This was a fantastic chapter. Honestly this series is amazing. I did not expect that my favorite “candy” read would turn out having Nietzche influence and done in such a subtle yet perfectly foreshadowed way! I was blown away dude. Yet you really captured I feel like the essence of insanity. Which is more or less revealed horrifying truth. Now as a Christian I obviously feel like there is an antidote for that, but I LOVED this chapter. And seriously cannot wait for more.

TFTC! Finally! Finally Freddy is maturing a bit and gaining some perspective on life. Kill all the “rich” people you want but they are no different from anyone else. they just have power.

Marquess

My personal guess was that essence was the result of mutated radiation. The way certain materials seem to “create” essence, and that it’s consumed and produced seemingly from nothing, while also being everpresent feels similar to background radiation. When I first heard of Tzekenite, my thoughts went to how similar it was to uranium.

Kronos

Oh I’ve definitely done it before too haha. For the record, I try to help proofread pretty much every Patreon I sign up for, hoping it helps make edits easier.

Robert Blaise

It's hard to catch these details while writing a chapter. It's like "word exhaustion". Perception gets tired and you just stop spotting obvious things. But I do fix it all up when I get a fresh look at chapters :)

Kronos

Tftc! “Italy twisted and expanded into a vast bridge between Europe and Africa. The Vast Pit of Columbia opened. The Eye of Europa formed—a vast, circular wall that trapped all of Ireland, United Kingdom, Belgium and Netherlands, and cut deeply into Germany, France, and a bit of Denmark and Norway. Then, within those walls, the sea suddenly drained.” Suggestion - maybe use a synonym for vast lol

HUAAAANG

Void is the horizontal counterpart of abyss. "Void of space" means expanse of space. It is indicating size.

Nyroe

It's clear that earth isn't unique, but what I am wondering is if Earth and it's people are even 'real' anymore. I think I just don't have a good understanding of interspace, I was under the assumption that anything in the interspace was a dungeon of sorts - meaning that earth is just a really advanced, probably high level dungeon that no outer powers has found or raided yet.

Guy

Hmmm. The chapter seems to imply either essence comes directly from the superbeing's corpseblood, or the conceptual force that drives essence generation comes from it. Regardless, that makes essence/vestige manifestation sound a lot like, well, shedding blood. Bloodshed, some might say. And the absorption thereafter would then be stealing life, or lifesteal, so to speak.

atgongumerki

earth being anything but unique was clear ever since the square-eyed people entered the story, was it not?

Nyroe

If Earth itself is just another random level in the interspace, is there a even true 'real' world anymore? Maybe the interspace isn't a multi-versal deal and it just cuts out the boring parts of travelling the universe, making every interspace area a bubble of a shattered universe.

Compendium

Nah, see the space around earth is unimaginably vast even with it being contained in a dungeon realm. Insanity took him to that specific edge to make him see it and refused to explain for his own reasons lol

Guy

Lovely bit of crunchy worldbuilding. Insanity was fun and not too overdone; funny that Fredward's big epiphany seems something like "to have crazy levels of power, one must live in a crazy world." Makes sense though, I dig it. Also, Earth being a planetary dungeon is fun. I suppose everything is at the crossroads of order and chaos. Makes you wonder if it'll get its own delvers farming the abundant mobs though.

Damian

Wow... These last two chapters are on another level. My beenie is off to you Mr. Blaise.

Caliban42

Not what I was expecting, I thought we’d get “well done for surviving the dungeon here’s a reward” Not tea with nyarlathotep and being forced fed unspeakable truths. Epic world building and storytelling.

thaughton2

Danger, danger! Lore bomb has dropped!

Robert Blaise

That's... Actually now that I think about it I'm not so confident that I'm correct 💀. This is a fucky one.

Evaldo

"Cosmic monstrosity casually walks by" - Insanity, with a surprisingly sane list of priorities: We don't have time for this, moving on

Tryptic

I don't think that Its changes to It's just because it's capitalized. Its correct form... it's probably still "Its"

Robert Blaise

Actually, that was intentional. Do notice that "It" is capitalized.

Robert Blaise

WHOOPS MESSED UP BAD LOL 💀💀💀

Robert Blaise

That's odd. Hold up.

Tryptic

Very nice conversation with insanity, heh. But did you know... Somewhere in this chapter there is a single "it's" that should be an "its"

Marquess

LORE! PRAISE BE, THE LORE! With that said, damn this chapter was amazing. Insanity, the fact that *earth is just another portal world*, the potential limits of power… 100 years well spent! And next time: spirits!

Ray

What a great chapter

Gio

100k wet hells time, though that might be too much. Maybe he'll have to get 50k wet hells and upgrade it once it gets to level 3, 50% mark to 100k wet hells. Or just go with 100k wet hells, he'll probably survive if he only activates it only for a second while bloodshed is doing a genocide. Though, questions about how to upgrade his unique affinity abilities might be more important. Or questions about how to get a perished water body tempering ability.

Thomas Cardenas

Your patron might be screwy. I have access to this at $3 and not some of the previous chapters

VioletSummit

The issue is that if you say "the void of" with anything else, it means the absence of. The void of joy would mean you're miserable, the void of the self would be everything besides that which is you, the void of waffles would be the gap of existence that bridges all space separating waffles. Really the "void of space" should refer to the nucleus of a lead atom or something, but here we are. (Blame the Millennial Mage series for my death on this hill)

Chibrahim

.

Random Guy

Or "the vast void of space" as the vast void inherent to space. Then it makes sense

Beeees!

Yoooooooo, crazy to see how much the world was changed. Also, it's upgrading time!!!!!! Lfg. Mark is absolutly not ready after like 2 hrs to face 3 star freddy

VioletSummit

Haha I know it's common parlance, just a personal peccadillo. Keep up the great work!

Virken

Your progress in story telling since jester is profound. I couldn't say exactly why, but i can just tell while I'm reading that this is quality. Keep on keeping my guy

Alex O'Connor

Thanks for the chapter

Robert Blaise

I used void of space to not confuse it with just "nothing" :D

copperspike

holy shit

VioletSummit

Awesome chapter, but I hate the phrase "void of space"! 😆 The void of space would be the absence of space, and space is where there's the most space!

Mayukh Joshi

Ooh boy this is gonna be good. Can't wait for the next update, great work as always Robert! 💯😀
