Chapter 1142 - Girl Scary
🕑 Added 2025-05-22 11:24:44 +0000 UTCArtemis seemed to take Jake’s question very seriously as she frowned deeply. After a few seconds of consideration, she sighed and spoke. “I... have a bit of a confession. While I do keep beast companions, I only started doing so in higher grades, and I’ve never actually had to name, well, anything.”
“Really?” Jake asked with surprise. “How about that Voidpiercer?”
“Already known by that name when we met,” Artemis shook her head.
“Huh,” Jake muttered. “Still, that doesn’t mean you can’t have good suggestions. I’m very open to suggestions over there.”
Artemis once more considered for a while, looking toward the little fella who was still busy sorting all his stuff. “Alright, considering it's a Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher, and taking into account its Path and magic abilities...”
Jake was waiting with bated breath as Artemis took this extremely serious during this dramatic pause. Finally, she looked at Jake, who was ready to hear the best damn name suggestion ever.
“How about Snatchie?”
Only for him to learn that perhaps Artemis was just as terrible at naming stuff as he was. Jake couldn’t help but cough at the suggestion before he chuckled. “You know, I considered the same, which means it’s certifiably a horrible name.”
“It’s not that bad,” Artemis said, crossing her arms. “It’s descriptive. The Warpsnatcher snatches things, hence Snatchie. There is a logical through-line.”
“If we actually named him Snatchie, I would get my head bashed in by Miranda,” Jake chuckled while shaking his head.
“You’re exaggerating. I doubt that assistant of yours would dare do something like that.”
“Oh, you don’t know her,” Jake insisted. “No, no, we need a better name. Something that’s an actual name would be preferable.”
Jake put on his thinking cap and considered potential names he believed could fit the little bugger. He also considered the kind of magic the Warpsnatcher was capable of, as well as where he had found it. Looking at Artemis, Jake got an idea. A name from mythology appeared that he believed could fit.
“How about Hermes?” Jake said, feeling a bit proud of that one. Hermes was a mythological god known to be able to pass through realms and represented travelers, merchants, and even thieves. The more Jake thought about it, the more-
“Hermes? Like the courier god?” Artemis asked while tilting her head a little. “I guess it could fit?”
“Wait, back up a little,” Jake said. “You know a Hermes?”
“Yeah,” Artemis nodded. “There’s a god named Hermes who commands the Hermes Trading Association, one of the largest merchant factions in the multiverse. They are especially known as excellent couriers, and when valuable goods have to be transported into restricted areas or under safe circumstances, they are likely the best there is. Especially if Hermes himself takes on the job.”
“Alright, yeah, scratch Hermes then,” Jake sighed, disappointed. Damn, he should have known there was already a god named that out there. In fact, he wouldn’t be surprised if most of the gods of mythology had counterparts in the multiverse, though evidently the details didn’t always seem to fit.
Artemis was one example of it definitely not fitting perfectly, but so was Hermes. From what Artemis said, the two barely knew one another, yet on Earth, they had been part of the same Pantheon. Thinking back, chances were humans had just interpreted the Records that bleed through and constructed their own tales based on that. History and old stories weren’t known to be the most accurate and tended to be more fiction than fact, though with the introduction of the multiverse, there were some truths here and there.
“I still think Snatchie is a good name,” Artemis muttered while looking to the side.
“Wait, are you pouting?” Jake asked as he leaned forward.
“I’m not,” Artemis insisted.
“You totally are!” Jake laughed and pointed.
“I told you. I’m not,” Artemis said, trying to sound resolute, though Jake could still see she was one hundred percent pouting after having her idea shut down.
“You know what, I think we both learned a valuable lesson today,” Jake chuckled. “We’re both equally terrible at naming things. But you do know what that means, right?”
“What?” Artemis asked, humoring him.
“We’ll have to ask others for input when the time comes,” Jake continued to joke around, as Artemis looked even more confused now than before.
“When the time comes for what?”
“Ah, never mind, it doesn’t matter,” Jake waved her off, still with a cheeky smile. “We’ll have plenty of time to decide. At least I assume so. Say, on a totally unrelated note, how is the reproductive cycle of enlightened creatures affected by the system? Specifically, gestation periods.”
Artemis looked like she was about to answer his question seriously until she realized what he was getting at. Jake really had to hold himself back from laughing as he saw her head turn slightly red before she quickly got her involuntary response under control.
“I should brand you a heretic for that kind of joke,” Artemis said, also leaning forward.
“You wouldn’t be the first one to try. Actually, thinking back, I think the last one who tried to brand me a heretic also did it shortly after coming onto me,” Jake said with a smile, remembering the Hive Queen way back then.
Artemis looked Jake directly in the eyes before sighing. “Sometimes, I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into.”
Jake was about to say something, but before he could do so, he was thrown back onto the couch, a wood elf goddess sitting on top of him. A pair of lips covered his a second later, and at that point, his only response was to reciprocate. He moved his hands to hold Artemis, but before he could, she stopped him.
He felt a tinge of pain on his lower lip as Artemis leaned back, licking her own as a drop of Jake’s blood had gotten onto them.
“Be satisfied with that,” Artemis said teasingly as she pushed herself off him while still keeping eye contact. “For now.”
Jake wanted to say something, but just shook his head instead. “You know, if you’re that insistent on Snatchie...”
“Hm?” Artemis said, acting ignorant. “No, deciding on the name is wholly up to you. My involvement will only be auxiliary at best. In the end, the Warpsnatcher is not mine to name.”
“Then- “
“But I will have veto for our firstborn,” Artemis said, her teasing smile back. “No rush, though. In your words, we’ll have plenty of time to decide when the time comes. Now, I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll see you in a couple of days. My absence should also give the Warpsnatcher plenty of time to acclimate. Oh, and don’t miss me too much. Being overly clingy is such a turnoff.”
With those words, and before Jake could say anything, she teleported away, leaving him back on the couch with a slightly bleeding lip. Jake raised a finger and swiped it off as he chuckled to himself. “Should be careful about teasing a goddess too much. Or not.”
Standing up, Jake stretched a bit. He was pretty damn sure that Artemis had no business but just made up an excuse to leave. It was a bit unfortunate, but Jake still felt in a way better mood as he headed down toward the cellar where the little fella who had yet to be named was busy doing his own thing.
All the loot had to be properly sorted, after all. The Warpsnatcher had its own spatial storage, but this storage seemed to mix up all the items, forcing the poor guy to sort everything once out. Jake wondered if it was some kind of compulsion, but as he surveyed the piles of loot, Jake felt like there was more to it.
The Warpsnatcher was very exact about where everything had to be placed. There was perfect spacing between the piles, and if he took a top-down look, it could almost look like the Warpsnatcher was setting up some kind of formation. Not that he could detect any mana or energy movements, but it was still possible that some form of Warpsnatcher Feng Shui concept was at work.
“Hey buddy, how are things going?” he ended up asking the cat-like creature as it turned and looked at him.
“Busy!” he said, turning back to continue sorting his pile.
“Do you like the place?”
The Warpsnatcher seemed in thought for a moment as his small paws kept moving. “Okay. Girl scary.”
“She can be a little scary, but she’s not dangerous,” Jake tried to comfort the little fella. “Say, have you made any considerations for what you would like to be called?”
It was a long shot, but hey, who knows? Maybe he could get lucky, and the little guy already had a name.
“Me... me!” the C-grade said after a few seconds while raising his arms as if to show off his entire body.
“I know, but I mean something like a name,” Jake said, thinking for a bit. “You know, like how I’m a human, but my name is Jake.”
The Warpsnatcher looked and Jake while turning its head nearly ninety degrees to the side. “Human... Lake?”
“Jake,” he corrected. “It’s something to make it easier to distinguish us from one another and give each person more individuality.”
“Jake... Jake...” the Warpsnatcher repeated a few times, trying to get the word correct. “Me... also Jake?”
“No, that would be confusing,” Jake shook his head. “You know, think about it a little, if there’s something you would like to be called. I’ll also think about something in the meantime, alright?”
“Okay,” the Shimmerfur Warpsnatcher agreed. Jake watched as the little guy went over and took a few more pebbles from another pile and placed them on top of the one he was currently working on. Going back one last time to grab the last pebble, the Warpsnatcher stopped before jumping over to Jake and holding the pebble high.
“You place!”
Jake looked at the pebble and back at the Warpsnatcher, who was looking up at him with his big cat-like eyes. He just couldn’t resist and picked up the pebble as the Warpsnatcher jumped with glee and led him over to the pile while holding up his small paws.
“Place!”
Doing as told, Jake placed the pebble on top as the Warpsnatcher clapped its palms in happiness.
“Done!”
“You’re finished setting up?” Jake asked with surprise.
“This done!” the Warpsnatcher said as it turned around and spread out its paws. From out of nowhere, another pile of what looked like useless junk appeared, the entire thing taller than Jake.
“More pile!”
“More pile indeed,” Jake chuckled and shook his head. “I’ll leave you to it.”
“Bye!” the little guy waved as Jake waved back and returned to the living room upstairs. Once back there, Jake took a few deep breaths before deciding to just meditate a bit to calm his mind and body.
Like that, time started passing.
Jake spent the next few days just relaxing in the palace, sometimes playing with the Warpsnatcher. A couple of days later, Artemis did indeed return, and they were very much back to business as usual, though Jake still felt they were a bit closer than before.
Not long after, the two had a brief training session, during which he had to confess that he had failed to upgrade his archery skill while away in the Hunting Ground.
However, when he explained that he had technically succeeded in manipulating how time affected his arrows, just through the use of his arcane affinity and the skill Unblemished Arrows, Artemis could only shake her head and chuckle.
“Isn’t that only a good thing? Primarily passive skills like that are incredibly powerful, and if you can separate them from your main archery skill, that’s only good. Having too complex a main fighting skill isn’t necessarily an advantage,” Artemis explained. “We don’t walk the same Path. Even if we achieve some of the same results, our way of getting there will naturally differ. In the end, I do believe there is a good chance you will eventually consolidate this Unblemished Arrows skill into your main archery skill, but keeping them separate for now is definitely recommended. But it does mean that for now, you need to consider another approach when it comes to upgrading your archery.”
“I already have an idea there,” Jake smiled, briefly outlining his plan to focus more on the distance equals more damage aspect of his archery skill, as well as his desire to make it scale more off Perception. You know, seeing as Perception was still by far his highest stat.
“Damage increasing with distance is also relatively common,” Artemis nodded. “Of course, it comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s based on flight times, other times absolute distance, and in others, it’s merely that the arrows can absorb energy from the environment while in flight, hence making them more powerful when they strike if they flew for longer. My arrows were based on the life affinity, so they naturally grew while in flight. I once shot an arrow across a galaxy, and by the time it arrived, it had already grown into a grand tree that sealed the entire solar system I had aimed at. Alongside my target, obviously.”
“Sounds like Vinearrow extreme edition,” Jake chuckled, also briefly mentioning the Vinearrow skill he had been offered during his skill selection, something that got a good chuckle out of Artemis. He didn’t tell her the actual skill he ended up picking, though. He wanted Event Horizon to be a surprise, and he hadn’t had a good chance to test it out either, so he would prefer to avoid any follow-up questions he wouldn’t be able to answer.
“More like a Treearrow,” Artemis joked, as they moved on to what else Jake had gained during his Hunting Grounds trip. Luckily for Jake, Artemis did find it amusing that Jake had gone to upgrade his archery skill, but ended up instead getting his melee skill to legendary rarity.
She was also already aware he had the Fangs of Man skill. When Jake had used it back during the Ell’Hakan and Yip of Yore debacle to make it more convincing that Jake was considering joining Valhal, the news of Jake having this skill spread far and wide throughout the multiverse. As someone who had kept up with what Jake was up to, Artemis thus naturally also knew.
“Your natural talents truly do lean more towards a melee fighting style, if I’m being perfectly honest,” Artemis said after Jake did a brief demonstration of his upgraded skill.
“But I like the bow more,” Jake argued.
“I wasn’t suggesting you should focus only on melee combat,” Artemis corrected herself. “I would actually consider it a positive. One of the biggest weaknesses of archers in the multiverse is what happens when the enemy gets close. Usually, we deal with this by finding means to keep our foe at a distance, but your situation is unique. You can seamlessly switch between both fighting styles and remain a pinnacle combatant, no matter the case.”
“Yeah, yeah, I know I’m awesome,” Jake waved her off. “The only quality I have surpassing my awesomeness is my humbleness.”
“You mispronounced arrogance,” Artemis chuckled.
“Gotta be at least a little arrogant, you know? In fact, did you know I’m arrogant enough to even dare pursue a goddess?” Jake smiled. “Now if that ain’t peak arrogance, I don’t know what is.”
“I would call it delusional, but if it’s working out for you, I guess that doesn’t really fit,” Artemis smiled in return.
Jake was about to flirt back as Artemis’ expression suddenly changed. She turned her head and looked out the palace window, straight toward the utterly massive tree in the distance. After nodding a few times, she looked back at Jake.
“The Mother Tree has asked for our presence. Your presence, more specifically,” Artemis said.
“Is it about the Fallen King?” Jake asked, fully back to serious mode.
“Yes... and something about a bow?”

Artemis having awful naming sense guarantees she and Jake are suited for each other. Didn't Jake's parents name one of their kids after a beer? It's family tradition. 😂
genkism
I'm late to the naming game and it probably already has a name at this point but I keep thinking of the warpsnatcher as Snarf
Chloe
I absolutely LOVE the slice of life convo, flirting, and kiss with Artemis. That and Sylphie are the 2 best parts. If Artemis said "Ree!" To everything, I'd probably pass out smiling. Tyftc
Dave
Nice
Carl Gherardi
I vote for Jack, but add "Five" for consideration - five finger discount, and the fifth beast Jake officially named. Hawkie, Misty, Sylphie, Sandy, Five. I also like the old misdirection about releasing 3 pigs painted with 1, 2 and 4 into an area. It would be the 4th beast with Jake juice, named Five to make the multiverse wonder.
jord
I hope that at some point will be clinging to a cliff, and for whatever reason Artemis is there. The clingy turn off is brought up again and he walks up the wall with magic, then decides to just have fun and walks up the cliff by shoving his feet into stone like Dio from Jojos bizarre adventure.

If I kept up with the chapters and knew of the naming, I would of suggested Looter.

On second thought, all I can think of when picturing this is that "I'm a thnaaaaake" meme
Timothy Spradlin
We need a short story on the creation on some of these fan factions. Asking for a friend
James Faulkner
Rizzlord Jake haha, I love their chemistry Tftc!
J W
Nah... he asked for ideas but had already written the rest of the weeks releases. Next week we will find out that he in fact went with my and many other's choice of Bob.
Phil Ritter
Zog called all our ideas shit by not giving it a name. Touché. At least my suggestion really was
brjenness
There's definitely a lot going on in this arc to keep us looking forward to every chapter.
Kristoffer
But you know that if he does that, then the king will not return that chapter and it'll just be the prep work sand the a cliffhanger for the weekend.
Kristoffer
And the best part is that it makes perfect sense. Minaga told us that gods know when they are directly mentioned and Dina mentioned both Nature's Attendant Yggdrasil when she suggested the bow.
Blutako
What if we named him snake, as in snatcher jake?
Blutako
You do remember the coliseum right, and if you're referring to biting Jake's lip, she's a hunter who loves thrills and powerful people, of course she is freaky
Georgia Guy-Williams
Same....
jsw
Since Jake and Miranda are can now hold meetings, couldn't he just skip the game of telephone and ask her in their next meeting?
Elijah Belfer
Why is Artemis freaky asf…
Richard Rader
“Yes... and something about a bow?” I keep saying best mike drop ever, then he ups the game. what’s the point anymore… Zog is a master of leaving us hanging and desperate for more

Warpy…warpy…warpy FTW. Great slice of life chapter
Marcus Ruth
Herman has my vote

I wanna know how the gestation periods work after the system😭✌️
Cory Olson
Gonna go with Shifty has my vote
Edward Sutton
Hurst. As in Hurst shifter. I know it’s weird but warpsnatchers shifts locations, and when I thought “shifty” my brain went to Hurst.

Jake lost in this chapter... he lost veto rights lol
Logan
Snatchie!!!!!
Jordan
This Pantheon of Life arc might be my second favorite arc you’ve written behind the coliseum of mortals. I’ve enjoyed the hell out of the character development, I loved all the fights, the upgrades from the hunting trip were well done, and the development in the Jake/Artemis relationship adds a fun twist to all of it. Really well done, keep it up!
SqrlyGrly
Me too!
Alejandro Piña
I think Jake should, as a proper good heretic, ask the viper, to tell the witches to ask Miranda, what would be the best name.

Thanks for the chapter! I've only been reading for 3-4months but I love this story!!

As for the name, use Àrpax. It's literally the Greek word snatcher (άρπαξ)
Georgia Guy-Williams
Stupid thought but what about Houdini... Master escape artist a role he could grow into. Maybe better than my other thought of Arracher from french to snatch things
Baged
As long as he's not called Cecil—or whatever that plot abomination was named.
SinCinnamon
Duskleaf’s ship is under attack!
Dalton Service
What if we name him Zog?
Tyler S.
I could just see a completely annoying banter between bow FK and Jake, which would end with Jake roasting it in alchemical fire
Tyler S.
I remember hearing this somewhere, is it just a poem or a song?
Geoffrey
He's got those good senses for danger. I say call him Pete.

Shimmy Yoink, first of his name

prob involving is the fallen king completely back including personality and memories. that might be Monday with tomorrow being bow and then a...is it going to work ending

This has quickly become one of my favorite stories of all time. The manhua definitely doesn't do this story justice. I think the critter should be named baguette.

Crazy how Artemis is thinking of kids of tho prob when he reach a or s rank but a Demi god child with his bloodline is crazy mate …. I would love to see his origins used on a dragon

An on going reminder of the Jake / Jacob imbroglio, with a nod to Austin Powers?
Keion
Thanks for chapter I vote for faze
Russell Widger
The Idea for the bow is to use a branch of ygdrassil
Ty Cooper
Oh my goodness thus chapter was too good. It had it all, the fan references, the flirting with a goddess, the bow, the fallen king, even a mention of first born. What a chapter. Tftc! ....... then I remember it It is Thursday. Tomorrow's cliffhanger is going to be rough.
Blutako
Yeah im pretty sure he gets us are from the last cliffhanger just to put us on another stacked on top of another it's more like he builds a new cliff above our last one gives us temporary safety while he takes us up to let us dangle from the new one
brjenness
zog is raising the cliffs we are hanging off of and building new cliffs underneath. ...or he is flicking us from one cliff to a higher one so he can let us slinky down them all later.
Quinn
I’m on voting a name based on some mundane earth object he finds takes and likes. Like what’s your name little guy ( plate, water bottle, coin, flower, silverware, toothbrush)
Hayley
I dont need to read the chapter to know girl scary lmao

I like tiny Jake

I know Zog posted the image of how the warpsnatcher looks like on Discord, but I always imagined its front paws to be like a raccoon and that mental image makes it like 5 times more adorable in my head
TyranT-Rex
Better get the tissues ready
TyranT-Rex
She got a Hand crafted item from Villy that will likley help her get to god queen and now she is going to play a small part in Jake Juice Shenanigans. She's having all these opportunities because of a short interaction her image had with a C grade in a challenge dunegeon. I think its fair for her to make it clear that she is genuinely interested. She felt the records that swept through the multiverse when Jake made Vespy, so she knows the potential impact this can have on her. But I do still think you have a valid point.
Alejandro Piña
Now, my question is, will Jake’s casual flings with Carmen have to stop now?
Daylyn Shkoditch
Ask him again and the Warpsnacher picks TJ. Tiny Jake.
Jose Reyna
Tftc!!!!

I feel like Artemis shouldn’t be acting like this with Jake. Not yet. I don’t feel like he/they have done enough for her to be jumping his bones like that. It feels… off, wrong, too early. Hear me out… So level 0 Artemis image was deeply attracted to lv0 Jake because he beat her, displayed power and a powerful hunters instinct that she couldn’t resist so much so she told real Artemis to pursue him. Then the real deal came and observed and was more than intrigued by his nevermore performances. But apart from the little primordial viewing party aura battle (which im sure she loved) all he did was peak C grade stuff and to a Goddess.. that’s hardly marriage material. The rest is just lists of achievements. Then since they met at POL he hasn’t done anything “primal huntery” he hasn’t done anything that would send shock waves through the multiverse and my personal belief is that it would take witnessing something like that to make a God like Artemis undo trillions of years of caution and act like this. Don’t get me wrong the adorable nerdy flirting is great, and how they opened up on their feelings, I just don’t think that she would pounce and act this way from purely that. All he has done since he has met her is some monster C grade stuff. But not unique. It feels more to me that he needs to do something that blows her socks off, some primeval origins shenanigans or bloodline finishing move that involves her in some way to erode what should be the last of her doubts. Zog has plenty of time and space to add that. Snatchie’s evolution for example could be one such vehicle. She could get levels, get a title or simply with her hunter goddess level perception perceive some deep and here-to-unmentioned aspect of his primeval origin, something that hints at some sort of long dormant mythical power. Something that as a huntress, a nearly God Queen huntress, would truly find irresistible. Don’t slaughter me 😊
Brandon Racca
I advocate for normal sounding names. John, Cooper, David etc.
Ondřej Fritz
I see big cliffhanger incoming 🥲
Medicine Man
Fourth
Crimsonkap
I agree with you, but also all my relationships like that have definitely been some level of toxic 😭 I think it’s fine though, cause Jake is way more of an anomaly than Artemis ever was, is, or will be. Him being the one to drop uncomfortable probing questions kinda fits I think
Beckendwarf
I saw the name of the chapter, and even without reading, I agree. Girl scary indeed Edit: Back from reading the chapter now. I have to reiterate my comment before. Girl scary. But if Jake and Artemis aren’t perfect for each other, I don’t know who is? I mean, that naming sense? Obviously only soulmates can match each other with such awful names. I’m glad they’re asking others about what to name their firstborn. Should help😂
Kat
I still advocate for the name Cooper if we are starting away from mythology
Kanyau
I stg, if we get a weekend cliff just before the King awakens I may cry!
Kasey Lindenmayer
I think Yoink would be a great name for him
Liliumsaccatum97
Their first child will obviously be named Jackie, regardless of gender. No need to argue about that one at least XD
Jeremiah Lambert
He would just be called Rob first and his nickname would then be, Bob. And then Bobby....
SqrlyGrly
You excited about your new little brother?
lockx
Am I the only one thinking the Warpsnatcher is setting up a formation for evolution?
WaxDinosaur
When Jake learned there was a god named Hermes, I was hoping he would get side tracked and just start asking about any god he could think of from earth’s mythologies to see which were real
InfernoDroid
I had the name I suggested, chosen then rejected in this chapter. I'm not sure how to feel lol
Matthew Smith
Quite the wholesome chapter there.
brjenness
Refried king
DirePants
Fallen King Bow! 😂 I’d love that for real. But I think he’ll need to use his arcane mana either for the bow or fallen kings revival or he’ll be told that he needs an item for Kings revival sending him on a quest. Loved that playful scene between the two of them though. Both Snatchie and Hermes are out but there’s still room for Herman 🤔 And of course the BEST suggestion: Hopper 😏 But be proud to know so many of you who suggested Snatchie are great at bad names just like Jake and a full blown goddess… it means you guys have a lot of potential 😂 For a second I thought I was wrong and there was no actual Hermes god. But does that mean the undead might have an Anubis in their pantheon maybe? The lore of this world is so damn interesting!
Corvid
All hail the return of The Once and Future King
Corvid
He's leaned on and used the idea a bunch where he suspends the arrows in midair until there's hundreds of them, so having the opposite would be cool. Just Instant Transmission Arrow
nick
I still say Bob. It's simple and confusing
Austin Barton
Name him ratatoskr because he will eventually have access to the entire multiverse by itself.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter
James
As the one who suggested Hermes, I was riding high for a solid 2 paragraphs.
Pål Drageset
What about "Brer" or "Zomo". They are both trickster rabbits from mythology
Jordan Jones
I mean, I love the story, but this is very “man pretending to be a baddie talking to a man” dialogue. Where are the random tangents purposely curated to throw a guy off balance? Where are the subtle teasing challenges engineered to make a guy unsure if they’re serious or not? Where are the uncomfortably probing questions that are seemingly about nothing at all, but make you question everything to expand the relationship? Or maybe all of my relationships are just toxic lol. Still, some mysterious and challenging dialogue would not be amiss if this is to continue. Their first interaction was good. Perhaps a ritual to create a temporary clone to interact with that is similar to the situation in the World Wonder?
SCHWING PAPI
Lit
Kswiss
Just thought about this. Jake definitely needs a new title for entering into a relationship with a goddess while still in C grade. I feel like it's been a long while since he got a new title
Armando Pastrana
What about robin for robin hood, also an alusion to robing someone
Tristan
Thats perfect good name
Chase Quandt
Doug
Austin Lasseigne
the only obvious name is bandit
Cecelia Jean
How about Warren? It's a real name but also it seems to like it's hidey holes.
Ira White
Incoming fetch quest. In order to restore the fallen king Jake is going to need to go to the mushroom world wonder and return with the cores of 4269 b grade mushrooms and 1 the corpse of the emperor of mushrooms 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Andyr98
There already talking about babies I'm hoping they wait until atleast s grade for Jake after he kills his first god for the records for the child
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
Awesome they’re going to do the bow
Kyler
I’m thinking he uses time on the arrow to fast forward it where the distance it travels scales off the time that’s passed.. quicker arrows, and harder hitting since they travelled through time
Chicken God
Based on the two's naming prowess it woulf be something lile jakie or artemy
Colton Horton
I 100% see jake looking at a small half-elven baby and basing a name off one of the only physical descriptions available. All Hail Baby SQUISHY! You shall be squishy and you shall be mine. You shall be my squishy.
Xien
lol we should rename the fallen king to just felled… omg that was bad but it’s still funny
Zach Newman
A NEW BOW AND RETURN OF THE FALLEN KING LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!!!
austin kutz
He'll cum his pants while begging to be allowed to touch it. Jake will be so weirded out that he'll allow it, Felix will start sobbing and try to put it in his mouth
Alex Salamanca
They were made for each other. Meira has quite a lot of catching up to do
Gabe Stankiewicz
Ayyye ayyyee AYYYEEE FINALLY!!!! Artemis couldn’t hold back for a moment hehe I’m so happy their relationship is developing slowly but surely
KenTX325
Imagine Felix reacting when Jake shows up with a mythical or Devine bow made from a branch of a primordial.
Phasmatic7
Thankies for the chappie zogie
mucky 12
Oo I like that. Jack is also slang "to steal or take something" so it also describes the little guys path. Nice!
PatienceHoney
So, I'm thinking Miranda is going to get to name the shimmer warpsnatcher. And I have gathered some appropriate names from human baby names website... Asher - Of Hebrew origins, this name means “fortunate”. (This could be taken two ways - lucky and fortune gatherer) Eli - This is a Greek name that means “light” and a Hebrew name that means “high”. Grayson - An Old English name that means “to shine”. Hugo - This is another German name that means “bright soul”. Jasper - This is a Persian name that means “keeper of treasure” or “treasure bearer”. (This is my favorite) Luca - An Italian name that means “bringer of light”. But regarding Jake and Arty's future child. I imagined them naming them Jakarta and everyone being wow, that's great...one of its meaning is completely victory... but Jake and Arty just smashed their names together....

Is the fallen king the living weapon? or is part of the living weapon made from the fallen king? are they separate? I can't wait. I know Zo probably won't reveal anything tommorow though, so I can't wait for Monday. Wow i cannot believe I just thought and wrote that. Monday?
David Shoop
Would it be possible to get a stat check for Jake? Maybe in a Saturday bonus chapter? 🙏
Alexander C Hyde
The Warpsnatcher looked (at)and Jake while turning its head nearly ninety degrees to the side. “Human... Lake?”

Tyftc ! =) Lets see that living weapon !
SinCinnamon
I want to add Bao to the name list. It’s treasure in mandarin. I looked it up in Danish but Skat could be wrongly interpreted by the English community…
Ves
Johnson, a great name.
Daniel Brian
"You mispronounced 'arrogance'" Best line in the chapter! Having said that....FALLEN KING! 👑
greg belokopitsky
Hahaha love the Snatchie parts thanks you so much for this chapter Zogarth!
That one, right there.
He should get Artemis involved in this, firstly it will be their first little couple project that if all things go according to the usual amount of chaos might even be able to be called their first born. Secondly it’s really funny when she sees him going all heretic in front of her.
SinCinnamon
Jake should definitely have gotten a profession level. That’s the most Heretic-Chosen thing to do.
SinCinnamon
Bow Time!
Jonathan Hovey
What about Jak? Similar to the Capuchin monkey in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Steven Tuttle
Thank you for the books and chapters. Waking up each week day and having a chapter to read really helps me with maintain my sobriety. I am able to wake up each day and get lost in the world. You have created while spurring on my own desire to wright. So thank you very much and please continue to keep up the great work
Sarianne
Happy we still have tomorrow before it's weekend, but already afraid of the cliff we're approaching 😅
Kristoffer
He still might
Haaki0
Could also be (Artemis considered this extremely serious) but ( Artemis took this extremely seriously. ) Just fits better.
cory eck
The warpsnatcher should be named Oscar like Oscar the grouch who collected various trinkets from the garbage he lived in.
Stephan Bartz
I thought for sure Jake would name him Mimi after the warpsnatcher said “me..me!”
Lynderyn
Primordial uber-bow-of-doom incoming.
C0bra$
Thank u for the story
Kristoffer
Maybe, maybe not, but it's definitely a milestone that will influence one of his options when he get to B grade.
OnEyeDevil
Wait till tomorrow then it will be a divine rarity cliffhanger
PatienceHoney
I had the same thought!
Daniel Smith
I don't think anything would be better, Jake having to explain to Miranda that it names itself snatchie would be priceless
Matthew Avery
I wonder if Artemis or Jake's class leveled up from that kiss.
JSC
Really… you end the chapter there… ?!? You are a cruel, cruel man. 😞
Patrick Cook
Corey s. is correct pebbles is the correct name
Patrick Cook
Jake's doing the Nigel thornberry "what a woman"

The King would be so fucking pissed hahaha

Sylphie
REE!!
Winterspite
Great chapter, thanks!
Kswiss
Ayyyy finally some good teasing/flirting between the two of them. Definitely want to see more of them together. Was really worried it'd just end up being a fairly platonic relationship up until Jake reaching A or S rank which would definitely be too slow of a burn. Also happy to see Artemis having the same terrible naming conventions as Jake, that was the suggestion I had from yesterday's chapter. tftc and keep em coming!
MarineDebris
Gotta make sure to consult the Scary/Hot Scale before pursuit, tho. There's always them that hotness just ain't hot enough to not run the hell away!
Randall Jones
Also momo is from Avatar the last airbender
Fdrugc
Tftc also i love the banter lastly suggested edits (Artemis took this extremely serious) it should be Artemis took this extremely seriously.
Burkes
And it’s only Thursday. Crazy. That would have been a mythical rarity cliff.
Fdrugc
Why would anyone think she is a noble woman?
Vega
Thanks for the chapter!
AfroMocha
Ooooh shit Jake and the king rematch!! New skill and new bow to try out too! Lol funny thought what if the King is Jake's new bow lol neither of them would ever allow that but still
Sammy Gilbert
What if the fallen king became a living bow. That would be so awesome.
Victor Desantiago
Ha! I can see them naming their first child Hunter.
Max
Yeah, but spelled bawb
Boffadeez
Ayo I'm bricked up rn. 💀 Also stoked for the bow and 2wice fallen king baby groot style
Victor Desantiago
No the bow was mentioned on chap. 1098 by Dina. She gave Jake the idea to ask Nature Attendants for a living weapon made out off one of branches from the world tree.
scarredrazor
I love Artemis more every single time she appears in a chapter.
Cory S.
PEBBLES needs to be the name for the Warpsnatcher. Oh and TFTC!
dash w
Thanks for the chappy
Tilen Praprotnik
Thanks for the chapter
SmokeJam
This chapter should alleviate the misconception in the comments that Artemis is a noble woman :D
Michelle Maurice
TFTC :)
Kyle Stitt
love the banter between those two
Slygaming
So is the fallen king going to come back as a growth weapon in the form of a bow? Already naturally able to warp wood as his body doubt he would be unable to change his soul shape into a bow form.
Zac Thompson
Momo! Is a play on him going "Me...me!" Then there's mo' me
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth loving your work
JJB4345_80_815

Thanks for the chapter! And this whole arc, really enjoying it!
Shadowessence
I got the warpsnatchers name!! W.I.L.L (warp, in, loot, leave)
JJB4345_80_815
So, did Artemis find a way to surreptitiously swipe a drop of Jake's blood? Does she have any plans for it?
Randall Jones
Loved it! The Artemis chemistry is really awesome! Snatchie is probably going to name itself Snatchie… that would be hilarious!
Harbby
Yessssss
Vettu
Time for a new bow 🤑🤑
BumAssBumAss
Jake definitely got some exp from that kiss, even if it wasn't enough for a full level
JJB4345_80_815
Jake does like thinking with his arrow...
Leviathan
I'm hoping Jake's eventual bow he'll have for life is just referred to as "Bow of the Primal Hunter"
Xander
Maybe he could steal a lump of purest green
Exaiter
Bow from Yggdrasil gonna be lit AF. Also I vote once again for snatchie. Or grabbie, or takei, or stealy, or taky.
JJB4345_80_815
Their first child is going to be named Cryie
Xander
TFTC :) Suggested edits: " interpreted the Records that *bleed* through" should be "bled" from context. "laughing as he saw her *head* turn slightly red" previously its been ears or face. not necessarily an error. Possibly missing the word "whole" before head though as it stands.
Miles Mouton
Fallen King resurrection and Bow upgrade incoming
Noah Mclelland
Ok so Artemis made the first move??? Also love the chemistry lol

I still think the name should be Kate... Short for Bob 😁
Inv7ctus
Oh no, Artemis why, you were supposed to be a good influence on him, not make him worse! Now we're doomed to a legacy of legendary progenitors who only ever use their titles to hide the shame of their awful awful names.
Levi
Loved it
Max
Had to double check it wasn’t Friday 😂. Can’t wait for tomorrow chapter.
Anime Problem
Jake took one step forward she pulled him up 27 more the second he gave her an opening.

I am still not given up on Warpert. Anyway thanks for the chapter Zogarth and can we see Jack x Artemis cannon now. The ship seems sailed to me.
Steven Myer
You going to do us like this Big Z? Bringing the King himself back with a Friday cliff hanger. I might not make it to Monday, depending how far the cliff is.
Abriel Blauer
The falling King is coming back.... As Jake new bow
Unwillingmainer
Yes little fella, the girl is very scary. However, she is also very hot, so big bro Jake may not be thinking clearly.
Naotsugu97
All the best girls are kinda scary! That’s why they’re the best! TFTC!
Cody Parker
What about Loot? Since he is a loot goblin
