I think i have a serious problem with "the primal hunter" books, i love the audio books alot, just finsihed the last one. 13 i think, and im back to staring them again, into book 3. I find each time , i pick up some tid bit i missed in my 1st listen. im sure I have some warpped addiction but i love the story and the voice in the audio book really helps me during my commute. or relaxing before bed. I use the patreon to keep up with whats coming down the pipe. i can hardly wait for book 14 and beyound to hit audio book. anyway, I hope to see Jake well into godhood and beyound , this story is really good.

GeneticSloth

I dont think his parents have but caleb did

Carl Never

Wait I’ve gotta ask, unrelated, has Jake’s fam met Sylphie yet, like a welcome to the family meeting??

Tamathon

Thanks for the chapter

Kt-x

Or Jake is about to lose the vote for the wonder, but wins in a surprise landslide victory because of the beast representatives that no one knows are led by the golden groot.

brjenness

Zog is holding the reveal of the golden empire until sometime Jake is about to face an army when a shitload of high level beasts start showing up on the battleground. Jake thinks a third force has joined the fracas until Groot shows up and says it's his followers he's helped.

brjenness

Fix

Zogarth

That do be weird.

Zogarth

Haha! I totally disagree but that if a fun idea! 😁

ABTelford

I think it was mentioned early on that the day was still the same length somehow due to system F-ery most likely.

ABTelford

Since we're talking about the solar system, is a day on Earth still 24 hours? Is a year 365 days? Everything's Texas-sized now so.. 🤔

Josie

while driving home, instead of paying attention, I thought up an ending for the series. Jake reaches godhood and has some adventures...some of which bring up the concern that the viper is fattening jake up for dinner. Take a time skip. Come back to a battle between jake and villy. Villy ends up winning and looks down at jake and says, " you got the battle you dreamed of. unfortunately, you weren't ready " villy reaches down and removes his prize from jake and opens the storage box and takes out a golden leaf to place on jake's corpse. the viper then quickly removes his arms and legs and places some wounds on his body before laying down next to jake with two Katars in his chest. when jake opens his eyes he sees an unconscious viper next to him. "damn, nearly had him that time."

brjenness

I think it was implied when he visited his family after the moon visit. But not sure being outright stated

Mikerz

Wait, did his nephew ever get a cool moon rock?!?!

Tamathon

I believe its because arnold is at his level on concepts, not power but insights. Having so few equals in anything around his level leaves jake with, not many people for friendly competition.

Kuniku778

Jake always so competitive with Arnold for some reason lmao

Asher Mack

Thanks for the chapter.

Tftc Zog! Damn bro, had us worried with Arnold there at the end XD

ZanSanCho

No! 93rd universe vespy where she has a solar system entirely terraformed lol.

Hayden Leech

I fcking love Arnold. Curious to see if we get Vespy reunion at the Order.

CT

What else?

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter!

Arieh Sochaczevski

Is Arnold going to turn the moon into a fully armed and operational battlestation with a void superlaser?

TwoScoops

Show me the vespy!!! You better Bee-lieve that is she is going to be scary.

Hayden Leech

that's minaga for you! he will let you know he is the most awesone unique lifeform as much he can

Millions of eyes are basically 3 eyes… with just a few more…. So technically my guess right his variant race was right mwhauauaua

ChickeWin

Well Arnold isn't actually aligned with the bug zapper at all, as he was blessed by the eldritch eye, and the Wyrmgod does have that one divine blessed dude we met briefly at the nevermore afterparty

Christopher Jones

The SS also doesn't get stats from gear but an equivalent kind of like how Jake Spirit of Man works. As far as how they synergize, it seems complicated and not something Jake or Zog will ever fully hash out.

Fyrtue

Id love to see more Arnold POVs, his discussions with the orange fucker was my favourite

Ryan Buck

Unrelated to my other comment: I am relistening to the audiobooks and yall ever notice how long the minaga labyrinth is? Nevermore starts in book 10 and ends about half way through book 12. Minaga some fucking how managed to take up chapter 9 through 57… 48 chapters of minaga. Thats the majority of book 10. Now im not complaining, but aint it just like minaga to just selfishly take a whole third of an arc to himself?

Jip

Mostly things that he hasn't worked on if memory serves with the exception of his stealth attack skill. In the chapter before his profession evolution they cover everything I think.

Fyrtue

spatial courage -> spatial storage

AngelusDaniel

Aight, so we got: Sword Saint->Aeon Bestest Birb->Stormild Jake-> Dangernoodle Casper-> Death Elf Jacob-> Mormon Mommy Unique Life form -> Big asf ULF Eron-> Multiversal Dalai Lama Punchy lady-> Punchy man And now: Arnold-> robo bug zapper William COULD serve for creepersmile I GUESS, but the only real connection there is karmic magic as he is no longer a nutso, and really not that strong. The wyrm god doesn’t really have a comparable person imo but maybe we just haven’t met em yet (or i just am missing someone) Big ass tree could be dina, but again, its a stretch as she’s powerful, sure, but not on the same level as the rest imo. What are yalls thoughts?

Jip

Tyftc!

tigerfishie

Which of Jake’s class skills got downgraded during this evolution?

Madcats4

I LOVED the description of his eyes. When you stare into the abyss…

DeAndrea H

Thank you for the chapter

joel southard

theory 1= zog is the frister to mess with us theory 2 = zog releases it in his home country to allow them the honor of being frist.

brjenness

Is what I think would be a cool twist anyway^ also down for more side character talks and Viper chapters

Xavier

Jake’s use of Wings escape function won’t take him to earth but somehow to the World Wonder in the 93rd universe. Since the event has been practically waiting on him to evolve.

Xavier

Do keep in mind that they are e-grades, and have a lifespan of 2-400 years

Emil Sørhus

spatial storage not courage when Arnold cuts of his finger lol

ShamLonk

I think it's both Arnold is just real as fuck and logical to a fault. So he knows what jake is doing and knows exactly how to mess with him without "trying to" making it more successful i find it hilarious

Boffadeez

Yeah Arnold funny as fuck for that hahaha I love a lot of the characters in this story but everytime we chat with Arnold I love him more lmao

Boffadeez

They do tend to spend weekends together

Kristoffer

Arnold cares more about winning their skill competition than he let on. He knew what he did there.

Corey bess

Thanks for the chapter!

What causes the close quotation marks being used all the time instead of both open and close (”speech” vs “speech”)?

SweetTea54

Yeah.. I'm definitely feeling the same. Cancelling and just letting the story run for a while. But indeed today was more satisfying, and the return to the order and conversation with Villy should be fun things to look forward to

Manuel Costa

This is in no way a criticism, just something I noticed: all the speech marks are the ones that point to the left-> ” (as opposed to being pairs “”) Didn’t affect anything at all but once I noticed it I felt compelled to mention it!

Tommy

Please end up in Earth

Lynderyn

I was close with the eyes! No doctor octopus style void arms though 😅😂 TFTC!

Tommy

😂👍🏼 Tftc 🍻

JW Saxby

Jake is so petty

Daniel

I thought Arnold was talking about having multiple divine rarity skills for a second there lmao

phil

I agree with others this chapter actually had substance cause honestly I’ve been debating dropping it until the chapters add up if I ever come back

Keion

Sure, but with the intent to take the knowledge from them to work towards mass producing legendary C-grade chest and legs to sell for research funding and rarer materials. He didn't need then back for resources or records to roll into the next set like he does the void katar. He needs that back because the blade was made by an exceedingly rare void material that he wants to recycle into other projects.

Shandlar

Gregory Feddema

The escape function on them maybe if I remember right. Basically a teleport I think

Kaladin12

That conversation was so fun! And Arnold’s eyes - YES! Even creepier than I was thinking!!! ❤️‍🔥

ABTelford

Doesn't Jake need to return his current armor to Arnold so Arnold can study it? 🤔 I thought that was the condition of Jake getting the armor he's currently wearing

Josie

Also Oras got that primeval energy out of the prior void lollipop which he seemed quite pleased with so I am sure he tells Arnold to remain on good terms with Jake. I also remember when El Hakan tried to poach Arnold that Arnold did not fear death from El Hakan but did fear the possibility from Jake hence why declined the offer

Daniel Wells

A problem with a protagonist being a glass cannon is that glass cannons usually have some other character to protect them. Many stories have revolving casts and times when the protagonist has to go it alone. Being too squishy limits that creative freedom. And from the names I recognize from the glass cannons, they never became fully superior beings. They were humans with powers. All the bruisers I recognize are pretty much no longer human, even if they can appear to be one. When you transfer to cosmic scale BS, being able to be killed by losing focus a single time means you fail too often for the story to be reasonable. Then we get into plot armor and characters being too special.

Rad

Answer: ... Yes Jake does make it back to Earth all the way to the centre of the planet where the pillar is. B grades be strong yo

IntenseSushi

Wait... didn't wings take him several weeks of Sandy travel time against the chimera in C grade? Why is it such a big deal now?

Tyran

I love Arnold fucking with him without meaning to

Bookb0y

I think Arnold was so free with his race specs because he knows being perceived as a threat to Jake is not a survivable state. Either that or Oras just told him to be open with him. I'm thinking the former.

Daniel Brian

Best chapter in weeks!!! Loved it!!!

Good news everyone

Cajun Terror

Cliff hanger tomorrow is going to be some alone time with arti

Cajun Terror

Now that he is much faster, he should really pop by his parents i little bit more often when he's on earth. If this dude gets stuck for years away from others, he might not ever see them again. Come on, jake!

Emil

I wanna take a guess that after just uses the escape he is either going to overshoot earth and go to the other side or get stuck in the ground somewhere near the middle or earth

Wselby64

Hope he doeant qccidentally burn a hole in the planet

Okay from Chapter 1271 I am proven wrong or am I: Primal Hunter’s Spirit of Man (Unique)] – The spirit of mankind is truly multifaceted, allowing human versatility in all things. Humans have the ability to work together, operate alone, and adapt to any situation they might find themselves in, no matter the tools at hand. Alongside this personal excellence, they also carry the desire to pass down Records and nurture the next generation to surpass those who came before. Like you, humanity never stops moving forward. Never stop improving. It’s said that the spirit of man knows no bounds, limitless in possibilities. You embody all aspects beneficial in furthering your Path. Increases all experience gained. This effect is improved while hunting or working on profession-related activities. This effect is even further amplified when doing so alongside other humans. Allows you to pass down Records to others more easily. Increases experience gain of all those deemed your kin, comrades in arms, allies, partners, or subordinates. Increases adaptation to new environments, granting resistance to all environmental effects. Slightly increases resistance to all types of damage experienced by any other entities with the Spirit of Man. While not wearing adequate equipment that provides you with all the stats your soul can bear, you automatically make up the difference at the cost of slightly increased passive energy consumption, prioritizing physical stats. As you progress deeper onto your Path, your growth reflects it, and your body adapts: +10% to all stats. +15 to all stats per level in your race. This effect works retroactively (+10 all stats per level in C-grade, +5 all stats per level in all prior grades). Go forward, Primal Hunter, the Spirit of Man’s radiance glowing unrivaled within your being.

Arnold been constructed the armor and weapons. He just wanted time to run tests and analyze the scans he took of Jake on his way in lol. Tyftc!

Ben Cox

Very creepy. Just the thought makes me feel abit nauseous. All those eyes pearing from the darkness within his skull. That is some eldrich horror shit right there! I always saw Arnold as abit of a geek. Nothing really to worry about. A threat to nobody. But just that alone makes him feel close to being a monster. I really wouldnt be suprised if he ended up becoming an antagonist at some point later in the future. Super curious on how he will evolve as the series progresses

mucky 12

Love Arnold teasing Jake back

guy nakache

So how exactly does Spirit of man synergize with his ring from the prima guardian event with it's effect of boosting the stat cap? Is this limit boost just from items or what because both SS and Carman had an effect from theirs now that their stats are brought up it seems relevant. Carman would be closer to Jake in this particular regard as she is getting her equipment stat bump from existing as a rune maiden.

Boomer

Uh doesnt Jake get more Stats than a standard human? IIRC he got a mash of classes and a Boni on 9 different stats, normal Humans only get a Bonus for 6 different stats by choosing 2 directions. Jake was now a variant human, but his race gave the exact same stats as any other human, and no matter which human variant one got, those stats would never change. The stat allocation could change, but the total wouldn’t.

Troy Cruz

Tyftc; and while i thank you for adding in the line that Arnold is "scared" of Jake for taking his kill, it feels more like an Oras play. I feel Oras is still building Jakes goodwill to ask for something big in the near future possibly with the hidden faction antagonists. Love that Arnold is following Jake in the abnormal eye department

Tyler S.

Arnold is a great addition to this story!!

Cyranosaurus

Honestly surprised Arnold hasn't reached sacred skills. He rivaled Jake in terms of mythical skills

BumAssBumAss

Seeing this discussion from the perspecive of Arnold would be quite funny as well. The best POV of his was after El Hakkan a few hundred chapters back

Mitha

Aritra Gupta

Man, that was entertaining. Can't decide if Arnold was legit screwing with him in his own way or was just being sincere.

Corvid

All I can imagine now is that Arnold is slowing evolving into Professor Farnsworth or Professor Fink... tyftc!

Darshar Griffonmane

TFTC :) Suggested edits: "his spatial *courage* and " should be "storage" "Arnold had any sacred skills *or skills*," extra words.

Xander

Thank u for the story

i shit you not, one second the chapter wasnt there so i refreshed and then it was there i clicked and there were 3 fucking comment how are you people so fucking fast

Gotta love Arnold haha. Thanks for the chapter boss

I believe he upgraded it to the Voidblade after Nevermore, just before the Prima Guardian event.

Jake knew that there was no fucking way Arnold had any sacred skills (or skills), and even if there was another rarity above mythical, perhaps parallel to Sacred just without the divine aspect, Jake seriously doubted Arnold would have managed to- (Delete selected text.)

The Voidblade Katar, despite being a legendary weapon, did nothing fancy at all. (Isn’t it Blackpoint Nanoblade, and wasn’t it ancient rarity?)
