I van understand Leonel's stream of thoughts. "I don't have any particular fetish on torturing people, and one nuisance less, the sooner, the better."

The moment you exit the time machine, expecting to bingeread your favorite works... You walk into a nuclear wasteland, the aftermatho fo the third ww... It is then that your story...

Join our cthulhu cult to shed your flesh and transend your mortality... Trust me, never again will you feel bothered by the followers of the cliffhanger dao and their pesky tricks.

I feel like you hit the nail there...

*nods* I feel you, fellow dragon

I feel like you've skipped more than a pair of chapters...

It seems to me that these primitive civilizations rely too much on the mysticism of magic. It's all easy when you got 4 elements, light, darkness + combinations. They try to discover how to use the elements, yet no one invented the transistor. Perhaps Menadion was on the path before getting killed, since the book has pointed out multiple times the fact that Menadion's creations contain traces of "software"; yet with all secretiveness, I doubt their information and computer science technologies have advanced past the "and" "or" gates. --- Now, without the power of computers: I challenge you to find a plant that allows you to specifically enchant a "camera", or some other nonsense. Besides, the motion sensor stuff and the like is obviously useless against awakened who can see mana and mess with it. Heck, even non awakened have their ways to hack your arrays. Besides, being so stuck up with exploring mana, like it was pointed out multiple times, the primates of this kingdom didn't even bother to explore the anatomy of the human body, cus light magic fixed it all fast. These people likely have no idea what a photon or an atom is. And not like Lith's an idiot, he's just been too busy improving his mystical part of magic to care and become the first explorer of the more science-oriented branches of magic. You have no idea how much time it takes to program something from scratch, even if awakened ever stumbled on the concept of computers, it was lost in history or left rooting in a lich's notebook in some corner. Unlike magic, science doesn't produce flashy results on the first try.

Well if Aina reciprocates in feelings, I'm all for simp/yandere mode.

Nah, Leonel is realizing and reconstructing important core points that will likely drive a big chunk of his future decisions and his personality itself. "Not being swayed", on the other hand, is stupid. Life is the embodiment of evolution and change: if you cling to something that holds you back, you're just going to stagnate then and there. For me, the shape of righteousness Leonel was using to argue with the emperor is truly a piece of **** that's going to get himself killed. Whatever we humans may invent and believe, our actions will be forever driven by selfishness. Whether it is to protect our ideals, that which we think belongs to us or ourselves. Of course, there may be selfless people, but I bet the ratio of those you've met throughout your life is inferior to 1%

A list of what gravity can achieve: As it has been pointed out, travel by exerting directional gravity. Wormholes could be a thing. Gravity could also be used as a sort of telekinesis, with precise control. Warp drive could also be within reach. With some perhaps extreme, or shrewd ways: control over space isn't impossible, as is control over time. Creating a black hole doesn't seem possible if you limit the gravity to a finite number, yet if he's allowed to concentrate this power into a point, he could achieve some black hole slow charging attacks. Just by creating an initial singularity and feeding it air or rocks, he could destroy a planet, or even a star. Besides, if a low mass black hole has its gravity disturbed, or even without any intervention, all the energy it contains will be released in one burst. For those who don't know the mass energy formula, it means that for every kg of mass it will release the energy of 21.5 million tons of tnt.

Gravity is essentially an effect of "bending" space-time. And what does bending mean? Well, if you make a 4 dimentional graph representing how space changes with time, you will see the lines curve, compressing space towards the center of gravity. In case you're wondeing if this compression would mean stuff inside grows smaller, that isnt the case: other fundamental forces can lock particles in their position. How does that work? Idk, ask an expert in relativity, or something. Well, back to the fact that space compresses, if you got the image, you should notice that the space around the center is "moving" towards it: that is gravity. There is no force that keeps us on the ground, it is space that moves "downwards" dragging with it its contents. If space moves down, yet we "stay in place" we experince an upward acceleration, thus the feeling of weight. How can space move/compress relative to the objects within it? Idk, thats just the most correct representation I could getafter exploring the topic for a long time. There are many things that could make this representation feasible, specially if you realize that moving time and space variables in relativity's equations can lead to versatile results: I have seen some yt arguing that the time dialation caused by gravity leads to the force as we know it. Which actually makes sense, if you do your own reasoning with the aid of some equations, you can find that dialating time can cause gravity, just like the mainstream equations say that gravity dialates time. Why am I explaining all of this? Well, I guess it would be interesting to point out that gravity hability, if it were thought of with real world physics (mercy on this one, if my thoughts are wrong, I am not a physicist), is derived frpm control over space, time or both. Perhaps he won't be able to control those concepts individually, to preserve the "fairness" of the mc's op level, but I have to point out that gravity control is space-time control in the real world: I mean, the creation of portals, or stopping time, might not work in the real world, since such extreme actions should cause extreme repercussions: such as supernova explosions, or just an error in the simulation, that might force us awake from this virtual reality.

To speak without thinking it through?

In my opinion, Orion should have been expecting such craziness coming from his wife. I mean she's always embraced that dark side: why is he even surprised? I'd prefer 2 weeks of grieving over true death. Jirni got us all... but I don't feel like a divorce is a solution. None of her actions went against her family, and being a powerless mortal, she used everything she could to get everyone to safety. I bet that in her place, other women would just powerlessly wach everything later, and then grief, or at most provide emotional support. Her only error is not trusting her family at all: they should solve it with a talk, its not like she's completely senseless akin to Mr manohar.

Why did this get to the top power stone raking? It can't just happen in one day, right? Yet here it is. Was this perhaps a bot adding powerstones?

Ch 60, I just binged the whole thing. I don't know what makes the story special, or perhaps I'm ashamed to admit my tendencies, but awesome work.

It's amusing how she pretends to be an insane monster while resisting the urges to sink her teeth on their flesh. Though, I'd prefer for this to be just a period of instability. The longing for gore doesn't feel right with me. Bathing in it is no good, yet I cheer for her sadistic calculating self.

Deus lo vult

Well, all fixed... Thnx :)
