Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Dead

There were many thoughts going on in Sylas' mind, but ultimately, he knew many of these things weren't under his control. Even so, as he brought out the corpse of the gnoll elite, his mind was fluttering with a thought.",

'Genes seem to be the foundation of everything… if this system ends up being a shackle, then I will just need to figure out a way to collect them and use them without the system as a bridge.'

'Maximillion and Jared both had far more Genes than the gnolls… I wonder why that is…'

Though Sylas wondered, he didn't dare to ask the Madness Key. The gnolls were spawns of the system. Who knew if he would touch on another taboo?

The spike was already far worse than he expected. After another seven days, he would be spending all his time hunting to feed the thing instead of improving himself.

Then again, with all these Gene and Stat Limits… at least he was making use of all those excess Genes somehow.

[+30 coins (F)]

This time, there was no bone ax, so Sylas moved on. He ignored the normal gnolls because with the new insatiable requirements of the Madness Key, he would definitely be needing them. Plus, the stats they provided—Strength and Constitution—the Gene Crystal didn't need anymore.
