No cause how would Villy get in touch with every human across multiple universes who have evolved to c grade.

"seeing as he was the first person Villy had ever heard about who didn’t get an evolution quest while evolving to C-grade" Shouldn't that be first ever human?

With all the talk about capital O Origins, my guess is he's either related to the roots of humanity (hence primal), the origin of the system, or both 🤷‍♂️ maybe some primal human made the system, along the lines of defiance of the fall

So, Chapter 6: Starborne The starborne are a race of mighty beings created from the stars themselves, as the name suggests. Even the weakest is at B-grade while the strongest come into existence at S-grade. These creatures possess incredible power and intellect and often do not seek to form societies but merely join whatever faction suits them. I guess Jake could be a starborne, or whatever his natural grade is could extend to S - Grade, as some starborne have S-Grade as there natural grade.

You know, I like the idea of Jake's Truesoul originally having been the First Primordial or First God. Perhaps the Primal Hunter was karmically erased by Eversmile's Transcendence but was recycled as the Truesoul can't necessarily be touched. Could explain why he has no evolutionary hurdles as he's simply retracing his previous path to Godhood.

It’s all about records. Records are the soft cap for most people, and gods. Investing divine records into a mortal and that mortal not generating divine level records is probably not going to help much. But Jake’s bloodline related records are transcendent in nature, so him fucking around with them is somewhat god-level already.

It was brought up a few books ago, the main reason to choose a chosen as a god is that if your chosen grows stronger, you get levels and other rewards (possible titles or other resources strictly for gods we don't know about yet). And if a chosen reaches godhood the rewards are incomparable bigger then if your chosen went from D to S rank then died. Which is why most gods only give out divine blessings to promising individuals until they reach A rank, to be better cost affective for the resources they used to make a chosen. Of course villy said that Jake has already made up for the resources used when he made vesperia

He's human still, but his bloodline is making him something more than a human. Because his brother doesn't (and wouldn't) have the same bloodline he won't get the same options

Ser

2025-12-10 03:37:54 +0000 UTC

How is his brother not also having weird race evolutions? Are they not actually related? I would assume that a bloodline doesn’t change your race

Having him be some sort of therianthrope would be really cool actually i had never considered that. Maybe something in the reptile family going by how he gets along with villy and his proclivity for poisons?

James Davis

2025-12-09 23:59:10 +0000 UTC

Do we know of any chosen that have become gods? Obviously there have to be some but are there any named in the story yet?

Random58

2025-12-09 23:50:41 +0000 UTC

My favorite guess for Jake's Race has already been tossed out the window back in Nevermore. I was really rooting for Fae, specifically that Jake was a changeling left with a human family in a pre-system universe, because that's just the sort of messed up stuff Fae like to do. But then Fae were finally introduced in Nevermore and there was no instinctual reaction on either side (unless immediately going for the kill on Jake counts). The only fantasy race that isn't already represented in the story that still kind of fits is Lycanthrope or Therianthrope. It fits the hunter aspect, and it also fits the whole inner beast thing that's going on with Jake's instincts. The race quest would be something like "Find your inner beast" I'm not a huge fan of this, but aside from just inventing something like "Primal Human" or going way too vanilla with "High Human" I can't think of any other options.

2025-12-09 23:26:36 +0000 UTC

What happens at god level…. Will he sever the chosen connection , will he be considered a usurper , or will they continue sharing records until when they’re on the same level?

Don’t you just love the fact that Jake will do this and still not see the big deal.

Not exactly related to the chapter itself, but seeing the mention of his alchemy stuff worthy of being a Chosen has me growing more interested in his True Dragon experiment. Consider this: as far as multiverse impact, it’s hard to top Vesperis. His other creations have been novel, but she was a straight up True Royal or whatever they were called. So how do you top that? A unique True Dragon created using the heart of an enemy chosen who became a usurper and then a delulu deity. Then combined with Jake juice AND the fact that Jake himself is the chosen of the Viper, one of the greatest “dragons” to ever exist (he’s not technically a dragon in that sense but whatever) I can imagine it hatches and we’ve got some sort of “Primal Celestial Dragon” that would once more throw the multiverse into chaos as a new “top variant” True Dragon is created.

I dont think ES was intentionally crippling William, I think he just didnt give a fuck about his progress. ES did teach W proper karmic magic which is far king difficult to get started without a proper teacher after all. Hell I've been an advocate of William and Lillian getting together since they are both damaged people. The biggest problem with that is the shippers would have to deal with it being called "Lill-iam" :D

Xander

2025-12-09 19:07:14 +0000 UTC

TFTC :) I want Jake to be an Ur-Human since that refers to the most primal form of a entity but that might be a little too obscure. Suggested edits: "wasn’t something Jake was entirely sure what meant, " this is badly worded and should be replaced with "was a little vague" you could also use "non-specific" since you use vague a couple times later on. "who actually had to do these quests and figure out what they had to do." repeated "had to do" irks me a little. Maybe "the criteria" instead for the second or "experienced" for the first "Bloodline is referred to, so ** one’s out." missing word "that" "I get the exact same flavor" should be "got" from context.

I would be curious about the stats of the first system-recognized god. Jake got crazy good stats for being a forerunner, a progenitor, and a prodigy so i can’t help but wonder what the System gave for being the very first to figure out the path to godhood.

DeAndrea H

2025-12-09 18:54:33 +0000 UTC

Ok so the Primordials all have titles right ? What if that's there race then dose that mean Valdemar is also not a human then but a ...... human ?

charlesgers s

2025-12-09 18:20:35 +0000 UTC

While I agree that will be a good match up. It won’t happen till way into godhood. She’s considered at or near the primordials and no matter how much Jake can punch up, that is too much. Probably worse than a F tier trying to fight a S, or comparable

Corey S

2025-12-09 18:12:08 +0000 UTC

I don’t know. Everyone kind of agrees that Minaga is the ultimate system oopsie and Jake feels no compulsion to hunt him.

DeAndrea H

2025-12-09 18:11:42 +0000 UTC

at the time Jake was less knowledgable of the multiverse and concepts now he has maybe a toddlers understanding so villy can talk a litttle about it without going into forbidden knowledge or impacting jakes growth as much

Honestly, I know a lot of people aren’t keen on him, but I wouldn’t mind a check in with William and whether or not he’s able to progress to B-grade. Eversmile was intentionally crippling his path for shits and giggles and he really struggled with the C-grade evolution. With B-grade being even harder, I’m curious how William switching to working with Jake and the World Council against Ell’Hakan might have changed his path. I mean a helping free billions of people from tainted karma ties has to be big for a karmic mage right?

DeAndrea H

2025-12-09 18:02:02 +0000 UTC

What if the race is literally just human. He takes things to their origin. If you take that onto consideration, the most basic bare bones version of a human is someone who learns what they need from those around them to try to better their own life and that of their loved ones.

The ability to mentally talk to Villas is because Jake is his chosen. It has been stated that those blessed by Gods can speak to said god. The lower the blessing the lower the ability to communicate. Lesser blessing can only feel vague intentions from their gods. While the ones with the "Chosen" title can have full conversations. In any other case the gods have to physically interact with a person to communicate. This can be done with a strong karmic connection with the individual via an item the person equips (in the case of Umbra and Jake's cloak), and actual communication device, an avatar, or possessing the body of one of their followers. Maybe that will change when Jake and Artemis have a child therefore giving them a strong enough bond to communicate even if it is only vaguely.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-12-09 17:42:09 +0000 UTC

So excited for when he finally reaches B grade. Lowkey I wouldn't mind it if they skipped most of how he gets through b grade so we can get to see him as an A or S grade f*cking up gods ans shit

Jason

2025-12-09 17:39:28 +0000 UTC

He can always go hunting in some World Wonders if he needs to, it's been established that they scale all the way to beyond the Primordials in the deepest depths of them so no matter how strong a B/A/S Grade is, there will always be stronger things to hunt in those. There is probably some records reason why he should visit several of them anyway even if he isn't lacking in prey in the wider multiverse.

A. Person

2025-12-09 17:39:05 +0000 UTC

That was before Jake said it evolves every evolution. It's just is current reach is so far that it would take a b grade brain to understand it all, and presumably if it evolves again when he hits B grade, you yould need a A rank brain to handle it

Jason

2025-12-09 17:37:38 +0000 UTC

There have been theories that have said that the reason Jake hasn't gotten a quest yet is because he keeps strengthening his soul so the quest keeps getting postponed because his body still needs to catch up to the new bar that is being set. It has been said that that is ultimately what causes the evolution. For humans that always happens at C-Grade, for other races it happens at other grades. Jake is unique because of the fact that he focuses so much on making his soul stronger. Sometimes by luck (Soulflame, Cursed Dagger, and his Bloodline), sometimes by random events (TFS for instance), sometimes by skill, and a lot of times because of his sugar daddy Villas.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-12-09 17:23:18 +0000 UTC

anybody else looking forward to how much more of Jake's bloodline he'll be able to use after evolving?? just remembered that the First Sage mentioned he thought Jake would be able to fully use it in B-Grade

Yarza Wynn

2025-12-09 17:20:40 +0000 UTC

Thanks for the chapter! Wasn’t Villy’s conclusion last time that they would never speak of this again? He seemed to have a reason to not speculate with Jake.

Arieh Sochaczevski

2025-12-09 17:08:22 +0000 UTC

The sage is a Human. It was stated a really long time ago by Villas. Maybe TFS was the first and maybe only Evolved Human. Which could give some truth to some theories that Jake is somehow the reincarnation of TFS. I have had an unlikely theory that TFS merged with or replaced the System itself, which will be what Jake also ultimately does. This final evolution is becoming the new System, which happens every era. This would kind of explain why the System seems to slightly change how it operates with every newly integrated universe. Like it seems to learn from the previous one. Since a new universe isn't even created until the previous one is fully integrated, I think that when someone becomes or merges with the System the next candidate(s) is/are chosen. Or maybe there is some sort of secret committee of people that oversee everything (comprised of a single individual from each era), and probably have betting pools. Like how the gods all have their chosen, the members of the System do so as well but in the background. They influence events in the multiverse to give their champion the best chance. Maybe Jake is TFS's chosen (or maybe even his replacement), and if he wins the competition Jake is added to the committee and the process repeats. Could be an interesting way to end the story. Other theory I have is that Jake will ultimately destroy the system itself. His final hunt.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-12-09 17:00:22 +0000 UTC

I would think that the Heretic objective would be William. Jake convinced another Primordial’s Chosen to turn heretic. Also, for his evolution to godhood, if he has to fight a god, I would think it would be Umbra. It’s been set up that he hard counters her abilities and she’s been seeded into his story since the tutorials.

DeAndrea H

2025-12-09 16:50:59 +0000 UTC

naturally god tier would be insane - that would mean any children of his would basically breeze through all grades into godhood

jjjm

2025-12-09 16:45:35 +0000 UTC

My guess for how the rest of the week will go. Friday will be when Jake evolves to B-Grade. The cliff hanger will be where we do not know what Jake chooses until Monday. We may or may not get the descriptions of what is available on Friday. I do like the theme that Jake returns to his home on Earth to actually evolve every time. My guess for when the race evolution will happen - A-Grade seems likely with S-Grade being a close second. I doubt it would be at God-Tier but if it is I expect it to require him to kill a God. With how long it takes to evolve to the next grade increasing exponentially, we probably have several hundred chapters to go before A-Grade, and probably a couple thousand before God tier is achieved. Really depends on how much Zog decides to time-skip through these grades. We are talking about hundreds if not thousands of years that need to pass for Jake to reach peak B-Grade, thousands more for A-Grade, and probably 100s of thousands to for S-Grade. Guess we will have to see. A-Grade is another 150 levels. S-Grade is 250 more after that, God Tier is another 250 above that. I think the biggest hindrance will be trying to find stuff to hunt as his grades increase. The higher the grade the less available things there are to hunt at those grades. I expect a lot of dungeon diving happening, otherwise he will have to make a lot of factions quite upset when he starts massacring entire factions lol. With him already having knowledge and experience with the gate, I think him actually pushing into God tier wont be very difficult considering that seems to be a requirement to do so. Anyway, sorry for the long rant. My ADHD tends to make me do that.

Lemonsqueezy

2025-12-09 16:40:39 +0000 UTC

Whoa that’s a throwback! Interesting theory

Saitama Solos Supremacies

2025-12-09 16:29:52 +0000 UTC

Well, I guess his race is somehow related to Hunters. As for the reason behind my theory: remember when he went to the moon? There were some monsters or species whose race names contained the word "Hunter," and they just stared at Jack as if they were dumbstruck — like he was a god or someone to be admired. (The novel doesn’t explicitly mention the reason for this strange behaviour; it’s just something I am guessing.) It reminds me of how wyverns might look up to dragons or how elves might look up to high elves. Those monsters might have been looking up to the "Primal Hunter." And let’s not forget the name of his bloodline: "Bloodline of the Primal Hunter." Of course, the last one is a weak argument, since the name of Villy’s bloodline, "Bloodline of the Immortal Mind," doesn’t make Viper immortal. Villy is immortal, but not because of his bloodline.

ABTelford

2025-12-09 16:24:57 +0000 UTC

I'm guessing the lack of a race quest is related to primeval origin energy. If Jake is naturally producing some energy that can evolve others, it stands to reason that he naturally evolves himself, too.

LemonPerson

2025-12-09 15:35:11 +0000 UTC

This makes sense. We already know that Jake soul is insanely strong and has only gotten stronger. It also makes sense that the race quest is linked to the soul. So until we get some clue or hit stating otherwise it's a good working theory. And it matches nice with the fact that beings with natural high grades just need to grow to match where they already are at grade level wise

Its his soul, is my theory, his soul is at the quality of a god, so maybe his evolution has nothing to add but the power to reflect so no quest needed? Which would mean he is a normal human contextually.

Timothy Spradlin

2025-12-09 14:49:05 +0000 UTC

TYFTCCCC I’m waiting for Jake to never once get an evolution quest, as he’s likely “supposed” to be a god (or at least at that level or higher in some equivalent), hence why he doesn’t get affected by auras

tigerfishie

2025-12-09 14:45:09 +0000 UTC

My personal theory is that there can be up to 10 primals. Because that's how many pathways there are for humans. While I also believe the first sage was the primal sage.

Called it on no Evolution quest for B grade! Also sure Jake is right on the money with non till godhood. The way they've described his bloodline making him immune to presences makes it clear to me, godhood is his natural grade. He can be less powerful, but not 'inferior' to anything, as he is the hunter not the prey. He'll be catching up to his bloodline until he can hunt anything in the multiverse.

Jason Smith

2025-12-09 14:39:50 +0000 UTC

I was always confused on the origin thing, like wouldn't the origin of all life, whatever type of being Jake used his Jake Juice on, go back to single-celled organisms? Especially in a universe where Gods exist, are mortal, and have not been around since the dawn of time. Even if Jake just went back to the origin of humans, that never occurred at a definitive moment. Evolution takes place over millions of years. Its not like two non humans just had a child and that child was the first human.

I’m guessing it is going to be something like Primal enlightened/human. Cause I get the feeling he is going to somehow evolve Artemis’s race as well into an elf variant.

That one, right there.

Damn I was looking forward to finding out Jake's race. Seeing how long (irl time) C grade took and how much stalling these last few levels have had I don't think we'll ever get to see it. Hopefully the theories tomorrow will be cool at least.

I'm leaning towards the theory that Jake is the first sage (reincarnated).

“Perform an alchemical feat worthy of calling yourself a Primordial’s Chosen (1/1)” could be referring to return of the Vespernat Hive Queen.

It would be cool if Jake could do mental calls with Artemis as well. One day he needs to tell her about his unique race.

His race is Primal Hunter, just like Villy's race is The Malefic Viper. He already stepped into divine realms in C Grade, and the system isn't stupid. It knows what he is, what he will be, and what he was born as: A Primal Hunter.

Oooh! Damn cliffhanger!! 😂 I think it's to do with being the Primal Hunter and he might be the Origin of Humans. So he is already the perfect human and he believes this as well. What if there's some timey-wimey shit? And he's actually known everyone longer but they've all forgotten it because it's forbidden knowledge???

Nooooooooo another cliffhanger, I just hope we read about the upgrades to Race, Class and Profession prior to the weekend. I believe that this is the most delayed Class evolution upgrade yet. I can even imagine tomorrow's chapter will be entirely on them discussing what the Race upgrade will be from both Villy's and Jakes perspective. It could also contain information on Sylphie's and others evolution to B Class on subsequent nights. Just furthering your delay in getting to read about Jake's evolution to B Class. Worse case we better get it prior to your Christmas break or you may have some very sad readers. I would equate it to only getting coal from Santa for a Christmas present.

Jake is the reincarnation of the first Human. Jake in this case would be like Adam from the creation story in the Bible, thus making him the perfect Human specimen, genetically speaking. This is my guess. Probably way off and much simpler like he is the reincarnation of the First Sage and just has to unlock his memories or something like that.

Man that vague bullshit from the system really would be so annoying. Then again, we've been told it's harder for people with higher quality classes and professions, so maybe that means less vague bullshit at least for C-grade for more normal people. Either way, good thing for Jake he still doesn't have to worry about it and neither do we. Really looking forward to the evolution, we're so close. Traditional weekend cliff, probably?

Chapter 1266 - Peak C-grade

Comments

Tyftc

No cause how would Villy get in touch with every human across multiple universes who have evolved to c grade.

Was hoping to get Villys view on his particular soul flame.

"seeing as he was the first *person* Villy had ever heard about who didn’t get an evolution quest while evolving to C-grade" Shouldn't that be first ever *human?*

Tftc Zog!

But villy can remember everything with his bloodline or another thing it would mean the bloodline would have lost once

With all the talk about capital O Origins, my guess is he's either related to the roots of humanity (hence primal), the origin of the system, or both 🤷‍♂️ maybe some primal human made the system, along the lines of defiance of the fall

Thank you for the chapter

All I want for Christmas is for Jake to reach B-Grade

Love the Villy chapters so much. Looking forward to the next few chapters so much. Also does the soulflame and the wonders it has brought just fall under alchemical feats. Looking forward to all the chapters to come. Tftc

TYFTC

He's human still, but his bloodline is making him something *more than* a human. Because his brother doesn't (and wouldn't) have the same bloodline he won't get the same options

How is his brother not also having weird race evolutions? Are they not actually related? I would assume that a bloodline doesn’t change your race

ZOGARTH DROP ANOTHER CHAPTER AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Having him be some sort of therianthrope would be really cool actually i had never considered that. Maybe something in the reptile family going by how he gets along with villy and his proclivity for poisons?

Do we know of any chosen that have become gods? Obviously there have to be some but are there any named in the story yet?

What happens at god level…. Will he sever the chosen connection , will he be considered a usurper , or will they continue sharing records until when they’re on the same level?

Don’t you just love the fact that Jake will do this and still not see the big deal.

I'm sure the choices will be the last thing you see on Friday.

Can’t wait for these B-Grade class selections

Can’t wait for these B-Grade class selections

Tftc

I think he is a pre god due to him being referred to as the concept of primal hunter.

Thanks for the chapter.

Ha! TotallyNotShirtaloon: “Booooo!”

I don't think he will get a race evolution until he is s-Grade. Or maybe s-grade going into godhood

Yeah I have a feeling Friday is going to look like Everest

I wonder how often the big name authors that are friends anonymously go into each other's comments and say stuff like, "you suck. worst chapter ever."

Thank you for the Chapter!!! I'm so excited for B grade!

Thanks Zogarth loving these everyday cliffhangers. Sure why wait for Friday just leave us hanging every day

I would be curious about the stats of the first system-recognized god. Jake got crazy good stats for being a forerunner, a progenitor, and a prodigy so i can’t help but wonder what the System gave for being the very first to figure out the path to godhood.

Ok so the Primordials all have titles right ? What if that's there race then dose that mean Valdemar is also not a human then but a ...... human ?

While I agree that will be a good match up. It won’t happen till way into godhood. She’s considered at or near the primordials and no matter how much Jake can punch up, that is too much. Probably worse than a F tier trying to fight a S, or comparable

I don’t know. Everyone kind of agrees that Minaga is the ultimate system oopsie and Jake feels no compulsion to hunt him.

at the time Jake was less knowledgable of the multiverse and concepts now he has maybe a toddlers understanding so villy can talk a litttle about it without going into forbidden knowledge or impacting jakes growth as much

He's the Primal human!!!

Ha! No! We have another ten years til godhood!

What if the race is literally just human. He takes things to their origin. If you take that onto consideration, the most basic bare bones version of a human is someone who learns what they need from those around them to try to better their own life and that of their loved ones.

His mom had a sexy god pool guy?

So excited for when he finally reaches B grade. Lowkey I wouldn't mind it if they skipped most of how he gets through b grade so we can get to see him as an A or S grade f*cking up gods ans shit

That was before Jake said it evolves every evolution. It's just is current reach is so far that it would take a b grade brain to understand it all, and presumably if it evolves again when he hits B grade, you yould need a A rank brain to handle it

anybody else looking forward to how much more of Jake's bloodline he'll be able to use after evolving?? just remembered that the First Sage mentioned he thought Jake would be able to fully use it in B-Grade

Thanks for the chapter! Wasn’t Villy’s conclusion last time that they would never speak of this again? He seemed to have a reason to *not* speculate with Jake.

naturally god tier would be insane - that would mean any children of his would basically breeze through all grades into godhood

Whoa that’s a throwback! Interesting theory

Enjoyable chapter, thanks

I'm guessing the lack of a race quest is related to primeval origin energy. If Jake is naturally producing some energy that can evolve others, it stands to reason that he naturally evolves himself, too.

Thanks for another awesome chapter!!

Maybe the system is trying to create its own anti virus. Jake the one who hunts the bugs from the early days of the system that still remain or maybe even threaten the system on some level.

TFTC

At least its not Friday

Christmas is canceled. no break allowed.

It has to be a crab.

Based on the flavor text, Jake is The Primal Hunter. He is the Origin of that race. My guess is he is naturally at least S tier or God tier.

Zog is doing what we do it the comments section lol

Still hoping for Jake to turn out to be some Primal or Primeval human variant

Feeding them to the nice cave for a few years still i imagine

Would be funny if jake evolves into a fish. His origin takes him so far back he begins to like the dreaded water levels.

And thats how galactic cores are made... is there actually anything similar to a world core that covers more than a planet?

All I'm going to say is if he decides to kill that weird karmic fuck, i wouldn't be upset

Well those hidden foes on earth better level up there stealth cuz jake needs some levels

Ra always pays attention to the chapter it is his path

I wonder if his "type" of humanity is related to the First Sage. He appeared completely human too

Good catch i didnt even think about that

No officer its hi human

I still say jake's bloodline is the shadow clone of THE primal hunter that got erased by smiley during the second era.

Okay like if you agree. Jake’s next big experiment should be using his Jake juice to upgrade the world core… hear me out. Can we all agree on this? It would be epic.

tftc!

Primordial human

Primordial human

High human it is

You know what, for that cliffhanger, no, I will not be making any guesses

Jakes evolution quest into godgood is to kill a primordial.

Starborne can range anywhere from B to S grade.

I wont say this is a cliffhanger. More like a steep hill. Its only Tuesday so plenty of time.

Interesting that this is just 1/1. It could have been The demon ritual, Jasper, Vespy, dragonsbane, etc.

Its his soul, is my theory, his soul is at the quality of a god, so maybe his evolution has nothing to add but the power to reflect so no quest needed? Which would mean he is a normal human contextually.

TYFTCCCC I’m waiting for Jake to never once get an evolution quest, as he’s likely “supposed” to be a god (or at least at that level or higher in some equivalent), hence why he doesn’t get affected by auras

"seeing as he was the first person Villy had ever heard about who didn’t get an evolution quest while evolving to C-grade" Shouldn't that be first ever human?

He's human still, but his bloodline is making him something more than a human. Because his brother doesn't (and wouldn't) have the same bloodline he won't get the same options

Thanks for the chapter! Wasn’t Villy’s conclusion last time that they would never speak of this again? He seemed to have a reason to not speculate with Jake.
