(AN: My “notes” for this story are not in chronological order and aren’t as organized as I would like them to be. So, the following is an accurate recap of the story to the most current chapter but, there’s a chance certain information is missing, and it’s almost certainly not written in completely the correct order.)

Sylver “died” during his attempt to kill the traitor who murdered the entirety of the Ibis and found himself stranded inside a small metallic needle.

A young blacksmith by the name of Ciege accidentally pricked his finger against said needle and was offered help by the thing inside of it. Initially Ciege rejected the offer, and attempted to save his beloved Yeva himself, but once he saw that he was no match for the goblins inside, he accepted the creature’s deal.

Sylver disposed of the goblins, and took Ciege’s body as payment, and left the young blacksmith’s soul inside a hammer, that he gave to Yeva to keep safe.

Sylver, in the body of Ciege, gained the racial class [Koschei] and later unlocked the [Necromancer] class.

Sylver traveled to the city of Arda, completed a quest, and eventually ended up drinking with a homesick dwarf named Salgok. In the morning Sylver was escorted to talk to the king of cats, who told him about the cursed island, that the king of cats’ family had been holding at bay for several generations.

Inside the cursed island, Sylver met a young high-elf woman named Lola, that claimed to know him from before he became attached to a needle.

After returning to Arda, Sylver was approached by an underground organization that called itself the Cord, and he promptly set off on another quest. He pretended to be a student, allowed himself to be kidnapped, and ended up in a prison “run” by a man called Nautis.

Sylver talked to the head of the noble faction, showed them that escape was possible, got teleported away by Nautis, bit Nautis’ ear off and cursed him, and spent a couple days running around a bunch of caves. Eventually he climbed back out of the cave system, and was informed by Novva that the prison was now under the control of the prisoners.

With the help of a mage named Melo, and the girl he had been hired to guard, Katia, they managed to make contact with the Cord, and were promptly rescued. Nautis was handed over to the Cord and Sylver saw that the “prison” he had been trapped inside was actually the shell of a giant turtle by the name of Tuli.

Incapable of doing anything to help her, Sylver left her where she was and returned to Arda.

He was informed that Yeva was pregnant, and that the same organization that “forced” Nautis to kidnap people had attempted to kidnap Yeva on several occasions. Sylver assisted the Cord in wiping out the Black Mane, he returned to Ciege’s village, and created a body for both Ciege, and Lola.

Back in Arda, the temple of Ra requested a meeting with Sylver, to ask for his help in dealing with a potential demon problem. Sylver reluctantly agreed to help.

Sylver went back to see Ciege and Yeva, found that they had been replaced by imposters, found where the real Ciege and Yeva were, got captured by Nautis and a friend, died at the hands of a woman named Poppy, Nautis teleported away, Sylver killed the friend, and then turned that man into a talking and intelligent shade that he named Spring.

He returned to Arda and contacted the group responsible for the demon problem and struck a deal with them. A boy named Nameless, Bear, Lion, and Wolf. The demon took Lion’s sense of taste, Wolf’s hearing, and Bear’s sight as payment for a tracking device.

Sylver traded a painful memory, or lack of a memory, in exchange for an item that would help him defeat a figure he called “the woman in white.” She had visited Ciege and his father every year since Ciege could remember and used very powerful magic to erase all traces of her visit from Ciege’s memory.

Sylver went to a dungeon to find the item the demon had told him about, and he instead found a young boy, and an old man. The old man had frozen their bodies in time as a way to keep their curse from making them kill each other. Sylver made a relay for their souls, and later on created bodies for them to use, while their real bodies remained at the very bottom of the dungeon.

The old man Bruno, gave him 3 runes, as well as the item Sylver had been looking for.

Sylver used the runes to give himself an indestructible ribcage that kept his needle safe, a tattoo that allowed him to summon an axe into his hand, and the third rune provided him with an infinite amount of explosives.

Sylver put down a rebellion, and made a vampire by the name of Red Eye turn feral to cause a distraction. After that he killed the rest of the rebel force.

Sylver acquired a house from two phantoms named Misha and Masha. And later on removed the curses from a bunch of fast moving rabbit people, lead by the head butler named Ging. Yeva gave birth to a healthy baby that they named Benjamin.

Sylver was hired by the temple of Ra to heal Nautis. He faked Nautis’ death, cursed him, and sold him off to the nobility that Nautis had kidnapped.

Sylver met with “the woman in white” and was told that she was looking for him. She gave him a ring Sylver used to own, and told him she would tell him where Edmund was, if Sylver did something for her.

Sylver was sent to another realm to destroy a book titled “The Story Of The Seven Suns.” The realm was frozen solid in ice, and Sylver was transported into the only livable area, The Garden, protected by a giant dome.

He met some people, went to a dungeon, met the living metal golem Ria, took her with him, joined the tournament, won, was contacted by the dark elves that the elves of The Garden were at war with, and met a girl named Chrys, who was willing to help Sylver, in exchange for being broken out of The Garden, and on his way out of the Garden, found “The Story Of The Seven Suns.”

He found his old hand, being used by a metallic skeleton that called itself “Sylver,” and used that hand to kickstart his body’s transformation into a proper lich.

He then met Rose, Poppy, and Lily, 3 sisters who are not from this world, and needed to summon a [Hero] to make the realm’s balance how it was when they were originally summoned here.

Sylver managed to threaten Rose in a deal, and as a result Chrys was given one of Rose’s eyes to help her find the rest of Sylver’s people.

Sylver and his army of dark elves returned to the realm Sylver had come from, Eira, and after a short rest during which he recruited a seven-legged horse-like creature named Morana, Sylver made his way to the Schlagen Mountains, the country home to cultivators.

Sylver took over a group of “thieves,” left Faust in charge of them, and found out that the Emperor of the Schlagen mountains looked identical to Nameless and had one of the names the book “Story Of The Seven Suns” told him about.

He then met the dragon named Gorynych, was told about The Council, broke into the prison, found his dwarf contact dead, and barely managed to escape from the ceiling falling onto him.

Once he broke out he found Nameless/Aurick, and kidnapped him. Aurick told Sylver about the “Sun Demon” and Sylver discovered that the boy possessed a book that looked identical to the one he had destroyed in the ice realm. Sylver decided to leave Aurick alone, and worked with him to kill the current emperor of the Schlagen Mountains.

One of the 3 headed dragons heads popped out of the mountain, and made it rain positive mana dampening blood. Sylver used this as an opportunity to finish things quickly, and joined the witches and Aurick’s group in attacking the emperor.

The emperor was gone by the time they got there, and they were greeted by the [Jester Hero]. While he and Aurick spoke to each other, Sylver broke the throne, and released the dragon trapped inside the mountain.

The dragon gave Sylver the coffin containing Edmund.

Sylver returned to Arda with Faust’s group of cultivators, and tried to have Lola heat up Edmund’s body enough to wake him. When that didn’t work he travelled to the nearest storm, and used lightning to wake Edmund up.

Edmund woke up and destroyed Sylver’s body, badly damaged Mora (the seven legged horse), and turned the surrounding area into glass. He healed Sylver and the two of them returned to Arda to celebrate.

After Sylver healed up they decided to take a trip to see Tuli.

When they get there, they found Nautis, a demon summoning tree thing, got teleported out, found Faust and Annastasia (invincible girl) hiding in a bunker outside Tuli.

Sylver then met Sophia (temple of Ra priestess) and she told him about the “moon demon.” Edmund took Anna to Novva so she was safe and out of the way, and in the morning Sophia teleported everyone inside Tuli.

Sylver was separated from the main group and found vampires inside Tuli, seemingly guarding realm anchors.

Nautis tried to teleport Sylver somewhere, but Sylver managed to mess with the spell enough that he was teleported to a random spot inside of Tuli, and could clearly see the demon summoning tree in the distance, and Edmund attacking it.
