Nikto

Nikto is a term used to
describe the five very closely related species of reptilian humanoids from the
planet Kintan.  They differentiate
themselves by the color of their scales, but their morphology widely varies as
well.  Some have larger face frills,
deeper eyes, or tendrils.  It depends on
their ancestral location.  There are
Mountain, Forest, Sea, Desert, and Arctic subspecies.

The Nikto are owned by the Hutts, who control their homeworld and
the contracts on their lives.  Nikto
serve the Hutts as a warrior species, along side the Klaatooinians and Vodrans.  They are not often found beyond Hutt Space
except as guards for Hutts.

**Personality:** Nikto
of the various subspecies vary greatly in terms of personality.  For the most part, they are considered stoic
and quiet if not quite gruff.

**Physical Description:** As reptilians, Nikto all have scales.  These scales vary in color from white, gray,
green, red-orange, and tan.  Each has
slightly different features as well, with most having various frills and horns.

**Homeworld:** Kintan
(S-9) in Hutt Space.

**Type:** Humanoid
(Nikto)

**Abilities:** +2
str, -2 int, -2 cha

**Speed:** 30-ft

**Very Tough:** Nikto gain a +2 species bonus on Fortitude saving throws.

Water, and Highland.  A Nikto gains a +4
species bonus on Survival checks made in that environment.  Their skin color is also determined by
this.  Refer to other sources for skin
color.

Huttese and Nikto
Dao Fragment of the Coffin

**Fragment of the Coffin (Early):** **All attributes +10, Endurance +80, Vitality +50, Intelligence +15, Wisdom +60. Effectiveness of Endurance +5%** (Chapter 391)

**Fragment of the Coffin (Middle): All attributes +20, Endurance +190, Vitality +120, Intelligence +35, Wisdom +65. Effectiveness of Endurance +10%** (Chapter 483)

**Fragment of the Coffin (High): All attributes +30, Endurance +450, Vitality +250, Intelligence +60, Wisdom +130. Effectiveness of Endurance +15%** (Author's Discord message) (Chapter 660)

**Fragment of the Coffin (Peak): All attributes +40, Endurance +1110, Vitality +650, Intelligence +60, Wisdom +150. Effectiveness of Endurance +20%** (Chapter 720)

## Effect

The Dao fragment of the coffin is a defensive dao that can be used to increase one's durability and refine harmful substances into cosmic energy.

*The Dao of the Coffin might have failed in keeping the poison out of his body, but that apparently didn’t mean it was helpless against it. It was actually refining it instead. The mental energy that was spread throughout Zac’s body was attacking the poison like white blood cells and turning it into normal Cosmic Energy that seeped into his body.* **B4 P595**

**Made by fusing Dao seeds of Rot and Hardness**
Equanimity

## **Trial**

**Depths of Despair (Limited, Trial): Descend into the chasm. Reward: Havenfort Chasm Limited Title. (0/5)**

A trial that blocked mental defense skills would test one’s soul, but also one’s willpower and focus. It was like the suppression on Zac's mind forced him to confront some things he had kept at bay for a long time. He was making a spiritual journey, where his willpower was sharpened through processing years of pent-up trauma.

“*It has been a while since someone reached the bottom, which requires you to hold on to your mortal heart. Those who discard all sentiments in the pursuit of power will reach the fifth checkpoint at best. Only the trees which can bend to the wind will survive the harshest storms. Our ancestor, Mandar Havenfort, never bent in his life and he only realized this truth when it was too late.*”

**Chapter 674**

## **Limited Title**

**[Equanimity: Reach the floor of the Havenfort Chasm. Reward: Base Attributes +2%. Wisdom, Endurance +2%.]** Chapter 681

The fourth limited title gained by Zac.
Hannah

Zac's girlfriend from the **Prologue** .

## Appearance

Was described as beautiful woman somewhere in her twenties (**Chapter 171**). She didn’t wear normal clothes, but rather robes similar to those that Alea and Alyn wore (**Chapter 191**).

## History with Zac

It wasn’t like they were some childhood sweethearts or soul mates. They were two lonely people who had found each other on a dating app (**Chapter 191**). They had only been together for a few months when the world was integrated into the multi-verse (**Chapter 44**). Kenzie wasn’t the biggest fan of Hannah for some reason, but Zac was a bit surprised she still held on to those kinds of feelings even after a long time (**Chapter 188**).

A Cultivator taken to the tutorial and returned to an island in which she was placed under the hypnosis of The Lord of Eyes alongside her fellow cultivators. She was found and rescued by Ogras and brought back to Port Atwood where she attempted to make herself useful but only ended up annoying everyone who didn't dare make an issue of it due to her relation to Zac. **Chapter 171**

On Zac's return to Port Atwood he clarified his relationship with her was over and this alongside some scheming from Alea left Hannah feeling bitter and even more susceptible to David's deceitful words. She chose to accept a quest to kill Zac in order to usurp his lordship but was foiled by Ogras timely arrival and Zac's core giving him a second chance as a Draugr (**Chapter 204**). David was discovered to not be the real deal and also an Agent of the Church of Everlasting Dao and seemingly fled having suffered heavy damage but survived. Hannah was imprisoned after Zac forgave her and is undergoing rehabilitation by Janos due to having been under the effects of significant hypnosis multiple times. She has since moved to a farm with the real David because Kenzie believes it would be better for her mental state. Her and David have started dating (**Chapter 531**). She wrote Zac a note but its content remain as yet unknown although Zac believed they had both said their piece after reading it.
Bagaboom

A single-use offensive sigil formed in one's mind created by an insane Goblin scientist of the Ra'Lashar Kingdom, it proved to be exactly what Ogras needed to defend himself from a possession attempt by K'Rav. It took Ogras a full year of constantly infusing Mental Energy into this hidden brand in his Soul Aperture, but it was a lifesaver when K'Rav finally made his move. **Chapter 816**
Greenworth

Soon he found himself in the town proper, and it was completely surreal. It wasn’t just the run-down nature of the town that was jarring, there were multiple small details that were subtly adjusted. For example it looked like the topography was actually different in the city from how he remembered it. Where once was a hill it was now flat, making the houses look a bit odd.

There was no large wall that surrounded the town like the one that was erected around New Washington, and it seemed the population was a lot smaller compared to before since he still only had seen a few people scurrying about. Certainly, it was clear that this was only a part of the original town, but it was still there was barely a soul on the streets.

It wasn’t until he got closer to the centre of the town that he saw a wall being erected. It actually looked like they possessed at least one earth mage in the town, as the wall was a bit similar to his own, albeit far more rudimentary. Zac couldn’t see any gates or entrances and was in no mood to look around. Instead, he simply scaled the four-meter wall like it wasn’t there, and found himself in the inner city.

Greenworth looked a lot better inside the walls, with quite a few people walking the streets. Zac had been worried from the missive he bought, but it at least looked food wasn’t an issue in the town as most people were fed. **Chapter 116**

## Leadership

A council composed of Thom Sullivan and four other councilmen. None of the leaders in the town were even Rankers. They were all killed by Zac.

*“Every debt has a debtor. The day you slaughtered innocent civilians to take control of Greenworth, you accepted the fact that one day someone like me could arrive.”* - Judgement aka Zachary Atwood

### Thom Sullivan

* a swarthy black-haired man with a large beard and a thick hammer.
* led a group of cultivators who seized power for benefits and the government looked the other way.
* over level 30

### Mayor Whitfield

* was the highest government official in the town and, according to both Ryan and the information missive, corrupt through and through. As long as the cultivators provided him with a lavish lifestyle, he let the cultivators run rampant in the town, shielding them from any repercussions.
* had a surprisingly high Vitality
* killed by Joanna when she stabbed him in the throat and groin repeatedly.
Inner World

“*For cultivators, to build your inner world is to shore up your foundation. The more you manage to expand and stabilize it, the greater force you will be able to bring out. After all, each movement of yours will contain the will of a world. From there, you impart it with truth, making it follow your Heavenly Law.*" **Chapter 665**

Even the Inner Worlds of Monarchs faced the same problem, though their Daos nurtured their worlds in a way that Worldrings couldn't match. But they were still incomplete, and staying inside such a world for too long was harmful to one's cultivation. Only the Inner Worlds of Autarchs held the true Dao thanks to connecting a ladder to the Heavens. **Chapter 1,119**
Frogmen

There was an image attached to the intelligence report, and Zac felt like they looked like humanoid toads who had injected themselves with supercharged steroids to grow oversized muscles. Their heads were large enough for them to fit a human head in their mouths, and they sat straight at their torsos without a neck. They had two sets of large murky-green eyes, but no ears or noses. They also had four arms, with the second set being slightly smaller and extending from slightly above their thick hips. Judging by their stocky builds, Zac would have thought them leaning toward Strength-based classes like himself, but he learned that they also had quite a few water-based mages. Bk 4 Ch 62

The town on the shore was just a decoy or an outpost, while their real base was far out to sea. Some of the structures were completely submerged in water, but other sections of the town were enveloped by enormous water bubbles, making them habitable by humans as well. Zac felt a place like this would make a decent hidden base, as long as they could figure out how to actually make sure that the pockets of water didn’t disappear. Bk 4 Ch 63

This town was eventually settled by the Gemlings.

## Incursion

The incursion was placed by the shore, and they had caused massive tsunamis to drown the people of the close-by settlements. These invaders were quite brutal, but Zac had held off on targeting this place until now because they had already killed everyone close by, and it didn’t look like they were expanding their territory. The Marshalls were guessing that they were busy with something underwater, as their class choices and appearance indicated an amphibian nature.

They mainly lived on land, even if they might be comfortable in the water as well. A sprawling town was spread right on the shoreline, and Zac saw some frogmen walking back and forth along the streets. The town didn’t have any physical wall, but a wide moat had been dug to encompass the town, turning it into an artificial island. There was only one bridge, and it looked like they could lift it like a drawbridge if needed.

It turned out the wall made out of water rather than stone or wood. The whole moat had risen over ten meters, and the water stayed in the air, defying all gravity. Bk 4 Ch 62

### Leader

The frogman held a large golden trident that Zac immediately could tell was a Spirit Tool, and he also wielded two aquamarine crystals in his second set of hands. The two crystals lit up with a lustrous shine as he approached. The frogman when pressured swelled up to three times his original size. Living streams of water surging around him as a liquid armor formed on his body. The transformation made him look like a god of the ocean, and it became especially poignant when the frogman’s trident started to crackle with extremely potent lightning.

Killed by Zac's testing his newly formed Dao Fragment of the Axe. Bk 4 Ch 62
Ez'Mahal Confederation

The Ez’Mahal can barely be considered a High D-Grade force, and a splintered one at that. **[Chapter 436]**

## **The Incursion**

They considered earthlings unclean and were among the cruelest incursions. They have built an empire founded on slavery. **[Chapter 114]**

*Zac had already heard about them during his first visit to New Washington, and since then it had only become worse. The small country they had set up might be the worst place on earth apart from a scant few places like the Miasmic Zone and the Cradle of god. Killing them would not only free people living in horrible conditions but also create a lot of goodwill across the world.*

*"Low to Medium tier. They haven't shown any particularly strong traits. Obsessed with class systems, uses slaves like we use the Barghest.*" **[Chapter 300]**
Inborn Predator

*Epigraph Unknown.*

## Summary

Inborn Predator is a D-Grade skill that Zac evolved from his class skill Forester's Constitution after returning from Perennial Vastness sometime during the early battles he fought in the Intersector War. It boosts his Strength, Endurance, Vitality, danger sense, and connection to all the skills of his Evolutionary Path.

## Upgrade

* Similarly, **[Forester's Constitution]** had seen such a transformation that the System named it **[Inborn Predator]**. **Chapter 1,125**
* The transition had drastically weakened his connection with nature, and the passive improvement to his natural recovery was gone. Losing the former was more than made up for by the experience he'd accumulated over the years, and the Void Vajra Constitution replaced any need for the latter. What the skill provided instead was the instincts of a predator. **Chapter 1,125**

## Early Proficiency

* The passive buff still provided attributes, but instead of 15% to Endurance and Vitality, it improved Strength, Endurance, and Vitality by 10% each. **Chapter 1,125**
* Survival always came first in the wild, so the skill now amplified his danger sense. Its effect was similar to the **[Lucky Beads]** but focused more on direct threats. **Chapter 1,125**
* The skill also strengthened his attunement to his Evolutionary Stance. ... Thanks to **[Inborn Predator]**, the effect was permanent and steady and could be further boosted using the spiritual framework. **Chapter 1,125**
* This harmonization also strengthened Zac's connection with all skills based on his Evolutionary Path. It made his aura harder to spot when surrounded by **[Primal Edict]**, **[Apex Jungle]**, or any future skill he created. It even improved his control of the vines and trees, though the effect wasn't as pronounced as strengthening his soul. **Chapter 1,125**
Heavenrender Vine

A seed of Heavenrender Vine was purchased from Orom Contribution Store on Heda's advice to replace Vivi when she eventually passed on. It was in small wooden band on his finger. Inside, a small seed hovered above a vast field of spiritual soil, the space spanning a couple of square miles. The Contribution Store was pretty generous, throwing in a miniature realm where he could nurture plants. **[Chapter 819]**

*The Heavenrender Vine was a terrifying plant species that was almost unstoppable when it had grown. Its name came from the fact that it was extremely aggressive, and that it seemingly had no limits on how big it could grow. Some vines had conquered whole planets, forming vast single-organism forests on its surface where all living things were prey.*

*The item in the store was classified as a Supreme Quality D-grade item, but it only cost 43,000 Contribution Points. The reason was simple; it didn’t really serve any purpose inside the Orom World. Nurturing and raising a Heavenrender Vine could bankrupt a Hegemon, and doing so wouldn’t award any Contribution Points.*

*In fact, the listing specifically said that Heavenrender Vines were a banned species that you weren’t allowed to grow in the Orom World. You were only allowed to buy the seed for study. For Zac, it could become a great asset down the road, and the Vine would naturally enter the C-grade as long as Zac could afford to nurture it.*

*Heda even said there were B-grade vines out in the Multiverse, but anything beyond early C-grade would require unique fortuitous encounters.* **[Chapter 819]**

*But even if he got the Heavenrender Vine and it turned out to be superfluous in the future, he could still have great use for it. As long as he managed to elevate it to middle C-grade, it would become an existence that few in Zecia would dare mess with. It had the potential to become Earth’s ultimate guardian in case Zac needed to leave home for prolonged durations when searching for his sister*. **[Chapter 819]**
Cosmic Energy Tricks

* **Dry Yourself** - She channeled her Miasma to dry her clothes and hair as she accepted the request through her guide. **Chapter 1,019**
* **Hair Growth** - It was possible to quickly grow it out again with the help of Cosmic Energy, but he felt it was more convenient to let it be, as it both saved time on maintenance and he wouldn’t get anything in his eyes during battle. **Book 2, Page 125**
* **Lockdowns** - For example, if he got hold of the demon and pushed out some Cosmic Energy through his hands, the demon wouldn’t be able to turn into shadows and disappear. **Book 2, Page 150**
* **Run Faster/Hit Harder** - The way he’d used Cosmic Energy at the start was to simply push it into his arms and legs to run faster and punch harder. There was no refinement or finesse to it, and most of the energy was wasted. **Book 2, Page 424**
* **Self-Cleaning** - He had already figured out a way to passively utilize a small amount of Cosmic Energy to keep his feet clean and not let any grime stick. **Book 4, Page 327**
* **Voice Empowerment** - He empowered his voice with Cosmic Energy to make sure that everyone in the plaza, and any hidden leader, could hear his message. **Book 2, Page 77**
Dao Seed of Rot

**Rot (Early): Wisdom +10, Intelligence +5.** (Chapter 282)

**Rot (High): Endurance +5, Wisdom +45, Intelligence +10.** (Chapter 291)

**Rot (Peak): Endurance +5, Vitality +45, Intelligence +25, Wisdom +45.** (Chapter 379)

"*Zac quickly summoned a fractal edge with **[Chop]** and just as he thought the fractal gained a murky green color when it was imbued with the Seed of Rot. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything living in the area that he could test it out on, so he simply attacked the ground.*

*There was no added power to the fractal edge, and the scar that was created by the swing didn’t corrode as though it was attacked by acid. However, a wet sheen of some green liquid was left around the rift, meaning that the attack was more akin to adding poison to the blade. It would be useless against inorganic things, but it might contain surprising power against living enemies.*" - **Chapter 282**
Automatic Map

A reward Zac got for completing:

* **[New Active Quest: Monster hunt (Normal): Slay the beast in the mountains. No assistance allowed. Reward: [F-Grade Automatic Map] (0/1)]** (Chapter 96)

"It’s a spiritual map that shows the area around you almost no matter where you are. It marks any settlements and towns on itself. The better the grade the more detailed it is, and the larger area it covers." **Chapter 96**

"He took out a crystal from his pouch as he walked and imbued it with some energy. A window opened up with a rough map inside. It was black and white and didn’t contain a lot of detail, but it did cover a large area and marked the towns. He saw Winterleaf Village the closest, and he currently was heading toward Fort Roger.

Both of the towns had crystals next to the name, and after some confusion, he realized it meant that they probably possessed Nexus Nodes or Nexus Stations." **Chapter 97**

"Since he was done with the temple he headed outside, pondering on his next move. First, he took out his Automatic Map, but to his disappointment, it only showed the various mountains. He had hoped that it would name the various palaces to guide him toward the more suitable targets, but maybe the map was too low graded." **Chapter 215**
First People

*'Solevur opened her eyes and gazed upon an endless void. She was the first of the first, the originator of all.'* (Opening sentence of the book of the First People, chapter 1016)

"Inheritor, we are the First People," a booming voice echoed through the cosmos. "Born from the Aether, returned to the Aether. For so long, we searched for answers, for others. We found none. We ask nothing in return for this gift. We only ask to be remembered."

## Timeline

There had been a lull sometime at the tail-end of the Cataclysm, one long enough for a Void-attuned species to appear. Then the final process kicked in as the Heavens began reforming, and these 'First People' died out.

The Aether no longer answered their calls, their continents had been reclaimed to be reforged. The testaments to their spirit and ingenuity were gone, their creations swallowed and consumed. All that remained was the platform.

The ancestral platform was supposed to have shielded the best and brightest until the Cataclysm finished, but they had underestimated the process. Instead, the corpse had split their inheritance into 229 parcels and forced it through the vortex. It was like a faux Eternal Heritage, one that only had to survive the formation of a Heaven, not the destruction of one.

## Appearance

They looked like a mix of a herbivore dinosaur and a humanoid, with two large black eyes but no nose or ears. Instead of hair, they had back-facing horn-like formations that almost looked like flower petals. Over twenty of them formed a flower at the back of his head. (Chapter 1015)

## Notable Figures

### Six Ancestors

The strongest of the First People, they were the grand ancestors who had held up the vault of the heavens. (Chapter 1012)

### Dasorm

* Dasorm was a Cosmic Pathfinder of the First People.
* "Not the most powerful of my kin nor the brightest. Neither did I ever cross that final threshold and join the six ancestors."
* "I was, however, the only Cosmic Pioneer to ever forge an Ancestral Instrument."
* Dasorm created the **[**Cosmic Forge**]**, which he gifted to Zachary Atwood
Big Axe Gladiator

The test to become an outer member of the **Big Axe Coliseum** is a Limited Title-Trial which gives both fixed and increased Strength and Dexterity if you pass. **[Chapter 675]**

**[Big Axe Gladiator: Complete the trial of the Big Axe Coliseum. Reward: Strength, Dexterity +50. Strength, Dexterity +6%.]** Chapter 681

The sixth limited title gained by Zac.
Azra

Torrid Demoness forewoman who stole crystals from the Nexus Crystal Mine. Zac slew her and stole her dress for its defensive properties.

* Five demons arrived at the tunnel, with the one in the middle wearing a fancy dress and having an air of haughtiness. The four others accompanying her were clearly bodyguards judging from their attire and how they encircled her. **Book 1, Page 341**
* Having fulfilled its purpose, the golden layer shattered, leaving the lady once more exposed. Black lightning arcs flittered all over her body, but Zac swiftly decapitated her with a grunt. **Book 1, Page 343**
* After a great deal of hesitation, he stripped the bloody dress from the body, leaving the corpse only in its undergarments. He then put the dress on himself with a sour face before putting the body back into the pouch. **Book 1, Page 346**
* “Ah, yes, Azra. Can I ask why you are wearing her dress? ... **Book 1, Page 429**
Galvarion

*Greatness through mediocrity.*

## Summary

A grudge-holding aquatic mortal warrior who managed to reach Monarchy long ago. Zac learned about him from an information crystal in Thea's library.

## Cultivation

* He started with a humble Warrior class at F-grade and slowly upgraded the rarity once every Evolution. **Book 3, Page 560**
* As Zac suspected, the general method of Galvarion, the aquatic mortal, to break through his nodes was to force them open. It took him almost a hundred years to reach the Peak E-grade, most of it spent on a sickbed from his wounds. It had taken him another 150 years to heal his foundations until he even dared to attempt to form his core. **Book 3, Page 560**
* It was a disappointment, but pushing five levels in eight months as a mortal was a tremendous achievement. Doing the same had taken Galvarion well over a decade, ... **Book 8, Page 489**
* He still remembered reading about Galvarion, the aquatic mortal who needed to spend over a century to remove all his impurities. **Book 6, Page 584**
* Galvarion, the mortal Monarch, had tackled the issue by only focusing on the Dao of Water and being as weak as possible for his grade. The smaller and more condensed the foundation, the fewer treasures Galvarion had needed to use. That allowed him to slowly and arduously make his way through Hegemony and eventually form an inner world. **Chapter 1,042**

## Personality

* But Galvarion always remembered the grudges as he slunk away, only returning when he had become stronger. **Book 3, Page 561**
* The moment he broke through to the next stage, he would start a round of revenge against everyone who had slighted him while he was weak. Perhaps it was not only due to being unforgiving but also to clear his mind of any demons that might haunt him as he pushed toward new heights. **Book 4, Page 31**
* Soon after evolving to C-grade, he completely eradicated six D-grade forces that had crossed him over the past thousands of years. **Book 3, Page 561**
Harold

Harold was an insatiable old goat, and he already considered himself an emperor and had started amassing women for his harem. Some of them were willing to get the protection of a powerhouse as food was running scarce and monsters were roaming the outskirts of the town, but most reportedly were unwilling captives. There was a lot of discontent about his conduct but Harold was possibly the most powerful cultivator in Kingsbury, and even Ruth didn’t dare to confront him outright. **Chapter 85**

He was appointed Mayor of Kingsbury by the NWG who he was happy to ally with because they'd ignore his indiscretions in Kingsbury

He was killed by Zac as punishment for the crimes the NWG chose to ignore. **Chapter 185**

## **Description**

An obese old man according to Kenzie **Chapter 184**
Francis

One of the 6 human councilors of the Underworld Council.

He was a new name in the top ten at the moment of **(Chapter 431)**, though Zac had seen him in the top 30 since the very emerging of the Ladders. Francis had usually hovered between rank 15 and 20, but he had upped his game since he arrived to the surface.
Astral Pond

Clan Azh'Rezak apparently possessed a magical pond themselves, which was created with the help of a huge amount of treasures and a powerful array. It was actually a trial ground that could award a Limited Title. The elites of the clan could dive into it, and the further down they managed to go, the better the title the System awarded. **Chapter 424**

Their pond had taken the ancestors 80 years to create after expending countless treasures. **Chapter 410**

Ogras Azh'Rezak managed to swim for 20m
Energy Equivalencies

A list of comparisons on the amounts of cosmic energy and/or kill energy different things granted.

* Zac gained 15 levels going from level 1 to level 16 for killing Herald Ur'Khaz in the roll-off on Integration. **Book 1, Chapter 6**
	+ The Herald Vul was level 75 restricted down per the author on Discord. Presumptively Ur'Khaz was the same.
* Zac killed one Barghest, a brown snake, and wore the amulet for F-Grade mother-daughter gathering array for a few days to go from level 16 to 17. **Book 1, Chapter 3-13**
* Zac killed 20 Barghest and one Gwyllgi to go from level 17 to level 18 over the course of a day while wearing the amulet. **Book 1, Chapter 13-15**
* If he would split up the Cosmic Energy he absorbed daily, it would be a 90-10 split, and that was with the E-grade array. **Book 1, Chapter 17**
* Killing 1,000 Demons and Demonic beasts gained Zac three levels bringing him from level 25 to level 28 based on when he gained the Axe Mastery Skill Quest (**Book 1, Chapter 25**) to when he completed it (**Book 1, Chapter 38**). [*He was wearing an E-Grade amulet during this time.*]
* Furthermore, absorbing just one crystal [*F-Grade*] seemed equivalent to killing roughly ten barghest and absorbing their energy. **Book 1, Chapter 31**
* He even took off his gathering-array amulet ... **Book 1, Chapter 54**
* ... each of the [*Ayn*] ants gave as much Cosmic Energy as a couple of barghest. **Book 1, Chapter 110**
* The first Valkyries gained nearly a level a day through kills (even with Zac taking 95% of the energy for crippling the few really strong beasts) and F-Grade crystals when marching from Greenworth to New Washington reaching around level 20. **Book 2, Chapter 9**
* Zac gained 21 levels by killing an E-Grade Tiger as a Level 1 Draugr. **Book 2, Chapter 96**
* “People are stupid. Just thwonk rats for a week and you get as much energy *[referring to five E-Grade Crystals*], and you gain money, not lose it,” Billy muttered, and Zac had to agree as he threw a glance at the old man. **Book 2, Page 145**
* A huge surge of Cosmic Energy entered him [*for killing Mhal*], effortlessly pushing him to level 59. **Book 2, Page 454**
* A huge fountain of blood shot straight up in the sky as the animal essentially was impaled on its own body part. It [*Level 79 Star Ox*] let out a last desolate bellow before it stopped moving forever, its death infusing Zac with a huge amount of Cosmic Energy, bringing him clear to level 61. **Book 2, Page 629**
* In just a few seconds, enough energy to match a barghest kill entered his sister’s body. **Book 3, Chapter 64** - [*This was in Zac's Cultivation Cave.*]
Henry Marshall

The head of the Marshall Clan and a former adviser to Thea who was the Lord of their territory.

## Personality

"Humanity is on the brink of extinction, and you’re consorting with the enemy?" **Chapter 131**

"Remember, a small glance or an innocent conversation can expose far more than was intended. Everything has causes and consequences. That’s why it’s important to always act in a measured and deliberate manner." **Chapter 138**

"My views are that it is only a matter of time before humanity will be pitted against the ilk of your … *friend*… over there, and the information you provided only proves it ... We humans haven’t even been able to coexist with ourselves, but suddenly we are supposed to coexist with two other sentient species?" **Chapter 144**

"Zac felt a shiver when he looked into Henry Marshall’s eyes. The old man was nowhere strong enough to be a threat to him, but Zac knew that he himself lacked such ruthlessness. Henry was ready to go to any length to protect his family and their interests, and Zac had a feeling that was what he was conveying by telling Zac about their handling of the incursion." **Chapter 293**

### Adapting to the new ways

"The strong make the rules. Such is our reality now, and the rest will have to accept it and adapt." **Chapter 293**

It took a while, but us old bones have started to come around to this new reality of ours. The one with the biggest fist makes the rules, and the rest have to figure out how to maximize their benefits within that playing field. **Chapter 953**

## Appearance

"...an elderly man in at least his sixties. However, he looked to be in good vigour with sharp eyes and a ramrod-straight back. His beard and hair were meticulously cut, and he even radiated a bit of an aura. Everything about him oozed authority, and Zac guessed he was someone in power before the fall. Either a prominent businessman or a politician." **Chapter 130**

The old man didn't look so old anymore. Just like Sap Trang, he had managed to break through to the E-grade despite his age, and he now appeared to be in his fifties. **Chapter 952**

## Cultivation

He had long managed to reach E-grade race and the peak of F-grade cultivation. **Chapter 666**

His aura was quite deep, and Zac could tell he had reached Late E-grade already. With Henry losing the pillar that was Thea and Zac taking control of the whole planet, Henry decided to shift his attention to the martial path. Politics were ultimately a game of the old world – nothing could be accomplished without strength. Between his inherent talent and the resources of his clan, he was making decent progress, even if he couldn't compare to the elites of Port Atwood. **Chapter 952**
Eldritch Archivals

It was actually one of the top five public Dao Repositories in the **Twilight Harbor**, among the undead forces that is. It was no doubt one of **Clan Sharva'Zi's** main businesses in the harbor, considering it was their token **Catheya** had provided **Zac** with. **Chapter 686**

A building that looked like a supersized gothic cathedral with thousands of enormous miasmic fractals floating in the air (**Chapter 690**).

## **Contents**

**VIP section**

* The VIP-Section only holds high-quality and greater E grade skills most of which are single use Inheritance crystals (**Chapter 686**).
* The main purpose of selling these limited skills is to provide favours and make connections with various powerhouses and clans (**Chapter 690**).
* Purchases restricted to once a century (**Chapter 690**).
* 20 or so Inheritance Crystals (**Chapter 690**)
	+ **Endless Repose (Peak E grade)**
	+ **Deathlock (Peak E grade)**
	+ **Abyssal Phase (High E grade)**

**Public section**

* mostly Middle-stage, which meant the equivalent of a skill you’d get from an Uncommon Class, though slightly weakened from the transcription. A few skills were high-grade, but most of them were either out of stock or had some sort of drawbacks that made them less popular (**Chapter 691**).
	+ **Gorehew**
	+ **Undying Mark**

## **Spirit Tool**

**Lord Book**
A large black book, with a soothing androgynous voice, that emitted an extremely powerful aura even eclipsing the Draugr Hegemon (**Chapter 690**). Zac guessed it was a Peak D-grade or even a C-grade Tool Spirit (**Chapter 691**).
Adriel

The Lich King, the head of the **Undead Incursion**.

He sought to capture Alea due to her Poison Constitution following one of the **Three Arts** for an old friend but since learning of the presence of **Catheya's** Master in the sector he has decided to try and gift that body to her in order to curry favour with her Master. He sent his clones to set up an Array around **Port Atwood** supported by the **Church** in order to delay Zac long enough for their terraforming array to make the transformation permanent (**Chapter 444**).

## **Appearance**

"... his hollow eyes turned toward the distance ...

The Lich King scratched the desiccated skin that formed a thin layer over his skeleton ...

... a small smile displayed the blackened teeth in his mouth." **Chapter 357**

"... a man that looked like a corpse that had been left out in a desert for weeks." **Chapter 478** one of Adriel's clones

## **Cultivation**

“Liches are ... more of a position, as well as a branching class tree. Creators of undead, miasma controllers." **Chapter 432**

".. the Lich King was an adept Array Master, perhaps even having that as his main class." **Chapter 502**

### **Skills**

* **Clones -** “Well, I still haven’t really mastered the skill, they contained only a fraction of my strength” **Chapter 357**
* An enormous avatar appeared in the sky, a chained-down corpse that spewed an unending stream of green bile from his mouth. **Chapter 501**
Heliophos Clan

The Heliophos Clan isn’t a combat-oriented family, so they don’t climb the Tower of Eternity. They are a solitary clan focusing on divination and fate augmentation. **(Chapter 470)** It's considered an old family for Zecia Sector, and their iron-clad rules are supposed to be not just for show. **(Chapter 357)**

*...a few C-Grade forces in the sector have gone from rulers of their areas to beggars after having crossed that Clan. One weird calamity after another befell their factions until nothing was left. They are definitely not some benign monks, and no one wants to be the next one to fall.* **(Chapter 475)**

*Many believe that the Heliophos Clan is searching for means to avoid the side-effects of Divination and Karmic Manipulation. They are already suspected to have been gravitating toward unorthodox means for tens of thousands of years.*

*It’s possible that Voridis is performing his mad experiments with the clan’s tacit blessing, and that they even have covertly protected him from capture by manipulating events behind the curtain. I don’t understand how Voridis have survived pursuit for so long otherwise.*

*I bet they can’t wait to find out what scheme that lunatic has concocted in case they can use it for themselves.* **(Chapter 484)**

The Heliophos Clan is part of a recently formed alliance that wants to defend the Zecia sector. **Chapter 805**

## **Known Members**

* Voridis A'Heliophos (The Great Redeemer) / illegitimate, excommunicated
* Aposto Heliophos
	+ One of the Dao reserves of the Heliophos Clan. Ch 1,176
	+ Died fighting one of the Kan’Tanu Chapter Heads. Ch 1,176
Eidolon

## **Description and Traits**

* They are the only spectral race that is born that way, never having shed their physical form through the ritual. **Chapter 432**
	+ The Eidolon didn’t have any set shape like normal Spectral Cultivators since they never had any physical bodies that formed the basis of their sense of self. Instead, they took whatever shape they wanted, shapes they simply liked or felt resonated with their path (**Chapter 771**).
	+ They didn’t have any facial features. Instead, a large fractal covered their otherwise blank faces. The fractal was the insignia of their clan, or rather their Hive. Every single one of the Eidolon had one of these marks somewhere, no matter what shape they took. Even those who were just intangible clouds had a rune hovering in the heart of their form (**Chapter 771**).
* Most believe their control over miasma is second only to the **Founders**. **Chapter 432**

### **Hivemind**

* Each Hive is seemingly a Hivemind. **Chapter 706**
	+ Their Hive was a central part of their identity, and the Eidolon were a lot more close-knit than most other races. It seemed as though the line between individual and collective was somewhat blurred for this race. The closest thing Zac could think of was the AI Hiveminds he'd seen in science fiction movies although the Eidolon definitely possessed individual minds and cultivations (**Chapter 771**).
	+ Eidolon Hives could link their very existences due to their peculiar nature, forming a natural War Arrays that far outshone anything Zac and his armies had access to.

## **Role in the Undead Empire**

* Then there is the Eidolon, the leaders of the **spectres**. **Chapter 432**
* The Eidolon were a lot more cohesive than the **Draugr** or the **Reavers** (**Chapter 706**).

## **Known Clans and Lineages**

* The Four Grand Hives **Chapter 706**
* Hive Ouro **Chapter 706**
* Hive Yso **Chapter 772**

## **Prominent Eidolon**

* **Aia Ouro**
* **Tuo Ouro**
	+ Divine Monarch, who attempted to ascend at the Twilight Harbour, but failed and is now crippled.
Dao Seed of Sharpness

**Seed of Sharpness (Early): +10 Dexterity, +5 Intelligence** (Ch. 93)

**Seed of Sharpness (Middle): Dexterity +25, Intelligence +5** (Ch. 212)

**Seed of** **Sharpness (High): Strength +5, Dexterity +40, Intelligence +10, Wisdom +5** (Ch. 313)

**Seed of** **Sharpness (Peak): Strength +15, Dexterity +90, Intelligence +10, Wisdom +5** (Ch. 367)
Be'Zi Sharva'Zi

She walks the Path of Oblivion and believes it is fate for Zac to walk the same. She could not sense Zac's Draugr lineage but believing that they were now tied by Karma she infused him with some of the miasma she was cultivating and reinforced his Indomitable skill creating a pocket space within him surrounded by miasmic fractals protecting him from the influence of the Splinter of Oblivion. **Chapter 247**

She left her clan, of which she is the *Progenitor*, well over a million years ago as she found herself facing the inevitable madness of advanced age. **Chapter 397**

Be'Zi is the Dao Partner of an *Aetherlord* **(Chapter 473)** named A'Zu (**Chapter 776**) walking the Path of Creation with whom she has formed a System that seemingly keeps her alive and her interest in Zac might potentially be the same as his that is to say entertainment. **(Chapter 458)**

She is suspected to be walking the Boundless Path. **(Chapter 473)** confirmed in **Chapter 712.**

## Personality

She wears a mask of indifference in stark contrast to Catheya and seems somewhat fatalistic. **Chapter 776**

She is revealed by Reyna to have always been lacking warmth and to have been very stubborn especially with regards her cultivation path **Chapter 789**

## Appearance

"Her skin was as white as death and she wore robes that were completely black apart from the occasional silver details. While her features were unblemished and perfect it was impossible to feel a sense of beauty, and Zac rather only got a feeling of desolation and death from her." **Chapter 247**

Her pitch black orbs were somehow even darker than Zac's **Book 3 Chapter 34**

"... a Draugr-Lady calmly sitting within a lake of miasma in silent contemplation." **Chapter 458**

## Cultivation

Be’Zi was definitely far stronger than Brazla ever was, sitting at B-Rank cultivation at the minimum. **Chapter 577**

She is stated to have walked the path of pure **Death** (**Chapter 712**) but she may have shifted to the path of **Oblivion** when she broke through after leaving her Clan (**Chapter 247**). She received special dispensation from the Heart to walk the Boundless Path according to Enis (**Chapter 950**).

Ancestor Be’Zi was an above-average Two-step Autarch when she left. For her to still be alive, Catheya believes she has to have reached the later stages of Autarchy, or perhaps even higher. **Chapter 716**

She was the Dao personified, radiating such terrifying energies of destruction that the splinter in his mind seemed like nothing but a firecracker.

If she willed it, he would be destroyed, removed from the river of time entirely. Even the Miasma around her had transformed, becoming something darker than death. It felt like the river of energy was the end of all existence, and stepping into it would result in true oblivion. **Chapter 776**
Calrin Thayer

Calrin Thayer is the head of the mercantile Thayer Clan and the chairman of the Thayer Consortia, the shop that Zac bought shorty after he closed the Torrid Demon Incursion on his island. Calrin is greatly driven by greed.

## Background

* Calrin, with his quick wits and solid business acumen, was chosen to steer the company back on course and was given the chairman position at the young age of eighty. **Book 1, Page 433**
* “Greetings, honored customers, I am Calrin Thayer, chairman of the Thayer Consortium. ..." **Book 1, Page 457**
* That little troublemaker might have visited amazing places, but Calrin had been stuck in the offices of the Thayer Consortia most of his life. He hadn't even gotten to travel much since his clan had lost most of its businesses by the time he started rising through the ranks. **Chapter 960**

## Personality

* The slight upward tug of his mouth, the ever-present Ancient Empire coin in his hand, ceaselessly whirling between his fingers. **Book 1, Page 433**
* "... A single stalk costs over ten thousand Nexus Coins normally; we paid less than a hundred coins per stalk,” Calrin explained, almost looking aroused when explaining the gains. **Book 2, Page 223**
* “Always a pleasure doing business with you,” Calrin said with a widening smile. **Book 2, Page 587**

## Skills

* **Curse of Mammon** - He was even willing to sacrifice a few D-grade Nexus Coins with **[Curse of Mammon]** if it empowered the talismans enough to blow this bastard to kingdom come. **Chapter 960**
Dao Fragment of the Axe

**Fragment of the Axe (Early) : Made by fusing Dao seeds of Heaviness and Sharpness**

**All attributes +10, Strength +110, Dexterity + 80, Endurance +15. Effectiveness of Strength +5%** (Chapter 379)

**Fragment of the Axe (Middle): All attributes +20, Strength +225, Dexterity +120, Endurance +15, Wisdom +50. Effectiveness of Strength +10%. (**Chapter 466)

**Fragment of the Axe (High): All attributes +30, Strength +500, Dexterity +250, Endurance +30, Wisdom +110. Effectiveness of Strength +15%. (**Chapter 587)

**Fragment of the Axe (Peak): All attributes +40, Strength +1110, Dexterity +700, Endurance +30, Wisdom +130. Effectiveness of Strength +20%. (Chapter 710)**

## Effects

### Infusion

For a moment, it felt like time had stopped, but the illusion only lasted for a fraction of a second. There was an unmistakable feeling that Zac had cut something more than just the water, even though his eyes couldn’t make sense of the intuition. It did feel like he had unquestionably cut apart space in front of him, and that the space in front of him was actually two separate pieces even now.

But at the same time everything looked the same, making Zac wonder if his mind was just making things up in its belief that the Fragment should create a larger spectacle. Zac had learned to trust his guts by now, and he truly believed that something had changed, even if he couldn’t see any conclusive proof.

Thankfully, there was a reaction to his swing soon enough, as the torrent of water stopped slamming into him, allowing Zac to once again see his opponent. Zac’s eyes turned to the hulking form pointing his trident at him, ready to meet its second attack.

However, the frogman stood completely frozen, and a huge surge of energy entered his body the next moment. Zac’s eyes widened in surprise as the body of the frogman fell apart into two pieces, and the enormous cut looked so smooth that one could think that he had used a laser from the Technocrats’ armory. Zac still couldn’t figure out exactly what happened, but one thing was abundantly clear: the froglord was as dead as dead can be. **B4 P415**

### Dao field

The towers of [Profane Seal] immediately trapped the whole army, and a terrifying aura spread out as Zac unleashed his Dao Field to cover the entire cage. His attributes might not have undergone a huge change by forming a Fragment, but his Dao Field had received a shocking transformation.

The frogmen caught within his aura were no longer harassed by a constant stream of small cuts; they were now receiving huge gaping wounds from nowhere. Energy started streaming into his body almost immediately, as there were unlucky frogmen who received fatal cuts from his Dao Field, their throats getting slit open without any warning. **B4 P413**
Asgard

The Scandinavian countries have banded together, creating a new capital called Asgard. They are mainly led by cultivators though as they didn’t have very strong governments. **Chapter 114**

An independent force now allied to the **Marshall Clan** in the northern reaches of Pangea where the Scandinavian Cultivators had banded together and formed Asgard. **Chapter 546**

## **Environment**

Thick layers of ice and snow had turned the world white, but that actually didn’t mean that it was lifeless. Towering trees brave the extreme weather, seemingly unbothered by the permafrost. Massive pack of wolves consisting of thousands of hunters roam proving there is ample prey available.

The temperature was minus 30 degrees or so. It would have to become a lot colder than that for someone like Zac to be affected at all, so it was no wonder that beasts could deal with it just fine. There were probably a lot of humans who succumbed to the harsh environment at the beginning of the integration though. **Chapter 546**
