WOOOHOOOO GO RUBITHANIAL

caeven

Nats himbo rizz is actually undefeated. Flashbackthaniel showed us peak.

Joran Spans

He has had that for ages. Dont know where exactly he developed it tho. Might have been 3th or 4th floor

Nemesis

I may be forgetting something, but since when can Nathaniel make teleportation marks? Is it some new power?

Rocotrap

Quick question... That easy difficulty chat... Is no longer available?

P K

Not seeing it, Firstly I don't recall Jesus making a promise not to kill Judas family or have the potential threat to possess and use people. Also Judas sold Jesus out to mortals who could kill him, Nat can't kill Adrian currently Finally and the main issue is that Greed sold info on the fragment, the info about Adrian didn't cost anything or involve any gold

P K

It's one person at a time, you don't have to be champion lvl, it's just champion lvl difficulty

Kirin

Thank you for the chappie!

AL

I don't get it. Can Adrian enter the dungeon at the same time as Nat or not? Also, I thought the dungeon was Champion level only. I am confused :(

Michael Williams

It was confirmed this chapter. Adrian killed and seemingly took the fragment from him.

Jonathan Nading

Or something to do with the depth. Abyssal Tides, maybe? Not sure how it’ll translate to a real ability…but the names are cool, at least ha

Mister Cakers

Fragments gotta be something water based. Earths like 80% water + the fragment is under water. Maybe something like Fragment of Changing Tides

Goof Nasty

He is going to give septa to Minjae

Abomb1723

“Other than the fragment, there are less noticeable advantages. The system remembers you stepped here before your tutorial ended, like one of its darlings.”

Nate 3000

Oh! You're right! I bet he did

Nemesis

I bet he got the coins from Lily. Remember when he asked her to get him some money on the second floor, and she was able to? She was probably still carrying it around with her because it was something Nat asked her for 😜

Nemesis

Considering her position, I feel like she is actually selling this information for a pittance. This is the ruler of Greed, i am sure her services are usually worth a lot more for even a minor thing

Audrey WJ

So septa, friend or foe, I feel like she really didn't try that hard to kill him and he said only one person could be in that dungeon so how is it that she was let inside, I don't think biscuit would like it very much if she somehow got attached to nat 😂.

Audrey WJ

So about the earth stay token, I knew he didn't get on when it was previously brought up as a reward for his beyond quest and diligence said he couldn't have it but Nat also did not express any great interest in the token or the lose of it as well, he ended up getting better rewards after all but I knew it had come up as a reward before and he didn't get it. Oh well I still think it's a dumb reward and it is only good because of Adrian being on earth lol.

TYRELL GRAY

Well, we don’t know. It has never been stated clearly what a fragment is. All we know that they are sought after. And there are different types and they all have different abilities. Some can be overpowered, where it destroys a planet like the first star… while some can be like the eternal flame fragment, that is super hot, and have different flames. While some can make healing difficult/ almost impossible. But overall, fragment is a bonus to anybody. If they can control/ tame it.

Darryl Williams

Wait, was a fragment again? Have we gone over this?

Noah Redden

I feel like if anyone could make a vow and break or bend it, it would be the ruler of greed. Greed is her literal thing I wouldn't be surprised if she still wants Adrien and Nat at the same time.

Noah Redden

Sounds more like an envy skill to me

NerdyFellow

20 smackaroos, 8 gold coins, 2 Cyrodillic Dollars baby

Death56

Her willing to make a vow she wouldn't do that for no reason she truly likes nat after taking in her copys memories I wonder if there's a reason they don't Normally do so. She clearly wants to use him but she also clearly cares for him in some way

thisisniall

Some part of me wonders if Nat is going to use the fragment to try and learn [Weapon] from Nyssa (not in the sense of a full system bet Lis style since she probably doesn’t have high enough level to bet it under the system rules) - so he can skill merge it with [Empyrean Lance] for [Empyrean Weapon]

Andrew Miller

Fun skill idea for Greed: What if one of Greed's main starting skills was [Fixation]? A variant from focus where it shows lines/paths to what they are fixating upon. In her case, her ability would show her paths to Pride and how to obtain her goal. Sounds like a skill a Greed candidate would have.

Cody

The vow was only for his friends and family, Nat was not included in it

jax rammus

Yaaaas manipulative her, king.

tishane Imperial MageKiller

So he does have loans fragment then?

Muntu Omnyama

He attacked Nat even after the vow , so will there be a System backlash ?

DrSubterfuge

Bahahaha yesss get fucked Adrian

Marshall

Of all the power us nat has gone after I want him to get earth's fragment the most. Adrian can go pound sand.

Morde24

... Actual peak *chefskiss* , oh my goodness. Turned the tables on every theory I had, but also just switching train tracks. Fantastic read as always!

granndfunk

Honestly my theory is Septa is doing this on her own. She'll have her own reason for fighting Nat but she'll reveal she got 'kidnapped' by Adrian

granndfunk

“You’ll get only a rough estimate, the size of a small country, for those few coins,” Bahaha Greed to the end

Mark Bullock

WoW 👌 👏

Kevin Brock

Adrian is an Envy subclass--if he's bonded to Septa can he use that to enter the dungeon? I suspect Nat's already thought of that, and has some last minute close timing planned...

Mark Bullock

I second this

Andrew

Thank you!

Wallaby Vonwise

Flipping the table and running, love it

Arnon Parenti

Fraudrian gets bamboozled over and over and if he tries to fight it he cripples himself. Sophie is so much better with the mind stuff it boggles the mind how tiny Fraudrian is in comparison. Group four can eat Fraudrian for breakfast and have room for Pride on the menu.

TYRELL GRAY

I know right. It’s crazy, like one thing I like about this story is how each character develop and grows. Like I really don’t know, what nat is planning to do with his skills until I see it, which is amazing.

Nemesis

Kaboom, as minion would say 😉

facetiousk

If I remember correctly, Nat was explicitly told that she had absorbed the memories. It was also made clear that it was what influenced her request to be referred to as Ruby by him, instead of Greed.

J W

Clearly the most important thing here is that nat can manifest portions of his mind outside his body to complete tasks.

Nemesis

Did anyone else notice that Nat making this payment to Ruby suggests he may suspect that she has somehow taken on the memories of second floor Ruby? Or maybe its just that he has started to accept her as his 'Ruby' to some degree

Nemesis

That seems to be the case

arnumart

I was worried Nat would have bowed down, but he pulled off messing Adrian instead.

Nemesis

What do you reckon the fragment will be? Fragment of original mana? 😜

Rico Caceres

Pride mirroring stats of Nat with 1001 constituion at level 2000. I just can see the ending of it

Boyo

Holy moly, you write absurdly compelling characters

Manaless

What I just read, damn! It's great that Nat from the first floor is back. Did I say that or think it? Nat, when necessary, is an even worse manipulator than Tess. What an exciting chapter.

Schmidt

He doesn’t need to change her if he can kill pride

Bob

Fragment of information could be fitting for this earth. Processing. But not very flashy.

Youkai-sama

"I'm not helping you. You're helping Me." 😁

Rene Duvall

RAAAAAAHHH I LOVE THIS STORY

FarFromLogic

I have one wish that he actually gets to keep his reward and doesn't get the fragment yoinked from him again, and a question, I'm not sure what things the fragments can be related too but is fragment of mana a thing, not sure if I would want him to have such a thing or not, he has kinetic, thermal and Mana, maybe something new or maybe an update to his kinetic since he already got the upgrade to thermal with his heart

Florin Cojocaru

Thank you!

frankie doerr

Wonder which greedy ruler would like a fragment like that

Alex O'Connor

I just know it’d be min-jae, the envious whiny brat

Fdrugc

I ship them so much

Fdrugc

I'm hoping one day Nat will change her greed

Joe Woodhouse

Do we think that this time Nat will be allowed to keep the Fragment? Had it been one created by the system I think yes, but the Rulers will want a pure one...

Joe Woodhouse

Hmm. Do we know Adrian's subclass for sure? I had a search and couldn't quickly find it. If he is also Pride then yes, I can see him being tricked into trying to "out-Pride Pride". Related, I can see him trying to [Mirror] [ ] and losing control of it... because he didn't also use [Mirror] on [Mana Manipulation]! That would be narratively satisfying! A battle won and lost solely due to [Mana Manipulation] skill levels!!

Michael Williams

This was an amazing chapter. It was excellently paced. I loved it. I was thinking for a while there that Nat would submit and agree to be fraudrians champion in order to save his friends and family. But loved the misdirect that the Nat we saw at the start of earth had already sealed his memories of the plan. Well played Cerim.

Balsamic ThunderThighs

Really hope Adrian doesnt try to pull a [Possession] on say Min-Jae or Sophie in the future if he's losing against Tutorial End Nathaniel. Would be annoying if we had one of those Villains running off before they get finished off.

Zard

Always keep gold handy when dealing with Greed

Arme nd

Great chapter! And damn i thought Nat was about to switch handlers near the end there, hope Ruby learned her lesson she almost crossed one line too many.

Gutz

Called it: keeping him alive just to make him his champion ? No way in hell Adrian would do that, there had to be a "good" reason, and here we finally have it! Otherwise it would've been too... Lacking ? I love it! Tftc cerim, you did a very very very good job here!

TheOne320

So the dungeon with the fragment is different from the World Dungeon?

Claro reyes

Tftc!!!

Jake Atwood

I think pride also has black mana though

Emmanuel Martinez

I love that Ruby is very sentimental even tho she’s very powerful. This would be a good thing to use on a RubyxNat fanfic

Terri Harris

I knew you wouldn't disappoint! Great chapter!

Woodstock179

Lets go! Sneakythaniel coming in from the top ropes with a steel chair! Lmao 👏👏👏

frankie doerr

I love how he’s basically making mapthaniel pay rent for using up so much brain power by making him do side quests

Krzychu0304

Oh damn, what a plot twist, sorry I doubted you Cerim.

Adrian Rake

The final moment of this chapter reminds me strongly with the Bible and the moment when Judas sold Jesus Christ for 30 pieces of silver. Here Adrian was sold by Ruby, the Ruler of Greed, for 8 pieces of gold. Coincidence? I don’t think so. 🤔

frozzi

Doesn't Ruby stalk him 24/7? How she doesn't know where he got coins :P

Oliver

Helll yeah, loving this.

Aoth the Arcane

Awesome!

Nemesis

Oh man. At first I was kind of annoyed that it was all a facade and there wasn't going to be a fight, or Nat didn't have some trick to defeat Adrian, but as I read on I realised that, while not what I hoped for, this was more or less in line with what I had expected. In fact, I like this better. I also like his relationship with Ruby, in a weird way he trusts her (because he believes he understands her, more or less).

Val the mysterious Jedi

First freaking lases slicing up shark boies was badass, second fuck fruadrian. People making end game theories are nuts. Bet none called the current arc and the real nat vs pride fight will be vanilla as hell but wholesome

zoarian

Nat unleashed Rizzaniel for a critical strike lol, poor Ruby. What can men do against such reckless rizz?

Nerø

LET'S FUCKING GOOOO! TFTC!

zoarian

Is Adrian also possessing Septa? He might try some last minute fuckery. On another topic, Nat seems tailor made for fighting Pride? Absolutely garbage body stats, extreme mana stats, but also black mana. So if Pride Mirrors his body, even if he had a fuckton of mana, it'd all be dominated by Nat's black mana (which I'm assuming can't be mirrored). Not that it'd be a satisfying fight like that - I think Nat will face Pride full on.

NoctisMi

I love that the concept of nat basically making himself forget important information etc. just so he doesn't need to pretend not knowing, can fool himself and situations like this one a so much cooler thing than suddenly getting more powerful oder making the enemy do tropes we all had before. Really good writing there🫶

Erebus

Thanks for the chapter 😊

Erebus

Wait, that’s really interesting

Sushitrash

Damn I owe Ruby an apology thinking she switched up

Scraser

Prediction. Adrian will mirror Nathaniel's stats, his insane mana and low constitution. And hopefully blow the fuck up but probably just have troubles coping

RadiantSpren

Fuck yea

M van Dongen

Player, played.....👌 🤣

Gardor

Stuff really just happens in this story.

Little Watchmaker

I'm so happy. Excellent chapter cerim, I was a little disappointed at how much Adrian seemed to be "winning" it's so fitting that Nat will end up with Earths Fragment and that he managed to make one thing clear to Adrian... he doesn't hold all the chips, and he's not as smart as he thinks ;) 👌

BlackRazaras

Thanks for the chapter

Hemi Rigby-Curtis

I never should have doubted you Nat

Lance Beam

TFTC. Oh yissss!!

mitchell kaiser

I love Schemingthaniel!

Napoleon

Great chapter, thanks man.

ShyviaAngel

Dakota Ulmer
