A MIMIC A BLESSING FROM THE WRITER


SBD1138

a WALL mimic! a delightful twist on an old favorite


Grimpoppet

💯


cgoose500

A wall mimic instead of a chest mimic though


Grimpoppet

I'll take it, still hilarious


cgoose500

The giants had three eyes of different color, so they might have tri-cores too. I'd assume that body snatching lich blob has an Earth core since Markus got an Earth spell out of it. It kind of sucks that he didn't bother getting any of the wind cores from the batbirds though. And I guess this chapter is either confirmation that the System does ***not*** have an inventory he can use, at least not for regular physical items, or it's a setup for Markus realizing he isn't open enough to the idea of the System or something along those lines. If the system seems to automatically respond to his thoughts, you'd think if it had an inventory it'd open it if Markus thought "I wish I had an inventory", but maybe since he's thinking "It sucks that there's not an inventory", *that's* why it isn't opening one. He's not trying to figure out if there is one, he's already come to the conclusion that there isn't.

I'm wondering if he'll have an option to combine the giant cores or something like that into a triple core that he can then slot


cgoose500

You mean if they all have tri-cores they become a better tri-core, or if they have different types of cores they combine into one tri-core? I'm not sure. I don't feel like rereading things I've already read, but I think one of the goblins he got a core from was a higher tier than the others, so I guess inter-tier core fusion is possible of they're the same type. Or, he got 4 cores and the weaker three were the ones that fused. I don't remember.


Zenipex

Nah I think the three eyes thing is a red herring but having 3 cores of the same creature they'll be able to fuse together


cgoose500

It might also be a green herring, and a blue herring. Depends on what colors those eyes are

Your ability to write continues to amaze me.


VitaminRitalin

It's the pace of how they're pumping out quality chapters that's for me impressed for sure. Im worried they're gonna burn themselves out if they're not careful, I'm enjoying this series so much.


cadman02

I fucking called it. Ambush predator for the win. So the identity ability is not fooled by mimics. Sure there was a wall mimic but the obvious chest mimic trope was not used. Markus better look closely on that mimic core because that monster was clearly cursed. Most camouflage predators move when they don’t encounter any prey for a long time. It sounded undead which is not something we have seen before. Also what could be in Markus’s blood that a monster that eats everything would consider poison? Microplastics?


cgoose500

A grade Divine mana?


I_Maybe_Play_Games

Maybe mana poisoning?


I_Maybe_Play_Games

Kinda wierd we got POV from the mimic, makes me think its somehow not dead.


MrMurpleqwerty

giant, flesh-consuming chameleon: i am going to consume you Markus: no u. also *there's* the punishment for overconfidence

Minor shielding... Ya just know it's gonna save his life soon. Maybe, just 'activating' the shield will sever whatever is attached/attacking him at the moment... ;-)


sunnyboi1384

Do tiger ladies like shiny rocks? Will frozen tomb be successful against aggressive plants? Will the imp fuck him? Tune in next time! Duh duh duuuuuh Oh I'll be tuning.


EmotionallySquared

Ten chests? That's a lot


boomchacle

Is it just me or does he seem to be in a bit of an over leveled area? I hope he gets over leveled loot lol


cgoose500

I still want Markus to get an inventory. Maybe one of the chests he finds will be "empty", but it turns out that the chest itself is magic in some way that lets him equip it into his System to get some inventory space.

LowCry2081

While i dig the shared hatred boner they've got going on, your donkey should be fed more than a few slim carrots to carry your load. The dude just got a hefty sack of loot, surely parting with half could see them parting ways with a bit more amicability towards each other, amicability that might lead the imp to desiring a couple more loot runs.


The-One-In-The-Two

Love it as always, but towards the end you called the little shitter imp a goblin (carrying the chest)? Is Markus just an asshole on purpose in his mind narration or did you simply slip up xD


arekban

oopsie no that was a fuckup on my part lol mb! Fixing now


Fontaigne

Unpalettable-> unpalatable ***** If the imp can teleport, why not teleport the chest back now, rather than carry it around and hope they don't have to abandon it when bugging out.


arekban

Thanks for the catch! Also, I do answer that question next chapter, but ur probably right that it should've come up in this one. This'll be a redraft fix for sure, thanks for pointing it out!


Fontaigne

Naw, it's fine as is. As long as the imp knows, he doesn't have to explain now. He's that sort of guy. (For example if he can teleport up, but not back down, or if there's a cooldown.)


thinking_wyvern

Wow, so the mimic became sentient after some time? Are they not sentient usually?
