I thought he was gunna use wings to escape

joel southard

Thank you for the chapter

Josie

I just realized this would be an absolutely hilarious moment for Jake to dig in his inventory, pull out one of SS's fan art paintings from Nevermore, and go "Look here. In the multiverse the undead and living find a way together ❤." Sorry, Casper & Jacob. We're trying to pursue world peace 🤭🤭🤭

Geoffrey

The logical course of action is to momentarily put aside the animosity and each race to send a representative of roughly equal power and prestige with Jake to attempt the boundary crossing

Gabe Stankiewicz

Oh man, that bigass sea snake is 1000% going to show up and threaten to smack down some fools a little bit after Jake scratches the back of his head and apologizes for all the trouble he’s caused, AGAIN. 😂😂

Jaroslav Zapadlo

I just like how you wing it, Dutchie

Thank Villy they have no idea what Bloodlines are or that he has one. I could definitely see a fool trying to enslave him for some new creations.. or babies. And Villy would lose his shit again bc he can't go Desolation of Snake on them

Matthew Monroe

Or his evolution was to die and become records... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Matthew Monroe

So random thought...maybe the 1st sage did need to die as he was stuck in C grade. If Jake has a harder time leveling bc of his boons...the 1st sage with his 99 transcendent skills but godhood ain't 1, wouldn't be able to gather enough worthwhile records during the 1st Era to evolve/level up. So die and passing his records off to let them propagate and grow through time is how he will be able to evolve/level up maybe?...

Kaladin

May we next meet when twin worlds breathe. - A Sage

brjenness

ok...your bringing very strong b grades into your universe. how do you explain the rules? Just don't kill anybody or destroy anything without checking with me. shaman is refused entrance into a community. frog says, "please give me a minute to check with jake thane and see if I should destroy your city for this insult." "ohh...you know the chosen. come on in. are u one of his creations?"

brjenness

and a snake and one other.

Kaladin

So he will bring the archweaver and the shaman out of the boundary because it'll be limited to B grades?

Nerd search

I was definitely expecting something like: Jake: “Hey, what’s that over there.” *unseen hunter activates*

Bruno D. Alvim

So A grade is from lvl 500 to 749, and S grade from 750 to 999, right? (if 735 is almost peak A grade)

Lemonsqueezy

Villy said that in this chapter that once one of the beings leave that the border will drop.

Lemonsqueezy

It is like being really friendly to a relative so you can be in their will.

Lemonsqueezy

Villy has a skill/power that allows makes it where once Villy knows something it can never be forgotten. Not even the System or Eversmile can make him forget something. With this knowledge I believe it is safe to assume that Villy likes to just know things. I also disagree with Villy not being a social butterfly. He seems to love to talk and get to know people, he also likes to prank, tease, and make fun of people. What better way to mess with someone than to get to know them. He has also never shown any ill will towards any faction, people or belief system. The other fact about Villy is he is known to lie, cheat, and use people to get what he wants.

brjenness

I think zog spelled it out in the ama the other day.

Jason

Just wanted to say I think this is the first time we've ever seen a level number from an A or S grade. I've been assuming the breaking points were 350, 500, 750, 1000 (godhood). Sounds like maybe that's it.

Quantainium C

I doubt they can leave the boundary until the universe is either fully integrated or capable of supporting so many A grades. System fuckery will generally keep things balanced for the home team.

Ra

Well then what's the alternative? All out war? If that will happen regardless, why not try?

Josie

"people tend to be a lot more interesting to explore than mere places" See, if this were someone else I'd hear a social butterfly telling us he likes to gab and learn about people but the Malefic Viper finds the mass majority of people beneath him and I'm pretty sure he's just saying he'd rather lounge around burping up the Records of his latest meal 😅

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter!

Kireina

The Venusians still assume there is only one universe outside with S-grade records and beyond so when they learn it's just the early B-grade 93rd universe beyond their burning desire to leave asap will fade

Gator1

I don't think he is too scared. It feels like he likes and dislikes both sides about the same. Both sides hate eachother for what they are. Jake doesn't hate anything in the multiverse like that save a few. To me he's just kind of there.

brjenness

zog announces spin off crossover series.

brjenness

jake leads the small group through the boundary. he loses contact with villy. senses he's not in the milky way. a human and a draugr appear before him wielding axes and offer to teach him how to sit in caves pondering the beauty of the universe and how to use it to blow shit up. or a guy that invites him to go fishing. or a scary rooster. or a spearman with green hair. or a. bunny that offers to teach him how to cook. or a dude with a broom or a guy and his golem. villy senses jake gone but he returns seconds later with weird new powers.

CJ King

Thank you for the chapter

Lazy Dragon

That would be fantastic. I imagine Miranda, exasperate as always, trying to figure out how Jake got a bunch of A grades to help him out.

doctordirt

Well it actually is because of the mental manipulation they got a good amount of information from it

RonGAR

"An attack will risk harming the one from beyond the boundary." -- That line or something very similar, must've been said 10x from each side this chapter. LOL

Yiskah

It's funny Jake is all nervous being surrounded by people who could destroy him without any chance to stop them. When that is literally the default state for 99%+ of the population of the multiverse at any given time. He's been less nervous when surrounded by literal scores of Gods because he knew they had to play nice due to politics. Interesting to see him experience what most people go through all the time.

tigerfishie

Tyftc!

SirbBrownFluffles

We know that Jake can give out blessings kinda willy nilly based on giving one to Scarlet back when they first met and she was a higher grade than him

ABTelford

I like that the Venusians assume Jake told all that stuff to the nestmother because of the mental manipulation skill, but mostly it was just Jake spilling the beans because he wanted to. Lol! I love the misunderstandings that people run with in this series, it’s always so fun!

ABTelford

Yeah! Let’s have Mr anti-social come into the midst of delicate negotiations! What could possibly happen? Hahaha!

Emil Sørhus

That works absolutely, but you can just think that 1 meter is roughly a yard or around 3 feet. It's at least close enough that I can picture sizes when things are in feet and socks 😁

Michael

can Jake just beam Villy's blessings to anyone basically? Even A grades?

GuyManGuy

I feel like it's definitely gonna end with Jake bringing representatives around his level from atleast the frogs, snakes, and spiders to the system event

Loststar7

You’re right. Things are getting interesting very fast.

As an American I don’t use the metric system much. Our preferred unit of measurement is bald eagles or incoherent ramblings per presidential speech (I admit that it’s not a perfect system but hey— at least it’s also corrupt!). But I do know that I’m just under 2 meters in height. So when you say the Battle Toad had a four meter cleaver I just picture me grabbing on to another me while being swung by a bigger me 😂😂 #murca

djthomp

Diplomacy time, Jake, you can do it!

brjenness

Lightning danger noodle.

brjenness

Will venusians be considered natives of 93rd? Maybe no restrictions

Samuel Nelson

TFTC! I love how you use the comments to add into the story. Like shutting the theory of teleporting to the Order.

beeve

Hahahaha

brjenness

If we hit stretch goal, extra chapter on saturday?

CocoaBleu

Imagine the Venusians surprise when they realize that humans actually DO have a face… lol TFTC

Villy said evilly!

Michael

With the current restrictions on 93rd universe what top levels can enter now?

mucky 12

Truly the best training he coupe have gotten before the event. At least, I think I remember one of the tests will be political stuff.

Corvid

I'm just waiting for his beefy arm danger noodle apostles to come slithering in like the best part of that badger song from forever ago. Spider Spider Spider Frog Frog SNAAAAAKE! SNAAAAKE! Oh it's a SNAAAAKE!

Rewdan

Cheers Zogarth I’m loving this.

Vega

Jake has really been flexing his diplomacy skills during this arc, it’s fantastic. Mentioning Villy and subtly threatening them with this higher being backing him, making plans to teleport factions forcing his hand directly into the Order (plan falling through or not, it’s still a good plan if it were viable), keeping his cool under the Arachnecs, and now entering negotiations with both factions. Well done, Jake!

Lucas Fialho

One snake + One Venusian + One arachnech as exalted prima budies?

Tomer Yud

I love the last chapters :) cant wait for more!

Morazain

Nothing like faction warfare negotiations.

AfroMocha

Prob be easier to bring people to the the minor world then bring people out

TFTC :) Suggested edits: “But *that’s* the plan now?” should be "what's" " unleashed should it *be* necessary. *And* if it did, even if the" should be "become" to make the next sentence make sense grammatically. Also sentences shouldnt start with "and" so ditch that. "the *prisoner dead* and a *slaughter ensuing*, crushed beneath the overwhelming" feels like you should switch the slaughter and the prisoner parts because the end of the sentence refers to the prisoner not the slaughter. "A-grades discuss something *in* far above the Nest," extra word or you are missing "the air".

Rob Lyon

I definitely think Jake is going to end up taking a B grade from the venusians and the arachnic and and probably the sea serpent with him and do some introductions he'll probably introduce the spiders to Casper or someone from the blightfathers group and take the other two to the order

Rob Lyon

I have a feeling that this is right I don't think the A grades can leave the boundary yet because they are too strong so I do think Jake will eventually end up taking a B grade from the venusians and a B grade from the arachnic and probably a B grade Tide to the sea serpent with him or he'll take the a grades out of the boundary and then instantly bounce them to the order

Rob Lyon

I definitely expect to see the sea serpent show up and to tell both other groups to fuck off because Jake is a snake

BlackRazaras

Thanks for the chapter

Rob Lyon

I don't really think they did it maliciously I think it's just part of her path so I don't think Jake will have a negative reaction to it

Seen Death

Thinking more about it, im not sure how friendly jake would actually want to be with the undead spiders I started off kind of liking them, but trying to manipulate jakes mentality/actions on their first meeting is kind of taboo I dont really blame them, theyve been doing this for a long time But still, messing with jake is one of those things most people usually only get 1 chance on

Naotani

Ok, here is my prediction: Jake goes up, it goes back and forth ending in a stalemate until a 3rd party, a certain A-Grade Seasnake, arrives. It recognizes Jake as the best buddy of the origin of all that is sassy snake and gets a nice little blessing for its efforts to help.

John Durrett

Lol. Early morning eyes - I read you sentence first as... looks like my "precious" was a little off. hhaha

John Durrett

tyftc. Correction maybe “But that’s the plan now?”, Is this meant to be "But whats the plan now?" The first one doesn't make sense to me @Zog

Collector of Stories

My theory is the the same rules that limit the rest of the multiverse from invading the 93 also apply to the minor world. Meaning only early B-grades can leave the minor world and as universe opens eventually they all will be free to go as they want.

Loststar7

Thanks for the chapter and congratulations on how well the kickstarter is going, kicking ass in those stretch goals. Happy Thursday all and I’m going to guess next chapters cliff is going to be rough 😂
