Chapter 1299 - Death of the Deathstalkers

Comments

TYFTC!

Rachel Clements

The best part is Jake has no idea this is the impression he is leaving behind.

Darshar Griffonmane

I like the fact that the aliens all think humans have a blank face with only eye holes and some type of mouth that can’t be seen

Daniel Hamilton

Tyftc

Chloe

He has so many potions lol

Posiden 300

I think it's because the concepts it's built from are extremely high level (as mentioned by Villy that iirc, it's a super high-tier skill that the system has reduced to something a C-tier could use). Jake is using the skill and has started on the path of understanding the concepts it uses, but for similar tier beings their minds can't understand what's going on because the concepts are too abstract and complex.

Sachieiel

Is... is Event Horizon hidden knowledge? Like, not the words, but the effects. Outside perspectives seem to always note a discontinuity or slight amnesia when it's used.

So over this arc already. It is so far from lore accurate it completely breaks the immersion. The oracle is not even wearing fishnet stockings and pushing all their belongings around in a shopping cart. I mean, come on Mr author man, at least make an effort.

brjenness

That IS a bad prediction! Lol! 😆 Jake’s a bit of a simple minded guy, sometimes a bit clueless and fine with being that way. I like his flaws. But a sage he ain’t. lol! 😆

ABTelford

[Bad Predictions] Jake is going to teach the frogs alchemy and villy will look forward to the influx of record from the beastfolk learning his legacy skills due to Jake’s Chosen teaching skill….. but then the first Venusian to get a skill selection will surprise him with saying “I just picked up ‘Sagacity of the Primal Hunter’”

Tavis Andrews

For sure gonna join the order aye 😁👍🏼 Tftc 🍻

JW Saxby

Turns out the Venusians have a natural talent for alchemy!

Takoda Heitz

Jake’s gotta upgrade his bargain skill to Sacred first so that he can get something decent from it lol

Takoda Heitz

Foreshadowing in the comments again?

Takoda Heitz

Good one!!

Jason Donovan

Jake forgot he wears a mask

Siethrobo

How could anyone complain about this arc and frogs soon to be part of the order smh these chapters are sooo good! Thanks Zog!

Santiago alonzo

I can already feel it tomorrow's chapter is going to be one hell of a cliffhanger

Rob Lyon

Lol, did Jake forget to make his mask invisible again? In other news, I feel like it's going to be fun teaching these frogs alchemy.

Ra

when Jake goes to the order, villy should give him something ridiculously valuable that jake can bargain to villy who can give it back to jake...

brjenness

Accidental colonialism

Rob Lyon

Tftc Zog!

ZanSanCho

He would start running into diminished returns if he kept making true royals not to mention he would start a war

Rob Lyon

NicN

I know it won't happen (and probs can't), but since Venus isn't actually in the 93rd universe it'd be so much fun if Jake threw down a teleport formation to let Villy come over and pretend to be a B grade too

Josie

hey Casper, I've got a gift for you. gives him a beach ball with enough death energy for a continent.

brjenness

Two week time skip chapter next where Jake teaches the most basic possible alchemy and the frogs shit themselves. 🤞🏼

Brian H

Oh yes the mask! Lol! I wonder if Billy will clue him in to take it off? 🤔. Nope! No way, he’ll find it hilarious! 😆

ABTelford

Hey, what if Jake tries to collect the undeath energy somehow? Either pitting it into a poison or just storing in an orb of stable arcane energy - then later giving it as a gift to Casper which will be some kind of awesome boon. Lol!

ABTelford

Loving this little arc lol

DirePants

Potion making = unrivaled pinnacle skill of awesomeness! Jake just accidentally blew their minds. Lol! I really hope he’s gonna teach alchemy to these froggies! Or at the very least have an Order of the Malefic Viper teacher come out to set up a chapter house. Accidentally recruit an entire planet. 😁

ABTelford

Gonna be a lot of chapters in B- grade...

Jamaal Hill

Oh this is fun lol, TYFTC!

tigerfishie

Thank you for the chapter

joel southard

Froakie bout to become Greninja

Aeth

I love the minor world arc!!!

Tomer Yud

after the prima event, Casper and his ghost king buddy lead an army to establish zombiespiderville, name required by jake for giving them access. key earthlings come along to see if there is anything of value for your factions. something goes wrong with caspers ritual to attack the nest. ghost king buddy and ice bear elemental step forward to hold off powerful A grade while everybody escapes. earthlings laugh at their noble gesture, "chill. this is kind of our thing." fight over in 15 minutes. spoiler: the prima event ends with a vote by surviving administrators. not looking good for jake. his friends are working on deals. jake gets pissed off by someone and announces, "vote for me and I won't hunt you down. you'll also get fair access to the wonder as determined by a council of administrators led by miranda." jake wins easily.

brjenness

Lol I had wondered whether or not Jake was wearing the mask. The amount of records Villy is getting right now… he is the only god who knows about and have seen this world AND his chosen is about to bring them in to the alchemist fold. They think the potion is a treasure… pfft, they don’t know how much they bout to gain from being the first in this minor world to connect with Jake! TFTC

CocoaBleu

I really like when characters diverge from the normal laid back speech that Jake and Villy sling around. They would never even think about a fight like "truly, this is an exhilarating and highly palpitating situation in which I find myself" 😌 The boys moreso think along the lines of "congrats to you for becoming my exercise" 😈

Josie

I am wracking my brain but cannot remember anything about a paper note during the Tutorial. Can you remind me?

DiscoDame

It has occurred to me that Jake now actually has incentive to rebuild the Endless Empire as much as possible by creating as many quasi-true royals as he can with his new primeval manipulation skills. Technically speaking it would be a great way to power level his profession and boost his performance in the upcoming event.

Takoda Heitz

I’m pretty sure Zogarth already implied during a previous chapter that there was no time shenanigans happening

mapts

Thanks Zogarth, an absolute banger of a chapter. The mask had me in stitches

Rewdan

I am curious about the time lapse in this world compared to his universe. I bet time is rapidly sped up and he spends years here training and growing before the event. If many thousands of years passed in the number of years since integration, this could be an amazing growth opportunity for Jake to power level then spend time focused on his Jake juice alchemy and gen he gets home, he could end up with a huge advantage

Bmax

I forgot about the mask. These frogs will be so shocked when they meet other humans😂 Using Jake as the standard will only lead to disappointment

Corey S

Yep Jake is not a typical representation of humans 🤦

Rewdan

They’ll be shocked when Miranda arrives with her diplomacy envoys. Shook to their core. And Miranda will sigh sooooo much. Typical Jake to forget he has a mask and chooses to keep scales the entire time. Perfect representation of the human race ;)

SinCinnamon

hahaha nice one!

Alexandre8901

Thanks for the chapter - this was fun! Love the bit about the mask; great world-building and callback there.

Brett Peterson

Behold! Frog Alchemist of the Malefic Viper! Malefic Venusian Amphibian

SinCinnamon

Okay, like CROAKFOLK is sick. Love it

C. Adkins

when someone is blessed do they gain knowledge of who the viper is? how would frogmen react to that knowledge.

brjenness

I so hope he turns the frogs into poison, potion brewing fans of the all might Villy.

Tyran

TYFTC

Leigh Micheletti

Oh man that would be freaking hilarious. "Oh? He's not human. He's basically my poke'mon." Queue disgruntled king indignation

Corvid

"How did you get such a treasure?" Jake proceeds to introduce AND destroy the concept of an economy to the croakfolk

Corvid

Reminds me of the paper note during the Tutorial, Jake casually uses something that immediately shifts the established power dynamic

Wesley Clark

Im sure our bird could beat up those baddies

Carl Never

I don't think so, since if they managed to leave the minor world, informations about humans would be widespread. I think he's on the way to accidentally gather quite a few powerful allies for earth and the milky way xD

KollegvomMirgan

I was kinda waiting for the DING! Since Jake is stupid OP and his Spirit of Man skill is also stupid OP. He's up to 12 total spider kills now I think?

Josie

Obviously the bagpipes…

Clint

I could see him bringing several out using the System event…

Clint

Definitely something zog would say.

brjenness

"Treasure? You mean, this old thing?" -Jake LOL Still concerned that he is giving too much info away.

RonGAR

“similar to the Ectognamorhps” —think it should be morphs at the end.

Brian Schutt

I'm still hoping for a frog chorus reference. Bom Bom Bom....

Daniel Francis

When a foreign entity arrives to an underdeveloped land, bringing with it a resource that will change the power balance of the whole area... yea, sounds about right for Jake.

Fylbrom

Omg the mask! It's like strawhat Luffy in Amazon lily all over again! Hilarious

wartgalore

TFTC! Haha, I can't wait for The King to be the first other person the venusians meet, and just assuming he's a human because of the mask. Imagine the offense that both he and Jake take from that, lol.

Colton Horton

Also, what if he Jake juices a tadpole?

Matt Greenstein

Not only is he going to teach them alchemy but they will benefit from spirit of man since they are his allies and comrades in arms. I could see Jake leaving for the prima event and returning to find the Venusians have basically conquered the minor world. Especially if there is some type of time dilation effect within the minor world.

Matt Greenstein

This minor world makes so much sense for the beginning of b-grade. Jake needs tons of b grade enemies to kill, tons of B-Grade (maybe even A-Grade) allies for the upcoming event, more experience with high quality toxic treasures and affinities. He’s doing all of that while casually just throwing in new enemy types we’ve never seen and skill interactions we’ve dreamt of. Love this book.

Takoda Heitz

Tyftc!

Ree!

Sylphie

and the means to make them

deus vault

Thanks for the chapter!

Arieh Sochaczevski

eh, likely what he will do is just give them some very basic info, and some books(if he has them) to expand on said info, he is bad at teaching in general, and add to that what his alchemy metodology is not exactly one easily replicable

zran

likely his actions there will convert all the venusians into being part of the malefic viper order surelly

Episode 19

They aren't enlightened, can they even have a profession?

The Uub

Jake is going to train a hidden world in alchemy.

Lynderyn

Dude is always smiling at people and thinking he’s being friendly but all they see is a blank mask and predatory eyes 🥲😂

Ithuriel

Jake is about NUKE the power balance if he supplies them with potions

Dan

Yeah, I can see Villy having a shit eating grin watching Jack having fun and all the minor errors he has made. Not that I don't think Jack is doing a bad job of being first contact but Miranda or whoever she sends is gonna have "fun" cleaning up Jake's mess.

khielira

Jake forgetting to remove his mask has me dying

Aritra Gupta

I hope Jake is somehow able to get the Frogs that are willing out of that world and to the Order.

Cory S.

I'm loving froggy friends. Now they get to learn the gift of alchemy. I wonder what kind of music they play. Perhaps a kind of banjo?

Robinn57

Tyftc I’m really loving this minor world. All of the details about assumptions based on one’s own experiences are really cool and sometimes funny.

Jeroen Turkstra

Looks like the Venusians will either get a crash course in Alchemy or Jake will have a wonderful business opportunity.

Sayjinlord

no better way to describe maleficity then used car sales man.

brjenness

It's going to be so funny when these frogs eventually meet other humans and they're surprised by all of the rest of them having faces. First they get some perception propaganda, now it's time to teach the frogs the wonders of alchemy.

djthomp

I think it falls into the baker vs the swordsman kind of weak. Stats are higher from levels but Jakes skills outclass the skills he's up against.

John Durrett

Used car salesmen of the malefic order, take note. This planet is perfect.

Jared Bell

I don't understand how Miranda would lose out. Raining toxic frogs would be a bioweapon deployment of insane proportions and creating and propogating a whole ecology if they're invading a hostile faction. All they need is to ribbit ribbit some smack talk and maybe racial slurs against mushrooms and Jake would be so happy. The levels she'd gain!

NovaZero

Ttfc! I really like this planet haha Perfect for Jake I can already imagine the cultural differences if/when they meet a different human Even their simple act of being a good host and offering "tea" ... would actually be giving their supposed guests a literal bowl of poison haha I bet the A grade Oracle's tea could be deadly to other A grades [This does make me wonder, although not very relevant seeing how theyre monsters and dont have professions- how different is cooking from alchemy? Would that "tea" actually be considered a "poison potion"? What makes the difference? It could literally just be system shenanigans and "depend on the intent of the creator" ... like: "no this is normal tea what do you mean?"] I must be a bit sleepy lol. Mentally going off on rants. Just made me think of what someone like Arnolds identify skill would look like? For all we know, that madman might see the chemical composition and just instantly understand what substance is] Nice to see the improvements after the evolution! He seems pretty adjusted so far to it Luckilly his test subjects are enemies... any complaints they could make can be put directly in the garbage

Seen Death

One point I find funny is how Jake continuously mention how the testing of his skills are kinda inconclusive because his foes were "weak". They were still over 30 levels above him...

Beemoss

Love this little Venusian adventure 👍

Dougie Mitchell

This series of events will lead to Jake FiNaLy thinking, "I wonder if I should get some people from the order here to teach alchemy and prepare the venusians to join the academy."

brjenness

O no he totally forgot about it and since he didn’t explain classes or professions they have no idea that anything he’s wearing is actually important well it would be his new race skill kind of makes everything but weapons redundant he should see if he can get anything that gives percentage multipliers instead of stats not sure if that’s a thing though his mask does it for mana regeneration

Bob Fight

Meanwhile in the near future, all the admin wannabes and admins received notification that they are now competing for second and third tier because someone has already taken control of the top position inside the wonder by obtaining the support of the wonders primary inhabitants,..the venusians

brjenness

Zogarth, you beautiful bastard. Have a great day!

My dream of the milky way becoming a training center to prepare people for admission to the various factions may be modified somewhat to include venus and opportunities for underperforming / weaker foundation people already in factions.

Poisons, toxins and teas aplenty, check. Bunch of villainous B grade monsters, check. Never heard of archery, check. Healing potions are never before seen grand treasures, check. Is this minor world tailor made for Jake or what? Villy's having the time of his life live commenting this one with Duskleaf.

Demi

Tftc

Fdrugc

Absolutely comical how jake being weird is affecting the venusians thoughts of his entire race, and also very interesting that this minor world doesn't seem to have much of a connection to alchemy or archery I get the distinct impression jake is going to get to put on his teaching hat. Tyftc

Ben Cox

TFTC :) Aww I thought the Ladies were gonna get an outpost here but if the frogs dont have alchemy then it looks like the order wins out :| Poor Miranda. Suggested edits: "*About seven times*, he’d already" This is an oddly specific phrasing "Multiple times, " seems more natural. Also maybe ditch the comma and the "already" they are unnecessary. " it was something the Shaman couldn’t quite comprehend *how it was even possible*." again odd phrasing, maybe "...as even possible." instead. "one-and-*one* kind of thing" should be "done" "but alas, all the ** Arachnecs had fled. " either theres a missing word "other" or you meant "were dead" at the end. "similar to the *Ectognamorhps*, though," misspelled "know their kin *has* fallen here" should be "have" since there were multiple.

Xander

it will be fun to read how they react when he tells them he can mass produce potions

Yes, thank you for the story and for today's chappy, Zogarth!

So first, diplomacy by combat. Next wow them with MagicScience! Also, over/under on Jake ever remembering that he has his mask on?

Villy is probably laughing his heart out at all the assumptions the Venusians are making about humans based on his dear chosen! I know I sure am!
