Chapter Summaries

Odin and Ponzu cleared the ruins and recovered the Wandering Soul Pillow card. They then headed toward the Dingdang card’s coordinates, where they discovered bandits hiding ahead.

• Ponzu’s dragonflies and bees defeated the Gargoyles and ghostly monsters in the ruins while Odin guided her.
• Odin found the Wandering Soul Pillow inside a stone coffin and took its card, which warned that a soul away from its body for over twenty-four hours would become a ghost.
• Odin and Ponzu left the ruins, ate lunch, and flew toward the Dingdang card’s coordinates.
• Ponzu’s bees spotted more than a dozen bandits hiding behind a hill, and Odin identified them as monsters in the game.

Odin and Ponzu obtained the Dingdang card by paying the bandits ten million, then returned to Masadora and summoned Dingdang. Odin explored its seemingly bottomless storage pouch but found that none of his available energy could support its storage property.

• Ponzu's Glassy Giant-vein Dragonfly and bees defeated the bandits, while Odin knocked out their one-eyed leader, but they found no Dingdang card among the bandit cards.
• Odin and Ponzu left the area, then returned and learned from the respawned one-eyed man that the bandits sold Dingdang for ten million.
• Odin paid the one-eyed man and received the Dingdang card, and he and Ponzu flew back to Masadora.
• Odin used GAIN to summon Dingdang and tested its pouch by storing the room's belongings inside.
• Odin studied Dingdang's storage space and discovered that none of his current energy could support its property.

Odin tested the Wandering Soul Pillow and discovered it let his soul leave his sleeping body. After finding that his usual energies did not work in soul form, he learned to mimic Reishi and Reiatsu, then prepared to test whether he could convert that energy into another power.

• Odin failed to merge the storage property with several energy systems, though he expanded a cloth bag's space by ten percent using Nen.
• Odin activated the Wandering Soul Pillow, fell asleep, and found himself floating outside his body.
• Odin explored the inn and street as a soul, discovering that he could pass through walls and people but could not use Nen, Haki, or ki.
• Odin considered Yin Power but set it aside because he still wanted to remain human, then focused on mimicking Reishi and Reiatsu.
• Odin infused his body with Reiatsu, used the pillow to leave his body again, and attempted to convert Reiatsu into another energy.

Odin strengthened his soul by absorbing spirit particles and Reiatsu, discovering that he could leave his body and use Reiatsu and pre-converted ki as a soul. He later demonstrated his new soul-separation technique and several Hado spells to Ponzu, ending as he prepared to show her another attack.

• Odin found that his strengthened soul improved his senses and physical power, and that he could use ki in soul form if he converted it before leaving his body.
• Odin learned that he could not use Nen or Observation Haki in soul form, then told Ponzu that his experiments had taken three hours.
• Over the following days, Odin studied Reiatsu while Ponzu grew friendly with Dingdang.
• On September 25, Odin took Ponzu to a rocky desert and left his body without the Wandering Soul Pillow by using Reiatsu.
• Odin demonstrated Hado #1: Sho, Hado #4: Byakurai, Hado #11: Tsuzuri Raiden, and Destructive Art 31: Red Fire Cannon, then aimed at the rocks to show another attack.

Odin tested several spiritual-pressure techniques with Ponzu, then chose Aiai as their next destination to obtain a Muscle Enhancer and study its effects. They flew to the city and entered, finding it filled with couples.

• Odin used Red Fire Cannon and Blue Firefall on rocks, but found both less destructive than his aura blasts.
• Odin tried Binding Art 4 on Ponzu, but she broke free and dismissed the rope as ineffective.
• Odin and Ponzu met Biscuit, Gon, and Killua, who soon left to resume training.
• Odin consulted a map and decided to travel to Aiai for a Muscle Enhancer, prompting Ponzu to pack eagerly.
• Odin flew with Ponzu to Aiai, where they entered the pink-roofed city and saw couples throughout its streets.

Ponzu and Odin explored Aiai City, where scripted romantic encounters annoyed Ponzu, then visited the Mad Doctor and received three quests for the Muscle Enhancer. Odin quickly gathered ten Sapphire Dragon tears by making the dragons cry and flew with Ponzu to the northern cave to search for glowing mushrooms.

• Ponzu watched a player guide a girl to an inn, then rescued another girl who immediately became trapped in the same scripted alley encounter again.
• Ponzu and Odin explored Aiai City's couple-themed shops before meeting the Mad Doctor, who gave them three quests: collect ten Sapphire Dragon tears, find glowing mushrooms, and find five-leaf grass.
• Odin used his Nen-Observation Haki to locate all three quest items and took Ponzu southeast to a valley with Sapphire Dragons.
• Odin created a bright ball of aura that frightened the dragons into shedding tears, and Ponzu's bees collected ten crystals that turned into cards.
• Odin and Ponzu flew north to a cave at the foot of a rocky mountain to search for glowing mushrooms.

Odin and Ponzu gathered the quest items and claimed the Mad Doctor's Muscle Enhancer. Back in Masadora, they began the seven-day potion course, and Odin discovered that its effects relied on Enhancement Nen, a poor fit for his abilities.

• Odin used his perception to collect nine glowing mushrooms while Ponzu's bees helped her find ten perfect five-leaf clovers.
• Odin and Ponzu returned the quest items to the Mad Doctor, who gave Odin the Muscle Enhancer card.
• Odin used GAIN to produce seven boxes of potion, and he and Ponzu each drank a bottle.
• Odin examined the potion with Nen and realized it carried medicinal potency into muscle cells through Enhancement, a technique that would be inefficient for him.

Odin trained his soul and tested a potion that strengthened his and Ponzu’s muscles, then explored a new way to use Projection by combining Magnetic Force with ki sensing. He used Instant Movement to reach Haiyue Bay and began identifying an aura signature as his target.

• Odin converted Reiatsu to strengthen his soul while Ponzu trained, and they kept up their routine for six days.
• After seven days of using the potion, Odin and Ponzu found their muscles had grown stronger, and Odin proposed continuing to use it.
• Odin used Drift cards to unlock every location on the island, then returned to Ponzu with Magnetic Force.
• Odin realized Magnetic Force’s Projection could target recorded aura signatures, and ki sensing could help him use it over great distances.
• Odin used Instant Movement to reach Haiyue Bay, while Ponzu was surprised to see him use the ability.
• At Haiyue Bay, Odin began identifying the aura signature he wanted to target with Projection.

Odin used Projection · Magnetism and the Rabbit Talisman to take Ponzu to Haiyue Bay, where he found the Wish-Granting Demon Card. After they planned a thousand wishes and summoned the Wish-Granting Demon, he revealed that he would grant only three.

• Odin used the Rabbit Talisman to reach Ponzu quickly, then flew with her to Haiyue Bay and promised he could take her to her parents once he recorded their auras.
• Odin used his Observation Haki to locate the buried Wish Bottle, and the bottle became the Wish-Granting Demon Card when he picked it up.
• Odin and Ponzu returned to Masadora and discussed a thousand possible wishes, writing them down together.
• Odin used GAIN to restore the Wish Bottle, summoned the Wish-Granting Demon, and handed him their wish list.
• The Wish-Granting Demon read the list and said he would grant three wishes.

After the Wish-Granting Demon granted three modest wishes, Odin and Ponzu examined the Storage Bag, Chameleon Cat, and Complete Card Nen Script Guide. Odin then imitated the demon’s Nen and discovered he could use it to make wishes, ending by commanding it to remove Ponzu’s hat.

• The Wish-Granting Demon granted Odin a Storage Bag, a Chameleon Cat, and the Complete Card Nen Script Guide before vanishing.
• Odin concluded the demon had chosen wishes that were relatively easy to grant without greatly affecting the world, and he gave the Storage Bag to Ponzu.
• Ponzu used honey to coax the Chameleon Cat into transforming into a Giant Mayfly, then asked how she could take it out of Greed Island.
• Odin gained the Complete Card Nen Script Guide and realized it contained Nen Script designs for every card, the Spell Book, and the ring.
• Odin imitated the Wish-Granting Demon’s Nen, made a pebble rise into the air, and commanded the Nen to take off Ponzu’s hat.

Odin discovered that a miniature Dragon shaped from his ki could grant wishes, then used it to obtain cards and began planning a broad card-collecting effort. Ponzu tested the Chameleon Cat while Odin prepared to study the cards without clearing the game.

• Odin found that his wish-granting ki worked when shaped into a miniature Dragon, which made Ponzu's hat float off her head.
• Odin wished for a Witch's Rejuvenation Potion card and realized the Dragon had taken it from another player's Spell Book.
• Odin wished for Tree of Plenty and Pool of Sighs cards, and the Dragon spoke while granting them.
• Ponzu practiced with the Chameleon Cat, testing its insect transformations and struggling to use her insect-focused Nen Ability with it.
• Odin concluded that the Dragon could grant unlimited wishes as long as he had enough ki, then listed S-, A-, and B-rank cards to collect.
• Odin told Ponzu that he wanted the cards to study their Nen properties, not to clear the game.

Odin used the divine dragon to obtain dozens of specified-slot cards, then studied the nen script structures inside them. The next morning, three players discovered that their cards were missing, and Ponzu suspected Odin was responsible.

• Odin summoned a divine dragon and wished for cards including Hormone Cookie, Breath of Archangel, Fairy King's Advice, Chameleon Cat, and One-Acre Forest.
• Odin continued making wishes until moonrise while Ponzu played with the chinchillas and watched him collect cards.
• Odin studied the Breath of Archangel card, copied its nen script layers, and compared them with the Complete Card Nen Script Guide.
• Odin examined another card and found that its outer nen script layers matched the Breath of Archangel card's, while its inner layers differed.
• The next morning, Ponzu and Odin saw three players outside a shop discover that their Spell Books had lost their cards, and Ponzu began to suspect Odin.

Players in Greed Island discovered that high-rank cards had mysteriously vanished, and the clearing team struggled to explain how even its Breath of Archangel had been taken. Odin and Ponzu continued training, while Odin noticed that his latent aura capacity was falling behind his growing visible aura capacity.

• Odin and Ponzu heard players in Masadora complain that their cards had disappeared overnight, and Odin explained that the unexplained losses had caused their panic.
• Kenneth told the clearing team that forty-seven A-rank-or-higher cards had vanished from twenty-seven players, with no intruders or Spell Book records of theft.
• Kenneth revealed that the missing cards included the clearing team's Breath of Archangel, and the spiky-haired leader urged the team to discover how the cards had disappeared.
• Ponzu fed her five Chameleon Cats and two dragonflies while Odin trained his soul by converting Reiatsu.
• Odin found that his soul training had expanded his aura capacity and perception ranges, but his latent aura capacity was struggling to keep pace with his visible aura capacity.

Odin realized that accumulating too many simulated energies was hindering his growth, so he decided to focus on Nen and Dragon Ball ki while searching for a suitable energy to replace Nen. Meanwhile, Ponzu trained her chinchillas to change forms and fly in formations, hoping to turn them into versatile insects.

• Odin resumed Ren training after recognizing that his latent aura capacity was growing too slowly, but the long sessions left him exhausted.
• Odin concluded that his collection of simulated energies was weighing down his progress and decided to prioritize Nen and Dragon Ball ki while setting aside Reiatsu and Haki.
• Odin explained to Ponzu that creating cards would require mastery of Nen scripts and all Nen types, and that simulated energies could not replace Nen in the cards.
• Ponzu trained five chinchillas to fly in formations and change into bee, dragonfly, and beetle forms.
• Ponzu decided that giving the chinchillas insect traits would be the easiest way to gain better control over them, while Odin returned to studying his guide.

Razor and Elena noticed that Odin was collecting high-ranked Greed Island cards at an impossible rate, but chose to observe him after learning Ging was interested. While training with Ponzu for seven days, Odin decoded the cards’ Nen Script and strengthened his soul, but still needed to find a higher-potential energy source to replace Nen.

• Razor reviewed Odin’s card records and contacted Elena, who said they should observe him because he was not damaging the game.
• Elena told Razor that Ging had been notified and was interested in Odin, so Razor decided not to seek him out.
• Odin and Ponzu traveled from Masadora to the rocky mountains, where Ponzu trained her chameleon chinchillas and Odin practiced soul training and studied Nen Script.
• Over seven days, Ponzu steadily improved while Odin increased his stats, strengthened his soul, and deciphered the meanings of the smaller Nen Script structures.
• Odin learned to create temporary blank storage cards, but concluded that he needed to study the Spell Book’s card slots and find a higher-potential energy source to replace Nen.

Odin devised a way to create an energy-storage system inside his body using Nen scripts inscribed on his bones. Over three days, he built the storage structure, connecting channels, and sealing layer, though the system’s completion and effectiveness remained untested.

• Odin realized that Nen scripts might let him create an internal space to store energy and decided to inscribe them on his bones.
• Ponzu noticed Odin deep in thought, returned her dragonflies to their chinchilla forms, and watched quietly as he studied his notes.
• Odin used qi to inscribe the first part of a storage structure onto his pelvis, enduring intense pain before healing himself with Nen.
• On the first day, Odin completed the storage structure’s core layer, forming the beginnings of a spherical space.
• On the second day, Odin inscribed delicate guiding channels across his bones, connecting his dantian to his limbs.
• On the third day, Odin added the sealing structure to prevent stored Nen from dissipating, while Ponzu continued practicing nearby.

Odin completed his Nen Script dantian and began cultivating true qi, discovering that he could produce it far faster by converting Nen than by refining it naturally. He continued filling his vast dantian beneath the rocky mountains while Ponzu watched his aura grow more powerful.

• Odin finished engraving the Nen Script dantian and confirmed that the structure had succeeded.
• Odin wished for true qi from the Dragon Qi Blast, studied its composition, and learned to create it by combining internal energy with the world's primordial energy.
• Odin refined only half a strand of true qi in half a day, then used Nen to simulate true qi and filled his dantian with about four hundred strands overnight.
• Odin realized his oversized dantian would take a long time to fill and considered using true essence as a catalyst to complete foundation establishment.
• Odin converted his Nen into true qi beneath a large rock, rapidly adding hundreds of strands as Ponzu watched his aura grow stronger.

Odin spent a month cultivating True Qi until he had sixty years’ worth, then used True Essence to liquefy it and reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. His body grew stronger, his latent aura capacity increased several times, and he returned to Masadora with Ponzu to wash up.

• Odin continued pouring Nen into his Nen Script Dantian, accumulating nearly twelve hundred strands of True Qi and realizing they represented three years of cultivation.
• Odin and Ponzu repeatedly traveled between Masadora and the Rock Mountain region, where Odin cultivated until he had sixty years’ worth of True Qi.
• Odin wished for a mass of True Essence and used it to draw his True Qi together until it liquefied into a soybean-sized drop.
• Odin’s muscles, bones, skin, and internal organs changed as impurities seeped from his body, leaving him stronger and with several times his former latent aura capacity.
• Odin declared that he had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he and Ponzu flew back to their inn in Masadora.

Odin cultivated through the night after discovering that Foundation Establishment let him convert Nen into true essence at an extraordinary rate, gaining nine hundred years of cultivation in a single drop. In the morning, he and Ponzu returned to Rock Mountain, where Odin continued cultivating and Ponzu began training the Chinchillas in precision flying.

• Ponzu and Odin went to bed after Odin said he would return to Rock Mountain to stabilize his newly liquefied true qi.
• Odin woke after an hour and cultivated, realizing that increased lifespan raised his latent aura capacity and allowed him to convert more Nen into true essence.
• Odin cultivated through the night, accumulating nine hundred years of cultivation in his single drop of true essence.
• Odin and Ponzu ate breakfast and went to Rock Mountain, where Odin immediately resumed cultivating.
• Ponzu took out the Chinchillas and began training them to make precise turns and hover steadily as dragonflies.

Odin cultivated True Essence and Reiatsu while Ponzu trained her chinchillas, then discovered three talismans fused inside his soul. He could not activate the newly sensed talismans and remained uncertain how they had appeared.

• Odin cultivated until three drops of liquid True Essence formed, but found his visible aura capacity limited his conversion speed.
• Ponzu improved her control of the dragonflies, and Odin told her to focus on Ren training the next day.
• Odin resumed soul cultivation at night and sensed the Rabbit Talisman glowing inside his soul.
• Odin discovered two dim talismans beside the Rabbit Talisman, suspecting one was the Tiger Talisman.
• Odin tried to draw on the Tiger Talisman's energy, but nothing happened.
