Sofia is on the cusp of her goal, about to replace her [Orphan] class with the powerful [Necromancer]. But at the exact same time, she's somehow also given the rare [Saint] class, which will doom her to be kidnapped by the church, exploited, used up, and discarded.Fortunately or unfortunately, the System no longer has any admins supervising it, and has to fall back to junior [Scribes] and automated error handling processes to deal with the unexpected situation of having two classes at once. This will definitely not cause any problems for the newly appointed [Saintomancer]…Saintess Summons Skeletons is a "Holy Necromancy LitRPG", published on Royal Road and Scribble Hub by Mornn, updating 5 days a week.

Kill the God
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_10add6ee
comment
Kill the God: Sofia is given a quest by the Deep, to defeat the god of Scripture. Not only will this put an end to his corruption of the church, it's also necessary for her safety; she has to remain partially disconnected from the System to prevent Scripture from attacking her. And the Orator promises some very nice quest rewards.

Our Banshees Are Louder
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_148bc07d
comment
Our Banshees Are Louder: Sofia's mixed-up skills grant her access to a Maiden Banshee as her second "hero", combining aspects of a wailing ghost and a lady-in-waiting. In this case, the ghost of a young woman who was burnt at the stake on Earth (France, specifically) for witchcraft, as a result of knowing too much about herbal medicine. Her [Human form] skill lets her change between an incorporeal ghost and a flesh-and-blood human who looks and feels alive despite technically being undead. She can indeed use a Super-Scream, although it hurts her too if she uses it in human form, but she also has skills like [Accounting] and [Menial chores].

Hero Antagonist: Orvod genuinely believes he's doing good and serving the kingdom by trying to kill Aurelia during the first trial, due to Aurelia and Duke Armand being falsely accused of very serious crimes, and Aurelia's transformation into a demonic Apostle makes it even more impossible to settle things peacefully.

Randomized Damage Attack
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_15430b2f
comment
Randomized Damage Attack: [Saintess' Madness] lets Sofia infuse mana into a skeleton and then throw it, exploding on impact with a random damage element. Her initial reaction is that it's not entirely useless, but being unpredictable is a significant limitation. Once it advances to level 2, she gains the ability to channel a specific element in advance, greatly improving its usefulness so long as she has prep time.

Peninsula of Power Leveling
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_16972b3c
comment
Peninsula of Power Leveling: The church provides a setup where new [Saint]s can pull a lever to dispense a [Composter Slime] into a contained area, then stab it to death with a wooden pole, over and over. Sofia reaches level 20 in a single day this way, although since the slimes are all at random low levels, she wouldn't be able to go much further.

Reincarnate in Another World
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_16f4798f
comment
Reincarnate in Another World: This is basically what has happened to Alith, although she's not 100% incarnated, as she's still considered undead (specifically, a ghost), she just has a [Human form] skill that lets her manifest a physical body. She otherwise plays it straight, having been burnt as a witch in France, then awakening to a new life in Sofia's world.

Magic Kiss
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_17003b46
comment
Magic Kiss: At level 80, Alith learns [Maiden’s kiss], an Intimate Healing skill that restores someone else's health proportional to Alith's attraction and affection towards the target. The kiss just needs direct skin contact at first, although at level 200 she unlocks a more effective version that requires a kiss on the lips. She mostly uses it on Sofia. The embarrassment factor, however, prompts her to alter the skill when she has the opportunity.

Unstable Equilibrium
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_17975d1b
comment
Unstable Equilibrium: The biggest factor in gaining power is how well you perform in the trials, but you only get one chance at each one. Thus, an exceptional performance in the first trial will set you up to advance further and gain greater rewards in the second, and the converse is also true. When entering the third trial, Sofia is warned that she won't get much of a chance to relax for the next year, but that isn't borne out; between Pareth's Hellspawn Abomination form, her ability to free-cast angelic lightning, her flight, she's become so powerful that it's relatively easy for her to brush off the hordes of Sunless drones and focus on optimising her imprint collection, in a way that someone constantly struggling to survive couldn't afford. Kuli, on the other hand, was traumatised by the trial; she passed, but held off from going to the next one for a long time.

Weapon of X-Slaying
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_17d5e071
comment
Weapon of X-Slaying: Sofia acquires a secondhand mithril-coated knife called [Garrett's Bog Slicer], which is designed for slaying goblins. In a subversion, the weapon doesn't have any enchantments to make it easier to slay goblins specifically (although the mithril-coated blade is sharp and durable enough to carve through rock without scratching or dulling the blade, so it's still quite effective), but the handle is enchanted to display the number of goblins slain with the blade. It was up to 11,322 when Sofia got it. The S-ranked [Blessing of the Purifier] offers Pareth a hundredfold damage bonus against demons. Sofia decides on a different blessing, though. As the [Holy Skeleton] skill levels up, Pareth gains a double damage bonus against undead (later doubled again when the skill is specialised).

Terraform: Cerberus Beta was a frozen lifeless world until the admins altered it to become suitable for the third filter trial. Its ecology is still unusual, with mana being scrambled around the planet and ambient mana disappearing at night to form "sunless" blobs while other species are locked in cocoons until the morning, but it has plants and animals and atmosphere.

 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_1994ba0b
comment
Gone Horribly Right: The Recessed gather essence and become more powerful from being feared. However, Death is so widely feared, including by many of the most powerful people in the world, that it is overflowing with essence and has to keep its distance lest it destroy everything by its mere presence. Death's worshippers, by reducing the level of fear, actually aim to reduce its power, "To alleviate the burden."

Lord British Postulate
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_1a1ea492
comment
Lord British Postulate: As part of the second filter trial, after finding a way to reliably sneak past Sammy the level 333 Lesser Stone Drake, a fiercely territorial monster which guards an important section of a Mobile Maze and is intended to be be far too powerful for anyone at level 199 to fight directly, Sofia nevertheless then spends four months training [Angel's Bolt] so she can kill it. Once she unlocks the Titles subsystem, she's given a unique title called "Cheater" for it. Amusingly, most titles can be created as needed by scribes, but all unique titles had to be created by the now-missing admins thousands of years ago, so they anticipated that someone might pull this off eventually.

Immortal Procreation Clause
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_1be36a63
comment
Immortal Procreation Clause: As a general rule, everyone ages more slowly as their level increases, and Valeure warns Sofia early on that it becomes harder to have children at higher levels. However, whereas humans are born at level 1 and vampires are generally born at (or slightly above) level 100, dragons hatch in the low four hundreds, making them powerful and immune to old age but exceptionally bad at reproducing.

The Quest: The goddess of the sun is (in)famous for offering quests that are so difficult you really ought to turn them down, but with rewards so good you have to take them up anyway. Sofia accepts a quest to cleanse a temple in deep space, full of creatures from another plane of existence that infest whatever they touch and are almost unkillable by any magic at her command, and capable of permanently killing her mist skeletons. But Sun was offering five divine essences...

Alternative Calendar: Each month is 35 daysnote In the first draft of the story, chapter 173 indicated one month is 36 days, but chapter 247 indicated one month is 35 days. The author acknowledged the inconsistency and fixed it before putting the first book up for sale., and each year is 10 months. The story begins in the third month of the year 3210. It turns out this calendar era's reference epoch (i.e., the big historic event that happened 3210 years ago) is the creation of the system.

Papa Wolf: The Recessed take a somewhat parental interest in Cinthia, and the Recessed of anger in particular chooses "Daddy Hatred" as his handle. When Cinthia is disrespected by an arrogant student, "Daddy Hatred" hires Sofia to humiliate the offender, by giving her a System quest with a very angry description and a valuable reward. Sofia is rather fond of Cinthia too, and gladly accepts the quest, then proceeds to flatten the offender, making it look effortless, and steal his neck bones.

Fingore: During the Brighthall arc, Sofia's classroom is attacked by students trying to steal her tokens as part of a school competition. Although they technically didn't break any rules since they waited until her class had just finished, Sofia was sick of being underestimated and angry enough that she decided to Make an Example of Them by stabbing their hands, using [Bone Dominus] to pull every finger/hand bone out through the stab wounds, then having her skeleton high-priest heal their wounds without restoring their missing bones. She even displays the skeletal hands like trophies outside of her dormitory room. The next day, Sofia overhears students referring to her as the "hand demon".

Couldn't Find a Pen: A vision from the Orator is too much to linger in a mortal mind, and quickly fades.

Nigh-Invulnerability: All dragon scales are very tough, but Thrayk's in particular is practically indestructible. Erredis predicts that even the System can't break it. Shaping one requires months of work with special techniques designed specifically for such an obdurate material, and even then, it's at the limit of what those techniques can handle. How did she kill Thrayk and obtain it? "We have no scales on the inside, sweetie."

Leaked Experience: Sofia and Pareth can both boost each other. She can improve his abilities (eg increasing the density of his bones) by levelling up her [Holy Skeleton] skill, and his kills grant XP to both him and her, allowing her to level up her class while remaining in safety. To raise new Saints to level 50, the church sends them into a dungeon accompanied by the Magisterium, who will beat high-level zombies to near death, then let the Saint finish them for a share of the XP. Sofia makes use of this as an opportunity to get the Magisterium killed so she can escape, but only after she's reached level 49.

Not the Intended Use
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_20e20e99
comment
Not the Intended Use: The [Graveyard of the Righteous] sprouts skeletal arms that can seize Sofia's enemies and drag them underground. She eventually realises that the arms are not just pulling the target down, they're actually using a form of intangibility — meaning that she can have them drag her through any solid surface, up to the limit of the spell's range (a single cast lets her travel 150 meters per 100 skill levels). She still occasionally uses it in combat, but she primarily keeps it for the ability to travel long distances through the ground.

Make Them Rot: Sofia's skill [Erredian Rot] spreads a disturbing black film covered in pulsating veins that sucks the mana out of whatever the corruption touches, then decomposes it into ash.

Next Tier Power-Up
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_213288c6
comment
Next Tier Power-Up: The filter trials can give very substantial rewards, escalating with each filter, so there is a dramatic difference in strength between eg level 299 vs level 300, and an even greater difference between level 349 vs level 350. As a result, individual power is usually compared, not using exact levels, but by the filter they're in. From her level 200 trial, Sofia gains enough bonus points to more than triple her total stats; she had approximately 109000 combined health/stamina/mana, and is granted an extra 240000 points to allocate.

Chekhov's Gun: The Book of Skeletons normally produces skeleton pages based on the bodies it eats, but Sofia is a little puzzled when it also eats a Primal Midenicite Ingot and gives her a page for summoning a very small horned humanoid creature. Sofia doesn't recognise it, it just looks to her like "some kind of miniature ogre," but it costs 500000 mana to summon, far more than her total pool size, suggesting that it must be something powerful when she eventually levels up enough to try it. Ihuarah sees the page and speculates that the ingot was a portion of the bones of an otherwise extinct fae species — and that it's not actually dead, just preserved its soul inside the ingot, so if Sofia ever summons it then it will have free will and could even try to harm her. The story dual wields when Sofia meets Erredis. She is both the dragon who holds one of the pieces of the Saintess set, whom Valeure told Sofia about, and also the origin of Sofia's [Erredian Rot] skill, which was originally named, in draconic, [Breath of the Outcast] — fitting, as she lives alone on the moon.

Dead Man Writing: ZhÇŽng Lú’ leaves a letter to whomever kills him, thanking them for freeing him and making some requests about the disposition of his property. Including delivering letters to his next of kin — but unfortunately, most of them are long dead too. Sofia is eventually able to make contact with the last one, T.L.D.R. the lich, who thanks her for her work and takes the rest of the letters to deliver to the recipients' graves.

Game-Breaker: In-Universe, the difficulty level in the first filter trial didn't really account for Sofia becoming an Apostle of Sorrow, which allows her to narrowly defeat Orvod and then steamroll through the royal palace to kill her targets. Some time later, when Jennifer hears about it, she laughs so hard she falls off her chair at the thought of messing up the trial so much.

Orichalcum
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_2641c6ea
comment
Orichalcum is a pink metal stronger and heavier (and much more expensive) than steel. It's less impressive than mithril, but not quite as rare, and can be enchanted. Where a mithril dagger would actually be mithril-coated titanium, an orichalcum dagger would be solid. Sofia is able to obtain enough orichalcum to construct a complete defensive "EGG" shell, covers the interior in runes for protective spells, and hides inside it to survive a spell meant to kill armies.

Blood Magic: Sofia's necromantic ritual to raise a skeleton requires her to carve a ritual circle and fill it with blood. Before she gained her class, she used her own blood, but afterward, she can use [Summon Blood] to handle even quite a large ritual circle with no difficulties. Karin Lacour's class is actually Blood Mage, although we haven't seen her fight yet, since she settled into a safe desk job once her level was high enough that she didn't need to worry about old age.

What Did I Do Last Night?: After a night, day, and second night of drowning her sorrows in dwarven ale with Kuli and some friends, Sofia can vaguely recall the singing and the mock fights, but she has no idea of how they all ended up passed out in the Imperial palace, or why Drian fell asleep hanging upside-down, with his belt caught on a chandelier. Incidentally, this is how Sofia discovered her [Pristine essence] passive skill only protects her from magical memory alterations.

Heavier than It Looks

Heavier than It Looks: Sofia looks like a fairly normal human woman, but her body composition has been extensively altered by her Skills. Her ID card in the Exidion Empire records her at 486kg, and that's after one of her items halves her effective weight. She doesn't notice it affecting how she interacts with the world, however — she doesn't break floors or anything like that — so she assumes that System shenanigans are in play.

 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_28a1d0b
comment
Sunk Cost Fallacy: When choosing a Specialization, you can either take the path offered, or take on a level debt to unlock another path — as many times as you want. Even when Sofia starts to get Sanctity specializations that she actually likes, she has such a big debt already that she feels it's necessary to keep going until she gets something really great. And then when she finds something great, she feels like she can afford to continue because it's unlocked and she's can always go back to it… she eventually takes one because she realizes that she could keep going forever otherwise, and she's over a hundred levels in debt. It's a powerful path, at least.

The Dreaded

comment
The Dreaded: Everyone who knows anything about the Lords of the Deep is terrified of drawing their attention — and with good reason, because the usual result of saying their names even inadvertently is death or erasure from the world and from everyone's memory. Everyone, that is, except Sofia, who only knows that attempting to learn more about her surname results in scaring some very powerful people senseless. The Outcast isn't quite as feared as the Deep, but the name isn't a coincidence. Even amongst dragons, her name is feared — which is understandable, considering how many other dragons she has killed. The System doesn't send just one angel to intercept her and ask her business; it sends nine.

Mithrium is an alloy of mithril and orichalcum, but can no longer be created, only found in tiny veins.

Fantastic Nuke
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_2cd6b637
comment
Fantastic Nuke: Sofia's [Angel's bolt] started off as a system skill that used a fixed amount of mana to create a powerful explosive attack. After learning how to cast the spell without the system's guidance, she eventually also figures out how to pump more mana into it, by which point she isn't so much limited by her mana reserves but by how long she can charge the attack before her hand starts disintegrating. As she continues to level up and improve her stats, skills, and equipment, she gets a sturdier body, ways to passively and actively heal herself, and methods of enhancing her offensive magic, pushing it steadily further. By chapter 238, when she tries going all-out in an unpopulated area, she flies more than a kilometer away from her target and still panics when she fires the bolt and her world turns white. The chapter is even titled "Nuclear".

Light/Darkness Juxtaposition

comment
Light/Darkness Juxtaposition: Mixing [Saint] and [Necromancer] keywords produces some bizarrely contrasting skills, like a skeletal minion shining with a halo of holy power, or a pillar of holy light that heals only undead. Sofia's skill [Erredian Rot] takes this even further, turning the light of her holy spells into a vector which spreads a disturbing black film covered in pulsating veins that sucks the mana out of whatever the corruption touches, then decomposes it into ash.

Set Bonus
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_2e62fdc2
comment
Set Bonus: There are seven items of jewelry that only a [Saint] can use, each with their own benefits, but giving extra effects when multiples are combined. Sofia is given the [Saint's pride] headband as soon as she reaches level 20, which slows ageing, and later obtains the [Saint's indolence] bracelet, which reduces her need for sleep; together, they grant a Healing Factor while sitting down. Adding the [Saint's touch] sash, which defends against physical projectiles, causes the set to grant additional mana regeneration (although it doesn't do much more than cover the mana costs of wearing the pieces). Sadly, as Valeure informs Sofia, although the entire set is purported to be quite powerful, it's not possible to assemble it all, because two pieces are missing and another of the pieces belongs to a dragon. The dragon in question turns out to be Erredis, who takes a liking to Sofia after learning that the System has given her a skill that mimics Erredis' own Breath Weapon, and she willingly hands the anklet over in exchange for learning the details of how Sofia came to be in her home.

Deadly Euphemism: Sofia meets a summoned hero who is surprised that she's come back to Skyreach when everyone is searching for her and there's likely a price on her head.

Both the [Necromancer] and [Saint] class are Glass Cannons, so by combining their stat multipliers, Sofia really doesn't lose much toughness; she was always going to be very fragile. What she gains, though, is a truly immense mana pool. And then Alith's candies boost her maximum health by a fixed amount, which largely negates the drawback anyway.

comment
Older Than They Look: People in this setting age slower as they level up. Most human villagers never reach a high enough level for it to make a difference, but it happens with too many recurring characters to list. A notable example is Kuli, master of Drakron's adventurer's guild, who looks like she might be in her early teens but has actually been stuck like that for centuries. Alith is a non-magical example at first. Although she's 22 when she's summoned from Earth, her growth was apparently stunted from malnutrition, so she's only two-thirds Sofia's height and is easily mistaken as a child when they're together despite being the older of the two.

comment
Amplifier Artifact: Midenicite catalysts can increase the speed of magical projectiles launched through them by up to 50%. It's an underwhelming effect, but nice to have when you can. The Avian King-magi Scepter can reduce the casting time of spells and the cost of ongoing spells, but it has to be primed with a billion points of mana to make use of those effects (and for best results, the mana has to come from the owner). Still, it has some other benefits even without being primed, including the ability to hold a midenicite catalyst at one end. Once Sofia finally finishes priming it, it takes on some extra characteristics based on her mana, extending the range of her spells, dealing electrical damage when it strikes a foe, and reducing the backlash from [Angel's Bolt].

Heart Is an Awesome Power: Due to her broken class, instead of summoning heroes, Sofia can summon litres of human blood. She's initially underwhelmed, but it turns out that it has lots of uses. Setting the stage for a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Turning a surface slippery. Splashing people in the face to temporarily blind and disorient them. Selling it in bulk to vampires, who are willing to pay very well. Fuelling necromantic rituals that need large amounts of blood without having to hurt herself or anyone else. Distilling water from it to survive in an emergency situation. She even manages to trap a powerful monster in a sealed room and drown it in blood after it proves too dangerous for her to get into its line of sight. It's actually more useful in her early development than her ability to summon a Holy Skeleton.

You Are Who You Eat: Sofia's third "hero" is a book that can absorb dead bodies and then summon temporary skeletal minions based on what it has consumed. Sofia often does her best to preserve at least one reasonably intact specimen of each monster she fights, so that she can feed it to "Bookie" and increase the variety of available summons. It has to be a naturally produced skeleton, though, not one she reshaped with [Bone Dominus].

There's a class skill that inflicts random status effects, and one to help draw ritual circles, but primarily the class is focused on healing and buffing the heroes. (Which may be why a group of people, upon seeing Sofia without an attendant hero, surrounded her in an alley and tried Mugging the Monster, only to discover that a [Saintomancer] is rather different.)

Horde of Alien Locusts
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_35d4beb4
comment
Horde of Alien Locusts: The Ebb is a pink monster with properties of both an ooze and a mushroom, which devours anything organic to make more of itself, turning what it consumes into a hollow shell full of Ebb (though sometimes retaining the abilities of whatever was eaten). And when exposed to water, it sprouts tentacles and attacks everything around in a berserk frenzy. It's dangerous enough that experts have settled for just containing it rather than seriously trying to eradicate it, especially since it has already left no-one alive to rescue and nothing intact to reclaim.

Teleport Interdiction
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_37fce466
comment
Teleport Interdiction: As soon as she learns that the Magisterium can summon her back to the church, Sofia starts looking for countermeasures. Her initial approach is to just kill the Magisterium, but she eventually purchases a bracelet that hijacks the soul pathway used by the teleport, to immediately transfer her back to where she was. It costs her the amount of mana used in the teleport, but it costs the other party the same, and Sofia has extremely large mana reserves, so it's an effective defence against most hostile teleportation. As a bonus, she can quickly deploy Pareth before she's pulled back, leaving him to give whoever summoned her a bad day.

Death Is Cheap
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_37fcf16
comment
Death Is Cheap: Combining the skill keywords "[Prophecy of ", "[Dispel ", and " death]" results in the System giving Sofia the [False Immortality] skill; she can inscribe runes on herself that will revive her from death with full health and stamina, at the cost of preventing regeneration of health, stamina, and mana while they're active. She makes extensive use of them for all sorts of things, some major, like surviving a pitch black dungeon where True Shades can behead her before she knows what's happening, but others minor, like completing a set of push-ups faster by wearing herself out and then committing suicide to revive with full stamina. Saria has a special [Raid Boss] class giving her a [Respawn] skill that lets her come back from the dead after 24 hours in exchange for a hundred times her level in gold coins. The cost isn't a big deal because of her Dragon Hoard, so it's much more convenient than Sofia's runes that have the downside of crippling mana regeneration while active. On the other hand, Sofia's revival is immediate, and she can stack multiple runes, allowing her to use it tactically in combat.

Sofia is primarily a spellcaster, but her unusual access to skills and resources has allowed her to become far more resilient than would normally be expected, with several types of potent damage reduction, magical armour, and [False Immortality]. She also has the skills and stats to be reasonably dangerous in melee, much less than a dedicated warrior but quite effective against moderately weak foes.

Rare Candy
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_39aeb09e
comment
Rare Candy: One of the more valuable system rewards available from a gachapon box (see Loot Boxes above) is a stat pill. Consuming a stat pill permanently increases one of a person's stats (starting with +500 for minor stat pills), although the pills are soulbound, meaning they can't be used by anyone except the person who drew them from a gachapon box, which requires considerable effort and luck, given how few opportunities there are just to obtain a gachapon box. Alith's unique [Lady-in-waiting] class gives her a weird skill called [Refined palate] that lets her identify all of the individual ingredients of whatever she's eaten, including stat pills. Entering into a collaboration with a wealthy alchemist, they try different ways of combining together the ingredients of the stat pills Alith has obtained until they figure out recipes that will allow them to reproduce the effects of the stat pills. This new form is known as stat candy, and although they stop working for someone after they've eaten ten of the same kind, they aren't soulbound like stat pills are, making it possible to manufacture and sell them on a large scale. It's not clear what kind of effect these mass-produced stat candies could have on society, considering Sofia nearly doubled the health she had at level 199 with just ten of the Minor Health Candy, but as a trial run, the alchemist Alith collaborated with agreed to start out by just auctioning a few of them to the nobles each year. The first year's auction alone yielded a profit of 80,000 gold, and by the time Alith got her cut, she had already passed the second filter trial and gotten her hands on several stat pills that had ten times the potency of the minor pills. Alith later develops an even more potent variant, adding 5000 stats per pill, but with a combined limit of approximately ten pills total, instead of ten per stat. Going beyond that limit could actually reduce your stats, or even poison you. Saria manages twenty six of them before she starts to bleed from her eyes and ears, which astounds Alith.

Kill Steal: After Sofia launches the biggest [Angel Bolt] she's ever charged, almost blowing herself up along with the target, the angel Acromegon steps in and finishes the job, denying her the XP. However, Sofia probably came out ahead, because the more precise attack resulted in an intact core with useful applications in alchemy, which she would likely have wrecked if she had kept attacking.

Damage-Increasing Debuff: Once Alith's hero blessing (Phoenix Lineage) evolves, she can place "Devouring fire" on a target with a successful attack, giving a 10% increase to physical damage received by the target for the next 3 seconds.

Curb-Stomp Battle: It's a hard fight to defeat Orvod the level 299 Mountain Shaper, but after that, Vakariazrehafin goes through the rest of her enemies like a scythe through wheat. A level 200 warrior with a mithril rapier, orichalcum armour, and skills for launching magical projectiles, would certainly be a difficult challenge for many level 199 hopefuls. Pareth beheads him in one swing. Four giant skeletons, including a potent magic user, would be quite difficult for most trial takers to bypass. For Sofia, uncovered skeletons can be destroyed with a touch of [Bone Dominus], after which she can complete the floor objective at her leisure. Sofia doesn't lose a single point of health in her duel against the Marquess ProudWall, where she neutralises his magic, ignores his melee attacks with intangibility, and tears out his neck bones.

Doomed Hometown: Sofia didn't just lose her hometown, the entire Sovuln Kingdom was destroyed when something strange happened in a forgotten underground dungeon that led to widespread disaster, including the land being flooded by monsters. The people who managed to escape became refugees in the neighboring Skyreach Kingdom, with Sofia herself ending up in an orphanage near the border for the rest of her backstory, until she gets Kidnapped by the Call. About a year later, she visits the orphanage and discovers that every man, woman, and child in the entire village have been slaughtered by members of Skyreach's Corrupt Church who have been waiting to ambush Sofia.

comment
Sufficiently Analyzed Magic: The System gives people skills related to their class as they level up, allowing them to cast magic in a very defined way by fulfilling the activation conditions, which is much easier than learning the magic from scratch. However, after using the skills over and over, people can learn how to use the magic without relying on the skill, and through trial and error, can figure out how the magic works well enough that they can alter what it does. Sofia discovers this ability in her first filter trial, where her skills are locked and unavailable, but she is so familiar with [Identify] that she still manages to use it.

Gods Need Prayer Badly
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_4c782fb9
comment
Gods Need Prayer Badly: The power of the gods is based on how much divine essence they have, which is in turn based on the worship they receive. This is a major reason that Scripture hasn't been able to fight Sofia more effectively; he has limited essence and as his Saintess she's holding onto some of it (which he wants back), so his ability to act in the material plane is restricted. Furthermore, if a god's concept begins to be hated and feared instead of loved, the god might be changed into a Recessed instead. The Recessed gain essence from those negative emotions, instead of positive ones, and have slightly different powers, such as creating demonic Apostles rather than choosing Saints.

Loyal Phlebotinum: Soulbound items can only be used by the owner, and if they're lost or stolen, the owner can trace the connection to find them. If the owner dies, the item self destructs. It's possible to enchant an item to be soulbound, but difficult. System items are actively monitored by the System and automatically returned to their owner if lost. When Sofia loses her head and it's healed back, her crown is gone — until it appears again a short time later.

Alpha Strike: Shaily's sprite-calling skills are very advanced, allowing her to swarm a target with motes of destructive light — but that will exhaust her mana in a single attack. Sofia is still impressed by her destructive potential.

Disproportionate Retribution
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_50b05d30
comment
Disproportionate Retribution: In response to someone sending a disdainful glance at Cinthia, one of her patrons, Hatred, calls on Sofia to break all the offender's bones, heal them in order to break them again, bathe in his blood, and make a mask out of his skull, or Hatred will kill the guy himself. Sofia doesn't go that far, but she does publicly thrash him in a humiliating Curb-Stomp Battle and then steal his neck bones.

Magic Harms Technology: The Orbital Solar Temple cannot function properly in the presence of mana, which puts a time limit on Sofia's visit. Anyone stronger than her would have an even harder time; Sun's oracle would cause the whole station to destabilise and fall into the sun within twenty minutes. Sofia uses her [False Immortality] runes to keep her mana from leaking, and finds a schematic for a magic isolation field to keep her spellcasting from wrecking the place, so that she can keep going long enough to finish clearing out her targets.

Cast from Hit Points
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_51567188
comment
Cast from Hit Points: [Angel's Bolt] has several significant drawbacks, and perhaps the hardest to mitigate is that it's so powerful it burns Sofia all through its ten-second charging time, merely by proximity. She eventually learns to cast it without relying on the skill, which lets her scale the power up and down. So she can cast weak bolts that don't hurt her — or even stronger ones that will incinerate her whole arm on the spot. The [Friendly Fire] skill is specifically designed to reduce a percentage of damage caused by one's own magic.

 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_5334fb89
comment
Auto-Revive: There are rare single-use magical items that automatically bring the wearer back to life if they die, destroying the item in the process. During the first trial, Sofia relies on such an item to survive using herself as a Human Sacrifice in order to gain enough power to fight an overwhelming opponent. Later on, Sofia learns a skill called [False Immortality] that lets her apply an un-life rune to her body that will restore her to full health and stamina if she dies, but it takes ten minutes and a substantial portion of her maximum mana to apply the rune, and the rune itself prevents her from regaining health, stamina, or mana while on her body.

But it's not until the massacre of the orphanage where she grew up that she really decides the church needs to go.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: The skeleton summoning ritual Sofia learns involves carving a magic circle and filling it with blood. The first time she does it, Sofia uses her own blood, and fakes a fall at the orphanage in order to explain the cut on her arm. She later uses her [Summon Blood] skill to set the scene and fake being injured, in order to set her captor off guard. And make the ground under his feet slippery. The storyline of Sofia's first filter trial is that her character, Aurelia, has been accused of stealing another girl's magical seal and trying to kill her. When Sofia is faced with the accusation, she can see the supposed victim smirking at her.

comment
Achievements in Ignorance: Sofia didn't even realise how her skill keyword fusions worked when she accepted the first two partial skills offered to her, but the resulting skill, [Blessing of Deep], is actually ridiculously powerful. It puts her under the protection of the Lords of the Deep, who are outside the System and more powerful than gods. They grant her immunity to a variety of exotic attacks, such as [Hypnosis] and [Instant Death], sometimes adding more if she's exposed to a new attack like [Soul Parasites], and she can freely talk about them without suffering the usual consequences, and she can call on them for help in dire need, especially if higher beings like gods are involved, and they sometimes give her special quests with remarkable rewards.

Magic Knight: Sofia is primarily a spellcaster, but her unusual access to skills and resources has allowed her to become far more resilient than would normally be expected, with several types of potent damage reduction, magical armour, and [False Immortality]. She also has the skills and stats to be reasonably dangerous in melee, much less than a dedicated warrior but quite effective against moderately weak foes. Pareth takes the opposite approach, with great physical strength and absurd toughness, augmented by a selection of magical skills for shielding, healing, and restraining.

Charged Attack
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: Sofia's [Angel's bolt] is a powerful attack skill that takes ten seconds to charge before she can fire it. Sofia eventually learns how to adjust the intensity, allowing her to fire weaker bolts faster, or spend dramatically more time and mana charging it to the level of a Fantastic Nuke. The signature skill of the church templars is [Holy Smite], which takes 30 seconds to cast, but then blasts a whole area with holy light. Plus, multiple templars can contribute to make it stronger. They typically enclose the area in a shield first to stop the target from getting away. However, the templars casting it have to be inside the shield. Sofia attacks them before they're finished casting, killing them or forcing them to stop casting and defend themselves. Ranking Spire floor 96 includes a spellcaster with a similar "charge up and then smite the whole area" skill, complete with an enclosing shield, with the aid of a catalyst orb. Sofia uses multiple layers of magical armour to just absorb the hit without damage.

Required Secondary Powers: The [Ringed Arms of Zar] enhances the wearer's offensive and destructive magic, with the System description "May you bring all things to their destined end."

Sofia ultimately finds [Collapse] to be the most useful feature, since it can wreck active and ongoing spells with minimal side effects.

Fantasy Metals
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_5bb574d
comment
Fantasy Metals: Mithril is a metal used to coat high-end weaponry. It's almost indestructible, magic-resistant, holds a sharp edge forever, and is lightweight. However, it's very rare, only ever found in tiny nodes. It also doesn't accept enchantments well. Orichalcum is a pink metal stronger and heavier (and much more expensive) than steel. It's less impressive than mithril, but not quite as rare, and can be enchanted. Where a mithril dagger would actually be mithril-coated titanium, an orichalcum dagger would be solid. Sofia is able to obtain enough orichalcum to construct a complete defensive "EGG" shell, covers the interior in runes for protective spells, and hides inside it to survive a spell meant to kill armies. Mithrium is an alloy of mithril and orichalcum, but can no longer be created, only found in tiny veins. It's even stronger than either one, but is so exceedingly rare that is an Awesome, but Impractical choice for most equipment. Erredis has a staff made of it, which makes sense for an ancient dragon. Not much is known about Adamian steel, except that it's almost indestructible and extremely rare. Sofia has only encountered it being used in small quantities for very special artefacts like two of the unique rewards in the second trial and Erredis' reinforcement of Sofia's Shadow Sceptre, as well as being mined in a golem factory operated by someone over level 500. Just the slag produced as a mining byproduct is very valuable.

New Life in Another World Bonus: Saints can summon people from other worlds to become heroes. Upon arrival, three hero's blessings are picked at random; the hero is given the descriptions and gets to choose the one they'll keep. When Sofia summons Pareth and "Bookie", she gets to make the choice of which blessing to take, since they are not fully sapient at the time, while Ihuarah defers the choice to her. Alith, though, makes her own choice, at Sofia's insistence.

Batman Can Breathe in Space
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_5ed3ace2
comment
Sofia gets access to several items and skills that reduce her needs, such as the Saintess items that reduce the need for sleep and halve the speed of ageing. [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void], once the first realm is fully trained, allows her to see in the dark, breathe light instead of air, and ignore the cold. After her second trial, her [Heat Death] specialization allows her body to entirely self-sustain on its own mana. All of this, in combination with her System-enhanced resilience, allows her to live for months in the void of space. The second realm of VPPV continues the trend, such as stopping her ageing and turning her blood into light, so she no longer bleeds when injured; even after cutting off her hand, the light continues to circulate in the places her veins used to be, and even responds like a hand, going so far as allowing her to channel [Angel's Bolt].

Cursed Item: Sofia gets a good discount on her storage amulet because it has an inconvenient side effect. It constantly fills up with a trickle of yellow sand, which will spill over if it gets full, so it has to be regularly emptied. Alith actually finds it intriguing, and wants to keep it even after they come across more powerful and uncursed storage items. Ihuarah eventually takes it, because as an animist who can make sticks and feathers and leaves gain life and fight for him, he finds the sand very useful.

Adoptive Name Change: Sofia speculates that she's been adopted when the System gives her a new surname, "Aphenoreth". She has a hard time learning more about it, though, because the name scares the living daylights out of everyone. Apostles of the Recessed receive a new name and are referred to as children, eg Akramaiazerfen, Son of Dread, or Evranarheimlein, Daughter of Curse. After performing of the ritual of the Sabbath of the Hollowed Heart, Sofia becomes Vakariazrehafin, Daughter of Sorrow.

Losing Your Head: It turns out that if you don't need to breathe or bleed, you can cut your own head off and survive. Sofia still uses a False Immortality rune before testing it, just in case — which actually gets in the way, because without the ability to heal, she can't just stick her head back on.

Reclaimed by Nature: This tends to happen with ruins left abandoned for decades or centuries (like the old capital city where Sofia started and finished her first trial), but special mention goes to "the green", an area north of Couvauz between the mountain range and the desert, where plants have been magically growing out of control for the last twenty years, to such an extent that people living in its path found it easier to relocate than try to stop the spread. Ihuarah reveals that it's the work of an Unstoppable Dimmerion plant, which grows and heals so fast that hardly anyone in the world is strong enough to kill it, but Sofia proceeds to attack the core with an [Angel's Bolt] so overcharged and destructive that the original angel turns up with a warning never to use such a spell in an inhabited area.

Heroic Sacrifice: Pareth repeatedly chooses to protect Sofia rather than save himself or even follow orders, such as casting a [Greater Heal] on her and then letting a volley of fireballs home in on and destroy him, rather than teleporting back to her. It's actually a prerequisite of his Specialisation, that he's willing to protect her at any cost. Good thing he can be raised again…

Negate Your Own Sacrifice: Sofia finds a loophole to make a Human Sacrifice ritual more palatable, by sacrificing herself while wearing an Auto-Revive item. She then has to kill herself a second time — but that was actually a standard part of the ritual, which revives her as an Apostle of Sorrow.

Hybrid Monster: TLDR grows a custom hybrid monster, a mixture of Mauler and Hellspawn, then deliberately mutates it with a disease, in order to make the best skeleton he can for Pareth. It ends up with three heads facing in different directions, armor plates and spikes everywhere, goat-style legs capable of jumping to great heights, and still small enough to go most (though not all) places that Sofia can.

Giant Squid: Higher level phageids resemble 3-metre-tall squids, except that they're blue and have only three tentacles. Those tentacles can stretch tens of metres further, though, and are quite resilient. Sofia and Alith are able to kill one in multiple confrontations, with healing in between, but after that they settle for just cutting through the floor and dropping the remainder of them into the void, despite missing out on loot that way.

And Your Reward Is Clothes: Sofia and Alith both received clothes as a reward for clearing their first trial. Sofia received a full outfit (robe, gloves, boots, and underwear) that was fancy, comfortable, self-cleaning, and self-repairing. Alith received a magical talking bandeau capable of eating other clothes or armor and copying their abilities, although it requires that she leave most of her torso exposed. The gachapon boxes occasionally give non-magical clothes, but this is explicitly one of the worst prizes you can get from them. On one occasion Sofia receives a pair of glasses with no lenses, purely for aesthetic purposes.

Not So Invincible After All: When Sofia suggests killing the Unstoppable Dimmerion, Ihuarah gently chides her that the name was chosen for a reason. Her response? "Have you ever heard of the Erredian Rot?" The Rot actually isn't enough all by itself, but it does weaken the Dimmerion, after which she brings the plant near death with an Angel Bolt so large that the original angel turns up and warns her to be careful where she aims that thing, before finishing the Dimmerion off.

He's turned it into a dagger, sword, spear, mace, lance, war hammer, and even a giant pair of shears. As a chicken skeleton, he was able to get around the lack of hands by turning it into chicken claws of holy light.

comment
Carry a Big Stick: Sofia's shadow scepter is primarily an Amplifier Artifact, but since it is made of black primus wood and orichalcum, it's quite dense and durable, so with a big enough gap in levels between her and her opponent, it can also be an effective melee weapon. Once primed, it gains the ability to deal electrical damage on melee attacks, although since it also becomes a much better amplifier, she still mostly uses it for spellcasting.

Treasure Room: Played with in Zangdar. After mercy-killing the master of Zangdar and inheriting his castle, Sofia goes exploring and is disappointed that the castle lacks a Treasure Room… unless you count the jeweled ring she pulled from the late master's dead hand, which turned out to be a password-protected storage item leading to a Pocket Dimension about five meters tall and fifteen meters long and wide, containing priceless magical artifacts, a fortune in precious metals, and some treasures of mostly sentimental value. Sofia realizes it makes sense to keep all of your valuables with you in a portable password-protected Treasure Room if you're rich enough to afford one and powerful enough to protect it.

Mugging the Monster
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_7276d0de
comment
Mugging the Monster: During Sofia's visit to Hooasow, when she's level 119, four thugs with levels ranging from 53 to 99 try to rob her. Presumably they figured that a [Saint] without any heroes accompanying her will be an easy mark. However, a [Saintomancer] has far more combat potential, and her summoned hero skeleton was simply kept out of sight when not in use. She later uses their skeletons to experiment with modified versions of her necromancy ritual circle. Cinthia destroys a bone bird in the virtual dungeon she's exploring, and is puzzled both by the presence of an undead, and by the lack of a kill notification from the System. Then Sofia turns up to investigate the loss of her scout… The students of Beligenus' Academy are allowed to attack teachers to steal their bags of competition tokens, and being at a relatively low level, Sofia looks like a soft target. However, not only does she punch well above her weight class, her skills are very well suited to dealing with crowds of weaker opponents, since she can summon hundreds of skeletal minions. She can fly, absorb incoming spells, see through invisibility by sensing mana... and Pareth is always by her side, a One-Man Army in his own right. She doesn't even use her strongest abilities, like angelic lightning.

Soon after, Sofia finds herself being targeted by a team of bounty hunters whose highest-level member is a seer capable of using divination to track Sofia.

She eventually decides that it's worth using on the mark of Aphenoreth, which has been added to her status.

Hybrid Power
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_7e8a9164
comment
Hybrid Power: Gaining a mixture of traits associated with both the [Saint] and [Necromancer] classes makes Sofia unusually powerful. Pareth has the blessing that summoned heroes get, and can gain strength both from his own levels and from the levels of Sofia's associated skill like a regular hero. But he's also undead, letting her raise him again from a fresh set of bones if he's destroyed, and adjust his base stats to whatever bones he's currently in. Furthermore, his hero blessing gives him more strength based on his weight, so when she hunts down bigger and stronger hosts for him, he gets boosted twice (once due to the base stats of the bones, and a second time due to their significant weight). Both the [Necromancer] and [Saint] class are Glass Cannons, so by combining their stat multipliers, Sofia really doesn't lose much toughness; she was always going to be very fragile. What she gains, though, is a truly immense mana pool. And then Alith's candies boost her maximum health by a fixed amount, which largely negates the drawback anyway.

BFS: The sword-obsessed saintess Morning Star is 2.3 meters tall, but has a sword that's 7 meters long and half a meter wide. However, she has telekinetic powers that let her control it (and many others), so it's not quite as impractical as it seems. While fighting sandworms up to 50 meters long, Pareth turns his Morph Weapon into a copy of Morning Star's sword made of holy light. Inhabiting a stone ogre skeleton at the time makes it a little more reasonable.

 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_8514979
comment
Give Chase with Angry Natives: When Sofia is being hunted through a Thrombber hive, she sends out a flock of bird skeletons to provoke the Thrombbers and then lure them toward her pursuers. That doesn't take the hunters out, but they're hurt and delayed, which makes it easy for her to set an ambush.

Power Glows
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_857d1626
comment
Power Glows: The majority of Sofia's skills emit some degree of holy light. For most of them, this is largely cosmetic — until she acquires the [Breath of the Outcast] skill, which allows any source of holy light to spread the Erredian Rot. After unlocking the Light Forging Realm of the Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void, Sofia is startled to see thousands of veins of light under her skin.

Aphenoreth has always been helpful to Sofia, but he's also an Eldritch Abomination who not only doesn't speak, but silences everything in his presence, distorts the System, first appeared standing over her bed, and is best known for erasing those who speak his name without permission. He and his sort-of-daughter Sofia have a nice moment watching the sun together, though, and he leaves her a picture of the two of them afterward.

Seeing Through Another's Eyes: Pareth's specialization into an Eclipse Skeleton linked his and Sofia's souls together. Among other things, this allows Sofia to see and hear using Pareth’s senses whenever she wants to. At Brighthall Academy, Sofia meets a more traditional necromancer, who teaches her a transmission spell she can use to see, hear, and talk through other skeletons or even just disembodied skulls after carving a particular rune into them. The necromancer had used this spell to create the fantasy equivalent of a smart doorbell.

The Chosen One
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_89631688
comment
The Chosen One: Each god can appoint just one [Saint], who receives the corresponding class along with a portion of the god's divine essence, and can only be replaced upon the Saint's death. How the gods treat their saints…varies. Sofia is chosen by the minor god of Scripture, but it's not benevolent; she's part of an experiment intended to give Scripture a cheap way to manifest an avatar in the material world, through Loophole Abuse of the System. The Recessed have a different setup, where an individual can undergo a ritual to become a demonic apostle. Instead of granting a class, the apostle's body is drastically altered. Sofia performs Sorrow's ritual, the Sabbath of the Hollowed Heart — but she does it inside the false world of the first filter trial, and it's undone when she leaves. Sorrow is intrigued by her, however, and lets her keep some of it.

Immunity Disability: Resistance to mind-altering effects means that you can't be anaesthetised by the System when undergoing extensive and painful changes… Enchanting her own skull as a blessed construct gives Sofia a lot of resilience, but also interferes with her ability to cut off her wings if that's needed or wanted (eg to replenish her bone storage).

Bloody Murder: Astelia's version of the vampiric [Blood Curse] racial skill causes her spilled blood to burst into flames that burn more intensely than normal fire. Together with her abnormally large health pool and [Greater regeneration] passive skill, Astelia has the option of cutting herself and using space magic to launch the blazing blood at her enemies, although we've only ever seen her employ this strategy against monsters capable of reforming even after being torn to pieces.

These Are Things Man Was Not Meant to Know: The Lords of the Deep prefer that information about them is not spread around too widely. Powerful individuals are aware of them, and usually scared of them, but speaking their names will usually result in them eliminating the offender, sometimes including all traces that the speaker ever existed. Zhǎng Lú’ has a collection of midenicite tablets that explains the different planes of existence, including the Deep, albeit rather cryptically; when Sofia views them, she is unharmed because she has the Deep's blessing, but Aphenoreth still takes the relevant tablet away.

The Needless
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_90b98fbb
comment
The Needless: Despite having a human form, Alith is actually a ghost, so she doesn't need to eat, drink, sleep, or even breathe. She'll still indulge herself when it's convenient, although her innate poison immunity prevents her from getting drunk. Demonic Apostles don't need to eat or drink, and are also The Ageless. Which is how Zerei remained trapped alive underground for over 2000 years. Once freed, though, she's excited to be able to eat again. Sofia gets access to several items and skills that reduce her needs, such as the Saintess items that reduce the need for sleep and halve the speed of ageing. [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void], once the first realm is fully trained, allows her to see in the dark, breathe light instead of air, and ignore the cold. After her second trial, her [Heat Death] specialization allows her body to entirely self-sustain on its own mana. All of this, in combination with her System-enhanced resilience, allows her to live for months in the void of space. The second realm of VPPV continues the trend, such as stopping her ageing and turning her blood into light, so she no longer bleeds when injured; even after cutting off her hand, the light continues to circulate in the places her veins used to be, and even responds like a hand, going so far as allowing her to channel [Angel's Bolt].

Night of the Living Mooks
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_920ca805
comment
Due to her altered skills, instead of the Night of the Living Mooks, Sofia can summon exactly one Holy Skeleton, whom she names Pareth. If she uses the ritual on a new set of bones, then the old set collapses. Fortunately, Pareth's level and skills transfer over, with stats adjusted to the new body. Even if he's destroyed entirely, she can just find a new set of bones and raise them to get him back. She goes through human, elf, rat, and even chicken bones, before eventually settling on immensely strong Stone Troll bones, giving him a huge power boost.

Ret-Gone

Ret-Gone: Speaking or writing the name of Aphenoreth the Inquisitor, one of the Lords of the Deep, can result in this. An adventurer who had been exploring ruins mentioned this name to Astelia, just as part of reading an item's description, and he disappeared, along with anyone's recollection of who the guy had been. Sofia's own memory is censored after Chapter 152 when she rescues Evranarheimlein, a.k.a Zerei, [Daughter of Curse], with Aphenoreth's intervention. Any time Sofia tries to think of Zerei's class, her mind goes blank after "Daughter of", and the class line in Zerei's status has been garbled to "Daughter of ̶͑�̜̬̼̲̠̔̅ ̵̭̦̈́̋̔͒͠ ̷�̘̠̲͑ ̷̯͌̄͒ ̷�̘̠̲͑ ̶̨̓̓̈͊ ". As seen in Chapter 153, Sofia can still think of the word "curses", but thinking of the Recessed known as Curse is impossible. She suspects that he/it was erased by Aphenoreth.

comment
Eldritch Location: Zangdar was transported into "the margin", a plane of existence far removed from the material plane (on the other side of the Recessed plane, in fact), in a fruitless attempt to escape from the invading phageids. The city now exists within a slowly depleting bubble of mana, surrounded on all sides by an endless mana-less void that kills anyone who enters it, and only accessible using one of the key-rings. Since it's separated from the material and spiritual planes, Alith can't use her ghost transformation there. The Eye of Creation is the centre of everything, and is a place where space grows faster than anyone can travel. As a result, it's possible to enter the Eye, but never to leave it. It's used as an eternal prison for very high level criminals, and once there, the System considers them to be dead for the purpose of determining inheritance of their possessions.

Flight: Sofia tries shopping for a magic item to let her fly, but they're relatively rare and expensive. On her budget, the only options are one that lets her take twenty brief steps in the air per day, or a slow-falling ring. She's later offered the [Holy wings of undeath] skill and takes it without a second thought, allowing her to fly freely as long as there is mana around. The top tier of the [Runeforged Overlord] skill allows her to fly at high speed in any direction without needing ambient mana. But she can't sustain it for very long.

Friendly Fireproof: The light bursts from the Spine of the Black Sun only trigger when the Spine strikes an enemy, and will only hurt enemies. Sofia has to find a loophole when she wants to have one of her skeletal minions trigger it, ordering the crow to peck her until it deals a single point of damage and counts as an enemy. The Erredian Rot does not touch Sofia, her skeletons, or what they're wearing. Everything else, living or not, is quickly reduced to carbon dust.

Our Vampires Are Different
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_9f63d4f1
comment
Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires in this setting are a distinct living race like elves or dwarves, rather than a type of undead, and although they need to drink blood regularly, they mostly eat normal food. Vampires are born as babies, and vampirism is passed down from the mother, so a vampire mother and non-vampire father would produce a vampire baby, whereas a vampire father and non-vampire mother would produce a non-vampire baby. Unlike humans that are born at level 1, most vampires are born at (or slightly above) level 100, letting them skip the first trial, although races with naturally high levels also have low fertility and difficult childbirth as a drawback. All vampires have a racial skill called [Blood Curse] that makes them crave non-vampire blood, which acts like a drug that strengthens them but can intoxicate or even kill them if they drink too much, although not drinking any will eventually turn them into mindless monsters. There are different versions of the [Blood Curse], as well. Agran has the ice variation, which makes his skin pale and cold to the touch, as well as granting him resistance to ice and cold but increased vulnerability to fire and heat. Astelia seems to be the opposite, as her skin is tanned and unusually warm to the touch, and her shed blood bursts into flames.

One-Hit Kill: The [Holy Smite] skill draws on the light of the gods. When used by Sofia's skeletal templars, it opens a portal to Death's domain, inflicting Instant Death on anyone in the affected area, and rapidly causing heavy damage to anyone immune to that status.

Bolt of Divine Retribution: Sofia's [Angel Bolt] skill is based on the lightning bolts used by Acromegon the angel, who turns out to be an enforcer sent by the System to punish those who break rules or go too far. He's polite when he visits Sofia, and even teaches her a different variant of the bolt, but also warns her that if she uses the explosive version at full power in a populated area, he might be sent to hunt her down.

Year Inside, Hour Outside: Time can be compressed inside filter trials; participants might spend six months there, even a year, but no more than a month has passed when they leave. Sofia takes advantage of it to spend four months training herself to cast [Angel's Bolt] without the assistance of the System, knowing that it won't cost her four months in the real world.

And I Must Scream
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: Zerei's backstory involved this. Her tribe was faced with a disaster that forced them to flee underground and made long-term survival unrealistic, so they decided their best option to preserve the tribe's knowledge was a ritual that would transform one of their most talented Runecrafters into a demonic Apostle, sacrificing the lives of the rest of the tribe in the process. Unfortunately, the ritual didn't quite go according to plan — the defences around the altar, which were supposed to prevent outside interference, unexpectedly killed all of the participants — and Zerei couldn't escape from her chains afterward. Unable to age, and no longer requiring food or water to survive, Zerei found herself trapped all alone in an empty subterranean city inside a dungeon. The dungeon's entrance is hidden under a pool of magical poison deep inside a sinister forest populated by deadly monsters, and the dungeon itself is filled with a magical darkness that stubbornly refuses to be illuminated, populated by living shadows that can kill without making a noise, and containing a curse barrier that turns flesh into stone. Zerei was trapped for about two thousand years before Sofia happened to come along with the right combination of abilities to reach Zerei and enough empathy to liberate an imprisoned demon rather than kill it.

Super-Scream: Alith can use [Maiden's Shriek] to debilitate or even instantly kill those who hear it, depending on how resistant they are. It's meant to be used in ghost form, although she can use it in human form as well, with the caveat that it ruins her own throat, causing her to vomit blood afterward. Upon coming close to losing a fight, the Incarnation of Victory shouts his defiance with enough force to physically hurl people away. The [Skull Choir]'s default attack type is sonic, which is to say, a skull shouts and the target is hit with intense vibrations, enough to explode trees in a cloud of shrapnel.

"No Peeking!" Request: Sofia doesn't actually think to ask for privacy before getting incinerated by a dragon's breath, which she revives from but her clothes do not. However, when she comes to, Pareth is standing in front of her with a large opaque shield. Also, Erredis isn't far away and would be put out if Sofia were mistreated.

Apocalyptic Log: While exploring the Maze of Zar in the Ranking Spire, Sofia found a very old journal that was mostly unreadable, but she was able to make out pieces here and there mentioning an "uncovered artifact", "pagan rituals", other people being "probably dead, or worse", and how "only nightmares await on the other side" of the doors. She finds this journal after fighting a dozen suits of armor that apparently contained people at one point but had since been filled with hostile tree monsters.

Super-Persistent Predator: The first Sunless Amalgam that Sofia meets turns out to be capable of sensing her location, phasing through the ground faster than her skeletons can carry her, leaping high into the air (and without ambient mana she can't fly), chasing almost as fast as her enhanced running speed, launching parts of itself as highly damaging magical projectiles, and it's extremely hard to hurt. Note that that includes her 2000% running speed bonus from the [DODGE ME] skill, and she's still only slightly faster than the blob. She's kilometres away from her starting point by the time the Rot finally erodes it too far to continue.

Be Careful What You Wish For: After learning it's possible to wager divine essence in the third trial, Alith suggests that she could use an essence from the Orator. The Orator finds this idea intriguing and entertaining. However, the essence he shoves into her doesn't interact well with her body, causing her to collapse on the ground screaming, and the Orator then forces Sofia to kill her, after which Sofia spends about 25 hours desperately trying to gather enough mana to resurrect Alith before her soul fades.

Loophole Abuse
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_b1dde8fd
comment
Loophole Abuse: The unique combination of [Saint] and [Necromancer] opens up opportunities to exploit the System in ways that the original classes couldn't do. For example, Pareth's Hero blessing, the "Blessing of Bloating", makes him stronger as he gets heavier. It's intended for humans and near-humans. Giving it to a skeleton who can be transferred into any set of bones Sofia can acquire (eg a Stone Troll) allows him to gain benefits dramatically larger than usual. The "Sabbath of the Hollow Heart" necromantic ritual has a bunch of specific requirements, one of which is a willing Human Sacrifice who "must not be of a level beneath that of the necromancer". Thanks to this wording, Sofia is able to use a rare single-use Auto-Revive magical item so she can sacrifice herself to herself, then come back to life and switch roles from Human Sacrifice to necromancer and carry out the rest of the ritual without actually having to convince anyone else to participate in her insane plan. The first task of the Ranking Spire is to identify the poisoned item in a room full of food. Sofia just dunks a piece of bread in a poison she was carrying, and announces "This one." The [One With Suffering] skill increases strength and speed proportionally to the amount of health lost in a fight, with the bonus going away when that damage is healed. However, dying and using a [False Immortality] rune to revive with full health doesn't count as healing, so Sofia can push the bonus past 100%.

Added Alliterative Appeal: The author is fond of alliteration. The story's title, Saintess Summons Skeletons, is far from the only example. The main protagonist is Sofia, Saintess of Scripture. Technically. Chapter 132 is called Special Self-Service Scribe Shop. Chapter 145 is called Skeleton Soldier Showdown. After Sofia obtains the Avian King-magi Scepter inside a supernaturally dark dungeon and combines it with her legendary Midenicite catalyst, the system promptly renames it Sofia’s Shadow Scepter. Chapter 149 is called Dangerous Demon Dance. Sofia's system scribe takes to giving safety ratings on things she's about to consume, such as "Sufficiently safe" and "Potentially painful product". Chapter 413 is called Sherlock Sofia Sunders System Secrets.

Healing Potion: Dark green Sieva extract potions are the standard for adventurers under level 100, with one flask restoring 5000 health, although drinking more than two flasks in one day can cause a fatal overdose. Alith later designs potions that heal a comparable amount of health but over a longer time, so they can be drunk immediately before doing something harmful (like casting [Angel's Bolt]), as well as very strong potions that can only be used once a week.

And Show It to You
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_b807624a
comment
And Show It to You: The Sabbath of the Hollowed Heart doesn't quite work out normally in Sofia's case. First, instead of taking the heart from a willing Human Sacrifice as instructed, she cuts out her own heart (hey, she's a willing human) and places that on the altar, using a special magical item to revive herself from death once. Then, once her offered heart has absorbed the essence of hundreds of undead and changed into something unrecognisable, she has to eat it, raw, while falling to her death again. Once completed, she is transformed into an Apostle of Sorrow — except that it took place inside the virtual world of the first filter trial, so once the trial is complete, she's back to normal. Sorrow is intrigued by her, however, and grants her the ability to temporarily transform again, with certain restrictions. Each transformation involves her heart leaping out of her chest and her taking a bite out of it.

Brown Note Being: Demons vary wildly from one another since they're apostles of vastly different Recessed like Sorrow, Domination, or Taxes, but one thing they seem to have in common is that just being near them is very dangerous for lower-level humans. Simply looking at them (even if it's too dark to actually see them) can cause people to faint, go insane, or even die on the spot. This dangerous aura can't be simply turned off like passive skills can, but the more civilized demons can apparently learn how to suppress the aura themselves or rely on magical items for that purpose.

Last Chance Hit Point
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_beac3bec
comment
Last Chance Hit Point: One of the effects of Sofia's passive skill [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void] prevents a single hit from taking away more than 99% of her maximum health, so if she's at full health, she can survive any attack even if it would normally be more than enough to kill her outright. She uses it to blow up herself and the Incarnation of Victory at the same time with a pair of Angel bolts; it doesn't kill him, but he's far from unscathed, while she's a walking charred corpse. Later, while investigating Sovuln, this allows Sofia to survive a powerful monster destroying her head (which would normally mean instant death) long enough for her party to regrow it with healing magic.

comment
Mind Virus: Scripture has been using soul parasites (which can invisibly spread from person to person via physical contact) to manipulate members of his Corrupt Church. Soul parasites are usually subtle, altering a person's behavior by amplifying or dampening certain emotions so they don't realize anything's wrong. However, if a person disobeys the Oracle's orders, these soul parasites also have a way of destroying an infected person's mind in their sleep, leaving an Empty Shell that retains the original person's skills and can apparently be controlled by Scripture directly. The high-priest Gerold who was originally commanded to massacre Sofia's orphanage refused to do it, so his subordinates were taken over and used to carry out the mission instead, leading Gerold to try to figure out what was really going on, share his findings with Perenia and Jeb, then slit his own throat before Scripture could destroy his mind and take over his body.

Cool and Unusual Punishment: Challenging teachers to grab contest tokens may be fair game, but Sofia is quite displeased that her students were endangered in the process. So after she has subdued the troublemakers, she cuts a slit in each of their hands, uses [Bone Dominus] to pop all 27 bones out, and keeps them as a Creepy Souvenir, which she later uses to decorate the door of her quarters.

Dragon Hoard: Sofia's sister Saria has a lair in a Pocket Dimension that nobody can access without her permission, making it a great place to keep her huge pile of gold and jewels. However, the lair does double duty as both a Treasure Room and a Boss Room, as she can forcibly teleport enemies with her to her lair (where the dense mana gives dragons a big advantage), and they can't escape without defeating her.

Hold the Line: Sofia's first filter trial only requires her to survive through the solstice, which she could achieve merely by distracting her pursuers and running away. However, it offers extra rewards for successfully avenging her character on the girl who framed her. Sofia goes further, using a dark sacrificial ritual to massively boost her power, successfully killing a mage 200 levels higher than herself, comprehensively defeating the kingdom's military, and then going through the villains like a hot knife through butter. Floor 9 of the second trial requires her to survive for three minutes as all manner of magical and mundane projectiles are launched at her. She cheats by using her graveyard skeletons to sink underground and ignore the assault.

Alien Blood: Upon advancing the Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void far enough, Sofia's blood changes into light. It still keeps circulating around her body, though; in fact, if she's cut or stabbed, it keeps flowing in the same pattern instead of leaking out. She can even survive having her head cut off with minimal trouble; the light dangles from her neck in the shape of the veins and arteries she no longer has. When she completes the second trial, the System messages for her tier upgrade mention that she has a "Race evolution already ongoing..."

Badass Bookworm: Before the plot took off, Sofia spent most of her time in her orphanage's library. After receiving the broken [Saintomancer] class, much of her power comes from figuring out the right skill keywords to put together, or realizing loopholes or synergies she can exploit to use her skills in ways they probably weren't intended. Throughout her journey, she continues to seek out knowledge that might prove helpful, like the month she spent in Couvauz reading about mana and ritual theories, item production, known classes and their fighting styles, common monsters, and religions. She also comes up with experiments to test her unique class abilities, like using the skeletons of the thugs she kills in self-defense to test new necromancy ritual circles she customized herself. And as if that wasn't enough, the third hero she summons turns out to be a sentient book.

Hope Spot: After two thousand years, Zerei, a.k.a Evranarheimlein, apostle of Curse, is finally freed from her bindings, which will allow Curse to operate in the world again. Except that she then dies due to incompatibility with Sofia's Scribe-only mode. Curse desperately tries to avoid it by resetting time, failing over and over again, until Sofia manages to call on the Deep to break the loop and Curse gets a time-out.

Internal Reveal: T.L.D.R. can immediately recognise Pareth's presence in Sofia's storage. He doesn't reveal all the details himself, but he does announce that necromancy is part of Sofia's class, in front of Orvod and a very curious Valeure who had previously thought Sofia was a regular Saint. He later pays Sofia to tell him everything she can about her interactions with the Deep, learning about how she received their blessing and her surname. In a lecture at Beligenus' Academy, Sofia publicly explains her hybrid class, and how she obtained it from getting two classes at once.

Sofia performs a Human Sacrifice ritual with herself as the victim, inside a filter trial, and turns into an Apostle of Sorrow, granting her a demonic form with immense strength and toughness, and potent magical abilities. Outside the trial, Sorrow decides that she has shown promise, despite not performing the ritual for real, and grants her ongoing access to the form, but only when she has no mana, plus she incurs an XP debt when she uses it, so it's a backup form for serious fights.

Necromancer: Sofia is fascinated by the idea of commanding armies of skeletons, and wanted to gain the [Necromancer] class as a result. As a [Saintomancer], all of her summoned heroes are undead, which is good, because summoning living heroes has a lot of ethical problems. Most of the world's best spatial storage items were made by the lich known as T.L.D.R., formerly human and now just a skeleton. His friends don't seem to have any problem with his activities. He's able to procure an excellent set of host bones for Pareth, humanoid but large and very heavy, from a Boneplate Mauler.

Elemental Plane
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_c8552b9a
comment
Elemental Plane: The world has six known planes, or possibly 6.5, for the gods and Recessed (anti-gods), the physical and spiritual planes, the endless void of the "margin", and the deep. Mana exists between the physical and spiritual planes, but isn't precisely a plane itself. Zangdar was transported to the margin to escape from invading phageids, but unfortunately they had already infiltrated. Teleportation involves stretching one's soul through the spiritual plane, to mark out a trail, then following the path in the physical plane. This means it can be traced, but without that trail, the destination would be random.

Semantic Superpower: Instead of gaining access to the normal skill list, Sofia gets pieces of skills, half from the Saint class and half from Necromancer, such as "[Blessing of ", "[Dispel ", and " bolt]". She can then fit the pieces together however she wants, and the System will do its best to fill in the gaps and provide a skill matching the name, sometimes delegating to a [Scribe] to invent something. This can produce unreasonably powerful results, such as [Angel's Bolt], which is copied from an actual archangel's primary attack, or [Divine Shadow body], which is converted to [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void] and grants her access to a whole new enhancement system for her body and mind, full of potent immunities and resistances.

Magic Staff: Sofia's shadow scepter is primarily an Amplifier Artifact, but since it is made of black primus wood and orichalcum, it's quite dense and durable, so with a big enough gap in levels between her and her opponent, it can also be an effective melee weapon. Once primed, it gains the ability to deal electrical damage on melee attacks, although since it also becomes a much better amplifier, she still mostly uses it for spellcasting.

Taken for Granite: There are curses capable of turning flesh to stone. One of the three ritual schematics Valeure offered to teach Sofia had this effect, although Sofia instead chose one that created a zone of faster mana regeneration. Later, while exploring the Buried Cathedral, Sofia got too close to a curse trap and her foot started turning to stone. She had to amputate her leg to keep it from spreading, although regrowing a lost limb was easy enough for her by then.

Delicious Distraction: The vampire blood curse causes them to be easily distracted by the smell of blood, and actually drinking it has hallucinogenic properties for them.

Astelia freezes in place rather than succumb, losing the duel but keeping her dignity.

Dragons Versus Knights
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_d2e5d85d
comment
Dragons Versus Knights: Sofia's sister Saria is both dragon and knight all in one, which makes for an interesting dynamic against Sofia (Saint and Necromancer in one). On one hand, she's the dragon boss whom Sofia has to overcome, and on the other hand, Sofia comes across looking more like a villain for the knight in shining armour to cut down.

I Know Your True Name
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_d3b02ffb
comment
I Know Your True Name: Saying or writing the name of a Lord of the Deep (Aphenoreth, Ormoncleth, Edrazaketh, and Yvraveteth) doesn't grant any power over him, but it will get his attention. This usually ends badly for the speaker. However, because of Sofia's [Blessing of the Deep], she can talk about them freely without being harmed. When she's trapped in a time loop created by one of the Recessed, she tries every possible four-syllable letter combination until she gets a reaction from "Edrazaketh."

Training from Hell
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_d66cd0e6
comment
Training from Hell: The Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void has some extraordinarily painful and dangerous training requirements. If it weren't for the fact that Sofia can afford to die repeatedly, it would also be remarkably tedious into the bargain. Sofia also invents an easier way to learn spells without needing System guidance: make a bone sculpture of the mana patterns, then you can simply send mana along the bones, until you're accustomed to it. Of course, since mana is generally channeled through the body, that means perforating her own organs with hundreds of needle-fine bone shards...but it's faster than learning the usual way!

StatusEffect
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_d7f15a88
comment
Status Effect: Sofia combines the keywords "[Greater holy ", " miasma]", and " with suffering]" to create a skill she can't read, as it's labelled in draconic, but the description says that it allows any holy light she produces to spread The Erredian Rot. The description doesn't explain exactly what that condition will do, though. The direct damage from [Saintess' Madness] is nothing special, but it also inflicts a status condition on the target. By prepping the right element ahead of time, Sofia can produce some nasty effects, such as inflicting Mana Burn right before a monster casts a powerful spell, which results in it suffering massive backlash.

Acquired Poison Immunity
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_daba0e87
comment
Acquired Poison Immunity: The [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void] skill is primarily focused on gaining resistances or immunities through prolonged exposure to things, such as enduring fire or force damage to gain explosion resistance, or exploring pitch-black dungeons to gain Innate Night Vision. Sofia makes extensive use of [False Immortality] runes to speed things up, letting her blow herself up, or get killed in the dark by True Shades, over and over. By the time VPPV has advanced to the third step of the Light Forging Realm, Sofia is so resistant to poisons that all of Alith's alchemical skill can't hurt her enough to progress further, and she actually sets up a public booth offering to pay anyone who can successfully poison her. The students manage a few fractions of a percent of VPPV progress, but the Empress has much more potent brews at her disposal, allowing her to both assist and intimidate Sofia at the same time. The Deep has a tendency to add relevant immunities to the [Blessing of the Deep] skill after Sofia suffers exotic attacks, such as [Soul Parasites].

Only the Worthy May Pass
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_dabda72b
comment
Only the Worthy May Pass: Upon reaching certain level thresholds (99, 199, 249, 299), no more experience is granted, and progression stops, until the person goes through a "trial." They are usually not fatal, but are designed to push you to your limit — and you only get one attempt at each trial, ever, so if you fail, you can never level up again. However, they offer special rewards for exceptional performance, so the gap in strength between level 99 and 100, or between 249 and 250, can be quite large. Sofia later discovers that with sufficient time and expertise, it is possible to manually and painstakingly alter and improve one's body in the same way that the System would have; Orvod is locked at level 299, but that was enough to become The Ageless, and in the centuries since, he has managed to give himself strength that the System ranks at equivalent to level 412.

Flying Face: The [Skull choir] skill creates a rotating ring of floating skulls that follow the caster around and attack independently (or they can be manually controlled). It can be enhanced further by absorbing new varieties of skulls. Sandworm skulls provide the ability to shoot laser beams, which are much more potent than the default Super-Scream — but Sofia is disappointed that the worm skulls can't sing.

Poke in the Third Eye: After Sofia learns that her long-lost sister miraculously survived the monster tide, she finds a high-level diviner capable of locating people using residual traces of their mana signature left behind in hairs pulled from an old brush. The diviner is able to locate the target's general vicinity, but while attempting to pinpoint their location more precisely, the diviner's spell goes out of control, backlashing violently, because the target (or someone close to them) does not like being spied upon.

Immune to Fire: Alith chooses the "Phoenix lineage" hero blessing, making her entirely immune to heat. It also has the side effect of adjusting her hair and skin tones toward orange and red, but she doesn't mind. When Sofia is commissioning armour, her first priority is heat resistance, to handle the backlash from [Angel's Bolt]. The smith makes her a gambeson from salamander hide. Astelia's blood curse lets her fly through a cone of fire spell unscathed — but she's very vulnerable to ice.

comment
Emotion Control: Soul parasites are spiritual monsters that embed themselves in their victim's soul and manipulate their actions by amplifying or dampening certain emotions, usually to make it easier to devour their soul. Sofia believes that Scripture infected her with one of these before she escaped the church, and used it to nudge her towards reckless behavior to try to get her killed after it became clear that Sofia wasn't going to give Him what He wanted. He later unleashes a plague of them that takes over the upper echelons of the church.

The experienced teachers immediately teleport away. The others have to deal with a mob of students firing spells at them. And that's only the start.

No Party Like a Donner Party: After Sofia and Alith find themselves trapped in the lost city of Zangdar for months with dwindling supplies, Sofia resorts to eating Alith's flesh to stay alive. In a subversion, Sofia's healing magic lets her safely regrow Alith's leg every time it's cut off, so it's much less of a moral dilemma than usual, and Sofia finds it more disturbing than Alith does. Sofia is disturbed by the remains of the elves on the Orbital Solar Temple, one of whose bodies shows clear signs of being eaten after they were trapped together. (Not that it helped; they all died anyway. But at least it resulted in an intact skeleton for Sofia to use.)

Bag of Holding: Items that provide expanded storage spaces are expensive, but widespread. Sofia initially has to compromise and buy a limited cursed storage amulet due to budget constraints, but she later finds much more impressive examples. T.L.D.R. seems to have a particular specialty in them. The [Armor of Bones] skill provides extradimensional storage space for literal tons of extra bones, which it can use to repair itself. Pareth can also store himself there. Ihuarah indicates that spatial items didn't exist thousands of years ago, although there were known ways to attach a spatial expansion to a person — with significant drawbacks that he doesn't want to elaborate on.

Ability Mixing
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_e459c80b
comment
Ability Mixing: Skill fusion tickets are rare System rewards that allow someone to combine two skills into one, freeing up a skill slot and potentially creating more than the sum of the parts if the skills have good synergy together. There's also a safeguard ensuring that the ticket won't be consumed if no good combination exists. Sofia fuses her [Armor of Bones] and [Holy Wings of undeath] to create [Exalted Exoskeleton], which merges her wings with her armor and results in several benefits. The armor gains the holy light aura of her wings, and now counts as part of her body (like her wings already did) so it can be healed by her [Bone Dominus] constructs or [Heal Undead] if her bone storage is empty. The bone armor's rapid self-repair function now applies to her wings as well, so sustaining damage to her wings during an aerial fight will only briefly affect her maneuverability. The whole winged armor assembly can be manipulated and retracted with much more freedom, which is especially useful since she previously had to cut off her wings when she wanted to keep a low profile, then magically heal them before she could take flight again. On top of all that, it also greatly boosts the bone storage capacity of her armor, going from 100kg per skill level (capped at 10,000kg at level 100) to a flat 1,000,000kg capacity. Less safely, evolving a skill can sometimes cause its mana channels to clash with one or more other skills. Resolving the conflict requires either deleting the conflicting skills, or manually reshaping channels to produce a fused skill, which can be very powerful and make mana pathways cleaner going forward — but all the time the conflict exists, the mana channels are degrading and collapsing, so it has to be fixed quickly or suffer massive damage. Sofia fuses four clashing skills, which gave bonuses to movement and thinking speeds, into one that gives large mental bonuses while staying still and large speed bonuses while moving. It takes up three slots, though, so she only frees up one.

Loot Boxes

Loot Boxes: Filter trials have a variety of rewards for people who go beyond the bare minimum needed to pass. When people earn a miscellaneous bonus reward, or the specific bonus reward they would have received isn't compatible with their class/skills (for example, Alith earned skill level boosts during her first filter trial, but she's technically an undead summon dependent on Sofia for existence, and Alith's weird support class and skills can only level up when Sofia's class levels up, making the skill level boosts unusable for her), they instead receive wooden "gachapon boxes" containing random prizes, with the boxes themselves disappearing once the contents are removed. So far, we've seen draws ranked from F to SS. 'SS' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included a forgotten relic selector ticker (a ticket that can be redeemed for a compass showing the optimal path to a Forgotten grade relic of the user's chosen type). 'A' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included an analysis scroll (a scroll that provides a single use of the [Identify] skill at maximum level with added system commentary) and a miner's flair scroll (a one-time use scroll that will give the precise location of the nearest unexploited natural vein of whatever mineral the user is already holding in their hand). 'A' rank draws from after the second filter trial have included a scroll of assisted inspiration (a one-time use scroll that lets the user write down an issue they're facing and ask the system for inspiration resolving the problem). 'B' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included an illustrated bestiary book about slimes. 'B' rank draws from after the second filter trial have included an illustrated bestiary book about shades. 'C' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included a minor Health pill (+500) and a minor Strength pill (+500). 'C' rank draws from after the second filter trial have included a Health pill (+5000), an Agility pill (+5000), a Speed pill (+5000), a Processing pill (+5000), and a pile of 5000 gold coins. 'D' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included a night vision pill(10min), an underwater breathing pill (10min), a relaxation pill (10min), and a pain relief pill (10min). 'D' rank draws from after the second filter trial have included a jade skin pill(30min), an odor suppressant pill(30min), and a weightlessness pill(30sec). 'E' rank draws from after the first filter trial have included stylish glasses (actually just empty frames without lenses) and warm socks. 'E' rank draws from after the second filter trial have included a fluffy bath towel, a colorful mug, a royal rug, 50 meters of sturdy string rope, a fertile dirt bag, a strong magnet, a wooden flute, a commander jacket, and a plate of sterile sterile fruits. (The glasses actually prove to be good to have, when a clothier recommends having glasses as part of Sofia's look.) We've only seen a single 'F' rank draw so far, when the Loot Box turned out to be empty and the wooden box itself was revealed as the prize.

Martial Pacifist: [The dark orb] is a powerful flying golem with an assortment of skills, but it will not protect a powerful owner, nor one who started or provoked the fight, even indirectly. It's meant to be gifted to someone weaker, such as a family member, to keep them safe and out of the way. Its System description states, 'May those who cannot protect themselves be protected'.

Summon Everyman Hero
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_ed53e31f
comment
Summon Everyman Hero: Saints can summon random people from other worlds to receive hero blessings and fight for the kingdom. This is heavily deconstructed, however; the summoning process is agonisingly painful for the hero, it can strike at an unbelievably bad time (such as a woman being snatched away just before she could prepare dinner for her young son, or a man getting summoned while he was driving a now out-of-control truck), it gives the hero a [Slave] class so they have no choice but to obey, there's no way of returning to their original world, and heroes often end up fighting other heroes summoned by other kingdoms rather than an army of Always Chaotic Evil demons. All in all, it's a pretty awful deal for the heroes. Their blessings are so potent, however, and make them so important to the international balance of power, that some kingdoms, like Skyreach, will immediately kidnap a newly chosen [Saint] to be used for constant summoning and healing until they die.

Underground City: Thousands of years ago, the Avians were struck by a mysterious disaster that forced them to flee underground. While exploring the subterranean dungeon known as Buried Cathedral, Sofia stumbles upon the ruins of the underground Avian city, but by then it was populated only by hostile Avian ghosts and a single chained-up demon.

Mundane Utility: Sofia's [Angel Bolt] is a ten second Charged Attack so powerful that she can't use it in an enclosed space, for fear of killing herself and/or bringing the whole building down. Every shot burns her armour and then her body with its mere presence, requiring magical healing to recover from the backlash. She can also use it to boil drinking water and grill meat.

comment
Distracted by the Sexy: Once Sofia is wearing a corset with her very generous chest, her sister Saria remarks that no one will notice what jewelry she's wearing, because "Your… charisma is overflowing." note The Charisma stat does influence physical appearance, resculpting the body to match the person's ideal, but Sofia was already generously endowed. A teenage boy asks why Sofia is hiding her face, so she dismisses her armour, revealing her six feet of magically toned and very well endowed physique in a casual outfit, crosses her legs, and tells him, "No reason." He doesn't manage to get his follow-up question out.

comment
Anti-Grinding: The System has several safeguards to make it harder — though certainly not impossible — to endlessly grind skills and levels, from the fact that you can only gain XP from defeating monsters at a higher level than yourself, to caps on various skills, to the "filters" that stop you from gaining more levels unless you can pass a great trial of character and strength — and you only get one attempt at each filter. [Way of the Fool] gives substantial XP rewards for defeating enemies through cunning trickery. Repeating the same trick, however, gives rapidly diminishing returns.

Mercy Kill: The master of Zangdar, trapped inside his own magical security system, begs for death — but warns that he is dangerous, and indeed, he doesn't go down easily. His last will and testament thank whoever did the deed. Sofia isn't sure what reaction she'll get for killing the Apostle of Dread, but it ends up being thanks for ending his suffering.

Organ Dodge: As Sofia advances the [Venerable Physique of the Primeval Void] skill, it progressively changes her body — especially in the Light Forging Realm. Eventually her blood, nerves, and brain are all turned into light, so stabbing her in the head just leaves a glowing hole without substantially harming her. During the third trial, Sofia finds traces of the [Relocate Core] skill, which allows a mana heart to move around its host body to avoid being hit.

Lock and Key Puzzle: To pass floor 97 of the Ranking Spire, challengers merely have to find the right key orb amongst hundreds of others, and insert it into the keyhole. Too bad that touching the wrong orb causes it to turn into an indestructible unstoppable magical arrow that constantly homes in on Sofia's vitals, or dramatically raises the ambient temperature, or starts a rain of large ice chunks.

Hopeless Boss Fight
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_fc07d409
comment
Hopeless Boss Fight: Sofia's first trial pits her, in the body of level 1 pampered princess Aurelia Grandcourt with locked skills unsuitable for combat, against Orvod the mountain shaper, a level 299 hero specialized in manipulating literal tons of stone. However, she does have skills to assist diplomacy and negotiation, and the trial's main goal is merely to survive for one month, which she could probably achieve by running away or surrendering the MacGuffin that the villains care about more than actually killing Aurelia. Instead, she uses a sacrificial ritual to transform into a monstrously powerful demonic apostle, moves the fight to favorable terrain, learns to wildcast her [Angel's Bolt] even with the skill unavailable to her because she's familiar enough with the spell's mana pattern, and takes Orvod down. When Sofia recounts the tale to Jennifer Sellar, who actually knew the real Aurelia and Orvod, Jen roars with laughter.

One-Winged Angel
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_fc33ff16
comment
One-Winged Angel: Sofia performs a Human Sacrifice ritual with herself as the victim, inside a filter trial, and turns into an Apostle of Sorrow, granting her a demonic form with immense strength and toughness, and potent magical abilities. Outside the trial, Sorrow decides that she has shown promise, despite not performing the ritual for real, and grants her ongoing access to the form, but only when she has no mana, plus she incurs an XP debt when she uses it, so it's a backup form for serious fights. The Incarnation of Victory can turn from an orc into an impossibly thin humanoid figure covered in eyes, which can infest opponents with a touch. However, it must constantly draw in mana to sustain itself. Saria can turn into a dragon, strengthening her and allowing her to manipulate mana around her without spending her own.

Disadvantageous Disintegration
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_fcb733b1
comment
Disadvantageous Disintegration: Using [Erredian Rot] against earth golems is a very mixed bag. It kills them quite efficiently, but also consumes their valuable cores and leaves nothing behind but ash, plus it can get onto the walls and compromise their structural integrity. On the other hand, consuming the bodies means that they don't get in the way and the next wave of golems can't use them as raw material for further attacks. When Sofia proceeds to use the Rot on the dungeon boss, though, it gets inside the final treasure chest and turns the loot to dust. The Rot isn't desirable in the third trial at all, since the value of dead monsters depends on their "imprints" being as intact as possible to harvest. Even the non-explosive version of [Angel's Bolt] is problematic. Sofia still has to use the Rot sometimes, against particularly dangerous opponents. Subverted for Pareth; thanks to wagering an essence of Knowledge, he doesn't need imprints to be intact to get full benefits from them.

Our Sirens Are Different: Sirens are sea monsters that hunt in packs, and when they find a ship, they work together to use strong hypnotizing chants to take control of the crew one by one, forcing them to jump overboard so the sirens can tear them apart in a feeding frenzy. Although the protagonists never got to see regular sirens, they did fight a siren queen, a huge four-winged flying half-fish half-bird monster with strong elemental attack magic.

Removed Achilles' Heel
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_fd7a9d0
comment
Removed Achilles' Heel: Sofia's demonic apostle form is nerfed once she's out of the trial, only being usable once she's at zero mana, and preventing her from recovering more until it's expired — so she's still strong, tough, and fast, but loses access to her powerful apostle skills. However, the [Heat Death] specialisation allows her to bypass this limitation and recover mana from the deaths of creatures around her. Furthermore, as soon as her mana isn't zero, it starts regenerating normally.

Unnaturally Looping Location
 Saintess Summons Skeletons / int_fef0037b
comment
Unnaturally Looping Location: The maze in the first phase of the Ranking Spire is like this. Not only does it have walls that move when nobody's looking and an absurdly dangerous monster that you need to sneak past to reach the hidden exit, it also has a subtle teleportation effect if you reach the circular boundary, causing you to appear on the opposite side of the circle. Sofia manages to figure this out fairly quickly because she can control her undead minions remotely and monitor their location relative to her, but most people don't have that option. It takes some time for Sofia to realize that the mansion her students are exploring is actually a trap, with teleportation blocked and all directions looping back to leave no escape. Even allowing an item to fall endlessly doesn't seem to drain the effect. She eventually breaks out by using the Ringed Arms of Zar to absorb all mana from the nearby environment.

Pet the Dog: Aphenoreth has always been helpful to Sofia, but he's also an Eldritch Abomination who not only doesn't speak, but silences everything in his presence, distorts the System, first appeared standing over her bed, and is best known for erasing those who speak his name without permission. He and his sort-of-daughter Sofia have a nice moment watching the sun together, though, and he leaves her a picture of the two of them afterward. Aphenoreth also saves Evranarheimlein, a.k.a Zerei's life, resolving Curse's millennia-long disappointment, when he turns up to fix causality in Chapter 152. Ormoncleth filled the Solar Orbital Temple with horrifying monsters that consume and infest anything they touch, forcing even a goddess to abandon the temple. Also, one of them kills Sofia's pet skeleton dog. Once she has completed her quest to clear the temple, however, Ormoncleth gives her a bonus reward in the form of a small indestructible bell containing the dog's memories.

Quality vs. Quantity: At level 67 with just one skeleton, Sofia internally laments that a proper necromancer would have dozens by now. Until she discovers that her one skeleton can receive a hero blessing that lets him grow far stronger than a skeleton ought to be. In fact, his skeletal nature lets him grow beyond even a normal hero, eg he can be transferred into stronger bones from other species. Instead of an army, Pareth proves to be a One-Man Army.
