This must have been a head trip to write

ThoMiCroN

909% ?

ThoMiCroN

He should keep a journal of what happened before he entered his seclusion. He might forget who’s who later, even with his great memory.

ThoMiCroN

Where are the remains of the five-six other delvers that went there?

ThoMiCroN

He made made->has made* the decision not to track the time as it passed.

Kalmitrix

Great job author!!!!

nicolas

Didn't Freddy create an ability for his sharpnel attack ?

Gunmetalrhino

This was an extremely creepy chapter. I couldn't tell if there was a ghost or if it was all in his head.

Sean T

This is so creepy I love it. It's a different kind of tension that gets my heart pumping!

Khent Mercer

Well done sir.

BeanConsumer

Can tell that you put a lot of effort into this one, it’s absolutely fantastic and takes on this disturbing surrealist feel. I like it.

@Alphamoonman

I really felt The Jester of The Apocalypse in this chapter. But your writing has already improved so much from when you wrote those chapters that this 5-chapter chapter is supreme-quality in comparison xD

CrimZ0N

perfect chapter loved it

Teagan Symons

I wonder if the shadow will end up being another spirit ability? It’ll make getting to fourth star a very long grind though.

Random Guy

From the third one on you need to really meditate but even beforehand you have to survive quite a bit of shit to reach the third star not to mention gathering is quite difficult for those not rich and mighty Freddy merely has his scythe to speed shit up quite a bit. Or at least that was how I understood it.

Marquess

Really? I thought those difficulties only STARTED at third, and then continued into 4, 5th, ect.

Random Guy

Its suposed to be extremly hard to get to even the third star. Even reaching the second star is quite the acomplishment for the regular shmuck from the street.

Chibrahim

It sticks with Freddy's destiny. I think he will be even more radical in his mindset and river of bloods will flow when he thinks something fucked up

Chibrahim

Bloodshed sees Freddy more than a person, he sees him as a concept. An harbringer of death and blood

Robert Blaise

Its just not finished yet! His soul just can't handle any more abilities at the second star.

Mojanks

I might be missing something but what about that shrapnel orb attack? Was that not a technique?

atgongumerki

Yes, but only if you are stronger than me and only read 1 chapter worth of content from this beast of a chappy

Robert Blaise

It will come when it comes lmao. This chapter really took it out of me. Just it alone was already like 2.5x my usual weekly output. But, well, we'll see how I'm feelin' :)

LittleGarrett

What an absolutely amazing chapter, thank you for all the effort and passion put into that. I’ve never seen a solitude training “arc” be so enjoyable to read each part of growth felt rewarding and worthwhile as well as the mental aspects Freddy faced.

Bradley

Legend! This is how it's done!!

Marquess

Damn, too bad for them. Either they're hoping for crazy benefits when they attain their third star, or they got stuck hella' early.

Guy

What a beaut. Clever solution to not having him ascend to some weird unrelatable century-old hermit mindset: focusing on doing stuff and not on thinking. Very on-brand for Freddicus. I like that it's implied he's basically a grandmaster of his own body and combat style now, that'll be cool. Genuinely impressed he went an entire hundred years without making a new ability. But he wasn't really trying to think, so it checks out. Also, next chapter probably comes out today right? ^^

Petersaurus reximus reader

I’m confused by his skeleton asking him what’s wrong with going a little insane. Is there something more we’re meant to understand from that interaction?

Beeees!

Truly, shadow demon and bloodshed reaaaallly didn't help with that shit. And just when he was starting to fit back onto society a lil more. Lucas is gonna have a he'll of a job assembling the pieces back into someone who can truly interact with society

Chibrahim

He didnt even reach a peacefull mindset as you thought he would. He is just straight up crazy and he will be even worse socially. Not even the wise hermit kind of crazy !

Evaldo

Man, you did it. Now go to sleep, took some time to relax and recover. This chapter is a absolute masterpiece

Hazer0508

Absolutely amazing

Random Guy

I am quite sure that there are older 2 stars if I dont misremember the timeline,

Random Guy

well good luck if its the later xD

Redc05

I was thinking it as to do with capturing the spirits of thing that die in the water, or befriending the leviathan spirit

Brian

I agree! This was a very cool chapter that brought feelings of Freddy slowly losing it similar to Jester

DuskDeadman

Our boy damn near died, but he pulled through in the end! Can't wait to see the reward!

atgongumerki

the whole situation with the phantom feels like a reverse of 1st book Jester

atgongumerki

it's just another of his visual halucinations, totally in line with the chapter at whole

Robert Blaise

Nope

Fischer Price

Excellent chapter, can’t wait for the next.

Gio

I'm guessing the perished water is actually at level 3, 50% that's why it can't increase past 50%

Redc05

Really? 100 years and both perished water abilities got no increase?

Robert Blaise

I'm experiencing qi deviation

Marquess

Is the meadow perhaps the reward, or can he no longer return to Repentawa the way he came? Either way, he’s probably the oldest 2-star alive, by a long shot. That HAS to be worth something when he becomes 3-star, right? Ps: “Gore Knuckles: Stage 2—909% Progress (Ready to Upgrade)” Was this intentional or are you going insane too?

Lars de Tombe

crazy stuff, thanks for the chapter!

thaughton2

What a fantastic experience. I love the fact that even at the end there, you can't be sure if he actually finished. Maybe this is the next stage if there's still a visitor alive at the midpoint.

Robert Blaise

Completely impossible and yes that's a mistake lol. As you can imagine, editing a 15k word chapter is a bit of a nightmare 💀

Kai

He is always the overachiever Gore Knuckles: Stage 2—909% Progress (Ready to Upgrade) I know this is a mistake but can you get it above 100% in any way or is this completely impossible?

Chibrahim

Let's fucking goooo. Bro really lost his marble on that one

Gio

awesome chapter

Юрий Коненко

Honestly, lately I've been thinking about whether to renew my subscription or not, but after such a chapter and such a storm of emotions) The question is no longer there

Robert Blaise

Thank you very much :D

Юрий Коненко

Ця глава дуже класна♥️

Robert Blaise

You know how ya boy is. Even a mega chapter needs a cliff :D

Beeees!

Ok, that was definitely the most engaging and crazy chapter of this whole series. Our boy is gonna be a fucking machine when he gets out of whatever fresh he'll he just walked into

Zachary W Jensen

Thank you so much for this treasure of a chapter!

A_name4me

Why did you add the last part :c

Chris Fox

Love the mindfuck chappy

Logan
