Chapter 1268 - Season's Passing

Tyftc Ree ree ree I want a sylphie plushie

Chloe

TYFTC!

Rachel Clements

I really hope we get through evolution before the end of the week and don't have to wait past the weekend. While I enjoyed the sword saint part, I wish it came after jake evolved

Greg Alverson

I just realized that Jake's latest skill affecting experience of his friends will definitely boost Sword Saint to get the skill upgraded

Sandy

So glad we spent this chapter in essentially a foot race to the place we spent 20 chapters in already instead of just evolving.

carson

So does SS get a reveal party? Also calling it now, B-grade rematch at the seat of the exalted Prima

Ryan Ulrich

“His (Transcendence)Transcendent is weird. Related to time and seasons, yet also intrinsically tied to himself.”

Alexander C Hyde

So the evo starts in a week on like friday...

Sargon Yami

Shadowind

Who who said 4 1/2 Stars was out of five? Totally out of 10.

Burkholt

Do we know when the break will be?

Jan

I dont think so, the before 210 rule was to compete on the leaderboards. Both so you can get the biggest multiplier possible and to not have a unfair advantage. However there is no leaderboard for B grade and up. Nevermore herself said Jake's visit in B grade would be much less crazy.

Jason Connors

I am wondering if you need to enter Nevermore below a certain level in Class B i.e. you needed to be below Class C - level 210 to compete. Do they have a similar rule for Class B ? Can they earn more titles? Don't forget Jake has that entire garden he won and planted at C Class, growing at the Nevermore time dilation rate. The garden should be chock full of harvestable materials like herbs and posions (plus his personal favourite "Mushrooms" - LOL) .

Ramadasa Butler

I want Jake to wrestle a B grade peak variant wolf or something in B grade. That would be sick.

Takoda Heitz

It's ok. Minaga lives rent free in everyone else's head.

Dor Hanner

Thanks for the chapter.

Joshua Little

I want Jake and Artemis to go public. The wedding would be a great time to do that. Also, keeps the sucabus from mobbing him.

KenTX325

never buy a time machine from Temu...screw it i'm getting a new one. .. you guys are going to love Amazon's Prime Anytime service.

brjenness

anybody know how to recalibrate a flux capacitor?

brjenness

I want the whole gang to go to the Demon wedding! Or Jake finally being brought to the obelisks where he can help Villy get his family back! Ugh, I’m way too attached to these characters lol

Damn.... Jake just lives rent free in Minaga's head don't he? TFTC

Eric Shivak

I am guessing they would look at Jake with great thanks for the opportunities he provided the little murder bird. Wonder how far the records sylphie drops will take Misty and Hawkie.

Ty Cooper

Lol well maybe next week we will get to see the b-grade evolution 😅 still love the chapter just cannot help but laugh at the suspense. Tftc!

Ty Cooper

"Now that's just rude..." - Minaga😂

Ray Light

TFTC :) Suggested edits: "In *an entirely other space*" You've used this phrasing before and it was clunky then also. It should be more like "In another space entirely..." or "From an entirely separate space" or "From a different realm, two figurees watched the..." "His *Transcendent* is weird." I've only listened to the sudiobooks so forgive me but, shouldnt this be "Transcendence"? The Sword Saint is a Transcendent(adjective) who experiences Transcendence(noun). It may have been a different way around for the entire series because they sound so similar. ", it had ** far longer," missing word "been" "discussing a race to the *room*." should be "moon" maybe?

Xander

He didn't leave us on a cliff-hanger for his last break, so I think he won't for this one either. When does he go on Christmas break?

Lemonsqueezy

I thought Sylphie was already the chosen of Stormmild? Didn't that happen in the Yggdrasil arc?

Lemonsqueezy

This is most likely the case now that I think of it. Jake seeing the gate at B-Grade is completely unheard of. It was stated that doing so is something that S-Grades need to do before reaching God Tier.

Lemonsqueezy

Zog needs his Friday cliffhanger.

Lemonsqueezy

TSS?

Lemonsqueezy

I don't think Zog will go into much on Jake power-leveling in the dungeon. He already described what was in there once. Would be kind of boring to read. I expect a paragraph or two about it, then Jake returns to his lodge to evolve (which he has done for every grade after leaving the tutorial). We might get descriptions but not the decisions. Monday will what he chooses, talking to Villy, and returning to The Order. That would be a typical Zog cliffhanger.

Lemonsqueezy

I’m excited to see Sword Saint’s upgrade, for him to be bumped to Chosen, and for the multiverse’s reaction to yet another Chosen, especially of a Primordial, hailing from Earth. I also think it would be cute to see Sylphie get the Mystie/Hawkie treatment when Jake finally evolves to B grade. I love rereading when Jake was first trying to learn to use his Wings and Hawkie was straight clowning him. But by the end Hawkie admitted he was severely outclassed.

DeAndrea H

hobgoblins seem to have some time affinity - in nevermore they ran the time chambers

jjjm

Yes the cliffhangers everyday... Are painful. But the writing's good so we always have something to look forward to

LynxtheMinx

C grade lets them polymorph usually. Sylphie doesn’t feel a need to or to change her speech. She did go from only Jake and her parents understanding her to everyone I believe at C. She believes she’s already in the most perfect form so why make a human form. I assume a part of it is her elemental parts being silly and different as well. Last, I’d imagine most monsters use a human form to deal with the enlightened races better and to make it more comfortable for those races. Sylphie has no need she has SS and Jake and others as her minions.

Cindercon

Yes, thank you for the story Zogarth! And for the chappy!

JJB4345_80_815

Has it been stated why Sylphie can’t talk yet but all the other same grade monsters can? Is A grade when they get to polymorph into human form of is that just for dragons like Villy?

Tanner Lannister

Aeon already mentioned it this chapter we just couldn't read it because of system fuckery

Daniel

god damnit, I can't wait for when there's something exciting happening again. Don't get me wrong it's all part of the process. In order for the exciting shit to slap you've gotta have the progression and POV build up, but the long awaited seat of the exalted prima event has been a carrot dangling there for so long. I wanna see all the various factions throw down in B grade already. Although I do enjoy Slyphie (Mushoku Tensei anybody?) and Sandy messing with Jake. That's hilarious. Super happy to get a Sword Saint update, but yeah big rivalry matchup incoming with the Transcendence upgrade to match Jake's own special variety of cheat skills. Mio out here rizzin out with his time affinity just trippin on seasons. Whats up with this Hobgoblin? Is there a notable hobgoblin from some other lore source that we should know about like Artemis? I get he's Aeon's previous Chosen just curious if he has some allusion component to his character.

Gregory Schmitt

Tomorrow half another POV, half dungeon and Jake getting the final level without selections. I would love to be wrong though :/

CT

That is what the next week Thursday chapter is for

Mat

People need a new short hand for Sword Saint. Every time I see SS, my first thought is Nazi's! 😅

David

TYFTC!! words can’t properly encompass how much I LOVE SS and Aeons relationship 😭

tigerfishie

Jake is really mean to the hero of the story.

InfernoDroid

That is what I am hoping for tomorrow, but Zog might just leave all of that until next week with only the evolution happening tomorrow.

Lemonsqueezy

Tftc

Dave

What do you mean underappreciated?! Nobody in the history of the multiverse has ever been more appreciated than minaga! Because as we all know, he appreciates the hell out of himself! All bajillion of himselves! 😂

David

Easy! Lose the snark, lose the sarcasm. Not worth it though!

David

Now THAT is an excellent question!!

David

Moon probably

Hayden Leech

Love it

ABTelford

Jake turned and yelled up to Sylphie and Sandy, who seemed to be discussing a race to the room. (Is room the correct word here?)

Alexander C Hyde

Yeah he’s going the skill upgrade route that’s not divine. He’s going the “standard” route it would seem.

Biggy smalls

Please let the cliffhanger be which selection is being made. Atleast give us some options at the very least. Please Zog I beg you.

K R

So if Sandy is now B grade, is Tom also B grade?

Rewdan

The hobgoblin had only come by for a visit and spent some casual time there, but from the human’s point of view, it had (been) far longer, and based on him having already sat there when the god arrived, he’d likely been going for years already.

Alexander C Hyde

That's insane, right? That basically means he has spent almost all of his life so far just watching the seasons!

Daniel Brian

B grade coming up fast!

Daniel Brian

Thank u for the story

C0bra$

SS gonna teach us all what comes after Mythical that's non-sacred

Josie

Such cruelty... “How do I get that last half a star?”

Daniel Golding

Once getting to level 349 every level gos to your race. So with him being 349 in class race and profession, his next level will make him B Grade.

AwesomeMug box

I don't think tomorrow will have options. Keep in mind that he needs to evolve his race first then his class/profession so tomorrow at most might tell us what his race will become (or if it's still just human at B grade).

Fyrtue

I slightly confused why does he only need one level in his class for b grade did he max out his profession already?

Wselby64

Poor Minaga, truly an underappreciated character!

smore

Woop. Im excited about the next arc.

Rahsheem Reid

6,7 hundred years? I've been infested by brainrot

Adam Taylor

The last thing in tomorrow's chapter will be jake accepting his evolution and we will have to suffer over the weekend

Jack

The first thing I thought when Aeon said he'd make the sword saint his chosen was "well thats the next 10 chapter fight"

Jack

I bet the bigger value would be favors between the two gods rather than records.

Fyrtue

Eron has an arcane affinity.

Dewdrop06

TYFTC. I want to know if there will be benefits for Villy from the SS becoming a Chosen. Villy informed Aeon about him. Gotta be worth some quality records tangentially

Ben Sheahan

i hope we get to see more bloodlines and transcendents in b grades! Feels like even though theyre rare yes, at jakes talent level there have to be at least a few more right? Oh and also arcane affinities, like jake cant be the only peak talented mortal with one!

Sammot

I didn't even catch that lol

Rodney

I’m interested in seeing if there is a resurgence in Pride of the Malefic Viper being offered. He used the skill with his Aurora/Presence a lot during the lesson. I wanna know how it affects their evolutions

Ben Sheahan

Correction: "...tasked the Sword Saint with doing before evolving to C-grade." Should be evolving to B-grade

denym123

Makes sense the sword saint is taking a different path than getting a sacred skill. I doubted sword saint can get scared since not even a primordial's chosen, like Artemis was able to do it.

BumAssBumAss

Zog please be merciful and no cliff tomorrow at least allow us to see the class options.... please

Bloodshadow

Welp we should at least see the options tomorrow and maybe get a sneak peek at a upgraded Transcendent Skill

Phoenixdrop

eh, id say its better for him to wait until b-grade, since then he will have to upgrade a bunch of his skills due to his evolution downgrading some of his skills, that and having better capabilities to handle the act of pondering on concepts

zran

Just evolve already damn it!

Nathan Holliday

Tftc, this one sped by for me lol, so hyped for b grade

Lommona

What I think Aeon is trying the SS to achieve is the deeper concepts of Time/Seasons. Installing that slow leaking pipe into his true soul as described by Vilas when trying to access/understand concepts when you don't have have access to the gate of enlightenment.

Ramadasa Butler

Aeon is way too old to be saying 6-7 lol

Daryl

No no. That will be next Monday after a cliffhanger tomorrow.

dash w

I think Zog said that he was or still is a massive WoW fan so my guess is that its something like goblin engineering. Something like natural tinkerers with a slant for explosives. Aeon, being the clock man, see's these little dudes that like to make things they make go boom (Im picturing a cartoon tnt with a clock strapped to it for a countdown time), and takes them in to help them get better at the time and mechanical engineering part of their fighting paths. The only other paths I see for goblins is probably merchant or assassin ones

Derrick Blacketter

Tftc!

GeneticSloth

Jake is a master at messing with Minaga but Minaga is a master at causing psychological damage to the entire multiverse including Jake. He'll never get that last half a star because Jake will never forget that lore dump that lasted like an entire day while Casper was practically comatose and Jake was trapped in the dungeon unable to leave or meditate to avoid listening to him

Stevean Bozek

And here I thought that this chapter will be about Jake’s b-grade evolution :(

Bentao

You have no shame

Kris Piskorski

Can we get an early Christmas gift? Maybe like 3 chapters tomorrow? That would be real nice

Davis Martin

👍🏼 Tyftc 🍻

JW Saxby

You keep mentioning the sword saint evolving to C-Grade. And upgrading their transcendent beforehand do you mean B-Grade?

Spencer Needler

That seems extremely difficult. Hadn't only one of his Artemis blessed opponents had done that?

Jennifer Leigh

The Sword Saint really putting those old man vibes to good use. Gonna be fun when the next time he meets Jake he'll be a fellow Chosen of a Primordial and have an upgraded Transcendent skill. You know, with the Sword Saint about to become a Primordial's Chosen and Sylphie likely to become one soon too, I wonder if and when Dina will join them as Nature's Attendant's Chosen to complete the Nevermore party of Pinnacle Gods' Chosen hat trick.

djthomp

Well this confirms it, we will not have evolutions till next week, at the earliest. I only hope that they can be completed prior to Zog's Christmas Break. Anyone know when he starts and returns from his Christmas break 2025?

Ramadasa Butler

lol, Minaga will never know how to get that last half a star tftc

Episode 19

Thanks for the chapter!

Arieh Sochaczevski

Sword Saint just casually sitting and experiencing seasons changing for 689 years is insane to me and at the same time, very awesome of him. Glad he is going to be made Aeon’s new Chosen. Way to go Sword Saint. I busted out laughing when Minaga just gave up and told Jake where to go to enter dungeon.

Cory S.

I feel like Jake should really take some time in a time compression zone like the sword saint and meditate on concepts with his meditation skill could be really valuable especially in upgrading his archery skill

Jake Atwood

Zog should be nice n give use a extra chapter for the holidays

Keion

I wonder who gets the last arrow before Jake levels up? TFTC Zogie!

Samuel Nelson

I love how by any metric, the Sword Saint is a genius and absolutely shooting up the ranks. But because he hangs around Jake, he doesn't look as good as he is. At least it looks like Aeon see it.

Unwillingmainer

Yes your fast but just wait till he evolves then youll get the same treatment as your dad

Tyler S.

Does anyone else think Jake should upgrade his archery and some other skills at least to mythical?

Fdrugc

Tftc

Meir Banon

Ree!

Sylphie

Jack spent 40 year in Time dilation making eternal shadow

Marcus Evenett

Ooooooo can’t wait to see his future options!

mitchell kaiser

If the sword sant had Jake's meditation skill he would be scary also what he is doing is incredible.

Fdrugc

What's Aeon's thing with goblins, like I swear this is the 2nd goblin we've seen that is/was blessed by him, like 100% of goblins we've met have had a blessing from Aeon at one point, also Zog is dragging the B-Grade evolution so he can leave us on a cliffhanger tomorrow but at the same time the chapters dragging it out are still so damn good

Jack

Thanks Zogarth 🙏 Looking forward to some B grade shenanigans

Roy

Devillelouch

Jake is already a transcendent. Jake is Jake. Jake is not dead Jake. Jake is not even defeated Jake. Jake is victorious. Jake's transcendence is to remain always Jake and refuse to be anything other than Jake. Sandy...musings while traveling the universe.

brjenness

God I love the Sword Saint, the B grade duel between Primordials Chosen is going to go so hard

wyattmon

TFTC Z, SS for the win! I always enjoy the “catching up with Char” chapters

Tftc of course he’s gonna leave us on a huge cliffhanger tomorrow

DARK LORD DAISHI

I can't even imagine what the old man is going through. The longest Jake has ever spent on some boring task was on learning how to use Shroud in like 15 years, but even then he was actually doing something. The Sword Saint is just... experiencing time. Not even meditating or anything. Just watching the seasons pass for nearly 700 years. His old man energy will be off the charts after this.

Ritsu

b grade here we come

Benjamin Davis-Lorton

Race to the room > race to the moon Is what I think was intended there at the end Thank you for the chapter!

Interesting to see where SS ends up

Georgia Guy-Williams

That was exactly what Aeon Clok, the Primordial of Time, had tasked the Sword Saint with doing before evolving to C-grade. B-grade?
