Chapter 1178 - Not One Calm Day
🕑 Added 2025-07-14 11:16:58 +0000 UTC“I was serious about that invitation to visit my planet,” the Chosen of the Malefic Viper said with a smile as he stood right outside the house with his partner for dinner, Diana, by his side.
“We’ll certainly take you up on the offer once it’s possible for us to go there,” Solana answered with a bow. Not going would be foolishly passing up a great opportunity. She already knew that she and Keerla would have to report everything that had happened during this dinner to their higher-ups, and chances were that this open invitation would cause both of them to be placed into several courses on diplomacy.
“Thank you for the invitation. It was a lovely evening, and the food was absolutely wonderful, especially the soup,” Diana said, nodding her head.
“I’m glad you could come,” Solana also bowed to the wood elf archer, knowing that the woman definitely also had a status far surpassing that of Keerla and herself.
As for the mention of the mushroom soup... Solana had to admit that while she had done her best, she wasn’t very used to working with toxins during cooking, meaning the end result hadn’t been as good as she’d hoped.
Fortunately, the Chosen had enjoyed it enough to finish the entire pot. Diana didn’t eat as much but also dug in, though Solana expected it was mostly to eat alongside the Chosen. Despite her status being a lot higher than theirs, she still only had a Divine Blessing, and no one could fault her for wanting to get closer to someone like Lord Thayne.
Luckily for her, Lord Thayne did seem to have taken a liking to the wood elf.
“Hey, you could pay me back by putting in a good word with Artemis,” Keerla smiled shamelessly at Diana.
Solana threw her wife a quick glare that the high elf didn’t even register as Diana answered with grace.
“I don’t doubt she’s pleased with how great hosts you are, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she’d begin to pay a little extra attention to you going forward. Especially not if you’ll be visiting the ninety-third universe,” the peak C-grade wood elf said.
Keerla remained shameless as she placed a hand on Diana’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, if I make it big, I won’t forget about those who helped me get there and will definitely return the favor.”
“Looking forward to it,” Diana chuckled. All Solana could do was be happy that Diana wasn’t easily offended. Keerla was quite curt when she felt close to someone, and she’d definitely taken a liking to Diana based on how her etiquette had gone out the window.
“Hey, if it’s worth anything, I’ll also put in a good word with Yggdrasil,” the Chosen of the Malefic Viper said casually as he looked at Solana.
The statement was absolutely ludicrous, and if it had come from anyone else, Solana would have laughed at the notion that a C-grade could talk to her Patron, the Mother Tree, much less have the Primordial actually listen. However, seeing as it was the Chosen of the Malefic One who walked around with a bow created from divine wood donated by the Mother Tree... he likely wasn’t joking.
“I’m unworthy of such praise,” Solana said, feeling genuinely awkward even thinking about someone as insignificant as her being mentioned to the leader of the Pantheon of Life.
“If you feel that way, then work towards becoming a person who would be worthy,” the Chosen said, keeping the same casual tone despite his words.
“I’ll do my utmost,” Solana bowed again, unsure what to say. The Chosen seemed happy with her response as he smiled.
“In case I hadn’t said it... Thank you for hosting us. It was indeed a lovely evening, and I hope we meet again. Perhaps in my home next time. I’m not the best chef, but hey, I know how to order catering,” Lord Thayne said in a tone that made Solana unsure if he was joking or not.
“He’s not joking, in case you’re wondering,” Diana dispelled Solana’s internal thoughts, something she’d done several times prior already throughout the evening. Truly, she had a great understanding of the Chosen.
“It would be an honor to visit your abode,” Solana bowed.
“Yeah, definitely not going to say no to that,” Keerla agreed in less polite words, but at least she also bowed respectfully.
“Just one rule,” Lord Thayne said with a smile. “No bowing all the time on my planet, alright?”
“We’ll try to keep that in mind,” Solana said, hurriedly straightening her back.
“I’ll be seeing you later, then,” the Chosen of the Malefic Viper nodded as he turned to leave.
“You two have a great night, and I’m sure we’ll meet again,” Diana also gave them a nod as she threw Keerla a look, likely because they both shared a Patron.
Solana was about to bow again, but stopped herself as she joined Keerla in waving at the two as they left. Right around when it got sufficiently awkward to stay there waving, she and Keerla went back into their house. Closing the door, Solana threw her wife a look.
“We survived.”
“More than survived... that went great!” Keerla said with a huge smile. “At least I don’t think we’ll get purged for having offended the Chosen of the Malefic Viper. We even got an invitation to visit his planet, something you said the higher-ups are hoping this declaration of friendship would make easier, and here we are with an open invitation.”
“It certainly went a lot better than expected,” Solana said with a slow nod, genuinely surprised things had gone that well.
“We definitely got lucky he brought along Diana,” Keerla sighed. “She rocked. Without her, things would have been super awkward, especially in the beginning.”
“She was indeed skilled in conversation and reading social cues,” Solana wholeheartedly agreed. “And you still don’t remember having heard of her before? C-grades with Divine Blessings are relatively rare, and if she managed to get this close to the Chosen of the Malefic Viper, I’m surprised there hasn’t been more talk about her.”
“Nope, never even heard of anyone with that name having a Divine Blessing of the Mistress,” Keerla shook her head. “But that isn’t super surprising. A lot of those with Divine Blessings are in specialized hunting squads or lone hunters that aren’t very public.”
“I guess,” Solana sighed. As a follower of the Mother Tree, Solana definitely had a way better understanding of the influential mortals who held high-level Blessings of her Patron, but even she wouldn’t dare claim she knew about all C-grades with Divine Blessings of her Patron.
“Hey... do you think those two are together?” Keerla asked after thinking for a moment.
“I think there’s something going on for sure,” Solana speculated. “The most likely scenario is that Artemis and the Mother Tree both pushed for Diana to get closer to the Chosen of the Malefic Viper during his stay here, and he decided to take her up on the offer to enjoy some female companionship.”
“So you think they’re just banging?” Keerla asked curtly. “I feel like they had pretty good chemistry, and Lord Thayne didn’t treat her as just a temporary plaything... then again, he was all-around way nicer than I thought the Chosen of the Malefic Viper could possibly be.”
Solana threw Keerla a glare for the potentially blasphemous statement, making Keerla shrug.
“What? You were thinking the exact same thing.”
“Some thoughts are best kept as just that: thoughts,” Solana said, shaking her head. “As for the true nature of their relationship? Who are we even to speculate? All I will say is that if she does manage to become one of his recognized partners, the Pantheon of Life would be more than pleased.”
“But for now, you think they’re just banging,” Keerla reiterated.
“I never said that,” Solana crossed her arms.
“But you were thinking it,” Keerla smiled cheekily. “And for the record, I’m gonna make a wild prediction... I think they’re already totally an item, and things are just kept under wraps for now. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this entire Declaration of Friendship was partly made on the grounds that the two are together.”
Solana just stared at Keerla for a few seconds. “Sometimes, your wild theories do really drift into the territory of conspiracy theories.”
“Hey, I think I’m right,” Keerla chuckled. “Don’t underestimate the intuition of a hunter. There’s definitely more going on between those two than meets the eye.”
--
Jake and Artemis walked through the streets for a little while until the Godqueen teleported them both back to Jake’s residence. Back in familiar and private surroundings, Jake turned to Artemis.
“You nearly started a war between the Pantheon of Life and the Order of the Malefic Viper today.”
“And I did so with not a single shred of regret,” Artemis answered in a stoic tone, returning his gaze.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds before Jake chuckled and shook his head. “You seriously convinced Keerla that serving mushrooms would be a great idea?”
“Sure did,” Artemis nodded, bereft of shame.
“What would you have done if I’d raised a fuss or complained?”
“I knew you wouldn’t,” the Godqueen smiled. “Even if every single meal had comprised only mushrooms and moss, you wouldn’t have said anything. You might have been unable to hide your dissatisfaction, but if Solana asked you directly if you enjoyed the meal, you would have forced a smile and nodded.”
Jake glared at Artemis. “I’m not going to disagree, but the fact you knew how I would react only makes the betrayal worse, and you do know that I’m gonna get you back for it, right?”
“Oh, I’m already looking forward to seeing what you come up with,” Artemis said, her demeanor making Jake believe she was serious.
Not wanting to harp on with the subject, Jake changed it. “I need to ask... am I the only one surprised everything went so smoothly?”
“What do you mean?” Artemis asked, having somehow not expected that question.
“You know, nothing weird happened. We just went there, ate, had a good time, and went home. The biggest happening was you pulling a prank and me perhaps going overboard by being unable to hold myself back from showing off my new bow,” Jake explained.
“Yeah?” Artemis said, continuing to look perplexed. “I can see why they would have been nervous of anything going awry, seeing as they were hosting the Chosen of the Malefic Viper and his mysterious companion for the night, but why are you surprised things went as expected?”
“Because they usually don’t?” Jake asked, now confused about why they weren’t both confused. “Your real identity somehow wasn’t revealed, and no other gods had done anything to mess with things. Shit, I’d halfway expected Minaga to show up halfway through, acting offended at not having gotten an invitation. Oh, or maybe it would turn out their neighbor was secretly a group of assassins from the Court of Shadow that would try to catch me off guard. It could also be that Duskleaf or Nature’s Attendant suddenly needed one of us or something like that, resulting in them teleporting into the dining room halfway through the main course. You know, I just expected something to go wrong.”
Artemis stared at Jake for several seconds, a look of genuine concern on her face. “I’m almost beginning to understand why you’re not a fan of social events if that’s how you expect them all to go...”
“Well, not all of them,” Jake muttered.
“Most times, events are surprisingly uneventful. They are predictable. Sure, all those things could have happened, but the chance would be ridiculously low,” Artemis shook her head. “Even if chaotic gods like the All-God Legion surely do skew things toward unpredictability.”
Jake was quiet for a little while as he wondered if perhaps the reason things usually went wrong was because of something Jake did or if he had just gotten unlucky. Sure, sometimes he could definitely pin things on Villy, such as the time he went eating with Scarlett and the Primordial decided to roleplay a waiter, but he couldn’t put it all on Villy. Maybe the explanation instead was that Artemis had been there and had helped Jake not say something that would have led to something major happening?
In the end, Jake just sighed. “I guess you got a point... not every social gathering turns into the day being overly eventfu-“
As if on cue, the gateway in Jake’s temporary residence activated, and out stumbled a small, familiar, cat-like creature. Jake hadn’t even turned his head to look with his eyes before he noticed something was wrong.
Before he could even use One Step, Artemis teleported him alongside herself to appear at the gateway where Jake saw Jasper. The Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher was covered in bloody wounds all over his body, and Jake felt that the peak C-grade had suffered severe damage not only to his body but his soul. At the same time, Jake saw the little guy’s body shimmer with constant energy, letting him know some kind of boosting skill was still going.
“Jasper, what the hell happened?” Jake said as he hurried to take out a health potion and force-fed the little guy.
“Me... treasure,” Jasper said after drinking the potion, making Jake notice what the Shimmerfur was holding.
Between his small paws, Jasper held a weird multi-colored crystal about the size of a fist that gave off an odd and unsettling aura. Jake had been too busy looking at Jasper’s state at first to notice it, but now that he was looking at it, Jake knew it wasn’t anything simple.
A quick Identify confirmed Jake had severely underestimated what he was looking at.
[Supreme Jewel of the Drifting Planes (Mythical)] – A natural treasure born in a small world drifting between the universes. This jewel passively emanates a unique aura belonging to that of the Drifting Planes, allowing any monster below A-grade within to experience rapid growth. Has a myriad of alchemical uses, but must be approached with caution due to the potency of its inherent energy. WARNING: Due to being separated from the Drifting Planes, this jewel will soon start to decay and leak energy rapidly. Estimated time until instability reaches critical threshold: 6 days, 1:29:05
“How the...” Jake muttered, but he didn’t get further as his attention was still on Jasper. The healing potion had helped the Warpsnatcher’s wounds start healing, but Jake felt that it was far from enough.
Artemis, who also looked down at Jasper with concern, spoke and said something Jake already suspected. “He’s suffered severe soul injuries from overdraft.”
“Can you help?” Jake asked, already aware of what the answer would be.
“No, not with this kind of injury. Not when it’s caused by backlash,” Artemis shook her head. “It’s not something external sources can heal.”
“Escape... hard,” Jasper said, still holding tightly onto the jewel. “Needed... treasure. Sorry.”
Artemis, who had a hand on Jake’s shoulder, transferred her voice into his mind. “This is more than simply overspending himself. He took severe damage to his soul from external attacks while it was already harmed by his own doing... if he fully deactivates the current boosting skill he’s using, I fear permanent damage would be a best-case scenario.”
Frowning, Jake asked Jasper straight-up: “Can you evolve now?”
The Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher nodded slowly.
“How long can you hold on with your boosting skill?”
Jasper, who was already looking tired, seemed to realize what Jake was saying as he acted tough. “Enough.”
With determination, Jake nodded and threw Artemis a quick look. She instantly knew as the three of them were teleported down to the cavern below the palace. Down to where all the treasure piles could be found... and the ritual circle they had already been integrated with.
“We’re moving a bit faster than I had originally planned, but it seems like we don’t have a choice,” Jake said, looking at Artemis, who was carrying Jasper. She gently placed him in the center of the ritual circle, where the little guy sat up.
The Warpsnatcher looked over at Jake with his big eyes, a hint of tiredness in them, but the little guy’s determination overshadowed it.
“Ready!” Jasper said, trying to sound as strong as possible.
“Alright,” Jake nodded, knowing time was tight.
I hope I’m also ready for this, he thought as he initiated the ritual, things having moved a lot faster than he would have liked. Alas, he should have known that one doesn’t simply have a calm and uneventful day that included a dinner date if they were called Jake Thayne.

Everytime I hear Jasper its as stitches voice

Another great chapter! Keep the action coming! Social or fighting, with Hake at the helm it’ll be a fun ride!
Bobo
Great! Edit, remove “not” Especially not if you’ll be visiting the ninety-third universe,
Matt
What if Jasper uses Sandy as a base of operations? Jasper is way better at obtaining items and Sandy could slowly benefit from the horde in his internal storage.
Xander
TFTC :) Suggested edits: "you could pay me back *for* putting in a good word with Artemis" i think you mean "by" here. " *I’m* I the only one" should be "am" "allowing any monster below A-grade *within* to experience rapid growth." extra word? unless its a spatial gem of some kind maybe and Im getting the emphasis wrong in which case perhaps a mention of a space inside?
Cameron Taylor
This might be a way of giving Artemis involvement in the ritual. If Jasper needs Soul Life Support to hold him together for long enough to get to the system assistant.
Cameron Taylor
That's how you end up with children named Snatchie. And possibly using Jake Juice on a damaged soul. When literally the last time Jake used Jake Jucie it was on a damaged soul and required a Primordial's Transcendalence to barely patch it. Given how many people they each have on quick dial maybe one of them could tried a little strategy and phoned a friend while they acted.
Cameron Taylor
It should be OK. Jake's injury took two transcendent interventions (Jake Juice and Malaific Exploit) to get to a state where the system wouldn't heal it for free upon evolution. Normal soul damage... even Desolation damage from a Primeaval gets healed for free. If anything, stretching yourself that far to achieve the ridiculous should encourage the system to offer (possibly questionable) upgrades.
Aury Thio
I was actually expecting it to be Minaga. But Jasper is so much better.
John Burton
Is there a risk of Jasper making the damage a permanent part of him, similar to how Jake doesn't want to evolve with his soul damaged?
Cameron Taylor
Maybe the next companion? This guy is thematically tiny!

So this is what it's like to be caught up to the newest chapter. I'm not sure what to do with my day now. I seem to remember I have a family, maybe I'll go see what they're doing...if I can remember what they look like...
Kytayn K.
We've got Jake Thayne, Soul Surgeon on the case anyhow. If can walk into other people's soul-scape and start ordering about ornery energies, he can patch up Jasper sufficiently to get through his evolution where the system will just fix him.
Kytayn K.
There were several scenes where Jake and Artemis “spent quality time” together, or it’s said that they spent time chatting and getting to know each other without elaboration. It could simply have been one of these times. They really do connect as their sensibilities match up. They make a great couple.
Doodlenoodle
TFTC! Jake can ask Yggdrasil, Minaga, Nature attendant, Duskleaf or any other god for some help with Jasper health. As they will take part in the ritual that way they will gain records so i think they will help.
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.

Jasper gets an upgrade is my guess to Tuesday chapter name

Jasper is evolving
Jeff McCulley
Instead of “curt”, I think that you want something more like “frank”, or “candid”. She was speaking with candor, or candidly. Curt is from the same root as “curtailed”, and she definitely wasn’t being brief or shortspoken.
Lawrence Dillon
Those two are peak C grades i believe and jake is pushing to b grade as well so it made sense to delay the meet up
Stevean Bozek
I imagine at some point during their time together Jake went on one of his rants about evil mushrooms and the sacrifices he has had to make in the name of alchemy
WaxDinosaur
This just gave me a random thought, but I would looove to see a chapter a billion years from now where Jake and Villy go void god hunting together
Ty Cooper
Lol Murphy. But glad the dinner went well for him. New experiences and all that.
Trumangolorian
I feel his ratio is a little skewed. Had he gone to more social events I'm sure he would see what Artemis is talking about. But also he is from the 93rd universe meaning rapid development is always going on causing things to happen all the time. Especially as an influential person as the chosen of a primordial. His social gatherings would be a little skewed that way too. Plus the company he keeps can all be a little chaotic so a little chaos happening is always to be expected. Anyways here is Jasper's evolution. Tyftc Zogi.
Lemonsqueezy
I though C-Grades could visit Earth now. The level cap last I read was 320 or something, but it has been a few years since then.
Jul Silver
Was there eveR a scene when Jake told Artemis he didn't like mushrooms?
The Dregs
Ooo, I like that idea.
Hunter
Feel like Jasper showing up worse for wear after stealing something he shouldn’t is going to turn into a personality trait for the little bubba.
Hunter
This would be fantastic because there is not a chance in the world minaga would of missed this opportunity.
Blutako
Yeah a lot of long series like this have what are context training arcs, in anime and tv shows and a lot of manga/webtoons there a time skips or sum up recaps, what i think we have here is one of those its a whole book almost entirely about building up the details for the future because there is so much going on in this story that are long term events or characters or side stories and they all need to progress and the best time is in between crazy events
Johnny
Curt usually means short but with a tinge of rudeness, perhaps informal is a better choice of Keerla’s attitude
Dhia
is it just me or does every week feel like separate arcs. every week we get a semi arc about something, like last week was preparation and doing of the date with some experimenting here and there. week before that was bow arc and this week is jasper evolution.
Danny
Ohhw brave littel guys
Carl Never
This whole book here might be my new favorite. So heres some thoughts. Is jake going to join the order or will he start his own pantheon? It seems like with all his allies hes going to need his own and itll have members from all the other panteons. They can unite the 93rd universe and run the prima world wonder which will be some kind of over powered hunting ground that never stops testing you. I dont think villy will mind. Jake and art can form a party and make there way up the ladder untill villy and valdemar can join.
Daniel Golding
This is why Jake and Artemis are a good match. No discussion, no strategy. Its go-time and they didn't need to talk about it.
Carl Never
His favorite video was jake beating the prima with tent poles. Hes going to be the first kid we watch grow with the system. Hes going to have to stay on top of his game to keep up with whatever monster art and jake make. I look forward to it id say a whole book or 2 away tho
Sarianne
Yeah, he should have expected something wrong waiting for him at home after the dinner went so well... Murphy is in the multiverse too 🤣
Prospects
I don’t think it’s that deep, bro stole a mythical rarity natural treasure. Something like that doesn’t just come for free.
Michael Fannon
I don't think Jasper can go to the 93rd universe due to his level. Unless something weird happens with the grade evolution.
Carl Never
Jake could use a dragon showing up on his doorstep
Ben Cox
What do we think the chances are that it was a now marked for death b-grade true dragon that originally had that gem and hurt jasper, could be an interesting way to link these plot points together and give jake a dragon to be angry about.
Chegs
Altmeir Empire maybe with miera, invitation from the Blightfather, The Starcrossed Twins from Nevermore also gave him a token invitation to their pantheon, True Royals invitation…so much
Calloway
Who could hurt a precious little thing like Jasper q.q
Michael Fannon
Just had a random thought... Jake is going to return to Earth soonish. And Minaga's dungeon might be finished soon. Because it can range from E to B ranks, I have no doubt Jake is going to hit the C rank one if he can but definitely the B rank. What I am wondering is if his little nephew will be old enough that the E-rank one will be one of his first dungeons. I just want the conversations between the kid and Minaga.
King Nereus
Also he did show off the bow, last chapter, so that’s the winner, right?
Fyrtue
I hope everything goes well with the ritual despite the rush. On reflection, it's impressive that Zog has so many long-term unresolved plot points that ticking a few off the list doesn't really leave us in doubt about the continued direction or foreshadowing of what might come up. Dragon hunt, fixing palate, investigating the god who's messing with earth, and his B grade evolution all on the horizon.
King Nereus
That would have bothered the two huntresses more than Artemis. He needs something better to prank her.
RnR_ RnR
Is jake about to get a free teleporter? It feels like jake might get a free teleporter
Oblivion
Well Jasper’s records were for sure boosted just procuring the gem given his Path and the difficulty of the retrieval. His upgrade is about to go crazy and I’m sure he’ll get some sort of Primal/Drifting Planes combo class which sounds so sick to me. I’m also sure whoever he stole that from is about to come looking for it. Given the location and jewel I’m willing to bet they also have some sort of teleportation skill.
TyranT-Rex
Im pretty sure we are going to get a new POV when it officially comes out that Jake and Artemis are together where Karla and Solana put it together that Diana was Artemis.
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Kelfu
Their baby!

I thought the same thing

And now I'm disappointed... I was looking forward so much to this dinner and the inevitable revelation that Diana was Artemis and ... nothing happened :(

You're gonna have a new sibling soon! Are you excited?

Thank you for the chapter
MarineDebris
Can't wait to see Jasper's evolution!!
Carl Never
I was sure art was just going to bless her at the end
David Storey
Also, I could totally see Jake going to say goodbye to Yggdrasil and Minaga is also there chained down. Jake then finds out Yggdrasil stopped him from interfering with Jake’s date lol.
David Storey
Whoever hurt Jasper is gonna pay!
Cole Kerns
This feels like it would be a Friday chapter…. Luckily it’s Monday
ExternalChaos
I would be severely disappointed but I can see it😂 ready to see what jasper evolves too
Matt
I feel like the minions of the god who is trying to start shit on Earth is responsible for attacking Jasper.
Devillelouch
Jasper being ambitious is good to see.
Lazy Dragon
I honestly doubt she went with a party. She's a one woman empire, so likely she's using her Queen's Guard to train them up.

tyftc. Hang in there little buddy.

Dinner went fine. But Karma must be balanced
Zeroxith
Jake can't evolve without fixing Palate as it would be terrible, but the ritual Jake created for Jasper was never mentioned as being affected
Hayden Leech
I would love to hear about Vespys nevermore party. What kind of group would she work well in?
Alex
Zog literally skipped a chapter last wed. This would /should have been the Friday chapter. Our dear author hasn't changed a bit
Alex
I'm just waiting on Jasper to be a girl or something silly and ridiculous
Lay Nkay
I thought Duskleaf and Nature attendant wanted to witness the ritual? I think you might consider changing the word 'curt' to 'forward' in the keerla statement
Phil Ritter
Didnt everyone tell Jake he can’t evolve without fixing palate first or he’s fucked? I know this isn’t exactly the same situation but evolving near death seems like very bad idea. Especially with severe soul damage. Yes it will heal Jasper but he might get crippled from that
Lazy Dragon
I mean, it did interrupt the (likely) post-date bedroom sparring, so I definitely think it counts
Lazy Dragon
Zog knew what we all expected and just said "nope" and honestly, I love it. Things not going wrong/wonky for once is great! I do blame Jake for things usually going weird, go Artemis for being a stabilizing presence! Can't wait for the ritual and for the girls to eventually discover how right K was 🤣
Keith Williams
i expect it to be when they show up to his place on earth at the same time Artemis has an avatar in town.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter
marland lewis
Been roughly two weeks, waiting for this ritual chapter and it surprised me by how sudden it was, great writing :)
Corwin Amber
Thanks for the chapter. Didn't Duskleaf express interest in participating?
Lemonsqueezy
So Keerla and Solana finding out will have to occur in the future. I expect it to be when the relationship is revealed to the multi-verse.
BuhDussy
Finally!!!! The ritual!! And the little guy got a Mythical item! He is going to get a wild ass evolution.
Cyranosaurus
I thought it was 110% Jake would reveal her!
Cyranosaurus
Gotta say Zogarth has definitely developed into a better person. Even a year ago this would’ve been a Friday cliff. Making me want to jump off a building🤣 I love how more and more he seems to be using the interest of the story to pull us forward because it’s still definitely plenty that I look forward to reading the chapter each day with my breakfast ! This is a really good chapter. Thank you very much!

"I’m I the only one surprised everything went so smoothly?” - Am I
Lynderyn
This would have been a perfect Friday cliff… Oh well, now when they discover Diana is Artemis it’s going to be amusing.
Manuel Schachinger
Hm, I expect Artemis to reach out to him since he is much older than her and directly told her that he wanted to attend the ritual… with teleportation that shouldn’t be a problem - if she even thinks of that in the heat of the moment.
Rewdan
Cheers Zogarth great start to the week.
IntenseSushi
Tftc, pumped to see what Jasper evolves into
Ty Cooper
Oh snap! Wonder how the evolution will go. Under distress, with boosting skill, odd treasure with odd energy, and in a rush. Lots of factors, but we can be honest with ourselves and admit that the ritual will probably go better now than if Jake waited. His instincts will be on overdrive. This treasure is really interesting and will evolve something insane! Looking forward to tomorrow. Tftc
RnR_ RnR
Im sure they will feel it.
Frederik
my guess is that this will become a long term disquise so they can go on dates without revealing themselves
Eden
Artemis gonna be converted into a believer lol
Suzanne Pearson
Thank you Zog, for releasing this chapter on a Monday instead of a Friday!

But if it works the records from his theft would be amazing

Frank? Bold? Direct? Unabashed?
Kris Piskorski
great pacing
ButterflEye
Cute lil bugger stealing a mythical as a magnum opus for his evolution looking forward to this weeks chapters for sure
Jonathan Hovey
How mad do you think Duskleaf is going to be when he learns that he missed another ritual done by the Harbinger of Primeval Origins?

Chapter 1175 Dinner bingo is now closed. With the little overlapping quote I think we did it pretty well :D Dinner Bingo: Minaga somehow crashing the date Diana gets outed as Artemis. Mushroom based food to please the Chosen. Some religion based event that makes Jake the heretic and Artemis the god-queen extremely uncomfortable. Villy out of the left field somehow getting involved or mercilessly teasing Jake about his social awkwardness. Side stories until Friday cliffhanger. Jake blows Keerla's mind by showing his new bow made by Nature's Attendant and Artemis out of Yggdrasil Quote from this chapter: "Your real identity somehow wasn’t revealed, and no other gods had done anything to mess with things. Shit, I’d halfway expected Minaga to show up halfway through, acting offended at not having gotten an invitation"

Will Jasper successfully evolve? What is Jake's plan for revenge against Artemis? Did Villy lose a bet because no gods showed up at the date? The answers to these questions and more, next time on Primal Hunter Z!

A bit disappointed they didn't reveal Artemis at the end of dinner but looking forward to the ritual for Jasper! Hopefully Keerla & Solana with realize the truth when Artemis & Jake become publicly official

Poor jasper 🥺

I really hoped for Artemis‘ identity to be revealed at the end, just for the fun of it. But the chapter was great nonetheless, thanks for the chapter!

Jake has been in a nebulous state of "just about ready" with the ritual for a long time now so I'm glad it's kicking off in earnest.

Jasper did it to himself.

I know I was looking forward to SOMETHING going wrong during the dinner, but I'm honestly glad it went smoothly. That way, we get more interactions between these three/four without it devolving into an awkwardness that can't be escaped from

I think this still counts as something unexpected happening with the dinner date. May no have happened during, but shortly after is close enough

Might want to switch words. Kerala is the opposite of curt when she's comfortable. Edit: Keerla. Damn autocorrect.

Evolving with a wounded soul seems like a sub optimal idea, even without factoring in whatever the ritual is gonna do (cuz its probably not gonna make it easier/safer).

Well played author well played

Maybe the dude who was malding on Reddit because the warpsnatcher ritual hadn’t happened yet can stop ranting now lol. Tftc

Isn't it dangerouse to evolve with a damaged soul? Soul scaring and all.

Thank u for the story

Almost had a nice, relaxing day. Almost. Still, no like pushing the ritual forward really messes things up for him, Jake usually goes into these things with only the barest notion of a plan.

Well... He was right to be suspicious 🤣 Not once will things end without some sort of chaos
