Chapter 1294 - Venusian Village

Comments

Tea! Time for tea. Maybe some Primal Origin energy into the Lake of tadpole eggs. That would win friends. Tyftc

Chloe

Interesting, Jake is in actual danger here, potentially. Not just because it's a closed off minor world, but simply for being in the 93rd universe. And not in a curated environment like a dungeon or a hunting ground or a event overseen by seniors etc. There has been much of that, since he's part of a top faction of the multiverse, but it's very nice to have some good old solo adventure as well. I reckon he has ways to teleport away or call for rescue still, but that's normal. It's good also that everything and everyone there is real, too, and not generated as a learning aid for the little kiddies. If he went on a slaughter, he'd be killing real people, real monsters, real mushrooms, etc.

I admit...not being a bunch of mushroom huts is disappointing...only for the fact it would irk/traumatize Jake and provide more joke material for villy

Tyftc Zog, get well

Episode 19

Hard to say. Yalsten had eons of backstory, but the indications were that it was created in our era. Whether that history is ā€œrealā€ or fake is sort of a philosophical question, but the System clearly doesn’t need to use something as crude as time dilation to get it done.

Clint

It is not a universe so it cant be integrated in such a way. Unsure if all minor worlds have laws that the rest share as well but Yalsten was sealed off into its own pocket world after being part of the multiverse beforehand. One must assume not all pocket worlds share the same backstory or link to the multiverse. Interesting possibility though, helping integrate a minor world would definitely have some sort of reward... maybe a title?

DefinitelyNotMinaga

With them saying it has been a few hundred thousand years, I’m thinking there is a massive time dilation here. Therefore Jake should hopefully get to spend a long time here working on himself and when he gets pulled out for the system event, he will be a lot more powerful

Corey S

Yep Villy was right when he mentioned not pissing off any A grades haha

Corey S

Tftc Zog!

ZanSanCho

I imagine ninja turtles without shells

Hornbach

Are these bipedal frogs? It's described as a walk to the center of the village but in my head, which may lack imagination, I see hoppers and Jake striding to keep up

Josie

Curious, if you get something special for introducing the system to a New World and helping them integrate

Daniel Hamilton

Thanks for the chapter!

True! Divine Bargain has never been upgraded.

Some new poison ā˜ ļø for Villy, be a nice present šŸŽ

Daniel Hamilton

Thanks for the chapter.

Joshua Little

Oh knowledgeable and slightly mad one, what is dotf?

Josie

I don't trust the frogs. they are up to something.

brjenness

if there are snakes, I assume they will recognize jake's aura.

brjenness

worse for me. I no longer have an excuse to be late to work. sorry, boss. zog dropped a big one.

brjenness

he's testing to see if he wants to switch to two chapters a day. I still say he should start a twitch channel for us to fight over what is going to happen as he types.

brjenness

lol...dotf is going on a month long break in February. zog obviously takes pleasure in torturing us, but for normal authors, I would think a lot might consider dropping the RR/patreon side after seven books or so. but then again, it keeps them writing some...who knows how rarely some authors would write if the weren't at least trying to post 3 times a week.

brjenness

and the frogs breed so quickly that they become a plague after jake unleashes them on the universes

brjenness

I’m Guessing the ocean is the exit to the minor world, and if it wasn’t for the system event he would be stuck for awhile.

Joshua Kitchen

What if the administrator and exalted prima was all about shepherding minor worlds and lost worlds into the 93rd universe. Like make the 93rd universe a collection point for lost peoples in the previous universes

D

Villy slayed a lot of A-grades in B-grade, but yeah he is outclassed. I have a feeling he will do event and come back later maybe after Nevermore.

Daniel

Not before A-grade, there may be an S-grade on Venus.

Daniel

Why do I think he’s going into the ocean to stop the disaster waves?

Tamathon

I realy hope the frogs don't end up turning hostile. That said, it would be super cool if Jake returns from this with a ā€œyo so I just added an entire minor world worth of unknown people to the Order, look at me such a good Chosen who totally meant to do that.ā€

Nathaniel France

Very cool expansion.

Jason Donovan

Thank you for the chapter

joel southard

I agree. give me an idea and my mind will fill in the rest. don't need every boring detail described. this chapter was fine

brjenness

Is there a head oracle at the ancestral village that’s even stronger?

beeve

I'm kind of hoping so. That would be fun a way to twist the mini-arc.

Numbzy

I want veneusaur

Rahsheem Reid

pretty sure this is the most description we've ever been given about a place. usually everything is so vaguely described it feels like "that location? it's there. and that guy? he uhh.. has eyes." I'm not complaining, as there's many authors who do the opposite and try to paint too much of a picture. this chapter felt like a nice balance between the two

Josie

I’m imagining the frogs from the Netflix anime Kulipari

That one, right there.

With this kind of cliffhanger I thought it was Friday šŸ˜‚ but im pleasantly surprised we still have 1 more chapter for the week.

James Hibbs-Kinsler

And finding out that it’s part taboo or part of their mating practices like with Scarlet.

DeAndrea H

Good thing he has his wings for a quick oh shit get me out of here šŸ˜‚

ThatGuy

Will Jake give out a blessing or ask Villy to bless an A grade?

Rewdan

For all we know time passes faster in this Minor World. 100 years in here, an hour outside

RedFaux

Mmm, I doubt blowing up this planet will go well. Always the next one to consider

Raymond Whitehead

Poor Jake, how is he going to handle this A Grade? He’s going to have to be on his absolute best behaviour?

Rewdan

He can project the Vipers aura. That would get the A grade to shiver.

Joken

Are you sure? Maybe I'm dumb, but I think that the first sage, told Jake, that he needed to bring Venus back into the real world .... Venus and Earth, joined.

Villy I’ve come to bargain

nathan

How does Jake always manage to get himself into interesting situations days before system events?

Sushi

Nice!

SinCinnamon

I can just imagine Jake asking if he can lick the back of some of these frogs.

VirtSecurity

An A grade. Woohoo! And Jake is on his own and has to act cautiously instead of being able to bluster his way through everything? Awesome! It’s been so long this’ll be great!

ABTelford

Tftc!

GeneticSloth

yup Jake is def going to that poison ocean and getting in over his head i can feel it

Drexnaw

Unless of course this IS a village for the scaling of frogs. Their scale of a metropolis gonna be scary

Josie

Looks like Jake needs to give Myriad Tongues skill a software update, it's not translating words correctly

Josie

IntenseSushi

I’m really looking forward to this exploration arc after this chapter. It will be interesting to see how Jake will handle this now that he can’t rely on his two mainstays of 1. combat prowess and 2. Chosen/Harbringer status. How exciting!

Vega

jake is someone who does not benefit much for having soneone teach him, besides, who can teach him anything regarding the unique side of his profesion?, if anything, he is on a position to teach others now as a B grader

zran

Aritra Gupta

Had a feeling, but wowsers lol. Not even 20 chapters into b grade and jakes gotta deal with a a grade, well not in a fighting sense but you know, disnt get to flex dominating b grade yet.

Eden

Descriptions of the frogs make them seem to be based on the Dart frog. Also I am curious if time flows differently on this world than outside it? Like time moves much faster there than outside of it which might explain how their world according to the shaman is 200,000+ years old. When Jake leaves it will be time for him to go to the exalted prima event or something else will happen and Jake is in a life or death situation when all of a sudden a prompt appears telling him it’s time to go and to accept a teleport out to the event.

Cory S.

My working theory is that the minor world just has a bonkers level of time dilation. Minor world created post system, but time just goes by insanely fast there compared to the outside world.

Corvid

tftc!

Alexandre8901

Tyftc Loving this arc so far. Curious how the A grade will handle Jake.

Jeroen Turkstra

I'm loving these frogs, they're just really neat. Natural C grades it seems, with plenty of strong ones past that. I wonder if the Ancestral Village has an S-grade?

djthomp

Makes me wonder if that ancestral village frogs originated in the Amazon. If they were full beasts then, they wouldn’t remember their origins…. Then with the time dilation, they got a head start, but as they are in the pocket dimension (perhaps a unintentional consequence of the system creating the world wonder) they didn’t do the prima event like the rest of the 93rd universe….. and maybe are considered a part of the world wonder….

Suzanne Pearson

So there’s a A grade just chilling in the system I am almost scared to ask if there’s anything going on with are sun is it suddenly a unique life form

Bob Fight

I'm guessing that time passes much faster inside of this world compared to outside, which is why the integration clearly did not happen recently here despite the fact that it surely did not have access to the System before the integration. This was also hinted at when Jake remarked on how quickly Villy responded last chapter. The faster time is probably the trait thing that Villy mentioned earlier.

Elephin

I wonder if Jake could find a teacher to help progress his Profession. What new materials could he trade for to make new potions maybe even Villy has never seen. He might also be able to get new items i.e. Chestplate, cloak, etc or upgrade his soul bound items - necklace?

Ramadasa Butler

Matthias

The A-grade should be called Darth Binks (or something close to it).

Mitha

Beemoss

Well then things are getting interesting welp Jake get politicking and also might be a good time to learn the finer differences between monster races and a true enlightened race because these frogs are absolutely sitting on that line and I absolutely want to see Jake give them the final push they need to get there

awesome chapter! I really want to keep reading

Tomer Yud

I like this new schedule. Let’s me read the new chapter during lunch.

Icewolf

TFTC :) Suggested edits: "and far ** smaller tent-like structures." i think you missed the word "more" here. "The otherwise toxic *air* seemed to carry an *air* of" repetition. Change the first to "atmosphere" or the second to "buzz" to avoid this. "The village was also *decisively* inhuman." should be "decidedly" " ā€œThe Oracle ** atop the Life Pool" from the context of the next statements you missed the word "dwells" here "Venusian down below was one of the *think* variants, " should be "thin"

Xander

Keep in mind, each village is headed by an Oracle.

NovaZero

I love this arc. The lore and world building are fantastic. It feels like we’re seeing a different side of Jake. Usually, his curiosity is anchored in his drive to progress but here it feels like he’s curious for curiosity’s sake. I love the Venusians being too powerful for him to fight and being unaware of the concept of a ā€œChosenā€ so they’re not overly deferential beyond him being a guest. Jake has never really had to focus on being tactful and diplomatic. It’s a new and different kind of challenge! It does make me think of all the theories that the Seat of the Exalted Prima will be more of a political challenge and this is preparing Jake for that so it doesn’t feel unrealistic that he can politic intentionally. Can’t wait to see where this goes!

DeAndrea H

Of course A grade. Really nice world building and I am curious to explore this new world!!

Schneeente

I’m pretty sure A-grade is strong enough to be the leader of multiple galaxies in the greater multiverse. This hidden world is probably at least the size of a galaxy cluster I think, though probably larger

Sloth

Thanks for the chapter!

Arieh Sochaczevski

Just how big is this place to support A grades? At least as big as a solar system. Probably a full sized Galaxy.

Biggy smalls

Yooo i didn't even think of that, but it would be crazy if he did. Jake exits the Minor world just to leave the rest of the multiverse gobsmacked when they hear the news. Lmao

Fylbrom

Jake cant catch a break. Newly evolved and already outclassed

Sean McClain

Poor Jake. He's gonna have to figure out how to turn down the advances of an A grade frog-queen without letting in on the reason being that his actual GF is a god, something they dont have any understanding of. Our guy might be screwed... and not in the fun way šŸ˜…

Fylbrom

this new arc looks promising! excited to see where it goes

Michael

So Jake juice and tadpoles? And how many levels do you get for upgrading a species to enlightened? Can already tell this gonna be special either in an epic history changing way or a window licking dumb shit gonna happen that he can't escape sort of way šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ either way villy gonna be laughing

Sol

Of course he just evolved to B-grade and is meeting an A-grade!

Nathan Holliday

tyftc. Lovely walk. :)

John Durrett

The more we see of the frogs the more I like them, I’m definitely curious about them, though reading a bunch of classical science fiction books for class and then popping online for the latest chapter has been somewhat jarring these past few days 😭TYFTC!

This new release schedule it perfect, wake up and immediately there is a sweet Primal Hunter chapter to start the day with.

I thought I should check patron before bed. Looks like it was worth it. A perfect end to the night thank you zog. Though not sure how I will function in the morning as my joy comes from my morning caffeine and primal hunter chapter.
