Chapter 795 - Nevermore: Aura-Measuring Contest
Added 2023-11-22 11:37:42 +0000 UTCSometimes, you just knew you fucked up, and in that moment, Jake knew he had fucked up. Trying to get some petty levels of revenge on Eversmile by getting one over him had already been pushing it, and now Jake had effectively just rebuffed three presences of Primordials, as well as those of dozens of other gods, entirely on accident.
Instantly, Nature’s Attendant read the mood of the room and dispelled his soundproofing barrier, giving Jake the chance to apologize as he scratched the back of his head. “Ah, sorry about that; I reacted without really thinking.”
Yeah, that also wasn’t the best thing to say, as he had just told everyone he had effortlessly rebuffed them entirely accidentally. Jake was entirely expecting some kind of negative response, but then he saw that Villy was just smiling as he shook his head, seemingly not bothered at all. So, it probably wasn’t that bad, right?
The Holy Mother just retracted her own presence without saying anything besides giving Jake an inquisitive look, Valdemar temporarily doing the same as the Blightfather chose to speak up.
“I am beginning to get a better understanding of that power of yours after feeling it myself, especially after meeting and Blessing your friend from before the integration of the ninety-third universe. I was intrigued by how he, a mere E-grade at the time, managed to hold up so well before me, but if he was baptized by constant exposure to your presence, that would certainly be an explanation,” the Blightfather nodded with comprehension. “Quite a multi-faceted Bloodline you got there. If you ever feel like visiting the Ghostlands, you would certainly be more than welcome. You could maybe even go with that friend of yours?”
His words were both praise and sharing the fact the Risen also had some level of personal connection to Jake while also deciding to once more reiterate all Jake could do was rooted in his Bloodline. Along with that, he also publicly shared an aspect of Jake’s Bloodline he didn’t really think was that much of a secret, that being his ability to also increase other’s resistances through sheer exposure. Valdemar had kind of hinted at it, but the Blightfather pretty much stated it outright.
The final part – the invitation – was the only thing Jake would answer directly to. “I thank the Blightfather for his words, and I am certain I will visit the heartlands of the Risen one day.”
It wasn’t a lie, either. Jake would probably end up visiting most of the places of note throughout his hopefully eternal life, and the Ghostlands was definitely one such place. He just didn’t give any timeline as to when he would visit. It could be in a few decades or a few million years.
Seemingly thinking this answer was good enough, the Blightfather also retracted his aura, having said his piece. Jake thought his mess-up was finally over, only for him to realize it had only truly begun.
“You know, ever since seeing that battle in the Challenge Dungeon, ya got me curious about something,” Valdemar said in a loud tone as he stepped slightly toward Jake with a massive grin. “Prepare yourself!”
Jake barely had any time to react as Valdemar’s presence came back with full force. Instinctively, he once more reacted as his own flared to meet the challenge, the two auras clashing in an invisible battle. Instantly, Valdemar’s was getting pushed back again until he opened his arm wide, and the Primordial’s fighting spirit was triggered.
His eyes began to glow golden as a slightly golden luster appeared around his body. He was not using any energy, but the concepts of his Transcendence still bled into his presence as it pushed back at Jake’s with indomitable strength.
It was like an unstoppable force, capable of crushing anything in its path, and for the first time ever… Jake felt his presence getting pushed back as pressure descended upon him. He felt like a mountain was crushing down on him as his own presence shrank, Jake gritting his teeth as this reminded him of what had happened inside of the Colosseum.
And like the Colosseum, Jake did not back down as he retaliated in force.
The two auras clashed as an invisible battle took place. Valdemar was slightly pushed back by Jake’s release but stabilized just as fast, stopping Jake’s advance. Their two auras kept battling as an equilibrium was soon established, neither side capable of gaining any ground as each of their auras extended halfway to the other party.
Jake was both astonished and excited. He was equally matching Valdemar in a pure battle of presences, though if Valdemar decided to pour in just a smidgen of energy, Jake would instantly be crushed. However, the mere fact their two auras were equal was more than enough to prove one thing to everyone in the room:
His Bloodline matched the quality of Valdemar’s Transcendence. A Transcendence many recognized as potentially the most powerful one in the entire multiverse. Some of the gods present even failed to hold their poker faces as they displayed genuine surprise at the impromptu duel of auras.
However, things weren’t over yet.
“Hah!” Valdemar laughed loudly as he took another step forward, his body exploding in golden light, enveloping the entire room. His aura spiked several degrees as it washed over everyone, Jake included. With a grin, Jake took a step toward Valdemar as he met the challenge, his heart beating with excitement.
Thump!
A shockwave erupted from his own body as their two auras clashed one final time before both faded. The only two people standing in the room were Jake and Valdemar, as everyone else was either sitting down… or looked to be in quite a bad situation.
This was when he also understood why the poker faces of some gods had dropped… their clash in auras had put them quite on edge, many of them unable to take it. Even Eversmile was acting like he had been hit by a bus as he was kneeling while breathing heavily.
Needless to say, none of the Primordials, Minaga, or Nature’s Attendant had been affected. This didn’t surprise anyone… but Artemis was also fine, most assuming she had been protected by Nature’s Attendant somehow.
“Good! Good!” Valdemar said, looking extremely satisfied. “I like you more and more!”
“Likewise,” Jake smiled, having enjoyed the clash of auras more than he thought he would. It wasn’t like an actual fight, but it was a challenge nevertheless. A kind he had never had before, considering there was no one else who could match his presence in pure quality.
The atmosphere in the room calmed down as Valdemar looked approvingly at Jake for a few seconds before speaking.
“Eh, you should go talk to that old druid and your fellow hunter; I think you kept them waiting long enough,” Valdemar waved him off as he walked back to the Primordials, yelling behind him. “Oh, and do come visit Valhal at some time! Our beer is better than the Order’s, too!”
Jake smiled but neglected to answer. He didn’t have to be told twice to go and talk to the two from the Pantheon of Life as he returned to sit down with the Nature’s Attendant and Artemis on a sofa set. The old druid gave Jake a very interested look and an approving smile as he sat down. The isolation barrier was quickly summoned again, making Jake feel like he could talk without as much of a filter or having to consider that everything was being recorded and openly broadcasted.
“This sure is quite the gathering of gods, huh,” Jake muttered as something had been bothering him for a while. “Why exactly are there even so many here? Valdemar, I could understand, but what’s up with the dozens of gods who are seemingly just here as observers?”
“It’s because of you,” Nature’s Attendant answered. “At least partly. You made Valdemar come here, getting the attention of other Primordials, who then followed suit. With five gathered in one place, it is only natural it will attract the attention of most forces. And I am certain many are happy they came, as the show you put on just now with the Viper and the Wargod will have made the trip more than worth it.”
Jake nodded, considering his words for a bit. Yeah, that probably made sense. If a large group of the top world leaders on Earth before the system decided to have a meeting, you could bet your ass journalists and other interested parties would also show up to see what was up. Even their casual interactions would be gossip at worst and groundbreaking news at best. Plus, something did happen here. At least, it looked like it had. Two top world leaders had just gotten into a scuffle, after all, and were battling over a “resource.” The resource in question being Jake in this case.
“Show?” Artemis asked, looking confused, before she quickly gathered herself, seeming a bit out of it in general. She looked at Jake and lowered her head a bit. “No, wait. Before anything else, I should thank you for just now. I apologize if defending me leads to any trouble down the line.”
“No worries, no worries,” Jake waved off her concern. “I should be the one thanking you for what happened in the Colosseum of Mortals. Well, thanking your image, I guess, though based on Valdemar just now, there shouldn’t be that massive of a difference. Either way, I enjoyed the time together in there immensely.”
Artemis was taken aback at his answer as the tip of her elven ears turned slightly red. “I… I don’t believe there is anything you need to be thanking me for.”
“Oh, but there definitely is,” Jake said with a big nod as he smiled at her. “I’m talking about the archery training, of course. Wait, what were you thinking about?”
It took her a few seconds before her eyes narrowed. “You… no, never mind. Disregarding that, my image sure must have looked like an idiot with her whole speech about how you wouldn’t even be able to stand tall in front of the real me.”
“Eh, I found it more cute than dumb,” Jake shrugged. “It’s not like that wouldn’t be the case if I was pretty much anyone else. I just happen to deal with presences quite well compared to most everyone else.”
“That’s an understatement,” Artemis scoffed. “Also, what was that thing about a show you talked about earlier?”
Jake had purposefully avoided answering this one as he genuinely wasn’t sure if he should or could give a response without jeopardizing anything. Unsure, he looked at Nature’s Attendant, who seemed to be “in” on what was happening, as the old druid responded promptly.
“I will make sure she can’t leak anything even if she wants to. I set up this barrier with the expectation we would be talking about things best left unshared to the masses, so no worries,” Nature’s Attendant sent telepathically, sounding only slightly scary as he did so.
Artemis noticed Jake and Nature’s Attendant exchanged glances as she looked confused about what was happening. Jake finally sighed as he leaned back on the couch and looked at Artemis.
“This is quite a big secret that has multiversal implications, so keep it under wraps, okay?” he asked in a serious tone.
“Not sure I want to know now if it can get me in trouble…” Artemis muttered.
“Too late!” Jake grinned. “Anyway, the gist of it is that the entire conflict between the Order of the Malefic Viper and Valhal is mostly fabricated. That entire thing just now was also apparently just part of this bigger plot that I think is ultimately pointed at Yip of Yore. As for what it hopes to accomplish and the entire scope of the thing… I have no bloody idea. Nature’s Attendant probably knows more there.”
“And I have been very expressly told to not inform you of more,” Nature’s Attendant continued. “As your lack of knowledge makes you a better catalyst of chaos to introduce more uncertainty into this entire matter.”
“So there you have it,” Jake said, giving Artemis a beaming smile. “Just a plot involving a bunch of Primordials and a good segment of the peak existence of the multiverse. Kind of exciting, isn’t it?”
Artemis stared at Jake and Nature’s Attendant for a while as she sighed. “And I guess if I share anything with anyone, I will be killed?”
“No, of course not, what a silly notion,” Nature’s Attendant said, shaking his head before smiling teasingly. “You will be killed before you are able to share anything.”
The wood elf formerly known as the Lord of the Hunt just held her head and leaned forward. “I’ll just act like I never heard anything. Yeah, that’s probably best.”
“If it’s any comfort, I try to do the same, but I keep getting dragged back into things,” Jake shrugged. “This entire scheming thing is definitely way above my pay grade.”
“It sure would be easier if they could just fight it out and not make things so complicated,” Artemis sighed. “That’s why the nature’s way is so much better. Predators hunt prey, and prey sometimes kills the predator in return.”
“Nature also has natural schemers,” Nature’s Attendant said. “Plants or fungi who lay hidden for long, slowly growing in power. Predators stalk their prey for long periods to discover where the rest of their packs are. Beasts who take the shape of others mix into groups, only to eat them from within. But yes, I do agree that schemes like this are not aligned with the Paths of hunters like you two. You should still be able to take part in schemes when it benefit you, though. It doesn’t mean you have to initiate them; just be capable of performing as part of one.”
“Is this you low-key calling me out for being bad at playing my role?” Jake asked.
“No, I believe you played it extremely well. No one understands you, so you cannot truly act out of character as you have no established character. Plus, there is a high chance people assume any mistakes you make to be entirely deliberate, considering you are the Chosen of the Malefic Viper,” Nature’s Attendant shook his head.
“I definitely didn’t make any mistakes,” Jake nodded.
“Bullshit,” Artemis scoffed. “You constantly act without thinking and make needlessly rash decisions too quickly. Just from the recording I saw from the Colosseum, your reliance on instincts in battle bleeds into your way of acting outside of fighting constantly.”
“You’re saying that as if it’s a bad thing,” Jake smiled.
“I didn’t say it necessarily was. Not most of the time,” Artemis shrugged. “There’s nothing wrong with living according to your instincts.”
“Glad we agree on that,” Jake said, throwing her a look.
Artemis sighed as Nature’s Attendant chuckled slightly.
However, before any of them could say anything more, the soundproofing barrier around them cracked, and a second later, disappeared entirely, Jake feeling the energy of the Wyrmgod… no, the energy of Nevermore itself tearing it away.
“Considering you are a Nevermore Attendee, I will not bend the rules further. I also believe it would be unwise of you to waste more time here than necessary if you wish to continue competing on the Leaderboards,” the Wyrmgod spoke, nicely telling Jake to leave.
Jake took the hint as he nodded. “Good point. Let me get out of here; I do have a few more Challenge Dungeons waiting, after all.”
The Wyrmgod nodded as a teleportation circle appeared under Jake. However, just before he got whisked away, he heard several voices echo out in his head.
“See you when you do my super exciting labyrinth that you surely won’t ruin all the fun of!” Minaga said.
“Acceptable performance here, but now that you’ve shown yourself off so much in front of your little girlfriend, you better do well, or I am sure she and everyone else will be very disappointed,” Villy said teasingly.
And finally, the voice of the “little girlfriend” in question, Artemis.
“I will be waiting for when you come out of Nevermore to… discuss more private matters further. Good luck!”
--
After Jake had left, Valdemar was back sitting with the other Primordials and Minaga, a big smile still on his lips. The Viper had already set up a sound isolation barrier, making sure none but they could hear the conversation to come.
“What brings such a big smile to your face?” the Holy Mother asked after a bit, seeing as Valdemar hadn’t stopped grinning even after Jake was gone.
“He is just happy another strong human has emerged,” the Blightfather waved her off. “Not that I would blame him. He is quite an interesting specimen.”
“Heh… you really didn’t notice?” Valdemar asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Notice what?” the Viper asked, frowning.
“That I lost,” Valdemar said, clenching his fists as the other Primordials looked confused at him, making the god of war elaborate.
“Our auras may have seemed equal… but he was protecting that gal all throughout, not allowing a single bit of my aura to reach her, no matter how hard I tried.”

Great chapter

2024-01-02 13:28:29 +0000 UTCI agree, Jake has already shown the capability to do things even Villy has never seen. Now imagine what he will be capable of when he becomes a god himself.

2023-12-06 21:34:49 +0000 UTCMan I loved this chapter. Thank you.
OldCase
2023-12-01 21:03:34 +0000 UTCWhile your take is quite reasonable, I have to admit that I'm actually missing the whole wider circle of people around Jake. After his introduction into the order it was quite common to have side stories or different views from other characters, like in the last 2 chapters again. While Nevermore is fun, it feels very focused on Jake alone, maybe that's one of the reasons people look forward to the end of this arc.

2023-11-28 10:34:38 +0000 UTCI didn't get the chance to read the stupid entitled consumer comment that got deleted but i have a feeling i got the jest of it. He/she is probably the reason 90% of writers cut their stories short or go on permanent hiatus. This is definitely something i don't want Zogarth to do! When i get asked what my favorite t.v. show, movie, song, band etc. is, it changes from decade to decade or from mood to mood. This story however Is definitely my favorite story on RR or any similar site and from recent memory as far as i can remember. It has everything i want: OPM levels of OP, plethora of side characters and meaningful pov's to increase enjoyment and prevent MC fatigue. It has LitRPg element which gives a proper sense of growth, a quantifiable growth arc. It has "oh shit" moments in spades and it manages to make a goddamn villain force me to root for him *wink* Villy*wink*. So no Zogarth you don't need to rush, take your time relax enough so that you escape the ever present dreaded "hiatus" virus. Take plenty vitamin D and suntan so that i can see the conclusion of this story or a satisfying one as it was so far. Even if that conclusion comes in 2040. I am ok with that, it means i've read 17 years of pure gold from now till then!!! P.S. The only writer who managed to make me buy his book in post internet era and also made me read this novel about 7 times...

2023-11-27 18:01:50 +0000 UTCFundamentally the function of Nevermore is important, and I believe that’s what you’re talking about, which we are in agreement on. My personal concerns with this story arc is I have frankly felt it’s been filled with an unnecessary amount of “filler” and not enough “substance”. Significantly more than any other books in the series thus far. This isn’t to say I don’t support the author, on the contrary, I have purchased the books, the audible recordings, and vote for the authors success with my Patreon dollars. That said, much of the story of Nevermore, IMO, could have been delivered successfully in a much more condensed format while unpacking more of the substance and excitement of the story in tandem. What’s going on in the broader world, the experiences of the various characters, the excitement of Jake’s influence on/in the broader world and his unique experiences, is what maintains my interest. Nevermore has had some exciting jaunts into this territory, like this chapter, but less than it could or should, again IMO. I too am excited to see where this goes for as many years as it continues to be interesting. But the story can’t loose its compelling argument in the process to maintain interest.

2023-11-27 14:04:41 +0000 UTCIt’s not that I hate the arc, it’s that I’m also invested in seeing how the universe around Jake is getting along. My hot take is that I love the Miranda and Meira chapters over some of the boss fight chapters.

Michael Fannon
2023-11-27 11:21:19 +0000 UTCI also enjoy the Nevermore Arc. The world building has been awesome. The only thing I don't like and I think is most people's real gripe is the lack of a feeling of importance/ stakes. Its just been Jake and his friends playing a game trying to get a high score for bragging rights. I don't think anyone feels like Yip of Yore stands a chance of hurting Villy. Villy doesn't seem like he'd even loose out if Jake doesn't get the top score.
2023-11-27 08:31:19 +0000 UTCI thought he had a son?
Taj Malloy
2023-11-27 04:53:16 +0000 UTCQuality is worth waiting for. He earns whatever he makes by creating content that we eagerly consume. His success is earned by his talent and the story that he creates. My personal choice is that I will pay for the quality that he consistently produces. If you believe otherwise, that is your choice to no longer pay for a service that you find lacking.

2023-11-26 09:08:15 +0000 UTCI agree, I’m thinking more of the achievements when it comes to multipliers and the leaderboards. Definitely think he’s gonna break the labyrinth and criticize it
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-26 04:13:57 +0000 UTCThere's no reason for anyone to work 24/7, 365. Promise you everything he does already takes a helluva lotta time. Dudes allowed to have time for life lmao. Grow up and happily wait like the rest of us.
Nick Stanley
2023-11-26 03:58:35 +0000 UTCBro, he stated multiple times that there is no set schedule. He gave fair warning ahead of time. Plus he's allowed to take time off if he wants. How about your spoiled ass unsubscribes we don't need that entitled bs in our community

2023-11-26 00:26:23 +0000 UTCAnother possibility besides Eversmile faking his reaction to the Aura battle is that in order to hide effectively from other Primordials he has to power down his Avatar. I would assume that other Primordials would take a notice if some random god had a Primordial level power radiating from it. While Eversmile himself wasn't affected, his hidey avatar was affected.
JJB4345_80_815
2023-11-25 19:59:54 +0000 UTCIf Jake broke EVERY single Challenge dungeon, then that would diminish the achievement. While we as readers are rooting for Jake to be the best at everything, if he was perfect then he wouldn't be human/relatable. It's like how a pinch of salt enhances the taste of dessert. It gives better context. Now, that being said, I fully expect Jake to break Minaga's labyrinth and get a 25% bonus. I also believe that he's going to get a 20% achievement in one of the other challenge dungeons. The question is if he'll kinda sweep the rest of the dungeons. Knowing that Artemis is watching and Villy pointed that out, I think that we as readers are going to get one heck of a sugar rush from the rest of this ark. 😉
JJB4345_80_815
2023-11-25 19:30:20 +0000 UTCThis is what makes Zogarth such a great writer. We are meant to hate Eversmile while at the same time loving Villy even though both have the blood of innocents on their hands. In fact, during Nevermore there was an entire floor devoted to a Karmic curse disease that turned everyone into slaves which we find out Eversmile and Villy worked together on. The difference between the two is Villy has changed and grown. He can be redeemed. Eversmile is never going to change who and what (evil scientist) he is. He can't without destroying his own Path. It's even in his name! He can't stop smiling. He can't stray off the rigid Path he traverses, which means his personality will ever be fixed and therefore he is unredeemable. Zogarth amazes me in how approaches this.

Seen Death
2023-11-25 17:51:06 +0000 UTCHere’s my hot take on things: I like the Nevermore arc. I know people feel like things are slowing down, or the pacing isn’t right. Right now, characters are broadening their skill sets over increasing in levels and pushing forwards really quickly. When you think about it C-Grade is pushing higher, but there is still a long way to go. We’re following the full path of a human to (presumably) become a God. I’m along for the ride as long as the path takes
Quaternion
2023-11-25 15:36:34 +0000 UTCjakes origin manipulation, Erons pursuing endless life, and some other being jakes brings into existence that has crazy control and knowledge on souls in their hereditary knowledge, PLUS all the ground work the viper has made(hasnt been sitting on his thumbs for 50 eras) i could easily see them being revived later
Curtis Cairns
2023-11-25 14:39:03 +0000 UTC86 eras. It is heavily implied that Villy went on a rampage in the 7th era followed by his seclusion at the end of it because of what happened to his wife and son.
Myridex
2023-11-25 14:29:15 +0000 UTCSummary: i have no clue lol Long answer: it would be great for villy to get his loved ones back, but our knowledge on the whole scenerio is very limited. The viper was trying to figure out a way to ressurect them for like 50 eras? Which makes me think he does have their remains or something. We know they have monoliths dedicated to them but it was never specified if their bodies were ever recovered. Whoever killed them were successful enough to prevent every type of ressurection villy could think of, which makes me believe at the very least their souls were obliterated. If that is the case i think that would be outside of jake's ability to change.

Chloe
2023-11-25 05:18:22 +0000 UTCThey were there to throw conflict into Jakes secrets of both chosen and bloodline. That conflict was redirected out to the entire multiverse during his outing, they become a smaller background force hoping to get recognized in a better light
Tyler S.
2023-11-25 00:41:19 +0000 UTCI disagree with that, honestly don't think it's been wrapped up as Zog mentioned how they were scrambling to gift the Chosen of the Viper. I think it'll come back into play after Nevermore
CaptainFlowers
2023-11-24 22:28:28 +0000 UTCI hope the next chapter is Jake getting a ton of profession levels all at once. And all the gods watching becoming confused as hell as Jake suddenly powers up.
Michael Fannon
2023-11-24 20:34:12 +0000 UTCEversmile is definitely shady af. Dude exudes bad intentions
austin kutz
2023-11-24 19:31:21 +0000 UTCHe already didn't do so great in the last challenge dungeon. He didn't do poorly, but he wasn't even close to getting the best score
austin kutz
2023-11-24 19:30:06 +0000 UTCIt’s that he’s conducting experiments. There was a chapter about how many lives he’s ruined just so he could test out a social /genetics theory. Villy is a calamity akin to a natural disaster but Eversmile is that deliberate evil scientist. Logically Villy likely has killed more but emotionally I feel like Eversmile was slimier and thus more distasteful?
Zizawah
2023-11-24 18:17:54 +0000 UTCI’m thinking at some point is ability to transfer matter into energy will be used for Villys wife/daughter whoever he has an stasis to wake her up once he can master bloodline
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-24 16:31:31 +0000 UTCIt wasn't dropped it was wrapped up. They served their purpose in the story. I believe it was wrapped up with something like "they backed off and acted from the periphery instead of directly."
RiCarlo Woods
2023-11-24 16:01:41 +0000 UTCI think it would be waves like at Cape town... Just a lot more intense and having wills of their own. Also one side would have a sizzling sound (Valdemars trancsendance burning reality itself) and a heart thump on the other or heart beats in synchrony... Visually a faint golden and blood purple hue that clashes over them.. And a LOT more hue around poor Artemis who Jake protected. I think we should have gotten some hint in the dialogue of that actually happening from either of them not just after as a after thought. Was still cool as hell

2023-11-24 12:36:40 +0000 UTCOwww right TOTALLY frogot about them only now remembered when I was listening to the latest audiobook.
Ansordia
2023-11-24 12:32:00 +0000 UTCIt is rough but we will WEATHER through this!
Ansordia
2023-11-24 12:31:14 +0000 UTCWhy though? Eversmile is playing a part and he is a bit crazy but no more than Villy... Dude he killed TRILLIONS of people for nothing more than fuel for his path... Yea Eversmile made a spell to delete someone from existence... But still I think he only used it for the killer who killed the person The Viper was mourning.
Ansordia
2023-11-24 12:30:35 +0000 UTCReally hoping Jake brakes all the records of nevermore
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-24 07:59:33 +0000 UTCFilled with curses and gods domains just become the new challenge dungeons for him
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-24 07:54:43 +0000 UTCFeel like Jake is going to take a personal interest with what Minaga said at the end and break the challenge while criticizing the god.
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-24 07:53:04 +0000 UTCOh, that would be absolutely hilarious
Daniel Hamilton
2023-11-24 07:49:21 +0000 UTCpreach haha
BerciTheBeast
2023-11-24 05:08:59 +0000 UTCHonestly I'm a little surprised this didn't gain him any levels in his Heretic-Chosen profession. Either way this whole meeting mist have been great for Jake's records, even if he didn't need it. Might influence a future skill selection tho.

2023-11-24 04:12:32 +0000 UTCAw you poor innocent soul. No I meant Valdemar. The man had one goal in life. Swing his axe really hard and share the story of whatever he killed over a pint. The man that manages to almost have as much screen time as Villy. And if you see otherwise then you can face THE FANG OF MAN!!!! Yeah Valdemar's awesome.

austin kutz
2023-11-24 03:50:12 +0000 UTCActually i think it would be a funny end to this scene if on the way out Jake goes “fuck it, i already messed up, lets go all in”, then turns and casually goes “hey umbra,” who was actually hiding there the whole time
Timothy Scott
2023-11-24 00:58:32 +0000 UTCI think his bloodline is complete right now, but effectively gets more unsealed every time he ranks up

2023-11-23 21:17:00 +0000 UTCI cant imagine a mythical grade item being able to withstand valdy's full wrath- the stats might be normalized but his comprehension of aspects/trancendence would obliterate it. Jake alreay won at lvl 0, now its jakes turn to try again at valdys level (far in the future)

2023-11-23 21:12:50 +0000 UTCThere was a barrier up when valdy said that, so only promordials (+ minaga?) Heard it but yeah should be interesting haha

2023-11-23 14:05:45 +0000 UTCIf jake keeps supressing gods auras people may start to suspect that jake is actually Eversmile in disguise. While jake know Eversmile is one of the gods spreading that rumor.
Florian
2023-11-23 14:04:00 +0000 UTCIn regards to "years for rank ups" i think his normal standard is something like 1/5th of the time that an average person takes? There will be many time skips though: for example weve already skipped atleast 70 years in time dilation (sim-jake + identify resistance). Although the rest of the universe had less time pass, i think time dilation is still 1:1 in regards to his soul age. Time is something jake has tons of, and he also (tries/should) max his profession and class before rank ups (alchemy is generally time skip central). He definitely levels fast in comparison, but this -1/5th speed seems like a good combo between speed and quality gain imo. Idk how long it took an "average god" to acquire godhood to calculate about how long it would take jake to do it

2023-11-23 01:12:28 +0000 UTCHey just a random, kinda whiney question: so these challenge dungeons are gonna be their own book? Just several unrelated sub-dungeons within the already massive dungeon arc, with zero character interaction or stakes, while time doesn't pass in the "real" world?

2023-11-22 22:51:23 +0000 UTCJake's character probably would be against a trophy room, but I would find it hilarious if he had a stuffed T-Rex & a couple Lovecraftian monsters mounted on his wall. Again, he's not much for ego stroking displays which is probably why I would find it funny.

2023-11-22 21:16:32 +0000 UTCAll hail the mighty privacy screen. It has thus prevented the total collapse of Jake’s life. Although it did just sick 3, if not 4, primordials on his ass and a Minaga. Anyone else feel like complicated isn’t even in the same universe of word used the describe his life?

Bobby B
2023-11-22 19:08:14 +0000 UTCI honestly picture Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Jake just turns left and walks straight to the castle from finding the secret path.
Ty Cooper
2023-11-22 18:37:20 +0000 UTCHe has a realm with every type of terrain other than water. He will have respawned the best creatures he has ever fought in their home turf.
Ty Cooper
2023-11-22 18:34:29 +0000 UTCSo Jake tell us about any ladies in your life. Well there is this goddess of the hunt.
Ty Cooper
2023-11-22 18:31:05 +0000 UTCSo next is Minaga’s Labyrinth, followed by the House of The Architect and then Never Ending Journey, based on his chances of breaking them. Minaga’s is an easy high score, and the House of the Architect is energy control based, which is another easy thing with his bloodline.
Luke Scheffe
2023-11-22 18:30:14 +0000 UTCI generally just love Valdemar. He's simple and blunt but he isn't stupid. He knew better than to blurt out that Jake beat him but told his fellow Primordials... who more than ever I think really don't care all that much about their supposed rivalries. I think they all want to see Jake go far for their own reasons.
Chris

Matt Spratte
2023-11-22 18:09:09 +0000 UTCPretty sure never-ending journey is like some distance speed run, and think it said something about the house of the architect being about energy control? Could be just my theories though

Brandon Johnson
2023-11-22 17:36:39 +0000 UTCCan't wait to see all Jake got from that interaction! We can assume he will get the heretic-chosen levels. But how great would it be if he got the divine heretic title form beating Valdy in the aura match? In C-grade no less. Probably earning another title to that for c-grade. I can also see him getting another grand achievement % boost from the redacted test of character.

Ral
2023-11-22 16:00:37 +0000 UTCJake disapproves of her indoctrination more than the idea of the Holyland itself. I think even Jake would view the holyland as a noble pursuit, despite the fact that he himself would never want to get anywhere close to it. He's human enough to understand that for most people, just getting to live a peaceful life is all they could ever ask for. His problem is with the holy church *forcing* that kind of life on people, manipulating them to commit suicide, etc.

2023-11-22 15:32:20 +0000 UTCI agree with the previous answer. His lodge and the endless forest around it is what he calls home and I would guess you could call the divine realm of a god their home too. This explanation might be a bit shallow though..

2023-11-22 14:28:07 +0000 UTCI hope Meira "grows" and recognizes that it was simply a crush or something. She is totally unsuitable for Jake with her slave mentality going on. Yeah, she might be free now, but she won't be a good counterpart for that relatively passive and easygoing Jake

2023-11-22 14:08:56 +0000 UTCI'm amazed Villy didn't notice that bit during the clash of auras. This just goes to show once again that Valdemar is simple, not stupid. Thank You Zogarth for writing the best Primordial like this. Also happy Thanksgiving.
Darnell Maxwell
2023-11-22 14:05:35 +0000 UTCSee, some reviewers of this book say that they don’t like Jake cause he is unfeeling or not caring much. But he is, but only to those he care about (even just a bit). And that is what I love about him, he does not try to save everyone but be on his good side and he will be good to you. (Ex. Shielding Artemis)
Eiv
2023-11-22 14:05:12 +0000 UTCI’ve been thinking about how Casper kept trying to get Jake to visit the Risen’s city on Earth (idk what it was called, though I know it was mentioned once) before they yeeted themselves off the surface. I think he said he had something for Jake and also that Jake should bring his alchemy supplies. I hope that gets followed up on at some point, Jake and Casper have great banter and Casper’s definitely a favorite character of mine. Also what a good chapter and perfect lead in to the next challenge dungeons.
kry
2023-11-22 14:01:20 +0000 UTCShe basically knows that Jake disapproves of her and her Holyland on a fundamental level, and on the way they tried to take over. Other than the "earth-centric" faction, almost all of the crap after the integration was done at the behest of the Church so they could take over. The church also drove out one of Jake's actual friends.
Darthnarciss
2023-11-22 13:57:07 +0000 UTCI really hope Jake doesn’t actually end up with anyone monogamously. Or if he does it’s wayyyyyy down the road. I’m liking his very casual relationships he has right now, and I hope he can have some godly hookups. Also, tbh, I hope Meira falls out of infatuation with Jake. She seems too… gentle for him. He seems to go for very confident and straightforward women, and I feel it would be very out of character for him to pursue anything with Meira.

Michael Fannon
2023-11-22 12:57:02 +0000 UTCJake's going to get another 25% on Minaga's dungeon, right? He's going to do another impossible showing, right? Anything less than 20% in his dungeon will be seen as a failure by Jake. I'm kinda interested in what the House of the Architect and the Neverending Journey are about and how the Neverending Journey differs from Minaga's labyrinth...

2023-11-22 12:56:38 +0000 UTCI'm not sure if the reward is strong enough, but I'm pretty sure that a few primordials can see it upgraded enough.
Michael Fannon
2023-11-22 12:55:47 +0000 UTCI’m surprised the holy mother didn’t try to go tid for tat with the blight father. She didn’t even talk to Jake which was a little surprising. But loved all the interactions and glad Jake and Artemis got to meet in person. Good luck with your Move Zog!

2023-11-22 12:55:36 +0000 UTCTotally evil thought but when the books catch up can u end one last chap and have people wait for this amazing chapter with wicked laughter
John Looney
2023-11-22 12:54:35 +0000 UTCNope Jake's bloodline is the origin of humanity as it was said Jake is more human than humans.
Precursor
2023-11-22 12:53:53 +0000 UTCI think that with all the girls being used to Jake's presence, she would be welcome there without worry of her being a god. Jake is going to end up with a harem rather he wants one or not at this rate. Least the Sword Saint can give him some helpful advice.
Michael Fannon
2023-11-22 12:53:22 +0000 UTCJake is definitely flirting there quite well. Jake has grown quite a bit from forgetting to tell his people his name. But poor Meira.

2023-11-22 12:50:09 +0000 UTCThis chapter made me want to read the series again to be able to wait for the next chapter. Well done zogarth

2023-11-22 12:49:51 +0000 UTCSo effectively.....Jake is a Honey Badger in front of a pride of lions right now. He aint heard no bell.

2023-11-22 12:49:17 +0000 UTCI guess I'm thinking in line of how many years of story we have left. I can't see every grade having significant time in it. I even think this battlenwoth Yip will catapult both Jake and Villy in power
Jaydan Man
2023-11-22 12:44:42 +0000 UTCNext chapter has to be a POV chapter from eversmile and the other gods....and Artemis

2023-11-22 12:40:13 +0000 UTCAwesome! Just utterly awesome! Thanks for the chappy, man! I thought that the Blightfather and Holy Mother would take more offense, but it was great being proven wrong. Valdemar and Artemis should start up their own Jake Thayne fanclub. I'm also glad that the Wrymgod shortened the scene so we can get more God TV reactions and move the story along. I wonder how all of the MERE non-Primordial gods are going to handle getting their presences kicked in the teeth by a FULLY protected C-grade. If ya can't squish 'im, treat 'im like royalty! Two Primordials within minutes of each other offering Jake a tour, presumably guided, of their lands for a C-grade doesn't happen very often I would assume. Enjoy the break and keep the awesomeness coming when you return!
JJB4345_80_815
2023-11-22 12:39:24 +0000 UTCPart of me hopes the minaga dungeon is just, like, a paragraph about Jake speed running it to set a new all time high score followed by a chapter or two of all the gods ragging on minaga while Jake breaks his dungeon wide open.
Malth
2023-11-22 12:38:50 +0000 UTCEversmile is probably beside himself with joy from a research standpoint, despite his recent thoughts on Jake overstepping himself. Jake fucked up his original plan with William and the tutorial but he’s a factor never before seen and who knows how things will turn out when Jake is involved.
Malth
2023-11-22 12:36:53 +0000 UTCThis is literary crack to me. I need this week to be over now.
Namorat
2023-11-22 12:31:54 +0000 UTCGreat chapter. Jake subconsciously protecting Artemis without realizing it, and successfully against Valdemar, very interesting. No wonder she wants to discuss private matters futher. Have a good weekend, and may the underwater trial dungeon that is moving be suffered through quickly.

2023-11-22 12:28:00 +0000 UTCEversmile will think thrice and once more before fucking with Jake in the future

2023-11-22 12:23:00 +0000 UTCA weak one not focus on battel he will be abel to kill at the beginning of S grade i think do to all his titels an the bloodline that will then be way more monsterous
Ivo Wißen
2023-11-22 12:22:54 +0000 UTCI think he might be able to hunt low-tier gods consistently at High S-grade. I'd like to think he would be capable of it if he goes all out at a High A-grade but the sheer stat disparity makes me think otherwise, then again if he can unleash his currently sealed bloodline alongside the last stand mode he used against Valdemar by then, there's actually a pretty good chance since even at the level he was at he was able to temporarily steal control of the area in which the fight took place from Wyrmgod.

2023-11-22 12:21:23 +0000 UTCJake himself said that he wouldn't have been able to do anything if vlad used even a smidge of power with his aura. I don't see him fighting any gods in the next few millennium if that's the case. One day though I'm sure.

Jana
2023-11-22 12:19:00 +0000 UTCYeah. But l ok think that being a should come with a certain mentality? Like the loss of humanity and gaining of godhood in LotM.

2023-11-22 12:18:58 +0000 UTCTyftc I'm so glad that we had a nice sloping hill at the end of this chapter. I'd be so sad if I had to wait 4 days after a brutal cliff. I barely made it to today after yesterday's cliff.

Aladanor
2023-11-22 12:06:18 +0000 UTCI'm not sure the box would hold, but the prize he got from the coliseum brings stats to base. So he should be able to fight him in there

Victor Augusto Dantas Ferreira
2023-11-22 12:03:04 +0000 UTCThe fact that he now has a second primordials as an almost unquestionable ally just because Valdemar is a simple guy is so good. I really like characters like Valdemar
Kurai
2023-11-22 12:02:34 +0000 UTCOh Artemis is locked in now. Tftc!! Also I pity any God who comes for Jakes head now. Valdemar will obliterate anyone who tries before he has his rematch with Jake🤣
Chase Koehn
2023-11-22 12:02:22 +0000 UTCI think in theory he could, but the disparity in stats make it impossible. Maybe when he's in A grade he could, but not any lower is what I think.
