up and followed Bob
I then kept walking around and letting bob get more grunts. when bob got ten grunts he couldn't get any more of them
I was getting tired and it was time to sleep in my interal clock, so I had bob's grunts scratch a hole in a wall and dig up on a 30 degree upward angle it was a little bigger than the proportions of Erebus, so it could also protect me while I was sleeping at the ent of the tunnel there was a room with a 5m wide, 5m long and 3m high room where I will sleep with my beasts
The next day-
I woke up and saw the beasts eating the corpses of some humans. There was blood everywhere and I didn't want blood on my clothes, it stains. I would know It happened a couple of times. I had the grunts make a tunnel next to the first one so that I didn't get blood on my clothes
After that little escapade I began seriously hunting with throwing and swordmanship, I easily killed lone dintyles but didn't get a lot of experience. but when I did that cool double kill I got a lot of experience. So I started searched for a group, and I found a group with a leader. Let the battle begin.
I ran at the dintyles and one attacked I used gliding arcana and slid past the scratch and stabbed the dintyle with a sword with arcana denser on the tip of the blade, I then crouched with a dintyle jumped over me and I slashed it in half vertically. then I took a arcana filled knife turned around, and killed one of the dintyles that were midair attacking me. The other was pierced with the arcana filled sword in fast secession through the momentum of turning around. Another dintyle ran at me and jumped with their scratch skill, I made a double handed grip and parried the claw. And split the dintyle in half, I then took out a arcana filled knife and killed the dintyle that was running away. Then kicked the leader at the wall, called bob and told him to personally kill him. I then looked at my log

Arcane swordmanship has leveled up x2
throwing has leveled up x2 please choose evolutionary path
Enhanced Throwing
- Increased correction potency
Knife Throwing
- substantially Increased correction potency
- Only for knives
Arcane Throwing
- decrease mental strain of using arcana for throwing
- Teaches arcane throwing
I without hesitation chose Arcane throwing, I've been going down the route of arcana and mana. And I've learned that I can use tricks and the like in other arcana skills to increase damage and exp gain. And the 'teaches __' means I would be able to use it in the next life too
After that I chose to get in the knowledge of Arcane swordmanship. Lvl 3 was arcane smite, pretty much an arcana filled sword strike but more refined. Lvl 4 made the previous attacks more refined, and non arcana attacks to compliment the arcane ways. And apperentally the attacks can be made into sub-skills, I just need to acknowledge them as sub-skills of arcane swordmanship. Do that quickly
I just found a dintyle or two, and used gliding arcana and arcane smite and
You have gained the sub-skill "Gliding arcana"
You have gained the sub-skill "Arcane smite"
After I was done with that I just started looking for more rulers, I then thought 'luckilly the right to rule variant isn't rare but is very difficult to make a contract with, using shock and also not caring about killing bob if he didn't accept. Worked very well, but it wouldn't work without the fear monger title' I then found another group and I started setting up Arcane smite, it took 40 seconds to have smite ready costing 200 mp and dealing INTxSTRx2 so 320 dmg with two variations called 'the impaler' a strike focused on impaling the victim and 'the guillotine' a strike foucused on slicing and dicing. I was going for 'the impaler' because it was better for getting high quality hide.
I ran towards the dintyle and pierced through its heart spewing blood everywhere, I quickly stored the corpse inside the spatial ring. luckily all monster mysteriously disappears, then waited for my mp to regen. And looked for leaders for bobs need, no my need for bob to become a chieftain to get another +1 to all stats
after I got another group, I calmly took out 10 knives and filled them arcana and quickly throwing knives and killing the normies and had Bob kill the leader. Arcane throwing leveled up 2 times
After 5 more groups were killed with arcane swordmanship, all in cool ways with Arcane swordmanship leveling up 3 times and gliding arcana 4 times, but smite had not leveled up
What was gained from Arcane swordmanship was 'Arcane attunement' What it does is use the amount of arcana made by 1 mana every second so 1mp/s to increase damage of all attacks from the 'Arcane swordmaship skill' It isn't a sub-skill
What was gained from gliding arcana's lvl was a change of gliding ability and damage
It was about time to get out of the dungeon so I started to walk to the entrance on the way I killed a good amount of dintyles through Erebus
right before I entrance I started skining the corpses, and Arcane skining leveled up 2 times and finnaly reached my minimum standards I had around 60~70 hides
I then walked out of the dungeon, after I came out of the dungeon I saw my father and Osgar. I then said "What is it?" Then Duke said "You've been inside of the dungeon for 1 and a half days" I then said "Yeah and?"
Duke then sighed and said "Are you hungry" I thought about it and said "Yes" Then we walked away and Duke got a silver coin from a guard saying "A bet is a bet" then I rid Erebus with Bob and his grunts walking next to me, then Duke asked "why did you waste so much soul power on dintyles?" I then enlightend him "Ruler variant" Duke understood "That's good"
When I came to the mansion ate and just went into my room to start the grinding of the mana weaver skill

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
