2026-03-13 18:17:42 +0000 UTCThe best part is Jake has no idea this is the impression he is leaving behind.

2026-03-12 13:25:52 +0000 UTCI 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

2026-03-04 04:18:51 +0000 UTCI 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.

2026-02-27 17:39:30 +0000 UTCIs... 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.

2026-02-06 10:13:13 +0000 UTCSo 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
2026-02-06 08:23:07 +0000 UTCThat 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
2026-02-06 06:06:05 +0000 UTC[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’”

2026-02-05 21:16:17 +0000 UTCLol, 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.

2026-02-05 20:54:48 +0000 UTCwhen 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...

2026-02-05 20:08:43 +0000 UTCI 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

2026-02-05 20:05:55 +0000 UTChey Casper, I've got a gift for you. gives him a beach ball with enough death energy for a continent.

2026-02-05 19:56:07 +0000 UTCTwo week time skip chapter next where Jake teaches the most basic possible alchemy and the frogs shit themselves. 🤞🏼
Brian H
2026-02-05 19:22:19 +0000 UTCOh 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
2026-02-05 19:21:26 +0000 UTCHey, 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
2026-02-05 19:20:19 +0000 UTCLoving this little arc lol
DirePants
2026-02-05 19:17:00 +0000 UTCPotion 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. 😁

2026-02-05 19:14:17 +0000 UTCGonna be a lot of chapters in B- grade...

Tomer Yud
2026-02-05 18:34:26 +0000 UTCafter 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
2026-02-05 18:07:10 +0000 UTCLol 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
2026-02-05 17:26:16 +0000 UTCI 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
2026-02-05 17:18:26 +0000 UTCI am wracking my brain but cannot remember anything about a paper note during the Tutorial. Can you remind me?
DiscoDame
2026-02-05 17:13:34 +0000 UTCIt 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
2026-02-05 17:11:08 +0000 UTCI’m pretty sure Zogarth already implied during a previous chapter that there was no time shenanigans happening
mapts
2026-02-05 16:59:34 +0000 UTCThanks Zogarth, an absolute banger of a chapter. The mask had me in stitches
Rewdan
2026-02-05 16:37:58 +0000 UTCI 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
2026-02-05 16:36:00 +0000 UTCI 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
2026-02-05 16:32:28 +0000 UTCYep Jake is not a typical representation of humans 🤦
Rewdan
2026-02-05 16:21:22 +0000 UTCThey’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 ;)

Carl Never
2026-02-05 15:06:11 +0000 UTCI 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
2026-02-05 15:02:56 +0000 UTCI 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?

wartgalore
2026-02-05 14:31:59 +0000 UTCTFTC! 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
2026-02-05 14:30:28 +0000 UTCAlso, what if he Jake juices a tadpole?
Matt Greenstein
2026-02-05 14:29:45 +0000 UTCNot 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
2026-02-05 14:28:18 +0000 UTCThis 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.

2026-02-05 13:50:03 +0000 UTCeh, 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

brjenness
2026-02-05 12:26:34 +0000 UTCIt'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
2026-02-05 12:24:23 +0000 UTCI 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.

Jared Bell
2026-02-05 11:51:19 +0000 UTCI 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
2026-02-05 11:51:08 +0000 UTCTtfc! 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
2026-02-05 11:42:28 +0000 UTCOne 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...

2026-02-05 11:17:52 +0000 UTCThis 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
2026-02-05 11:17:21 +0000 UTCO 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
2026-02-05 11:16:27 +0000 UTCMeanwhile 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

Ben Cox
2026-02-05 10:04:17 +0000 UTCTFTC :) 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.
