However… despite this development, the Viper knew that the danger was (far) from done as Jake had just unlocked something no mortal mind was capable of handling, and as counterintuitive as it seemed, all they could hope was that Jake hadn’t found too much success.

Alexander C Hyde

“The amount of Records that will flood his (being)beings should allow him to recover, and surely the system will be interested in not leaving him with any permanent damage.”

Parker Bond

Nevermind, I found an authors note so it looks like this is expected: "Finally, just a little warning: I won't be posting any chapters next week on the 27th and 28th of November 2025, as I’ll be away from home. I’m still away over the weekend and may not have a chapter ready for Monday, the 1st of December, either, but time will tell. Anywho, on to today’s chapter!"

Parker Bond

Anyone else in the Archer tier suddenly not getting new chapters? At first I thought it was just because of Thanksgiving but I doubt that the break also includes Cyber Monday. Maybe there is a larger break I'm unaware of?

Thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

Missing a "far" in the following paragraph. "However… despite this development, the Viper knew that the danger was from done as Jake had just unlocked something no mortal mind was capable of handling, and as counterintuitive as it seemed, all they could hope was that Jake hadn’t found too much success."

Devillelouch

Artemis is better Duskleaf for current reaction chapters. It will be interesting how many of the Villy livestreams she watches. Duskleaf can claim his "if its not alchemy, I dont care" throne.

brjenness

yes

Zogarth

Fix stuff. THis and others.

Anthony Smith

Isn't there a desolation core in Jake's palate ATM?

Thenais

Any change to his craddle of Alchimist flames ?

Sarianne

Really happy I didn't read this yesterday as now I only have to wait max 3 hours to learn more 😅

kandiana

He had no such skill... He helped Viper to form base skill that later became Sagacity (and Sagacity is not a transcendent skill)

Starkly Glim

Here's a crazy theory: If I remember right, the First Sage had a transcendent skill that helped other people develop their transcendent skills. What if Jake's made Meditate into a transcendent skill? His bloodline was suppressed during the process and only minimally involved at the end, so what if?

Keion

One/two more months in c grade then we found out more about the bloodline!!!!! I really think it’s a werewolf type

Keion

So check list time Soul flame Puzzle Getting the rest of his legacy skills up? Shadow Jake? Hunt a true dragon Bow skills? Boot upgrade? Vist his hive daughter vespy? Oooh earths dungeon minga is making Gear upgrade? Get his second wife ….did I miss something? New katar from aronald maybe a time chamber session ? Predictions?

Borbino the great

No don’t say this you’re gonna manifest it

Fyrtue

There were some people talking about that a few chapters back. I think the consensus is that his nephew is late teens maybe early 20s at this point.

Jason Hardman

TYFTC! Some edit suggestions: The amount of Records that will flood his beings should allow him to recover, -> will flood his being the Viper knew that the danger was from done -> the danger was far from done Teaching the gate directly, Jake’s eyes opened wide -> Touching the gate

Dani

Does that mean Jake‘s new Meditate is going to be divine rarity, since he unlocked „a sliver of divinity“? Maybe even a new title. He got one for Eternal Shadow back in D grade. Its been so long since he gained a title outside a massive event. In the good old days he seemingly got one every 20 chapters or so.

Andy Swearingen

How long has Jake been away from earth now ? Just wondering how old his nephew will be by the time he gets back

Stoney

> Teaching the gate directly, Should be Touching right?

JW Saxby

Tyftc 🍻

Xerecs

At this rate we aren't going to find out the outcome of both the meditate upgrade and the palate fix until monday..... XD

Spencer Miller

Meditate and Legacy Teachings of the Heretic-Chosen, I think.

brjenness

when villy says combining two skills, he means...path and...invocation? did he invoke path or palate? and am I correct in assuming he meant "using two skills at same time" not "making 1 skill out of 2"

Staudi

Thanks for the Chapter!

dan dyfe

"---evolve to C-grade." Isn't he already C-grade so it sould be B-grade.

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

Michael Ferguson

♥️

Michael Ferguson

Nice

Ollie

Would love if Jake came out and said to Villy "i Know kong fu now", only he would get the reference

Rob Lyon

Oh yeah Friday's cliffhanger is going to be massive

Rob Lyon

Oh it's not going to be a peaceful barter it's going to be a heist I have a feeling that the Viper is trying to steal something from people stronger than him at this point

Buzzkill081

Villy heist

Ty Cooper

So stray thought. If the FS is messing with the system behind the scenes to give Villy a true friend that he can share all the forbidden knowledge he knows. Like Jake will be able to see the origins of whatever records and remember them. If he claims the origin he could claim the knowledge as his own via bloodline Harbinger.

Thenais

any chance he will gain the skill "uno reverse" ?

Ty Cooper

So good. Just think. He is already breaking the system this much in c-grade. Jake at s-grade is going to be so op.

brjenness

I know man. heard it was going to be 7 days or some crazy shit like that

Death56

"Teaching the gate directly, Jake’s eyes opened wide as he suppressed a scream from the insane influx of concepts invading his body." Typo here should be touching the gate directly

Ty Cooper

Only time I have been able to let the chapters build up is when I am in the wilderness and my phone won't work. I find it odd that I now crave Mondays but it is soooooo good as you said.

Ty Cooper

Fun thought. Primalmolt

brjenness

won't be a cliffhanger. it will be a clifford-bartholamew-johnson hanger. always much worse when they use your full name.

Stephen

Nah, vision will end on Friday... next week is catching back up with the going on at earth, and Monday the 13th we get the reveal

Alexandre8901

This week is long!

Suzanne Pearson

I had a weird thought…. What if the vision is one of BOTH palette and Dragonmolt? Jake needs to trim/get rid of corrupted records and that is what dragonmolt basically does….

Sambiani Lare

Gaaaah the cliffhangers. That's why I hate being catched up. I need to chill and accumulate chapters. It's just sooooo good💪🏽

noctsol

Oh boy. VIPER'S 12 : THE HEIST

bioticisbasic

Tyftc!

Fyrtue

Definitely an interesting thought but I think he's worried about that desolation world core if he doesn't go big enough on palate.

Fyrtue

I'm optimistic in hoping that tomorrow is the vision and Friday is the big upgrade reveal cliff hanging the conversation with the gods for Monday.

SetherAedekae

It's just going to make Friday hit harder :(

Xander

TFTC :) Suggested edits: "The Bloodline that had appeared dormant for over a *moment* roared" I think you meant "month" "capable of handling, and as *counterproductive* as it" should be "counterintuitive" "before he could evolve to C-grade. " should be "B-grade"

Scott Conway

Been loving the chapters after the break! So happy this plot developed during the week and not on a Friday

Lemonsqueezy

"Jake had wanted to upgrade his Meditate skill, yes, but he’d wanted to do so in part to help completely heal his soul before he could evolve to C-grade. " Shouldn't it be "evolve to B-grade"? "Teaching the gate directly, Jake’s eyes opened wide" should be "Touching the gate directly".

brjenness

I wonder what would have happened if Jake would have used the villy record boost invocation on palate while it was broken...maybe slowly replace op records with less op records that didn't blow him up?

brjenness

or... he gets upgrades to the skill he sees in the vision...since he chose palate, the system helps him upgrade palate fixing it in the process.

khielira

Yeah, but Jake probably will have the same problem as he has will hunting a dragon. Luckily there are plenty of assholes but finding the right kinda of asshole might be a bit of a challenge. One strong enough to be a challenge but not so strong that Jake will have his butt beaten like a drum. Plus Jake wouldn't want to hunt a God who's cool/nice

Jordan

This kind of stuff is so cool to me. The idea of these ancient secrets of the multiverse that Jake is tapping into, along with the mystery of the First Sage, is really good. I love it whenever we get arcs like this

Trumangolorian

Tyftc. Can't wait to see how everything turns out.

Korrasis

Yo we think alike I said that in this week's comments as well! High five!

Roy Boy Meyer

So he used the heretic chosen skill for High records, focus on palate with the influx of divine records and concepts. Earlier he mentioned wanting to upgrade to mythical or divine skill ? So palate will become mythical or divine ? The viper used touch of the Malefic Viper in his record fragment? Omg what will happen with this upgrade skill? Will he be able to expand his domain by touch? Absorb powers or attacks into his palate and directly nullify them through the core of desolation inside? That will mean that the nullifying powers of the dragon will just be absorbed by his palate? Aarghhh..1001 theories now. Come on Zoggie..let us know tomorrow at least what the combined skill upgrade will do? Naming things like divinity, making the viper smile, and doing something on par with the sage. It must be utterly terrifying for even an A grade I bet

brjenness

are palate records corrupted or are some of them too powerful for jake's soul to handle? if the second is true, he just needs to make his soul as strong as a god's...maybe find a gate to poke with an arrow and absorb a bunch of concepts.

Rewdan

That would be fantastic

Patryk

Or more naturally imo, 'far from gone'. Also 'Teaching the gate' -> 'Touching the gate' (or reaching) I believe, though others mentioned it earlier Edit: Also, 'The amount of Records that will flood his beings' -> '[...] his being'

tigerfishie

Yet another chapter that had me talking out loud 🙏🙏 Tyftc!!!

Thomas

Was thinking I could pay to read farther ahead then realized I already, thanks for the chapter

Carl Never

Poor art is in for a hell of a ride trying to care for jake. He better grow her a divine banana mussa

Carl Never

Next book back to nevermore

Carl Never

Gate was curious about rituals jakes giving a lesson

Eric Shivak

TFTC

Daniel

the Viper knew that the danger was from done. —-> far from done.

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter! I’m going to laugh hard when it turns out the vision has nothing to do with Palate.

DocSmitty

It already does, just not his name? Lots of skills, notifications, etc reference primal hunter

M C

That does make more sense. I read it as “reaching”.

Fyrtue

I'm calling that he mutated Palate to a race skill like he did with his anomalous soul and its name changes to "of the Primal Hunter."

Jeryd Greer

He’s gonna consume the building or part of the city, I think. His touching the different places was to create a space where his mana was a network like his stomach?

John Durrett

Tyftc

Jeryd Greer

I can only hope this all wraps up on Friday.

marloes

The Bloodline that had appeared dormant for over a moment roared to life . (shouldn't moment be " month" in this context?)

Matthew Smith

You reckon Jake is going to usurp the skill and make it Palate of the Primal Hunter due to his bloodline doing its bs and having to replace some records in the original palate to stabilise it?

beeve

It’s Wednesday

Connor

Thanks for the chapter

Ben Cox

Can't wait to see Villy's idea of "peaceful bartering" tyftc

itsdlow

“The Bloodline that had appeared dormant for over a moment roared to life as the sound of a heartbeat“ Moment -> Month TFTC!!!

David Hall

Nice stopping point for the weekend. I'm interested of how villy plans to steal the declaration of independence but it isn't a pivotal point within a sequence. Though to answer the question, he's obviously going to eat it. This vision is about Palate of the Malefic Viper.

Clint

I vote both. Great vision/palate/desolation core payoff on Friday. Meditation cliff over the weekend.

Ty Cooper

Woot! Tftc Looking forward to the rest of the week. Man it feels good finally seeing pallet getting fixed. I am so curious what he gets from the Desolation world core fragment. That has been kicking around for a long time now. The turd covered cheeto was still messing with primas when this messed up.

glutton 12

I'm going feral waiting for what happens seriously GATES OF DIVINITY FIXING PALATE HERTIC CHOSEN VISIONS ITS LIKE MY CHRISTMAS

female person type thing

Think this is suppose to be touching. "Teaching the gate directly, Jake’s eyes opened wide..."

ABTelford

This chapter was top notch! Fantastic story telling! And I am excited for tomorrow !…though also worried we’re in for an epic Friday cliffhanger. 😉

Spencer Miller

Did the First Sage’s Meditate skill help him form Transcendences? Also, tftc.

Cory S.

Great chapter. Looking forward to more and to see what Jake ends up with after this is all over.

Chris Connolly

Great point! Totally forgot about the core in there. In order to fix palate I’d imagine he’s going to have to get a pretty damn good idea of the concept of desolation. Can’t wait to see what he does with it

IntenseSushi

Tftc. Villy like I receive items, you receive death

Ritsu

An auction house with plenty of B-grades catering to it probably is run by high B-grade or low A-grade people. Since Villy was still throwing a tantrum throughout B-grade, I'm guessing this was A-grade Villy. Can't be C-grade since no-one else on his planet reached peak C-grade before he annihilated it. Can't be S-grade either since there wouldn't be anything worth stealing at that point. I don't think we've gotten an A-grade vision yet.

Brandon Johnson

"Jake had wanted to upgrade his Meditate skill, yes, but he’d wanted to do so in part to help completely heal his soul before he could evolve to C-grade." Shouldn't that be evolve to B-grade?

Scotty

😮

yo dude

It'd be interesting to have some Eron's hypothesis included in Jake's theory of divinity

Orod

Damn, I was at least expecting the upgrade notification today. Can't wait to see the skill descriptions and how many levels he gains from what he just did. This also gives him a solid footing for when he gets to S grade and starts killing God's

John Burton

At least now we know how mortals become gods and why so many fail to become gods as well

Rewdan

I’m thinking that Jake will be able to use the concept of desolation in his archery skills once he’s fixed palate.

Fdrugc

This was amazing

mahmoud fathy

OMG It will be a cliffhanger for the weekend. We will not see what happens to jake until monday

Jerry Wieder

Heist! Villy style!

Alan Lint

Nah man. He is teaching the gate not to get in his way!

Wow Zogarth what a character, this week has been immense.

I wonder if the system will now refer to Jake as the Primal Hunter like how it calls Tonken NA 👀🤌🏿

Demi

I forgot he had the desolation core in the palate sealed up! Brilliant!

Benjamin Davis-Lorton

or reaching

Posiden 300

I knew it!

BumAssBumAss

Daylight robbery staring the Malefic Viper. With path of heretic chosen in play now, I'm hoping we at least see the meditate skill upgrade by the end of the week.

I kinda want Jake to turn Palate into Pseudo Divine Skill with all the concepts and records he is farming now from the gate🤤

"The Bloodline that had appeared dormant for over a moment roared" - month? And later far from done?

Davan Krueger

It's definitely been dormant for over a moment

Corvid

He did a good job Teaching that gate who was boss. This is either going to be the best payoff ever on Friday or the absolute worst wait ever. Either way, seeing the viper run a con for some shinies is gonna be legendary. Or actually, mythical

Strato Junon

"Teaching the gate directly" should be touching

"Touching the gate directly" is how I read it
