Yay! Please tell me he calls the Soul Flame Sparky or Flamey or something equally original! ;)
Wren Redwood
Evil fungus is also my pet theory. It would be peak
Greg Alverson
Pretty sure they would sell flr a great deal extra because Jake made them, just like his teaching lesson, even a small karmic link does something
Parker Bond
Seemed to quick should be Seemed too quick
Sinful Cyanide
Couldn't Miranda just sell the potions to other worlds as an export if it's affecting the local industry that much? I feel like Miranda mismanaged this.
KyoDaDungeon!!
You telling me you can't get rid of it with the Primordial Church plus others like them as a novelty and not crash the market

Honestly I think its coming in B grade or maybe another few hundred chapters in A grade, but I agree he will call in his favors and whoever his opponent is will not be ready for ir
ZanSanCho
Thats the best, most viable theory about this whole thing ive seen yet. Outstanding work!
ZanSanCho
Tftc Zog!

Definitely think the mystery faction is Eron and the elusive Dao sect. Eron's said the "we are one" thing before, he can now recreate life without a truesoul, the daolord stole control of nevermore to talk directly to Jake after Jake beat the fist monk, and Eron's been saying he needs Jake to complete his immortality project. Jake needs to give Eron's journal over to Villy so the Viper can connect the dots
Morazain
At last.
Tamathon
Man. If Jake ever needs help defending Earth he’ll have Demons, Vampires, The Endless Empire, the Court of Shadows, the Pantheon of Life, the Risen, etc. I’d love to see him send out a call to arms and watch all his nay sayers look around like “wtf.”
graham
As he should. I never want this story to end. I want to draw every single part of the story out that can be. This man can deliver a story like no other, why not get every interesting part? I want to read this book for the next 20 years honestly. Never stop Zog 🙏🏽😁
John Kornegay
So good, so damn good.
Ryan Haywood
Bro milking c grade for everything it’s got
Bmax
Fuck! Soulflame!
joel southard
Thank you for the chapter
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Justus Saucedo
No the flame is from the jar it's to change is Alch flame skill to something more suited to his affinity. Remember that jar he got a long ass time ago i think it was either during Nevermore or right after that he got that item to give him a chance at one.
That one, right there.
I am torn, I want Jake at B grade but I also want a chapter on the discription and to fuckery he did
Klown Keidra
I have one of his early works, aged beautifully for two eras.
brjenness
are there people with basements full of potions? here you will see my Jake thayne collection. I've got a year 2,332,456 654 healing potion and the 2,332 456,653 stamina potion ...
Duckhook
There is no way it is supreme quality this is Jake. It has got to be a higher rarity just for the lols.
Collateral_ink
I have no evidence for this, but I really want the mystery faction of dead gods to all be puppets of some kind of soul fungus Bound God in the Mycotic Abyss that wants to use Jake's special sauce to escape Bound God status. Mostly I want this because it would be hilarious for Jake to get the chance to shout, "See! Mushrooms ARE all evil!" at Villy
Coramoor
he probably has max lifespan already considering he's something like pure vitality and we know that vitality impacts how long someone can live to get through the grades
AntiqueCynic
Any chance you've got a chapter number for the lazy among us?

Jake Atwood
I think Eron and vespy are the only one who even have a chance at higher odds of god tier from an outside perspective
Fyrtue
Just went back to read Albaromoz's lesson. I'm so hyped for tomorrow I can't wait.
Cory Smith
My infant daughter is sleeping my chest while I read… pure happiness.
SeaSmoke
Comma between records and spawned perhaps
Eden
Hype time
DeAndrea H
“So what? I’ve killed humans. You’re not special.” -Draskil, probably
JW Saxby
Heck yeah 👍🏼 keen as to hear more about him finally getting that Supreme Arcane Soulflame 🤩 Tyftc 🍻
frotes
lol pots for all
Daniel Brian
Yeah, almost definitely connected to Eron.
Azayrian105
“Cerulean Demon Prince who’d successfully absorbed the full Records spawned rumors of the Cerulean Devil’s return.” I am not sure here but “successfully absorbed the full Records spawned…” sounds awkward and I think it needs to be corrected.
Madcats4
Soulflame!
Shadowessence
My bet is Aaron, somehow. His whole one spark thing!!! And I cant wait for the next chapter
Luke Scheffe
I’m assuming Eron is the most favored? Nearly unkillable genius, incredible insights, and a member of the Dao sect, which means he’ll concentrate on concepts earlier allowing him to get ahead. A lead that would be lost if people knew of Jake’s Sacred skill.
That one, right there.
Wonder if he applied Jake juice to his flame?
Sarianne
Ohhh, that's a mean sentence to end the chapter with, so glad we have an other one before the weekend
Tristan Lewis
Imagine waking up randomly in the personal realm of the Malefic Viper lmao. I almost feel bad
Xander
You frown with your eyebrows. Eversmiles smile doesnt reach his eyes since its not really a smile but more of a riktus grin.
C0bra$
Thank u for the story
Abhishek
This chapter seemed like it gave a lot of info but actually nothing of substance. Zog is a genius.
Raïssa
You should apply for beta reading if you're not already one, try The First Defier for his next release.

WHAT IS THIS CLIFHANGER
Xander
Im going to go out on a limb and say we will find out about this tomorrow :)
Xander
TFTC :) This part isnt a correction, more of a thought. It would seem to me that the "rubber band" effect, as described in this chapter, is more of a "sliptream" like in motor sports. You gain an advantage if you tuck in behind another car because they are doing the hard work of pushing through the air and they leave a zone behind them that is lower pressure and thus easier to move through. Similar with this, Jake and the others are leading the way by bulling through events and barriers and, if you can stay close, you can benefit from this, but if you fall too far behind youre on your own again. The rubber band analogy would seem to say people are being dragged forward rather than taking advantage of easier going. Just my thought. Suggested edits: "The Demon Prince had already *just been* a single step behind" should be "been just" though i would possibly reword to "The Demon Prince was only a single step behind..." same meaning and better flow. "of the most publicly recognized *features*. " did you mean "figures" here? "but *whom which gods were looking on* with interest." needs rewording. "but upon whom the gods interest fell" maybe? or "but upon whom the gods were looking with interest." "the one most gods would rate *the most likely to achieve godhood successfully.*" repetition of "most". reword to " ...most gods would rate with the highest likelyhood of achieving Divinity" "other *factions aware* had started" i feel like this should be "aware factions" "letting out a silent scream before turning entirely *silent*." should be "still" since the elf was already silent. "the *soul of* the elven god’s soul dispersed" either this is excess or the first "soul" should be "substance" or similar “It *still* started when he got that damn Soulflame...” should be "all"? Also Lillian knows jake has a soulflame already and knows when this all started so this sentence is a bit too much of the "As you know..." trope for me. Maybe "I swear, since he got that bloody Soulflame..." would leave the audience on the same shock and avoids the trope.
Samuel Jones
Oooohhh, I'm looking forward to the rampage this would cause
DaMule
I am oddly excited for tomorrow’s post
Daniel Golding
Eversmile and Villy headed down the road, blasting Metallica. Villy complains to Eversmile that he's too old for this shit. Eversmile unable to resist the mystery.
Daniel Golding
Eversmile is like the guys who binge-watch Investigation Discovery or other murder TV.
Yeslek Nnamhctits
YEAH BOIIIII soulflame!
Medicine Man
This mysterious entity is related to Villie's supposedly dead wife.
ItsFin
The primordial church would probably buy them. Some higher rank sponsor that wouldnt bat an eye at the expense
Orod
Damn I like the recaps..... But what do you mean he got his damn soul flame??!!! The soulflame was such a big deal not so long. And he got it off screen? Okay I know we will go back to when he got it. Still tho, was not expecting to hear about the soulflame yet
Jasu
I am seeing a pattern here. We were rather recently introduced to the Neurotars, and then that peek at eron with his possible hive-like future, and now the dead god talking about ”We are one”.
Nano
I need draskil to find out Jake slayed a dragon
A Flashy BR
Tyftc!! BUDDY COP and Soul Flame!? Exciting!
Rahsheem Reid
This was a great recap chap. Excited to see the B grade evolution.
Mikesch
Getting a nice, long three part chapter after a long, exhausting day, reading while Petting the cat - live is good sometimes
Jeryd Greer
Ooooh buddy
Toni
Im here for the buddy cop side story feat. Inspector Villy and Inspector Smilely
Era
Wait godhood maybe, we have never been that close
micah Hogan
"It still started when he got that damn soulflame" -> "it all started when..."
SqrlyGrly
They are removed from the all time leader board if they die, not the normal one for the universe.
DeAndrea H
I’m curious about Altius the Blade. I thought Villy implied that Yip had killed him to usurp his legacy and his place on the all times leader board but Jake read his name as being fourth and Nevermore said you were removed if you die. Is Altius the Blade still kicking around somewhere and if so how was he effected by Yip’s death?
Carl Never
I bought a house and its halfway paid off not sure what i would have done without these books drugs probably
Carl Never
Oh good catch
Rob Lyon
He's from Denmark they don't do thanksgiving...lol
Fyrtue
I hope he eventually makes it back to the Order and "invites" Albaromoz over for a 1-on-1 lesson about soul flames. Then the dragon just has a kind of existential crisis leading up to and during their discussion.
Aritra Gupta

“It still started when he got that damn Soulflame...” This sentence sounds strange
Carl Never
Getting excited this should be a good arc
Tony the Tono
Eversmile frowned?!?!
Corvid
That's how you do a teaser
Ian Hebert
Thanks for the chapter
Tamathon
Arcane Soulflame Cauldron for the win! Sylphie will hate it lol
SmokeJam
Factorio Jake style. Looking forward to the soulflame chapter!
FerrumMike YT
I just realized that I’ve been following this for so long it saw me go from high school to college, through my entire first relationship, and being able to gamble. Truly been my comfort for a large part of my life. Thank you zogarth genuinely
Lemonsqueezy
A faction that merges all the souls of dead gods into one being. Starts to explain why they wanted Jake. They need him to do a ritual to combine all of these souls.
Lemonsqueezy
It was stated when Jake first got the item to create one. An alchemical flame is needed to brew potions. The better the flame the better the quality of potion created. If you get a flame that is attuned to the type of magic you use the better the potion that is made. Jake getting a superior flame attuned to his arcane magic makes his potions unique and exponentially better than anything anyone else can create in the 93rd universe.
brjenness
it's official. zog is a meanie. I'm dropping patreon...as soon as I find out about the soul flame, and the prima seat, and b grade, and baby dragon, yip snack,and heart of cheetoh, and mysterious faction, and jasper, and Jake's race, and vespy's future, and the nephew, and sandy...well ok...maybe I'll never drop, but zog is still a meanie.
Alos
He just came from Thanksgiving, so I have faith that Zog would be generous enough not to leave us with a very huge cliff going into the weekend. Tftc!
Lemonsqueezy
I hypothesize that they wanted him to bring back their leader or creator that had recently died. Or to use him to bring back the souls of all the dead gods they have been accumulating.
ABTelford
Oh, more on the mysterious villainous group! Yay! And then soul flame cliffhanger! Yay! Can’t wait till tomorrow.
MarineDebris
If I remember correctly, the group that ambushed Jake's party in the void, was initially gonna let everyone go if Jake went with them. At least, until they figured out their faces had been seen. Now, we could say that they were obviously lying cuz, ya know, why let any of them live? But what if they were telling the truth? What if they really had no intention of killing any of them? That they really just need Jake for something, and it's not necessarily nefarious? Makes me wonder.
blucube 14
Thanks for the chapter! Woot soulflame time!
Samuel Nelson
Wait... SOULFLAME!!!
Meadow
Soulflame HYPE
tigerfishie
I gasped like three times this chapter, hell yeah. TYFTC!
ABTelford
Hehe. The title made me think it was gonna say how to train your dragon. 😉 maybe in the future?
Vex
YESSSSSSS IVE BEEN HOPING HED GET THE SOULFLAME BEFORE B-GRADE HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Joken
The only one smug right now is Zogarth, leaving us with a midweek cliff like that. I don’t think he used this method before. 10/10 creativity 7/10 suffering 9/10 anticipation
Matthias
tftc
KevB
Jake's going to be so damn smug when Villy finds out about the soulflame; I can't wait
djthomp
I just looked over Jake's skill list on the wiki earlier and my guess is at a minimum it'll be an upgrade to his Alchemical Flame skill with the rarity determined by soulflame rank. Might have a soulspace impact too, we'll hopefully find out tomorrow.
Ron Whitlatch
But the rich people arent infinite and thats who the merchants care about
Nate
HAHA, the soulflame
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! It doesn’t make any sense that the portions could be a problem for anyone. Even the people producing relatively lower quality portions should be fine. The market is literally infinite in size. Give them to Sultan to handle, with instructions on what you want done. Jake doesn’t want money? Tell him use them to promote goodwill for Earth/The Milky Way.
Steven Tuttle
how he just going to casually drop since he got the soul flame like that damn the cliff king strikes again lmfao
Kyle
Maybe a single survivor trying to bring his race back forcibly with more soul less metal magic
MarineDebris
Miranda asked if he was still using "that big thing." I'm stoked to see how the Soulflame is being used, since we've only gotten limited knowledge on what it's actual purpose is.
Ryan Linus
I just read the wiki article on Soulflames after it coming up last chapter and remain just as baffled as I ever was… Does this make any sense whatsoever to anyone? As in, understand the implications of a supreme soulflame vs. pinnacle or, villy forbid, high-tier?
Léon Geide
Soulflame!!! Soooo looking forward to next chapter! 😁
Woduk
An external enemy, maybe? From outside the 93 universes
Noah Mclelland
Does it matter that its not a Friday? Zog will still keep us hanging about the soul flame with side stories and it'll just be a longer cliff. I think anyway but I hope not
Eric Shivak
TFTC Soulflame for the win!
Kerry Henson
The “we are one” line is the one line that has my brain going through the possibilities 😏
Apollo Greed
tyftc! Soul flame activated!
zran
because he has no use of the credits, he can get whatever he whants for free from the order, so he literally has no use for the credits, so selling it is useless
Kristoffer
At least it's not a Friday, so we should hear more about it tomorrow.
Kyle Stitt
Yay soulfame!!!!
AngelusDaniel
Is it friday already?
Leviathan
Why do i get a nagging feeling that Zogarth is gonna do some more multiversal side chapters, then leave us with a tease of Jake's 4 months before dropping the soul flame on the weekend chapter
Damascus
If "we are one..." then its definitely that collective race from the first universe. I suspected a red herring at first, but guess not.
T. Lewison
Edit suggestion maybe: “Nothing,” Eversmile frowned. Based on his nom de guerre... and the fact that Vilas himself has pondered the potential for chaos if Eversmile ever turns that smile upside down? lol
Zachar Holma
Ugh, friday going to the LVL349 cliffhanger with twist of soulflame as a garnish.
Phil Ritter
Would be hilarious and I don’t doubt Villy and Artemis and even Minaga would be on board just to fuck with Jake
Dave
SoulFlame wooo
Loststar7
Yep. It seems like Uncle Jake is messing around with his stinky pot again.
Phil Ritter
Honestly don’t think she’d even need to at this point. Pretty sure she is milking all those organisations settling on Earth and considering Jake is more than half the reason for most of them haven gotta be prime real estate
Stefan Nilsson
Tftc
Phil Ritter
Why sell anything when you can just rob your patron?
smore
He finally got his Soul flame!! Let's go!!!
Phil Ritter
At least it’s not Friday and it’s not a cliff we need to survive during the weekend. Didn’t at all expect it to go that fast
Gerrard Vincent
He made his own cauldron out of his soulflame didn't he. In stable form.
Indevan Jones
Yaaay souflame time!!!!
Jett Sullivan
Arnold or sword saint. Are my guesses.
Fdrugc
Why is he selling it for free? Maybe he gains records From it.
Fyrtue
I am perfectly fine waiting for the profession completion to get those soul flame and mystery god organization details. TFTC Zog.
Fdrugc
Glad he got the soul flame on a separate note because he is the chosen. I wonder how much he could sell his sh*t for.
Danny
Uh nice soulflame power I like it xD
Stefan Nilsson
Tftc
Alan Lint
YES! Soulflame time baby!!
Kt-x
Oooh! Soulflame babyyyy!!! Thanks for the chapter
John Durrett
I’m holding out that it will be tomorrow’s episode
Bruce Sheplan
A lost primordial? Someone Eversmile erased but somehow survived? Forbidden Knowledge Primordial due to a bloodline thats too insane?
Bladehawk256
What a fucking cliff
Sylphie
Ree!
Kris Tuchel
I mean, all she has to do is start selling them to fund haven, not like Jake would give a fuck
Rewdan
Fantastic character, thanks Zogarth
Temlat
Is anyone else seeing a marketing strategy, along the lines of a perfume ad? - Scene opens with a camera panning across a glass vial containing a pale orange liquid falling onto a shallow pool of thick green liquid - causing a small splash of the blood of the malefic viper. The camera zooms to a tight crop and focus of the settled vial featuring a viper insignia. Artemis voiceover says “‘Thayne’ - from the House of the Malefic’s Chosen” - end scene. Ima make a fortune from these potions.
Rewdan
Zogarth will stretch it out I’m sure
Rewdan
Looks very possible 🧐
Rewdan
Zogarth sets them up so nicely
Mikkel Bp
Soulflame baby!!
Zenthos
Either that or someone like Eron who is able to connect souls so none of his minions ever truly die
CT
Soulflame?? Is it finally happening? What is next, Jake finally upgrading the flame ? :)
Daniel Jackson-Woods
Knew he'd get the soul flame before B grade
Rick Delallata
Ooh, I wonder how crazy his soulflame is
Jabirttok
Knowing Jake it will have been a pinnacle soul flame that upgraded to a special secret level that's forbidden knowledge by the system when he pulls it out.
Cyranosaurus
Wow what an ending!
Kelvin Garcia
Soooo he got the soul flame! Poor D grade, also best guesses on who is considered the most likely to reach Godhood? My money's on Jacob or the Sword Saint
SeaSmoke
So we can agree that this god is at least primordial tier, not slightly weaker but actually on par with them
TyranT-Rex
What a way to end the chapter. Thankfully its not Friday
Tommy
TFTC!
Daniel
Yes, the soul flame!!
Igneas
Wohooo, Soulflame adquired !
BumAssBumAss
I hope it's at least a supreme soul flame. I know Jake was satisfied with one below, but still.
Jana
That would have been a mean Friday chapter - I hesitate to be thankful though as it could technically be even worse tomorrow:-)
MythicalReign
Oh he finally got the soulflame!
David
Nah....most likely next chapter will jump back to before he got his soul flame and be about him getting it
IntenseSushi
Tftc cmon, you can’t leave us hanging on the soulflame man
Benjamin Davis-Lorton
SOULFLAME
Den
Off screen soulflame 😂
Lommona
SOULFLAME! Super excited to get more on that, also this organization is getting even more mysterious! It almost seems like necromancy or some type of hive mind? I feel like it has to be something or someone we know of or have heard about, maybe like the robot guys we recently learned abt?
Episode 19
Tftc So imma assume that there's something like an evil necromancer killing and reviving gods
Stevean Bozek
Oh that's a cheeky way to end the chapter. I both love and hate it. At least it's not a weekend cliffhanger
djthomp
Soulflame time! Interesting explanation for why the relevant cast of characters is staying around the same level, the system has a mechanism for that as a way to increase competition.
Meir Banon
Tftc
Jim Meyer
Great chapter! Anybody else think that Eron is somehow going to get wrapped up in this mystery faction before it's all said and done?
BlackRazaras
Thanks for the chapter
Noname
Soulflame time
Arrogant Savant
Lol at that point sell them as "chosen of the malefic viper" merchandise
GeneralBlack
We got the soul flame!!!
Unwillingmainer
Hey, he got it finally! And I am very interested to see how this new threat of dead gods turns out. After all, Jake will need a good enemy for B grade.
Matthew
Just in time to set up tomorrows cliffhanger. 😂
