2026-02-20 03:21:09 +0000 UTCI just realized this would be an absolutely hilarious moment for Jake to dig in his inventory, pull out one of SS's fan art paintings from Nevermore, and go "Look here. In the multiverse the undead and living find a way together ❤." Sorry, Casper & Jacob. We're trying to pursue world peace 🤭🤭🤭
Josie
2026-02-20 03:12:05 +0000 UTCThe logical course of action is to momentarily put aside the animosity and each race to send a representative of roughly equal power and prestige with Jake to attempt the boundary crossing

2026-02-20 02:18:06 +0000 UTCOh man, that bigass sea snake is 1000% going to show up and threaten to smack down some fools a little bit after Jake scratches the back of his head and apologizes for all the trouble he’s caused, AGAIN. 😂😂

2026-02-19 21:38:27 +0000 UTCThank Villy they have no idea what Bloodlines are or that he has one. I could definitely see a fool trying to enslave him for some new creations.. or babies. And Villy would lose his shit again bc he can't go Desolation of Snake on them
Josie
2026-02-19 21:32:53 +0000 UTCOr his evolution was to die and become records... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Matthew Monroe
2026-02-19 21:15:34 +0000 UTCSo random thought...maybe the 1st sage did need to die as he was stuck in C grade. If Jake has a harder time leveling bc of his boons...the 1st sage with his 99 transcendent skills but godhood ain't 1, wouldn't be able to gather enough worthwhile records during the 1st Era to evolve/level up. So die and passing his records off to let them propagate and grow through time is how he will be able to evolve/level up maybe?...

Kaladin
2026-02-19 20:20:52 +0000 UTCok...your bringing very strong b grades into your universe. how do you explain the rules? Just don't kill anybody or destroy anything without checking with me. shaman is refused entrance into a community. frog says, "please give me a minute to check with jake thane and see if I should destroy your city for this insult." "ohh...you know the chosen. come on in. are u one of his creations?"

Episode 19
2026-02-19 19:50:05 +0000 UTCSo he will bring the archweaver and the shaman out of the boundary because it'll be limited to B grades?
Kaladin
2026-02-19 19:28:39 +0000 UTCI was definitely expecting something like: Jake: “Hey, what’s that over there.” *unseen hunter activates*
Nerd search
2026-02-19 19:21:44 +0000 UTCSo A grade is from lvl 500 to 749, and S grade from 750 to 999, right? (if 735 is almost peak A grade)

2026-02-19 17:16:13 +0000 UTCVilly said that in this chapter that once one of the beings leave that the border will drop.
Lemonsqueezy
2026-02-19 17:10:48 +0000 UTCIt is like being really friendly to a relative so you can be in their will.
Lemonsqueezy
2026-02-19 17:05:25 +0000 UTCVilly has a skill/power that allows makes it where once Villy knows something it can never be forgotten. Not even the System or Eversmile can make him forget something. With this knowledge I believe it is safe to assume that Villy likes to just know things. I also disagree with Villy not being a social butterfly. He seems to love to talk and get to know people, he also likes to prank, tease, and make fun of people. What better way to mess with someone than to get to know them. He has also never shown any ill will towards any faction, people or belief system. The other fact about Villy is he is known to lie, cheat, and use people to get what he wants.
Lemonsqueezy
2026-02-19 16:52:13 +0000 UTCI think zog spelled it out in the ama the other day.
brjenness
2026-02-19 16:14:19 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say I think this is the first time we've ever seen a level number from an A or S grade. I've been assuming the breaking points were 350, 500, 750, 1000 (godhood). Sounds like maybe that's it.
Jason
2026-02-19 16:05:24 +0000 UTCI doubt they can leave the boundary until the universe is either fully integrated or capable of supporting so many A grades. System fuckery will generally keep things balanced for the home team.
Quantainium C
2026-02-19 16:05:19 +0000 UTCWell then what's the alternative? All out war? If that will happen regardless, why not try?
Ra
2026-02-19 15:48:32 +0000 UTC"people tend to be a lot more interesting to explore than mere places" See, if this were someone else I'd hear a social butterfly telling us he likes to gab and learn about people but the Malefic Viper finds the mass majority of people beneath him and I'm pretty sure he's just saying he'd rather lounge around burping up the Records of his latest meal 😅
Josie
2026-02-19 15:29:43 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter!
Arieh Sochaczevski
2026-02-19 15:27:39 +0000 UTCThe Venusians still assume there is only one universe outside with S-grade records and beyond so when they learn it's just the early B-grade 93rd universe beyond their burning desire to leave asap will fade
Kireina
2026-02-19 15:22:31 +0000 UTCI don't think he is too scared. It feels like he likes and dislikes both sides about the same. Both sides hate eachother for what they are. Jake doesn't hate anything in the multiverse like that save a few. To me he's just kind of there.

2026-02-19 14:53:55 +0000 UTCjake leads the small group through the boundary. he loses contact with villy. senses he's not in the milky way. a human and a draugr appear before him wielding axes and offer to teach him how to sit in caves pondering the beauty of the universe and how to use it to blow shit up. or a guy that invites him to go fishing. or a scary rooster. or a spearman with green hair. or a. bunny that offers to teach him how to cook. or a dude with a broom or a guy and his golem. villy senses jake gone but he returns seconds later with weird new powers.

2026-02-19 14:48:33 +0000 UTCThat would be fantastic. I imagine Miranda, exasperate as always, trying to figure out how Jake got a bunch of A grades to help him out.
Lazy Dragon
2026-02-19 14:41:53 +0000 UTCWell it actually is because of the mental manipulation they got a good amount of information from it
doctordirt
2026-02-19 14:39:06 +0000 UTC"An attack will risk harming the one from beyond the boundary." -- That line or something very similar, must've been said 10x from each side this chapter. LOL
RonGAR
2026-02-19 14:36:57 +0000 UTCIt's funny Jake is all nervous being surrounded by people who could destroy him without any chance to stop them. When that is literally the default state for 99%+ of the population of the multiverse at any given time. He's been less nervous when surrounded by literal scores of Gods because he knew they had to play nice due to politics. Interesting to see him experience what most people go through all the time.

2026-02-19 14:27:03 +0000 UTCWe know that Jake can give out blessings kinda willy nilly based on giving one to Scarlet back when they first met and she was a higher grade than him
SirbBrownFluffles
2026-02-19 14:23:52 +0000 UTCI like that the Venusians assume Jake told all that stuff to the nestmother because of the mental manipulation skill, but mostly it was just Jake spilling the beans because he wanted to. Lol! I love the misunderstandings that people run with in this series, it’s always so fun!

2026-02-19 13:47:38 +0000 UTCThat works absolutely, but you can just think that 1 meter is roughly a yard or around 3 feet. It's at least close enough that I can picture sizes when things are in feet and socks 😁
Emil Sørhus
2026-02-19 13:37:51 +0000 UTCcan Jake just beam Villy's blessings to anyone basically? Even A grades?
Michael
2026-02-19 13:29:32 +0000 UTCI feel like it's definitely gonna end with Jake bringing representatives around his level from atleast the frogs, snakes, and spiders to the system event

2026-02-19 12:57:00 +0000 UTCAs an American I don’t use the metric system much. Our preferred unit of measurement is bald eagles or incoherent ramblings per presidential speech (I admit that it’s not a perfect system but hey— at least it’s also corrupt!). But I do know that I’m just under 2 meters in height. So when you say the Battle Toad had a four meter cleaver I just picture me grabbing on to another me while being swung by a bigger me 😂😂 #murca

Rewdan
2026-02-19 11:05:11 +0000 UTCJake has really been flexing his diplomacy skills during this arc, it’s fantastic. Mentioning Villy and subtly threatening them with this higher being backing him, making plans to teleport factions forcing his hand directly into the Order (plan falling through or not, it’s still a good plan if it were viable), keeping his cool under the Arachnecs, and now entering negotiations with both factions. Well done, Jake!

Matthias
2026-02-19 10:19:42 +0000 UTCTFTC :) Suggested edits: “But *that’s* the plan now?” should be "what's" " unleashed should it *be* necessary. *And* if it did, even if the" should be "become" to make the next sentence make sense grammatically. Also sentences shouldnt start with "and" so ditch that. "the *prisoner dead* and a *slaughter ensuing*, crushed beneath the overwhelming" feels like you should switch the slaughter and the prisoner parts because the end of the sentence refers to the prisoner not the slaughter. "A-grades discuss something *in* far above the Nest," extra word or you are missing "the air".
Xander
2026-02-19 10:18:23 +0000 UTCI definitely think Jake is going to end up taking a B grade from the venusians and the arachnic and and probably the sea serpent with him and do some introductions he'll probably introduce the spiders to Casper or someone from the blightfathers group and take the other two to the order
Rob Lyon
2026-02-19 10:17:48 +0000 UTCI have a feeling that this is right I don't think the A grades can leave the boundary yet because they are too strong so I do think Jake will eventually end up taking a B grade from the venusians and a B grade from the arachnic and probably a B grade Tide to the sea serpent with him or he'll take the a grades out of the boundary and then instantly bounce them to the order
Rob Lyon
2026-02-19 10:15:30 +0000 UTCI definitely expect to see the sea serpent show up and to tell both other groups to fuck off because Jake is a snake
Rob Lyon
2026-02-19 10:13:24 +0000 UTCThanks for the chapter
BlackRazaras
2026-02-19 10:12:57 +0000 UTCI don't really think they did it maliciously I think it's just part of her path so I don't think Jake will have a negative reaction to it

Daniel Byrkit
2026-02-19 10:12:06 +0000 UTCThinking more about it, im not sure how friendly jake would actually want to be with the undead spiders I started off kind of liking them, but trying to manipulate jakes mentality/actions on their first meeting is kind of taboo I dont really blame them, theyve been doing this for a long time But still, messing with jake is one of those things most people usually only get 1 chance on
Seen Death
2026-02-19 10:10:22 +0000 UTCOk, here is my prediction: Jake goes up, it goes back and forth ending in a stalemate until a 3rd party, a certain A-Grade Seasnake, arrives. It recognizes Jake as the best buddy of the origin of all that is sassy snake and gets a nice little blessing for its efforts to help.

John Durrett
2026-02-19 10:01:23 +0000 UTCtyftc. Correction maybe “But that’s the plan now?”, Is this meant to be "But whats the plan now?" The first one doesn't make sense to me @Zog
John Durrett
2026-02-19 10:00:05 +0000 UTCMy theory is the the same rules that limit the rest of the multiverse from invading the 93 also apply to the minor world. Meaning only early B-grades can leave the minor world and as universe opens eventually they all will be free to go as they want.
