Notable Inconsistencies

A list of some notable inconsistencies in the published books.

## Atwood Valkyrie Joanna's Last Name

* [Joanna Andersson wishes to enter a Contract of Binding. Time: Indefinite. Accept?] **Book 2, Page 37**
* “I am Joanna Thompson, ranked at the ninety-sixth spot of the Power Ladder,” **Book 4, Page 85**

## Axe Mastery Fractal Location

* He turned his eyes inward toward the axe fractal in his *mind*. **Book 1, Chapter 100**
* Completing the quest **[Axe Mastery]** had formed the axe fractal in his *chest*, but it was missing in his undead form just like the normal skills. **Book 3, Chapter 26**

## Cultivation while under Time Dilation

* The different passage of time somehow messed up the connection with the Dao, and it all became a mess. Similarly, it was apparently impossible to properly use cultivation manuals since they somehow were connected to the Dao as well. You could advance, but it was extremely arduous and left your foundation unstable, so you would only hurt yourself in the long run if you tried to take a shortcut and cultivate inside a place with a different time flow. That was why such spaces were never used to improve. **Book 3, Page 485**
* “Seven years?” Zac asked, his eyes flashing with realization. “You entered a Time Chamber after the Tower of Eternity?” “Of course. The Twilight Ascent is a good opportunity, even for me. If I cultivated in real time, I would have reached the Late stages of Middle E-grade at best. This way I’ll be able to accomplish more.” **Book 8, Page 35**

## Dao Imbuement into Skills

* *Many skills need to reach middle mastery before you can imbue them with Dao, others can be imbued at early mastery. There appears to be no rhyme or reason for this.*
	+ His experimentation had an unexpected result, as his movement skill **[Loamwalker]** gained a level and reached Middle mastery. It was almost instantaneous after he incorporated his Dao of Trees into his steps, clearly showing what the criterion for the upgrade was. **Book 2, Page 498**
	+ He had no choice but to brave it, so he pushed a huge amount of Miasma into [*an early*] **[Immutable Bulwark]** as he imbued it with the Dao of Hardness. **Book 3, Page 210**
	+ While **[Deathwish]** was still in Early mastery, he’d had no connection to the projections that were created, but now things had changed. Since there was a connection, Zac realized he might be able to infuse the ghosts with his Dao to empower the strikes. **Book 4, Page 144**

## Intelligence and Mental Attacks

* He glanced at Zac, who seemed completely unperturbed by the assault. “Jeez, just how high is your *Intelligence*? Such a synchronized attack didn’t even affect you.” **Book 1, Chapter 89**
* The *Wisdom* would help him with his resilience against mental attacks, but he still hadn’t found any use for *Intelligence* for either of his classes. **Book 3, Page 464**

## Jaol's Profession

* “I am Jaol. I’m just a *comms officer* of the *Little Bean*, no one important!” he said. **Book 5, Page 246**
* "Wait, Jaol?" Zac blurted, barely able to believe his eyes. "Is that real? A technocrat *navigator* named Jaol?” **Chapter 972**

## Nexus Nodes and Class Skills

* Zac gained his first two class skills Axe Mastery and Chop and most of his other class skills without using a nexus node.
	+ Suddenly, as Zac slammed down his axe into the head of a barghest, a huge surge of Cosmic Energy entered his mind, causing him to almost black out. **Book 1, Chapter 36**
	+ He was only ten swings away from finishing the quest for the **[Chop]** skill, and he wanted to be in rested condition just in case. He drank a mouthful of water and steadied his breath before once again hefting his axe and swinging the ten final strikes. This time, Cosmic Energy didn’t enter his mind, but information. **Book 1, Chapter 39**
* But he went to the nexus node to get Hatchetman's Rage (and also Empyrean Aegis).
	+ Since the quest was marked as complete, he only needed to get back to his Nexus Node to turn it in. **Book 2, Page 534**

## Sovereign Select vs Monarch Select

* “Have them investigate whether they can destroy the entrance,” Uld said. “We will not be able to hold that place, it seems, but we might at least be able to stop the *Monarch-Select* from entering.” **Book 5, Page 517**
* “The *Sovereign-Select*?” Uld muttered, not really sharing the Inquisitor’s jubilant mood. **Book 7, Page 412**
* *Multiple other instances.*

## Undying Mark Skill

* At low proficiency, you’d be able to create three marks and at *peak proficiency five marks*. **Book 8, Page 29**
* Still, Zac didn’t dare complain as he activated the *five seals* he had formed with his *late-mastery* **[Undying Mark]**, the healing skill that he had gotten ample experience using over the past few years. **Chapter 826**
