Chapter 1054 - Bow Quest
🕑 Added 2025-01-15 12:15:33 +0000 UTC“This place really is shabby compared to Bobby’s planet,” Carmen muttered as she walked through the small city with Sven, the City Leader of the place. She had just returned to Earth only about an hour ago, and in all honesty, she didn’t really wanna be there. At least she had one person she actually liked around, as on her other side walking with them was Pam, the City Leader of the town Carmen had claimed the Pylon of Civilization to create once upon a time.
“We are effectively just an outpost here on this planet, so we can’t lean too hard into the ways of Valhal unless we want to scare visitors off,” Sven said, shaking his head.
“See, I would argue the opposite. We would have way more visitors if it was more like over there,” Carmen insisted.
“Most people don’t like getting drop-kicked by other customers while out shopping,” Pam said, shaking her head.
“Why not? Seems like a fair way to decide who gets the last item,” Carmen shrugged with a toothy smile. “But I guess I get your point. Still, we should make it more like Valhal for them to really get the culture so people can see if it’ll be a fit for them. That way, we will at least avoid them feeling too out of water while visiting actual Valhal territory.”
“That is the plan, but it will take some time, and for now, we are still working on properly reestablishing a connection with other surrounding City Leaders,” Sven explained. “Our ploy of acting as if we are fully on the side of Yip of Yore lost us a lot of allies and had many show apprehension about even approaching us, and while they are all coming back now, these things take time, and we need to establish a lot of contracts... this time with far better terms for us.”
Carmen just nodded along, not really caring much as she looked at Pam. “Damn was it a good choice to make you the City Leader so you can deal with all that shit.”
“It’s not like I’m really dealing with it either,” Pam sighed. “There’s more competent people handling that. Who would have thought that thoughtlessly giving the City Leader position to the one person you knew wouldn’t necessarily get you a competent leader?”
“Hey, it worked out for Jake,” Carmen argued.
“Miranda wasn’t a boxing coach but someone with at least some level of managerial experience. Plus, she actually cares about being a leader while I just misappropriate funds to make the gym I actually spend my time running better,” Pam said shamelessly.
“Funnily enough, that seems more in line with the Valhal culture than Sven and his contracts,” Carmen semi-joked. She was totally on board with Pam’s actions as the gym had actually turned out quite nice based on the last time she visited.
Sven just shook his head and didn’t argue or comment as the three of them headed toward the main office where they would be having a meeting with a bunch of all the City Leaders Leaders who were affiliated with Valhal.
During all the scheming and all that bullshit, Valhal had indeed taken a hit to their presence on Earth, but they hadn’t actually lost control of any cities. They had pulled back and lost some citizens, sure, but no one had dared move too aggressively toward a faction known for being fighting fanatics. Now they were ready to make a full comeback as it was now clear to all that they had been on the “right” side all along and that there was a strong bond between the World Leader and their faction.
Miranda had also sent out clear communication that Valhal had been in on the Malefic Viper’s plan and all his scheming, leading to an instant resurgence of their reputation on Earth. The top brass of Valhal naturally jumped at the opportunity to better establish themselves on a planet that had quickly become an important strategic location in the ninety-third universe.
Earth was a planet where so many talents who were sure to make a big name for themselves in the future hailed from. To make it even more important in Valhal’s eyes, a lot of these individuals were humans. Jake, Jake’s brother, herself, Maria, the Augur, Sword Saint, Arnold, and even people like William and Miranda. There were so many extraordinary individuals from Earth alone, so why wouldn’t Valhal want to establish themselves there?
It wasn’t a stretch to believe more talented people would also be born in the future, and even now, the average fighter was a lot stronger than the average on other planets. The average level was also surprisingly high, and from the looks of it, people just kept progressing, meeting walls far later than expected, truly hammering home the absolutely overflowing Records of the planet.
Every large faction knew this and wanted a presence if they could, which was naturally part of the reason many had sent people to “help” Earth during Jake’s Chosen ceremony.
In truth, Carmen didn’t care much about all the politics. She would leave that for the people who knew what they were doing and actually gave a shit. All she cared about was not being ostracized on her own planet and having freedom of movement, and as things were looking, she would have that and more.
The same couldn’t be said about some other factions. Many of the faction outposts established by the immigrants from other factions were heavily limited in influence, with them being granted their own little “countries” being in the talks. From how Sven put it, every faction would essentially end up with their own passports and territory, with Valhal looking like it would have a top-tier passport, only below those officially part of Jake’s faction and equal to the Court of Shadows.
Speaking of the Court of Shadows, Carmen could only imagine they were happy with how they’d hedged their bets so far. Same for the Golden Road Emperium – the merchant faction Sultan and most of the other big merchants of Earth now belonged to. They had backed Jake or at least stayed neutral from the very beginning and were now reaping the profits for their belief.
Meanwhile, the Holy Church had to be kicking themselves for being such assholes. If only they didn’t have such a hate boner for the Risen and vampires, they would definitely also have had their own country at the end of everything, but now it looked as if they would be lucky if they managed to get a single building to use as an embassy.
Especially after what was about to happen. Because, just before Carmen entered the meeting with all of the City Leaders from Valhal, she got a message sent by Miranda on account of Jake. One that made her smile from ear to ear.
“It’s with great sadness I inform you two that I’ve been called for something more important. The World Leader requires my presence,” Carmen said, not even trying to hide how happy she was to have the perfect excuse to bail on what would no doubt be an incredibly boring few hours of sitting in a meeting she didn’t care about in the first place.
“Oh?” Pam said, flashing a teasing smile. “Running off to your boyfriend, now are you?”
“Piss off,” Carmen said, waving off the older woman.
“The higher-ups definitely wouldn’t complain if-“
“Yeah, no, not interested, and it’s not gonna happen,” Carmen cut off Sven. “Anywho, I’m off.”
“Well, if you just decided to get a-“
“Sven, I’m going to tear your arms off and make you eat them if you finish that sentence,” Carmen said, not at all joking.
The warrior shut up as Carmen turned around and quickly left the office building, having successfully escaped the boring political meeting.
--
When Jake spoke to Miranda when he returned to Earth after killing Ell’Hakan, she had mentioned that Arnold was back in his workshop and didn’t particularly want to be disturbed – something he had kind of forgotten, but in his defense, it felt like years ago he’d been told even if it was not even a day ago to everyone else. Luckily, she reminded Jake as he contacted her on the way to Arnold, asking her to get in touch with Carmen as he had to ask her about his upcoming Holy Church trip, and he didn’t even know if she was even on the planet currently.
Jake naturally respected the scientist and thus didn’t barge in but actually used the main entrance without hiding his presence. He entered the massive dome-shaped structure and was soon met by the receptionist or assistant or whatever she was. Jake didn’t know her name or anything about her really, but she had worked there for many years. It was understandable why Arnold liked having her around, though.
She clearly didn’t care much about getting to know Jake either and gladly had him sit and wait for twenty minutes after she informed Arnold Jake was there. Something he did without complaint as he made good use of any downtime he had by closing his eyes and playing around in his Soulspace a bit.
After he was given the go-ahead, Jake entered the workshop and headed down to where he saw Arnold through his sphere. The scientist was busy as always, working on some weird tech Jake didn’t even bother trying to understand.
“Hey Arnold, I hope I’m not disturbing you too much,” Jake said as he walked in, the scientist not even turning to look at him.
“What do you need?” he just asked, knowing Jake so well.
“The thing is, my bow is feeling a bit under the weather, and I’m about to go invade the main planet of the biggest faction in the multiverse in our galaxy, and it would really suck if I couldn’t even shoot arrows at them if they decided to be dicks during my visit,” Jake said with a smile.
“I’m not a bowyer,” Arnold simply said with a deadpan tone.
“I know, I know, but you’re still my best hope of getting anything halfway useful,” Jake said. Okay, he did have a few more options, but he did believe that there was a good chance Arnold had something lying around.
Arnold finally turned around, having finished tinkering with the weird motherboard-looking thing on the table, as he regarded Jake. “I don’t have any bows and have never had the intention to make one. According to all calculations, a bow would lead to a lesser output in all scenarios compared to other methods.”
“Hey, don’t go flaming bows,” Jake said, crossing his arms.
“Bows require physical exertion. It’s a waste of energy to make a construct wield a bow and not simply install a more efficient propulsion device should I wish to shoot physical projectiles,” Arnold answered, his words a bit offensive to Jake’s sensibilities even if he understood.
It probably did make more sense for Arnold just to make a railgun or some shit, having everything run off magic rather than make a robot capable of shooting with a bow. It was a glaring weakness in Arnold’s Path, but no one could be perfect, and Jake could only accept the scientist’s shortcomings.
“So you don’t have anything?” Jake asked, a bit disappointed.
“No bows, no,” Arnold shook his head. “I’m also not ready to provide you with any more upgrades in other areas. Other projects have fallen behind due to recent events, leading to unintended delays I have yet to make up for.”
“Alright... alright,” Jake sighed, wondering what he should do now. Maybe he should go look for some merchants and try to get a good bow from them? It definitely sucked that their universe was still locked out of the rest of the multiverse due to the system event, as if not, he could have gone somewhere with actually skilled crafters that could either help him get a new bow or preferably help upgrade his old one.
As things were, Jake was simply too ahead of the curve for their small galaxy to have what he needed, and there was no way he was going to find a skilled bowyer capable of-
“Why have you not sought out Maria from the Crimson Flame?” Arnold suddenly asked.
“... oh yeah, she was totally a bowyer, wasn’t she?” Jake muttered to himself, having totally forgotten what her profession was. In his mind, she always just registered as the one other enlightened person on the planet who knew bows were the best weapon. It did make sense she also knew how to make them, and he did have a bow made by her for a while.
“She is,” Arnold nodded, not really having caught that Jake’s question was rhetorical.
“Thanks for reminding me,” Jake smiled, giving Arnold a thumbs up. “I knew it was a good idea to go here first. Ah, but one last thing... out of curiosity, how many mythical skills do you have by now?”
“Six,” the scientist responded without hesitation, making Jake’s eyes open wide.
“How the fuck have you tied me?” he blurted out before he quickly remembered something. “One of them is a skill you got from your Blessing from Oras, right?”
“Correct,” the man confirmed, making Jake breathe out a sigh of relief because that one totally didn’t count, and if it did, Jake would also be able to count his divine skill.
“I’m still winning, then,” Jake said triumphantly with a big smile.
“I was unaware any form of competition took place,” Arnold responded with his usual tone.
“Not an official one, but if it did, I would have won it,” Jake still claimed victory nevertheless. “Anyway, thanks for the tip, and I’ll let you get back to your work. Ah, but one thing, I may need your help a bit later. I plan on heading to the main planet controlled by the Holy Church and would like to also keep at least one person in backup while I’m there in case I need support.”
“Very well,” Arnold nodded, not asking for any details or complaining about Jake giving him more work.
With that, he left and also said goodbye to the personal assistant on the way out. As he left, he couldn’t help but once more think about just how scarily talented Arnold was. The guy didn’t have a First Sage to teach him, and he also got the feeling Oras wasn’t the most hands-on Patron, so he had more or less made all his insane progress on his own.
Just happy he’s on my side, Jake thought, also reminding himself to bring the scientist more stuff to experiment with. Best to stay on his good side lest Jake wanted to deal with orbital bombardment beams and void lasers shooting from a few galaxies away in the future.
Outside of Arnold’s workshop, Jake decided to enter stealth as Jake continued his quest for a bow, with his first task being to find where the hell Maria was currently at so she could hopefully lend him a hand... or, better yet, an entire bow.

I think the author has great ideas. By making his hero forgetful, he can hide his own forgetfulness.
ali özcan karteper
He can offer saint knowledge for the bow it's really easy
Greedsmith
Jake still forgetting things as always 😂
Phil Ritter
If given enough reason he would probably act against Jake he is very calculating and if the profits outweigh the negatives he would support potential enemies but at that point it would Jake’s fault for not supporting him enough. My guess is that he will stay neutral and become an existence like the blacksmith primordial or Aeon reaching the peak by simply focusing on his profession without a care for politics
Phil Ritter
Nah the risen won’t get involved unless forced to. It would damage their image and make enemies of everyone in the galaxy still holding good feelings for the church which will be unavoidable
Phil Ritter
I don’t think the factions get a choice where they set up camp. They either accept the place given or as Jake likes to say they fuck off
Phil Ritter
This is not something our mortal minds would be able to comprehend
Maou Razonica
Oh, Oras is very hands on right? I remember Arnold directly talking to them just to go over some knowledge. I think they're very involved. Which means that the First Sage help is also cancelled out!

We need an Arnold chapter one of these days

@Xander that's a very silly interpretation of what I said, and I hope you feel silly for thinking anyone would see Arnold as a villain over that

Maybe Jake can get a bow from his earthbound Minaga’s labyrinthine
Max
He ist the individual with the Most Potential and Talent in the 93rd universe and i even see a buildup for Arnold being stronger than Jake for B/A Grade. Jake isnt more talented than Arnold He ist more gifted by His bloodline. thats a big diffrence..
Visesh Kodali
I can support this wholeheartedly
Asher Mack
One could say he’s due for… Nature’s Gift?
Asher Mack
Arnold is both incredible and dangerous because he very well might be the second/third most talented individual in the 93rd universe… and with Oras as a Patron he’s one of the bigger unknowns right now
Stuart Thwaites
Not enough value on a 93rd universe Holy Church planet. He'd have to trade in one from the 92nd or older.
Rocotrap
Maybe they'll be flirting though archery duels, remember how he and Carmen spent that "intense" day away from the public eyes
C Smith
Jake is just going to have to do a planet sacrifice on one of the holy church plaents with a Devine Trade with Villie to get a decent bow.
Win Rar
Thanks for the work. Originally found on Amazon then came here to catch up to current. You have created such a fun story/world.
kandiana
Pretty sure it's been more than a day since his last talk to Miranda. He needed to craft for a level after all
Xander
Because he said he doesnt see the point of bows for robots? Arnold is just indifferent and blunt not antagonistic. Not saying it cant happen but I dont really see it.
Damian Horbal
Would be great and just add a numer in the end. Would be something like "Hey Arnold! 57" by now 😂
Ender419
I agree and that makes the most sense to have an embassy located there if the Noburu clan allows it to happen.
Ender419
I suspect when Jake does get in contact with Artemis it will be more flirtatious & sexting than primarily about archery. Know Zogarth I can see this happening around Valentine’s Day for Cupid’s arrow chapter between the two.
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Edward Sutton
He can’t sadly. Everything is on lockdown still. He can talk to Villy but can’t visit for instance. Villy had to use his transcendence skill when Jake messed up pallet for instance.

Arieh Sochaczevski
I’m seeing this too, and I also hope we’re wrong!
Arieh Sochaczevski
Eternal shadow can use it as a bow, demonstrating it can be done. His free mana control is capable of making weapons of quality. I like either idea of him crafting a weapon himself traditionally, or of finally making Eternal Hunger comply. It’s also worth pointing out that Eternal Hunger %100 is part of his path. As soon as he created it, it was made clear they’re tied together, and various system messages in the meantime have only strengthened that connection. He’s been offered several curse-related skills and even accepted one. Both his profession and his class have grown to accommodate the relationship.
Arieh Sochaczevski
I know a couple of people like Arnold - focused on their ideas and work to the exclusion of all else. They accept the need to deal with others, especially where it can be mutually beneficial. It’s the day-to-day regular interruptions they resent. Jake interrupting him for a reason is fine, but bugging him for something he should have known better about is probably not. He’s got capital with Arnold for now, but it’s not a good idea to burn that casually.
KenTX325
I think Jake will eventually get super wood for a bow from Natures Attendant. He owes him a gift.
KenTX325
I would think the factions would set up compounds near the super dungeon being built.
Nick Nicholson
Dude should just reach out to Artemis
BlackRazaras
Thanks for the chapter
Ty Cooper
I have a feeling the Risen and Valhal will have a good time running the Holy Church out of the galaxy.
Mat
Jake shouldask Casper on how to fight zealots for his first fight against ‘the truly suicidal ones’
Dan
I hope this isn't the case, but in recent chapters it feels like Zog is intentionally setting Arnold up to look like a potential antagonist later on. Great chapter as always!
Hotep Saxis
I think spending some more time with Maria and fleshing her character out more would be great.
Samuel Nelson
I too agree. A planet named Zogarth would be awesome. @zogarth Or at least "Zogarthy".
Reno
It would be a filler chapter of nothing of consequence happened. But plenty of consequential stuff happened. We saw Arnold outright refuse a request from Jake and learned about how he was affected by recent events, we saw Jake ask him for help with the holy church and he agreed, we saw Carmen accept Jake's request to go to the holy church planet. We learned about Arnold's progress with his skill upgrades. We learned about the new faction hierarchy on earth, and that the court of shadows is tied with Valhal in terms of political privileges. And this is merely what I remember. LOTS of stuff happened. This isn't filler at all. It's seasoning. Without it, the story would be bland.

Timothy Reichert
This isn’t including rituals he could carve into it or the fact he could use his own mana with a bit of origin energy to make a unique material. As stated before during acid experimentation his mana is similar to metal.
Timothy Reichert
It has been stated before something made by you is overall better and as he can technically craft anything now through the sage skill he could customize his bow. Also a side note part of the sage skill is knowledge allows more records making each item he makes better. So a hunter obtaining items, refining items through his alchemy, to then hunt more would match his path and do what Jake is already doing. Alchemy is just there to support his path. Also you miss out on an important detail he could technically grow an arcane tree by making an environment saturated in his mana to mutate a wood like herb… so herb->wood->shaping-> acid to further refine->add some kinda string-> super record bow.
The Uub
Gwynder has already helped Jake get 2 bows. I think that either through Maria, or Gwynders other crafters, Jake is going to have a "go to" God to help with bowery in the future.
Ty Cooper
Well maybe he can help some parts of the process like infusing the wood with his arcane affinity making it withstand his powershot and improve every arrow fired. But in doing said infusion counts as a collaboration craft earning bonuses from both sides.
Hotep Saxis
@psyck0 he’s the leader of Valhals planet in the Milky Way where Jake learned the Valhal alchemy and stuff
Zizawah
I’m one of those people who remembers people rather than place names. So Bobby’s place is descriptive for me. I wouldn’t remember the planet name. Ditto for Kindroth’s planet.
John Durrett
Fighting over the last item? Is Valhal shopping etiquette based on Earths Walmart and Black Friday Deals?? TYFTC!
John Durrett
With 93 Galaxies to choose from for partners and a Millennia of life quests ahead in order to achieve Pinnacle Primordial level? Getting married and having kids would just weigh you down to the point of no longer advancing.
Psyck0
I forgot who is bobby?
John Durrett
I don't understand your concern here. Arnold's passion is for his work and research with Nigh Zero interest in anything else. He and Jake have an agreement of leaving each other alone to do their own thing (Their damn near mirrors of each other in many ways), unless they need something from the other. Jake knows this and accepts that Arnold being curt is part of his nature, not a personal grudge and despite the gruffy old man behavior - Arnold comes thru when Jake needs it - including the reminder to talk to Maria.
Cody
“Same for the Golden Road Emperium [Emporium] – the merchant faction Sultan and most of the other big merchants of Earth now belonged to.” Emperium -> Emporium Tyftc Zogarth!
John Durrett
You sound like a member of Valhal. ;) FightO! FightO! FightO!. hehe
Josh Hietpas
If it was all action, all the time, it would be hard for character development and story progression. You need a plot that goes up and down, not just a continuous increase when your telling a story this long. If you didn’t, the story would get boring cuz it would just turn into “just killed that dude, now im gonna go kill that dude, then that one and that one”. It would be fine for a bit but would become monotonous
Josh Hietpas
Doesn’t really feel like filler to me. We had a climax with the FS, then the resolution with the villy chat, and now its establishing the new status quo and developing the problem before the next rising action, which will be hunting the holy church
Ty Cooper
I am curious what she will make for him this time? Since last one in her eyes f*cked it up. I can see him just asking for it to be super durable. Please make it so no go big boom boom in Jake face.
Vincent Heins
Facts
Hotep Saxis
Small request. Please consider naming the planets @zogarth, at least the ones referenced more than once. Bobby’s planet is no good.
Hotep Saxis
Probably needs 20 more levels before he can try weak B grades. Around 330 he could probably take one.
Hotep Saxis
Pretty sure we’re near the beginning of book 14. Book 12 should be the end of nevermore. Book 13 probably ends soon after Cheetos death.
Gareth Morgan
As I understand it both have just said they have no interest in anything more than that right now. It isn't so much a 'No' as an 'N/A'
Ethan Moore
thanks for the chapter, great read as always
JayseKnyte
Good point on the sage skill.
Timothy Reichert
The sage skill literally allows him to craft anything and as long as he has knowledge will improve records of said item. So if he learns from start to finish how to make a bow he could make a better bow than anyone else as it would suit him more. Not to mention compounding records he obtains a material, refines material, shapes, transmutes it into a bow. The records as it goes through various item stages would add up.
JayseKnyte
Still, I can see Minaga sending a message to say "See all these cool things I'm doing for you, pretty awesome of me huh?"
Phasmatic7
Thankies
Connor
Thanks for the chapter
JayseKnyte
He may not have an affinity for it but Jake has said that curses, specifically Eternal Hunger, has become an element of his path. With Eternal Hunger being his first mythical creation and shadow being his first mythical skill it is definitely part of his path and records. Not to mention the cimera in his soulspace
Meruem92
Nah, and only 2 other including the godess @smoke, maybe meira i hope
JayseKnyte
I know he's tried many times to make Eternal Hungar into a bow. What I mean is linking then by transmuting some of eternal hungers energy or records into the bow that is an item the System made for him.
Meruem92
I do hope so atleast @luis
Meruem92
I know i know, its been said, can still be dissapointed a bit 🤪
SmokeJam
Have you forgotten the other women Jake bangs every now and then on the side? Or the casual goddess in the mix :D
SmokeJam
He tested Eternal Hunger a million times already, it doesn't come with a string etc, it is just not viable. Time to drop the matter for once and be happy the character will get more than just one good weapon. Another point to make: Eternal Hunger has actually nothing to do with his Path of the Hunter, he has no curse affinity. There is no reason to try to make it a weapon of his Path. Back to the actual OC topic: It would not make sense for Jake to make a bow. He has a profession, that is alchemist, not bowyer. Maybe transmuting one like the last time might be a reasonable approach, but he will not be able to build a quality bow himself with how the system works.
Frankie Rose
I love and hate these filler chapters .. but Friday is almost here .. Zogarth got everyone hooked to the teeth
SmokeJam
as far as I remember nobody can enter during the formation process. So literally nobody knows until it is finished.
JayseKnyte
Then linking them and making them part of a set could enhance the arrow making or at least the speed of it.
Xeno morph
But he already makes arrows out of it. So I don't think that is happening
JayseKnyte
Or instead of fusing them, linking them.
JayseKnyte
I wonder if he could try fusing it with eternal hunger to upgrade it with a bow form that works with fang of man.
JayseKnyte
I meant just an update on how it's coming along. Maybe from Miranda's or Reika's pov just to get a bit of Minaga being Minaga
Ghast Renave
Thank you for the chapter!

Good in between chapter
Lynderyn
Assuming Arnold does not see it at Jake’s silly emotions.
Timothy Reichert
I hope Maria convinces him to do it himself. He gets more records doing it himself. A bow he obtained reforged and improved by him would be better than another patch job.
Mitchell Calhoun
That been made pretty clear a couple times
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter! This strikes me as Jake’s worst conversation with Arnold. Even the “get fucked” one-off was at least very brief and only vaguely confusing. He can probably get away with this for a bit, but he shouldn’t do it too casually.

Thanks for the chapter 😀

Does anyone know where exactly we are in terms of books? In the middle of one? At the end? Beginning? I got an itch to read a full book, it’s been a long while. But I don’t want to stop in the middle or something so then I’d only have a half book when the next one comes out if you get what I’m saying.
Rewdan
Thanks Zogarth.
Red45jimster
Is the b grade on the moon about to be used as a resource for a new bow?
Stuart McCabe
TFTC “Our ploy of acting as if we are fully on the side of Yip of Yore lost us a lot of allies..." should be "we were fully" “Who would have thought that thoughtlessly giving the City..." thought and thoughtlessly is awkward so maybe believed instead? "Now they were ready to make a full comeback as it was now clear to all" take out one of the nows "Many of the faction outposts established by the immigrants from other factions..." take out the first faction
