Thanks for the chapter but was there a timeskip, wasn't little blue 13

Thanks for the chapter! A nice reunion, happy to see Hannah still cares - I wouldn't blame her if she stopped caring about someone she knew for a few months, 20 years ago. That's a long time after all... The new skill sounds useful, reminds me of Famine's skil (I don't actually recall the details of the skill, just remembered he takes a certain percentage of something from others) This will definitely help keep her fighting during battles :D

YAAAAY HANNAH But oh no, this means we have to say goodbye to Little Blue and Sel! 𝑁𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂𝑂 😭

WolfWrites

Of course there was a timeskip. It says it literally at the top of the chapter .-.

Captain2003Rex

…it’s right at the top of the chapter? Lol “Chapter 60 Aria 𝐹𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑌𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟”

Itsigu

At the very beginning it said "Aria, Five years later."

Bhalu

My bad folks 😅

WolfWrites

No, her skill is very different from Famine's. Famine's skill as described in book one: He is able to directly sap twenty percent of the magical energy within every single being around him, enhancing his own power with it and thereby making forcing him down with numbers an impossible feat. He basically just drains 20% of their max mana at the use of the skill. With a long cooldown. Meanwhile she can drain the life force of others, reducing their lifespan.

Ah right, thanks. Yeah, I guess it mostly reminded me of the skill because both of them involve stealing some sort of energy from others

Captain2003Rex

I just had a thought: I wouldn’t be surprised at all if more than a few people throughout the universe have a skill called something like 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ, and I’d imagine that such skills generally work in a similar manner to the Shout by the same name in Skyrim, in that it basically just makes the target more vulnerable to taking damage and overall easier to kill. And normally that’d probably be the end of it, right? Except now, there actually 𝑖𝑠 someone by the name/title of Death. So what I’m imagining/proposing is that once Aria reaches a certain level of power (maybe when she successfully summons her own personal Apocalyptic Horse for the first time?), a new modifier suddenly gets added to all 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝐷𝑒𝑎𝑡ℎ skills in the universe. One where upon activation, the System will evaluate the target based on some hidden criteria, and if the target passes the criteria (which there’s a really rather low chance of this happening) then the System will officially 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘 the target for eventually gaining the personal attention of Lady Death herself. That way, even if the target does escape the current battle alive, there is now a considerably high probability to a near guarantee that they will have their soul reaped personally by Aria herself, unless of course they die of old age before she gets there lol. And maybe there’d be three different tiers of priority for each 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑒𝑑 based on another hidden set of criteria by the System. So like, Low Priority/Tier 3: Lady Death is alerted upon arriving at the same world as the target of the 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘’s existence, and is given guidance towards the target’s general location. Medium Priority/Tier 2: Lady Death is alerted to the 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘’s existence even while elsewhere in the universe, and is given general guidance to the same world as the target, to then be followed by more precise directions to the target’s actual location. High Priority/Tier 1: Lady Death is aware of the target’s 𝑒𝑥𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 at all times, even when on the opposite side of the universe itself. They cannot run, and they cannot hide, she 𝑤𝑖𝑙𝑙 find them. There is no stopping her, for Death is Inevitable, and they have earned her attention, albeit not in a positive way. And the secret Critical Priority/Tier 0: The target has committed a crime or a multitude of crimes so great and terrible as to have caused the System to place a direct kill order on their head. Lady Death may now at any time of her choosing call upon the very System itself to provide her with a portal to transport her from anywhere in the universe to the target’s immediate vicinity, immediately and directly. As for why Aria would even bother with going around to collect these 𝑀𝑎𝑟𝑘𝑠 in the first place? Why, because they give her discounts on her next level up of course, with the amount depending on the level of priority assigned to the target. Seems like a pretty good incentive to me, lol.

Captain2003Rex

Of course, this is all just a hypothetical thought that I had, and I’m not sure if WolfShine would even want to bother with trying to implement this in the first place lol. Seems like it could be pretty interesting tho, I think 🤷🏼‍♂️

That is still somewhat similar. I mean, the life force she steals turns into soul energy, which empowers her. So functionally it achieves the same effect as Famine's skil (empowering her at her enemies' expense), but through a different mechanic and to a different degree. An important factor would be if there is a cap when it comes to the rate at which she can drain life force (and it seems like there is from what we've seen). A lot would depend on whether said cap is fixed or can be raised in some way. If it could, then eventually her version could be way more powerful than Famine's. Imagine, she gets surrounded by an army of high level people and they just start aging while providing Aria a torrent of soul energy to use against them. The main difference seems to be that for her skill it looks like the higher number of individuals she drains lowers the rate of draining from each of them for the same total. So she wouldn't benefit more if there was more people attacking her compared to if it was just one or few (except the benefit of having more life force to drain in total during the entire battle of course)

SDCard

I wonder if there is a cap on how much soul energy she can store in her body?

Winter

Thanks for the Chapter

Aschente

Who is Hannah again?
