Chapter 972 - Doctor's Orders
🕑 Added 2024-08-09 10:52:42 +0000 UTCJake stumbled back to his lodge in Haven alongside Eron, who decided to go with him as they kept talking. The healer was also doing what he could to speed up Jake’s recovery time, though he could only do so much.
While Jake’s resource pools turning to shit was definitely his biggest immediate problem, that didn’t mean it was the only one he was actively dealing with. Jake felt like he had just overused his boosting skill way above any extremes prior, as he had severely strained himself. Eron informed Jake that having his body repeatedly emptied of energy and then healed again hadn’t exactly been healthy either.
On the way back, Jake had explained some basic things to Eron about what had happened. Mainly because the guy had already figured out most things himself, including even guessing Jake had failed to upgrade a skill using the same kind of unique energy he used to help create Vesperia. Sometimes, Jake forgot the healer could be wicked smart.
There were still a lot of things he naturally didn’t know, and he hadn’t detected the use of Villy’s Transcendence either, something Jake, of course, didn’t share. He did seem to have an almost morbid curiosity examining Jake’s body, though. Which, according to him, was because seeing this kind of soul damage was a rare encounter, especially when it was the soul of someone as powerful for their level as Jake. Eron also told Jake that despite his soul clearly being weakened, it still burned brighter than the vast majority of people his level, so that was a kind of nice compliment.
“So, doc… what’s the prescription?” Jake asked in a joking tone once he was home and resting in a chair on his porch.
“Rest, meditation, and to stay active, at least mentally, to stimulate recovery,” Eron answered in his usual serious tone. “I estimate this extreme weakness you are experiencing should last at most two weeks more, while fully healing your soul will take a lot longer. Naturally, avoid facing anything with soul attacks as you are very susceptible to those, and before fully recovering, I would be careful about overusing your boosting skill and any kind of time dilation has to be avoided no matter what, as it can hamper your natural recovery. If you wish for a more pleasant recovery, using soul-soothing natural treasures or alchemical creations might be an option, but they will not assist in your recovery, and I would advise you against trying to speed it up using any kind of external support. The most complete recovery is the one your body will naturally have.”
Jake nodded and, after a bit of hesitation, asked: “Any insight on the damaged skill in question?”
Eron chuckled in response. “It’s good to see you can remain humorous despite your circumstances.”
… so that was definitely a no.
“Gotta stay positive,” Jake just laughed along before sighing. “I sure did mess up badly this time around.”
“Yes, you did,” Eron agreed. “You’re almost as bad as the morons who rode motorcycles before the arrival of the system. Did you know those death machines were dozens of times more prone to accidents than cars, not to mention the death rate should you get into an accident? Like you, those idiots also tended to significantly overestimate their own abilities, all the way up till they landed on my table.”
“Not sure how good of a comparison that is, and I get the faint feeling you weren’t a fan of motorbikes,” Jake smiled.
“I despise death, and I abhor people who put their lives in danger for no good reason,” Eron scoffed. “At least you have the excuse that should you succeed, you would achieve significant gains in your Path. All a damn biker would earn was slightly better fuel economy, assuming they were driving alone.”
“You know, my dad wanted a bike at one point, but my mom forbid it,” Jake commented.
“A wise woman,” Eron nodded in approval.
“Yeah, she thought the insurance was way too expensive,” Jake smirked, earning a disapproving look from Eron.
“I don’t think you understand the damage not addressing such a dangerous method of transportation caused to-“
For the next twenty minutes, Jake repaid Eron for his help by allowing him to rant about motorcycles, just nodding along during it all. He definitely had a lot of thoughts on the subject, and Jake couldn’t remember a time the guy had talked so much while remaining so normal.
Luckily, Eron was able to stop himself after a while, at which point he seemed to realize he had other things to do.
“Look at the time; I’ll take my leave now,” Eron said, having vented his hatred of motorcycles and their continued legality all the way up the integration. “I wish you luck in your recovery and remember to stay somewhat active even if it hurts. If you need my assistance, simply let me know and I shall see what I can do.”
“Thanks for the offer and all the help so far,” Jake said in a grateful tone. “And I promise to never ride a motorbike for the rest of my life.”
Eron didn’t comment on Jake’s teasing but just waved him off as the healer left the valley and Jake alone. With him gone, Jake sighed and slumped back on the chair while grimacing. “Should have asked for some pain meds…”
Alas, Jake was pretty sure something like that didn’t exist… besides maybe taking something soul-soothing, as Eron had mentioned. That was perhaps worth considering, but for now, he annoyingly did have a few things he needed to do.
He needed to talk to Miranda about everything that went down and get others up to speed with what he learned about this “I” figure. There was also his connection to the Fallen King that felt odd. Jake was confident that the Unique Lifeform had been affected by what Jake did; he just wasn’t sure how. So, talking to him once the King was back was definitely something Jake had to do.
As a final thing, before he reached out to people… when it came to his Palate of the Malefic Viper and the internal stomach, it was just as the Viper had said. Jake couldn’t even look inside it, and it felt like the space was utterly sealed off. The only trace it was even there was the incredibly slight feeling of something being absorbed. The half-a-Planetary Core was still being consumed, albeit so slowly Jake could barely register it, but at least it was something and proof that the skill continued to function for the most part.
The biggest problem was definitely what the Viper had mentioned about upgrading it. In its current state, Jake couldn’t be able to get any upgrades no matter how much insight he got about the skill. It was locked at legendary rarity, which wasn’t the worst, but he would need it fixed at some point, and he doubted even an evolution to B-grade would help anything. Shit, maybe an evolution would even downgrade it.
Perhaps the only thing Jake could hope for was that Villy would find a solution while Jake finished up this damn system event. That… or the meeting he would have when he reached level 300 in his profession, could end up helping in an unforeseen way.
Only time would tell. For now, he had to talk to Miranda.
Getting up from his lawn chair, Jake went into the lodge and used the magic landline phone to contact the local witch. Just infusing the item with mana to make the call felt painful, but he soldiered through long enough. She quickly picked up, worried.
“I heard reports you returned to your lodge with Eron… what happened?”
“I think it’s better you come over in person… using this thing is giving me a headache,” Jake said, really not liking the sensation of using his mana to speak right now. It was like the magical variety of having a really sore throat and being forced to talk loudly.
“Alright, I’ll be over shortly once I finish up here,” she said, Jake shutting off the connection after that as he saw no reason to continue straining himself by keeping it active.
Jake went to relax as he waited for her to arrive, lying down and resting. He felt like shit, and he couldn’t help but admonish himself for the shitty timing of doing this during a system event with a limited duration. Especially not one that also included interacting with other factions, including Ell’Hakan.
It was also just after Arnold and company made the teleporter somewhat functional, allowing them to assist the planets outside the alliance. This should be a prime time to go around killing Prima Guardians and gathering potential allies – or at least assuring other factions wouldn’t side with Ell’Hakan.
But, as Jake was now, that wasn’t a possibility. Even if he recovered somewhat, it was incredibly risky to travel around. Before, Jake didn’t care about being caught in some silly trap, as he was confident in escaping or fighting anyone who tried to mess with him… but now?
Well… alright, Jake still had confidence in escaping, just not the consequences of doing so. He ultimately still had his Jake Juice and could use it on himself to put up a good fight, and he did believe doing so would remove all that currently ailed him… at least for a while. But after, shit was bound to be even worse than they were now. Exactly how bad things would be, Jake didn’t plan on finding out.
In summary, Jake would effectively be useless for a good while. Perhaps he could help out once he’d recovered a bit, but even so, he wasn’t sure if he should. If Ell’Hakan noticed Jake had severe soul damage, he would definitely try and take advantage. No, it was better to hide away and just act uninterested. No one should really know what had happened outside of Eron, the Fallen King, and Miranda.
Even if someone did learn he suffered from soul damage, Jake doubted Ell’Hakan would believe it without any proof. It could just as easily be a ploy to bait in the other Chosen, after all. So, staying back and not providing any definite proof Jake was feeling under the weather felt like the right way to go.
Time passed, and around half an hour later, Miranda arrived at the lodge. Jake saw her coming through his sphere, which he had also felt forced to reduce in size to lessen the mental strain. Pulses were entirely out of the question for now.
Miranda walked into the lodge and saw Jake lying on an old sofa. She looked him over and frowned. “You look like shit.”
“Glad the outside matches my insides, I guess,” Jake said with a wry smile.
“What happened? What exactly did you encounter on that planet?” Miranda asked, worried.
“Well… it isn’t as much what I encountered on the planet but what I tried to do there…” Jake said as he gave a brief explanation of what had gone down, of course leaving out some of the details he probably shouldn’t share. He did share just enough for her to get the gist of everything as she sighed.
“This was bound to happen at some point, you know that, right?” she said in a slightly scolding tone.
“Someone else pretty smart told me the same thing,” Jake could only agree.
“So how do you wanna deal with this situation?” Miranda asked in a serious tone. “People will notice your absence. Especially Ell’Hakan’s goons, who seem to have been tracking you and where you went. We can, of course, do nothing, but that may only lead to speculation… and it isn’t like the actual truth will do us any good.”
“I’m more worried about how this will impact the system event,” Jake shook his head. “We were competing pretty well with Ell’Hakan and the expansion of his alliance…”
“That will be difficult now, yes, but it’s more important to get you back in good condition. Did Eron have any suggestions for a quicker recovery? Does Haven have any resources capable of helping? Maybe you can ask Sandy if they have some treasure stored?”
“Eron suggested bedrest,” Jake answered, not hiding that he wasn’t happy about it. “At least for the first couple of weeks. After that, I can do some things, but I’m still limited.”
“I see,” Miranda said in a solemn tone. “You are definitely to stay on Earth. I will have a meeting with everyone else relevant and figure out how we’ll deal with this. Once Sylphie, Vesperia, and the Fallen King return, perhaps we should also have one of them stay with you for safety.”
Jake wanted to protest as he found the notion of having a protector insulting… but did he really have the right to complain when all this shit was his fault?
In the end, he just stayed quiet, resigning himself to let Miranda do what she thought was best.
The two of them spoke for a bit longer before she left Jake to rest. He also told her to please not let anyone else visit that day, as honestly, Jake really just wanted to have a good nap. Whenever he was young, he could sleep off most minor sicknesses, and while this certainly was a lot more major… sleep would at least make all the pain go away for a while.
It took barely any time before Jake entered dreamland, naturally having moved to sleep in his good old bed from all the way back in the Tutorial Challenge Dungeon.
--
“Are you certain you are alright now?” the True Royal asked the Unique Lifeform as the Fallen King was still sitting on a tree stump within the forest he had crashed into when he suddenly stopped flying.
“It has passed, yes,” the King answered as he felt his own body. Golden cracks had appeared on the mask but were healing rather quickly. Far quicker than if the Fallen King had been the one to cause the damage to his own soul. It wasn’t hard for him to realize what had happened, either.
Jake’s soul had been in an incident that caused it to take tremendous damage on a fundamental level, reaching deep enough to even hurt the Fallen King due to their connection. The Unique Lifeform couldn’t forget: If Jake died, the Fallen King would also die… and this instance had been very close.
Far too close for comfort.
“What caused this?” Vesperia kept questioning, Sylphie also looking worried.
For a moment, the Fallen King considered if sharing the truth would be wise, and ultimately decided hiding it would do him no good. It was far more likely they would discover the truth later and connect the dots, thus affecting their perception of the Fallen King negatively.
“Your Sire was involved in something,” the King said, making sure to communicate only to her and the bird. “I do not know more than that he has suffered some form of severe soul damage. The semi-permanent kind, at the very least.”
Instantly, the mood changed. Vesperia got a severe look on her face as she turned to the hapless World Leader they had been escorting to the Prima Vessel. “We need to get back as quickly as possible.”
“I shall fly as fast as I ca-“
“Not fast enough,” Vesperia said in a cold tone.
“Ree?” Sylphie let out a small screech, looking at the Fallen King with big eyes.
“I do not know, little one. We will not learn the exact situation before we return,” the Fallen King answered. “I will need a moment, so-“
“I understand,” Vesperia nodded, turning to Sylphie. “Speed above all else.”
“Ree!” Sylphie agreed, and before the World Leader could even respond, he was launched into the air and sent flying far faster than his travel speed.
“Will you…?”
“Yes, I shall return on my own,” the Fallen King gave her the go-ahead as the True Royal didn’t wait to follow after Sylphie, leaving the Fallen King behind.
After about a minute, the Fallen King lifted his hand and ran his claw along the fractures in the mask. This connection with the hunter had yet to truly pose an issue so far, but … this incident was a reminder…
I cannot be content. This is untenable and utterly unacceptable. No more hesitation or needless delays. I shall reclaim my own dominion fully… and be fallen no longer.

“You know, my dad wanted a bike at one point, but my mom forbid it,” Jake commented. Should be forbade it.
Joshua Little
Thanks for the chapter.
Ray Light
He will be fine in time, this is just a temporary setback after all. Though it will take quite a while for him to be truly back to full strength
Remzi
Im really worried about Jake and what he suffered trying to asorb the core, I really liked how he was developing. please tell me he's ok and is not handycapped due to this? I mean i sure everyone needs to get their hand slapped for doing stupid stuff. but Jake has always found a way to come out stronger and better after doing something stupid. im worried. now i will have to worry all week waiting each day for the nxt chapter.
Rachel Clements
TYFTC!
Pickled Rick
With Jake laid up like this it reminds me how excited I am for him to meet the First Sage. I only hope that using 5 charges gives him enough time with the sage for a qualitative improvement to Jake
Troy Telford
Ooo! The Fallen king trying to become "fallen no longer" - such a fun way to end the chapter!
Kconraw
Thx for the chapter
Olof Karlsson
Thanks for the chapter!
Naotsugu97
After reading this chapter I have an overwhelming urge to ride a wheelie on my Honda 1100 while splitting lanes!
DirePants
Most doctors hate bikes. Like a soldier hates war.
DirePants
Not saying it’s likely- there’s been no indication of it. I’m just the type of reader who’s always trying to figure out the surprise before the surprise actually happens 😂. Don’t watch movies with me. Im good figuring out the end. Figured out interstellar in the first 5 mins 😂😂😂
Shadowessence
Where is a bottle of soup renewal when you need one huh lol
William Rossi
He probably can and would if asked, but back when Jake did the thing with the soul renewal on the mask, the fallen king said something like it’s his duty to find a way to separate them. I would assume Jake is just waiting for him to come with a solution and then be up for whatever
MahoganyWood
Jake also taught him a harsh lesson to never underestimate people who could be “weaker” very similarly to Villy thoughts on humans until he lost horribly to valdemar
Ty Cooper
Part of the Fallen King's deal to get the soul renewal was that he would be on Jake's side with a king honor. He won't do anything to Jake. He realizes that the only reason he is alive now is due to Jake.
MahoganyWood
Think it was more of a wake up call that he’s become complacent because so far being connected to Jake has only brought him benefits
SilverSentry
He was protective of Sylphie after Nevermore from what I can remember. I don't think he'd be dumn enough to turn on Jake. Even after the nerf I don't think he stands a chance.
OutKast MerkeR
My biggest question on this connection between Jake and the Fallen King is....couldn't Jake just Jake juice his mask to give the Fallen King his "Origin" records restoring him to former glory? Or incorporate it into a ritual of some sort?
Demonshadow639
Really looking forward to what happens with the soon to be no longer fallen king. I hope he isn’t an idiot and understands that being separated from Jake’s soul doesn’t mean he can’t still be killed by Jake lol
Tim
Yip and Villy about rumble?
John Looney
Remember what king said this chapter he wants a good relationship with the powerful people of earth so I doubt it that and making enemies of vesp and slyf sounds like an absolute nightmare lmao
Jack
Thanks man and I unfortunately did make it to work on time haha
Peter Smith
It will be after. EH will use this to try to prove himself greater without learning about Jake's weakness, only to find out after that this was with jake at less than half power. If EH barely pulls a win, it will prove that EH is only equal to maybe half a jake, however if Jake wins, it will prove without a doubt that jake is superior to EH without Divine assistance.
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!
DirePants
Id been waiting on Fallen King to turn on Jake- after Eron mention he couldn’t take any more soul damage I thought it was some foreshadowing of King coming for him. I always thought King would attack Jake and Jake would somehow absorb him through that connection. Still a possible result even if the path is different. It could be the way Jake heals faster as well.
Jake Atwood
This would be a good time to do alchemy cause I doubt he loses the lead quickly cause EH had a weaker prima and a LOT more people to split the reward with opposed to Jake’s and I think the level 300 meeting is coming soon I wonder if it will be before or after the final showdown though I think it will be right before or during the showdown
Jake Atwood
Feel like it wouldn’t work cause the “original” king is dead the whole mask thing was a gamble that Jake had to let happen for it to work I think Jake is more or less the origin now
dqmj7vmn6t
But, “whenever” you replied, you notice you said “when he was young” still instead of whenever? Haha. It’d still be “whenever I go back in time to *when* I was young…” still a singular spacetime to visit across the whole metaverse ;) (And, I think you meant “*you’re* just” and “*it’s* correct”. Haha, but I don’t want to be that guy. You don’t ask for edits, Z does.)
John Durrett
It depends on how much time passes before the meet. Why respond as if they are going to meet tomorrow?? Jake already has upgraded Scales that can absorb desolation because they are made of desolation. While "I" can take down a planet, we have no clear idea how long the actual process is and how deadly it is in a one on one match. Jake can absorb and is even boosted by it thru the scales of the MV
John Durrett
Vispy will guard her Sir and Gods pray for anyone who dares threaten his health. She could call down the hives on anyone who so attacked him.
John Durrett
Ahhh...but if Jake travels into his own past in the future and sleeps when he is young to get over an injury or sickness - and does this countless times over millennia as an Immortal, then a God - its correct. Your just not thinking as far ahead as the Author. lol
John Durrett
Quite possible Jake will use Malefic Viper Scales as a Mask.
John Durrett
I had really hoped Jake would have developed more advanced pallet stomach like Sandie has.
John Durrett
Depends on who's riding, mental state, skills etc. I commuted on a Yamaha FJ1200 Sport Touring bike for a year from San Diego, CA to Irvine, CA. 90 mile ride from home to work center. California traffic on Highways and never had a problem. But i'll say anyone who's a shit driver on a motorcycle is probably the same in a car - unsafe.
John Durrett
mmm. The King spoke directly with Syphy and Vespy so no one else could hear...that world leader only knows something happened and the party broke off to investigate as a priority.
John Durrett
I love mortocycles but I do like the nik "donor cycles". Maybe people who read their phones and text while driving can be called "Plan B". lol
John Durrett
Thats a walk in the park when your normally up until 2am. :)
John Durrett
No good reason? I disagree. You have a creature that has destroyed 2, or 3 now worlds and the speed at which they are being destroyed is increasing. People have their own thoughts about the theory of Desolation - but Jake was able to encounter it personally and withstand its affects using the scales of villy. His pallet space has taken in deadly affects before, and he's accomplished unthinkable achievements when his life was on the line. Yes it was risky but statistically Jake has always been able to power thru using his bloodline. He needs that info to prepare and defend or defeat "I" before its able to reach Earth or any other planet they are in good terms with. Humanity doesn't advance without taking such risks either.
Hayden Leech
Oh!
John Durrett
Third Breakfast??
John Durrett
I understand being a bit miffed at Jake, but he knows the original sin is his (Pride) and that finding what he needs to return to his original self needs to be Priority One was just refreshed.
John Durrett
Unless it was your day off, I hope you made it to classes or work on time!
John Durrett
Since l enjoy motorcycles, I'm already ahead and two valley's down. ;)
Tucker Glick
I wonder if a certain sage would have suggestions for bloodline plus skills
kingofshibainu
Alright Jake. Do some alchemy. Get that 290 skill and eventually find some bullshit way to turn this set back into an absurd new power (like a transcendence hack like Villy). That's the fun of progression fantasies!
kingofshibainu
Going to guess the king will "cut off" that part of his soul so Jake keeps the mask
Matthew Lemon
If my soul was connected to an impulsive battle maniac whos constantly almost dying, id wanna break the connection ASAP. Cant say i blame FK for being pissed 😂😂
Rezkin
I don't think so, him going to the other world and the desolation that eron got to experience helped. Though the experiment won't help with dealing with I
Liam
damn good chapter 👌
Zogarth
Edited it a bit to make it more clear. Forgot to make the speech cursive. Remember the FK always speaks telepathically.
Shukketsu
Paste does not make a good donor organ
Dirk Gent Lee
I also wanna see if the King can help heal the soul damage and/or will take advantage of it to separate from Jake somehow, but not maliciously
Dirk Gent Lee
How much y’all wanna bet that Jake’s ill-advised experiment with desolation ends up being integral to understanding or defeating “I”
Ryan Linus
I feel like that must have been a writing mixup rather than actual lapse — Zog, please tell us that it was communicated telepathically or something right?
Chase Burton
Thanks for the chapter
JrEspresso
because medical work is about preserving life, any death is a loss
Arieh Sochaczevski
Yeah. That struck me as particularly ill-handled.
Arieh Sochaczevski
Why would any medical person object to donor-mobiles? They’re where all the best organ donations come from!
Arieh Sochaczevski
Thanks for the chapter!
Tommy
It’s a pretty standard stance for a medical person. And we have already seen Eron say similar stuff about motorcycles in the past iirc so it’s in line with him I get it, I quite like motorbikes. But they are dangerous no two ways about it
Stuart Thwaites
Damn it fallen king. You just told some random world leader that Jake got boned in the soul. This is almost definitely getting back to El'hakan.
carter starnes
I feel targeted when that motorcycle comment came up ☹️
Black Salmon
World leader of the planet they subjugating primas on
Thenais
What could possibly go wrong with letting the fallen king guard jake alone ?
dqmj7vmn6t
True: ER doc I know calls them “donor cycles” because all they’re good for is being organ donors.
Cory Sauls
You are 100% correct. Wasn’t thinking about FK only speaking through telepathy. Perhaps Jake’s diagnosis will remain hidden for a bit.
dqmj7vmn6t
“Whenever he was young, he could sleep” -> “When he was young, he could sleep”. (Temporal scope: "Whenever" implies multiple instances over time, which does not fit with the singular, continuous period of being young. Specificity vs. Repetition: The phrase "I was young" refers to a specific period in the past, not a repeated or habitual event. Therefore, "when" is the appropriate word to use instead.)
Beezy
doubt they spoke out loud, FK has telepathy remember and he’s not stupid enough to outright say it in front of randoms
Andromeda Adams
They are kind of friends now. They at least respect each other. So maybe King makes him a mask. 🤷🏻♀️
Martín Ballesteros Arias
Yep, same here, lately I'm also kind of hating on those cycling guys that go out only in summer and barely know how to keep themselves safe...
Dan Pangione
That confued me too, for a minute. They were on another world escorting a world leader to the prima vessel when the fallen king crashed to the ground. Poor dude just got yeeted back to his base so they could go help jake.
Martín Ballesteros Arias
That's something... I mean the king wouldn't go back to being a king of the forest either, cause that's not his origin, he was a king first and foremost
kandiana
Oh, that one could help, yeah
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!
Martín Ballesteros Arias
They were with the world's leader, and they moved him, fallen king was left behind
John
The world leader of the planet the 3 of them are helping right now.... in the previous chapter where the Fallen King falls out of the sky, the world leader was taking them to the Prima vessel on his planet
Kurt Charlton
I believe it’s the world leader they are escorting
Jose Reyna
TFTC
Seen Death
Rip jakes mask, i doubt hell be able to keep it if FK splits from him, im pretty sure that is the FK's true vessel I wonder what jakes gonna wear after that
AfroMocha
Well they did only say sire not Jake and not everyone knows who Vespa Sarah is
Michael Jewell
Yeah he used the water he had in barrels but after his lab was built he put the stone in a sectioned off pool and created more. We even had an update on the stuff before the event started.
William WIlson
I'm pretty sure the water would be considered a natural treasure that could help sooth his soul. I also wouldn't be surprised if Rick had something else in the groove
William WIlson
No Jake used the water during the creation of Eternal Hunger.
Hayden Leech
“Ree!” Sylphie agreed, and before the World Leader could even respond,” World leader? The fallen king is no world leader. Neither are Sylphie or vespy
D
Good time to organize storsge
William WIlson
The Fallen King respects Jake and while he maybe able to beat the hunter currently he normally couldn't.
William WIlson
This arc is one of the best in my opinion. Both the king and Jake had become complacency and this was a wake up call. It also served as a proof of concept. Jake can fully upgrade any skill he wants using his Jake Juice, it's just probably better to wait until s grade or higher.
Michael Jewell
Ah I am not talking about the system item that was just water backed by a system description to heal a soul. I was referring to the water being created in his underground lab with the serene soul stone(? I think thats the name?) from the fallen vampire world.
Numbzy
Yep. My grandmother was an ER for like 30 years. Hates motorcycles and cars with sun roofs.
kandiana
Hadn't Jake used the water on FK?
John Looney
I wonder what would happen if Jake used Jake juice on the mask bringing it back to it origin of the king and freeing him that way
John Looney
Imagine Sandy coming by and offering him some food that would be so wholesome
Farmingaround
Well.. its not wrong Transforms your body into mush
Seiryus
Poking and seeing what happens is completely in-character for Jake, though. And with his Perception and instincts? It totally makes sense he's like that. This is a reminder that he should be smarter about it.
khielira
Don't forget about the berry bush he got from the tutorial. But again Jake might not remember it offhand but if Jake stays home for any really length of time might stumble on it since it planted around the lodge. Which might cause him to remember the water.
Kt-x
Thanks for the chapter!
Boomer
Pretty sure he's completely forgotten all about that along with 99% of the things in his necklace not poison or bow
joel southard
Nice thank you for the chapter
Conclave
Jake was all about fucking around, understanding he did shit and manage his way out. He Always have been doing that, from the moment he picked on Alchemy to this day. He just learns a valuable lesson: it wont turn good everytime. Now he can focus and think ahead better... Or I Hope he will
Jennifer Leigh
The beginning of Eron's rant: "such a dangerous form of transformation" -> transportation.
Rick Delallata
I don't think he intentionally will. He mentioned something about keeping in Jake and his little misfit family's good graces. Besides, Jake is interested in King being free too
Andromeda Adams
I just hope King doesn’t cause Jake any problems.
Cory Sauls
So another world leader now knows about Jake’s injury which can ultimately lead to EH finding out, the fallen king has a new vigor to break his soul bond with Jake now, and Jake now has 2 very concerned females in his life rushing to get to him. I wonder if Vesperia will station a lot of her queens guard around his place.
Andromeda Adams
I hope The Fallen King doesn’t cause Jake any trouble. Maybe Jake heals faster than expected. Tyftc
BlackRazaras
Thanks for the chapter
Paulo Furlaneto

Zizawah
He’s just espousing values Elon would have as a physician. Talk to ER doctors and I’m sure they kind of feel the same as Eron. :)
Walter Kimberly
EDIT: ? dangerous method of transformation caused to-“ I don’t know if that is what it was supposed to say and I don’t get it or say transportation because of motorcycles
Vega
Thanks for the chapter
Luis
Some random worldleader knows that jake is injured. Hope he won't leak the Information.
DBOMB YO
What’s with the sudden hate for bikers bro ☹️🥺
Hezekiah Laguatan
Nothing like waiting until 1am for a chapter of primal hunter
Michael Jewell
Lol Jake has so much stuff in his spaital storage that he forgets about, so I could see him not remembering about it.
Liam Reinert
Honestly, this mini-arc here is kinda painful. I can kinda see why it could happen, but there really is no good reason to juice up a skill like he did. It either gets reverted to a useless form or upgraded well beyond what he can handle. Both are extremely bad, and he just yeeted himself into it just because he wanted to poke it and see what happened.
Rick Delallata
I can't wait to see King get his freedom back
Jordan Rogers
Real question is does he even remember he has it?
Matthias
Tftc

Phew after so many heavy hitting chapters in a row this is a nice end to the week. It sounds like the Serene soul water won't be able to speed any healing up but maybe help with pain. Thank you for the chapter Zog, and have a great weekend! Edit: found the last entries on the item and water I was talking about, chapter 914. [Dewstone of Serenity (Legendary)] – A small stone created by the combined effort of a group of water nymphs to help heal a close friend. This stone was eventually acquired by a powerful vampire and brought to Yalsten, where it has been ever since. Will passively transform surrounding water by infusing the power of serenity into it. Effect lessens, and the transformation process becomes slower the larger the pool of water. Has many alchemical uses [Concentrated Serene Water (Epic)] – This water calms the mind of anyone who consumes it, allowing them to more easily focus while suppressing the effects of most mental afflictions. Will restore a bit of mana, health points, and stamina upon consumption. Continued consumption will help heal some soul injuries. Has many alchemical uses
