Chapter 1.63
In the aftermath of the undead attack on Liscor, several individuals receive level ups and class advancements, including Erin, Toren, and Selys. Klbkch is revived in a new body and reclaims his position as Prognugator from a disgraced Ksmvr. Meanwhile, Magnolia Reinhart comforts a traumatized Yvlon Byres before departing the city, and Ryoka Griffin returns from the Bloodfields only to wander aimlessly into the plains.
In the aftermath of the devastating undead attack on Liscor, several individuals process the tragedy and receive System updates. Erin Solstice levels up to a Level 18 [Innkeeper], acquiring the skills [Immunity: Alcohol] and [Quick Recovery]. Selys transitions into a [Warrior] and gains levels in her [Hunter] class, while Toren reaches Level 11, which grants him the capacity for independent thought and strategy.
Within the Antinium Hive, Klbkch is revived through the Rite of Anastases. Although he awakens in a superior two-armed body, the process costs him ten levels across all his classes. Disappointed by Ksmvr's failures during the crisis, Klbkch strips him of his rank and leaves him kneeling in disgrace before the Queen, officially reclaiming his role as Prognugator.
Elsewhere in Liscor, Magnolia Reinhart arrives to visit Yvlon Byres. Yvlon is in a catastrophic state—severely traumatized, physically scarred with half her facial skin torn off, and completely destitute after losing her comrades and equipment. Magnolia offers the unresponsive Yvlon words of comfort and mourning. Recognizing that an unknown force is shifting events in the world, Magnolia resolves to investigate and departs in her carriage with Ressa and Reynold, heading north.
Meanwhile, Pisces reflects on his magical pursuits, resolving to create something beautiful to prove his worth. Finally, Ryoka Griffin returns to Liscor from the Bloodfields. After a brief visit to the Adventurer's Guild to check on the situation, the weight of recent events leaves her feeling lost, and she wanders aimlessly out into the open plains.
