Chapter 911 - Ghostvine
🕑 Added 2024-05-10 11:22:24 +0000 UTCFor a moment, Jake and the Lunewood Hunter made eye contact. Jake knew it could see him through his stealth immediately as he prepared himself mentally for what was to come. However, even after a solid second, the Hunter just kept observing him without making any aggressive moves.
Frowning, Jake tried to step to the side as its gaze followed him. Was it looking for an opening or something? Its actions didn’t make any sense at all. Even when Jake began walking, it just kept looking at him.
When he tried to pick up speed, the Hunter finally moved but still did not attack him. It just followed Jake as he made his way further into the forest, confused as hell. The Hunter even kept the same distance from Jake, its eye never leaving his body for a split second as it ran after him. He had already cut off his conversation with Villy, but now he seriously considered asking if this Hunter was broken.
Something definitely felt off, and Jake released a Pulse of Perception to scan his immediate area and instantly saw that three more Hunters were making their way toward him, all coming from the direction of the Wood Meteorite.
Is it not attacking because it judged it can’t beat me alone and is waiting for backup? Jake questioned as he once again prepared himself for a fight.
Yet when the three Hunters arrived, they proceeded to just join the first one in looking at him. It was honestly eerie as fuck, having four large creatures made of vines and stone constantly just stare at you without doing anything. They even stood entirely still when Jake didn’t move, only adding to the creepiness.
Deciding to just say fuck it, Jake proceeded toward his target. The four Hunters followed along as Jake got closer and closer to the Wood Meteorite and the army that surrounded it. While he wasn’t confident in beating them, he was confident in escaping should things go south, as while the Hunters were the strongest Lunewood creatures he had seen, they were still low-tier.
Soon enough, he reached the Wood Meteorite. Jake entered a large clearing created from the impact crater of the Wood Meteorite, finally laying eyes on the thing. It honestly looked a bit like a spherical spiky pinecone, except it was utterly massive and pulsating with power, as blueish veins covered the entire meteorite.
Through his sphere and with another Pulse, he also saw how extremely long vines extended down from the Wood Meteorite, piercing many kilometers into the moon. These vines spread like the roots of a tree in the immediate area, but they primarily reached downward in a pretty straight line, going directly for the core as far as Jake could see.
Yet he didn’t feel as if the Wood Meteorite was actually siphoning any energy out of the core, making him guess it hadn’t reached it yet. Even if it did, Jake wasn’t sure it would be capable of absorbing anything, as the moon’s core remained a lot more powerful than this meteorite.
Checking with the four Hunters, who had now been joined by five more who had been chilling around the Wood Meteorite, Jake saw the nine of them still didn’t seem interested in attacking. To check further, Jake floated into the air as he made his way toward the meteorite, but even as he approached, they didn’t make any moves.
They clearly knew he didn’t fit there, and yet they didn’t see him as an enemy for some reason. It didn’t make any sense at all. Was it that they didn’t judge him a threat? Or because he hadn’t attacked them or destroyed anything yet? Or were they broken somehow? They hadn’t even alerted all the other Lunewood creatures to his presence, and Jake felt that it was only the Hunters who even knew he was there due to the peculiar nature of Unseen Hunter.
Once more, trying to ignore them, Jake studied the Wood Meteorite more closely as he flew right up to it. He felt it pulsating with energy, sending waves of its corrupted life energy into the world. This energy also tried to affect him, but he had made sure to cover his body in a few layers of stable arcane mana to ensure his own safety.
Reaching out, Jake touched one of the spikes of the meteorite. The moment he did, he felt a pulse of energy enter his body, but more than just energy; it carried some kind of… desire. Jake felt something go for his soul, as he allowed just a little bit in to understand what was going on. He felt as if he heard a faint whisper telling him to accept it.
The spike Jake was touching then broke off, and he knew what it wanted him to do. It wanted him to take it and absorb it into his body, allowing the Lunewood energy to take over his body and become one with the forest like all the other creatures there.
No… more than that.
It wanted him to become the Lunewood Forest. To merge with the meteorite and be its host. Perhaps it instinctively understood its own shortcomings, and it wanted something to help control it and grow. Jake wasn’t sure why, but it seemed to believe he was a good option to make that happen.
Jake was confused, though. Why did it need him? Sandy hadn’t mentioned anything like this. According to the worm, these Moon Meteorites didn’t have any ego or control at all but were more like a natural force only seeking to expand, and-
It was wilting.
He finally remembered. At the edges of the Lunewood Forest, it wasn’t expanding, but the grass was wilting. That’s also when Jake understood why it wanted him. A Wood Meteorite only sought to spread its affinity and grow, but this one was broken, and it needed something. That something being Jake.
Needlessly to say, that wasn’t anything it could have.
Jake let go of the meteorite that had broken off and let it rest on top of another part of the meteorite. Once more, a pulse of energy was released, and Jake felt a rudimentary soul attack that once more tried to compel him.
Shaking his head, Jake turned as he looked at the nine Lunewood Hunters who still stared at him. He still didn’t feel any traces of hostility, even as he walked away from the meteorite. They just kept staring creepily, even as Jake began to explore the rest of the crater, finding many smaller Meteorite Fragments he assumed were from slain Lunewood creatures.
There were a lot of them. Thousands, at least, meaning something had killed them, right? Or was this the fragments it made new creatures from? As Jake was thinking this, he saw something in his sphere. A Stalker was approaching him, walking with steady steps.
Turning, Jake was prepared for it to do something, but all it did was jump on top of the pile of Meteorite Fragments. The second it did, its entire body wilted away in seconds, making another fragment fall atop the pile.
”It’s losing energy,” Jake spoke out loud with a serious look on his face. The forest was already dying by itself for some reason.
One thing was for certain, something very weird was happening on the moon.
Something that was further confirmed after Jake had spent an hour or so inspecting the crater while considering how he would put down a ritual when he received a message from Sandy, passed along by the Viper, saying just one word:
”Run.”
--
Sandy wiggled their way through the many tunnels leading deep into the moon. Using the awesome spatial senses that only a worm as awesome as Sandy could have, they quickly realized the quickest way toward the center of the celestial object. It wasn’t even that complicated, as there was what looked like a deep shaft that led most of the way there, just large enough to fit a growing worm.
Getting further and further down, Sandy made a few stops to gobble up something tasty. There were only a few weak elementals here and there, all way too slow for Sandy. Many of the snacks weren’t even that tasty, but they were different and worth a try. Variety is the spice of life, after all.
Days passed, with Sandy getting closer to the core. It was a bit odd, but in the cases of most planets or even larger celestial objects like the moon, the core wasn’t some large super-dense area of pure molten lava and metal. Instead, it was a vast open space with a relatively small spherical metal ball floating in the middle.
True, sometimes the temperature was really high in the core room or chamber, or whatever one called it, making the room far from a healthy environment. Not that it bothered Sandy much the times the worm had seen other Planetary Cores. None of the weird phenomena that could happen close to a planet’s core ever really bothered Sandy before. However, as Sandy got closer to this core, there was something really annoying.
Because, while Sandy wasn’t an alchemist like Jake, the worm was pretty sure large vines weren’t supposed to grow this deep underground. What’s more, all the vines felt really weird. Like, they had the same aura, but one that felt a bit different than the Lunewood stuff above. It was clearly still related to the Wood Meteor, as they looked the same, but something was definitely different.
It didn’t take Sandy long to get close to the center of the moon, where the worm quickly went straight for the core. It was super easy to feel where it was, as it gave off a powerful response from Sandy’s treasure-sensing skills.
The odd vines also only multiplied in number and looked even weirder the more Sandy saw. Some of them went through solid rock but didn’t penetrate it. No, it was more like they phased through the rock as if they were ethereal.
These vines didn’t move around or do anything, though Sandy was on watch, being careful. There was no doubt in Sandy’s mind that these vines were related to the B-grade, so caution was key. Even if the B-grade hadn’t shown any aggressiveness yet.
Passing through a few more tunnels, Sandy finally entered the large open space that also contained the core. However, rather than see a core, Sandy saw a giant mass of vines where the core was supposed to be, with the actual core likely within.
The space containing the core was many kilometers in diameter, yet Sandy felt that the environment was oppressive. The cause of this wasn’t hard either, and a moment later, the being revealed itself.
Energies gathered to form a ghostly shade of sorts that regarded Sandy as it sent a powerful telepathic message filled with… a lot of things. It wasn’t really words but more a collection of images, emotions, and what Sandy could vaguely interpret as words, with the shade asking just one question:
”Why are you here?”
One Sandy could naturally easily answer.
”I’m here to explore,” the worm responded in a neutral tone, as Sandy tried to be as non-threatening as possible. ”Not going to bother you at all.”
There was no response for several moments. This gave the worm some time to take in the entire core room and detect everything there. It didn’t take long to figure things out.
Sandy was a smart worm. So Sandy quickly realized, as they expanded their senses and felt the traces of what had once been a great natural treasure inside the core room. One provided directly by the system, not unlike the ones Sandy had consumed during their younger days, albeit far, far more potent. With this and everything else, Sandy put together what had happened.
The Lunewood Meteorite had begun to spread all over the planet, and its vine-like roots had drilled into the ground, seeking out the greatest energy source available: the core. It had succeeded most of the way, as it had likely sent some of its creatures down to clear out elementals and stuff in the way.
Then, one day, a Lunewood creature reached the core room and absorbed that special system-provided item, for it to then evolve into what Sandy was currently seeing. Sandy also vaguely felt the concept of death in the air, so it was even likely the creature had died and been brought back to life. Maybe it had been cut off by the Wood Meteorite once it began to change, thus dying? There were many potential explanations, but Sandy was pretty certain they had reached the right one for the most part.
As Sandy had just brilliantly deduced what was going on, the creature spoke again, the message far more coherent and simple this time around:
”Leave.”
”Alright, alright,” Sandy said, remaining calm. ”I didn’t mean to intrude, I was just curious, and I’ll be on my way,”
Yep, definitely no reason to annoy the B-grade creature that Sandy didn’t at all understand. It was some weird undead creature that somehow still gave off eerie life energy. What’s more, Sandy hadn’t even found anything they could Identify yet. It didn’t work on the core or the weird ghostly thing that honestly looked a bit like a large floating carpet.
”Leave,” the message echoed again.
”Going!” Sandy responded as they turned around and began flying toward the exit of the core room.
”Leave… now.”
Sandy got a bad feeling and picked up more speed as-
”LEAVE NOW!”
The telepathic message itself carried so much malice that Sandy temporarily froze up as vines flew out of all the walls, seemingly summoned out of nowhere. Reacting quickly, the worm teleported forward to avoid them as more vines moved to block the worm off, making Sandy curse.
”Did you want me to leave or not!”
There was no answer, as a massive vine was summoned out of a wall, slamming into Sandy’s side, sending the giant worm reeling as they were blasted away. While flying, Sandy did two things… finally managed to land an Identify and sent a message to their Patron to be passed along to Jake.
[Ghostvine Sovereign – lvl ???]
He had to get away… because there was no way they could fight this thing. Sandy felt the blood run down their side as the worm’s thick skin had been sliced open, and powerful energies of death were seeping in.
This isn’t good.
--
Jake reacted instantly, despite not having any sense of danger yet, as he flew into the air. This proved to be a good decision, as only a moment later, he felt it. An aura washed over him as if something had spread out its presence to where he was.
He saw the Wood Meteorite practically shiver as all the Lunewood Hunters, for the first time, diverted their gazes from him as they instead stared at the ground. Jake released a Pulse of Perception, trying to feel for what was coming, but there was nothing but an odd energy permeating this area of the moon, and nothing that should-
Suddenly, a vine shot out of the ground below, aimed straight at Jake. His eyes opened wide, as he barely managed to dodge due to the forewarning from his danger sense. The vine extended many kilometers out from the moon and swung as it tried to whip Jake again.
That’s when the Lunewood creatures made their move. All of them moved at once, attacking the vine with all they had, the hunters throwing stones infused with energy, with the thousands of Stalkers, Keepers, and Vipers also attacking.
The response from whatever the fuck attacked Jake was to release another dozen vines, all seemingly summoned out of nowhere. They just sprung up from the moon despite seemingly not coming from anywhere. It was like they had just been stuck onto the moon’s surface, only attached with a bit of energy.
These new vines didn’t attack Jake, but instead, they attacked some of the Lunewood creatures. Jake saw how the vines whipped a Stalker, leaving a deep gash… that then began to rot, as Jake felt the unquestionable concept of death within the attack.
With a single whip, the stalker wilted away, dying. Jake was alarmed as he’d stopped mid-air. Something that proved to be a bit decision, as that had only led to the continued ire of what he was now certain was the B-grade.
The presence all around him intensified as Jake felt a shiver run down his spine. Below, the Lunewood creatures were getting slaughtered, but they did manage to tear apart many of the vines. But as the atmosphere intensified, they all froze up, and Jake’s eyes opened wide.
A wave of energy washed over him as the moon’s surface erupted with vines, as far as he could see. Thousands… no, tens of thousands of vines shot up from the moon, seemingly not targeting anything or anyone in particular.
Then, right below Jake, floating just above the treetops of the Lunewood Forest, mana gathered as a giant eye dozens of kilometers in diameter formed, staring straight at Jake as it sent a powerful telepathic message slamming into Jake’s head and making him reel backward.
”Begone!”
Jake didn’t hesitate as he used One Step to repeatedly teleport upwards as vines chased after him. Once he got far enough up, they stopped chasing, but Jake still kept going as he wanted as much distance as possible. Many thoughts ran through his mind, but one more than any other:
What was happening with Sandy? He still had a Mark on the worm, and he felt that they were still deep down inside the moon and-
It disappeared… and he instantly knew:
Sandy had died.

EXCUSE ME? I gasped 😦 bro wtf

Thx for the chapter
Ansordia
Jake is going to JUICE the fuck up... though first he might need to make a posion that can actually hurt a B grade (using some Jake juice senanigans) but I foresee that this is just some ELABORATE "playing possum" by Sandy.... but DAMM am I scared.

rip Sandy, an idiot

No fucking way! NO! Sandy better be okay Thank you for the chapter...if sandy lives.

Along with possibly blowing up the moon in the process

When Jake ran into Ell’Hakan at the reception after Nevermore, then talked to Yip right after that.
Martín Ballesteros Arias
And you're expecting me to keep calm after this cliffhanger... ON A FRIDAY!!! Yeah, I think Jake's gonna be the first in the universe to kill a B grade without being a B grade himself
Codewrds
Not sandy. Nooooo. (Not buying it. Good chapter tho!)
Ice_Blaze
Damn!!!
Nathan Sto
Ha! It's funny that you guys think Tom might have died. Tom wouldn't die, lol.
Yeslek Nnamhctits
I legitimately don't know what you mean. I looked back a couple chapters too...
Bradford McDaniel
oh no not sandy
Jeff McCulley
“The hunters throwing stones” Slinging stones.
Jeff McCulley
It’s a book. We’re just getting to read it chapter by chapter. It has cliffs, some fall on a Friday, some don’t. Cliffs every five chapters would be a dumb way to write a book. Zogarth isn’t dumb.
Jeff McCulley
Just a few chapters ago?
Vega
I agree. Main character deaths make it feel as if there are real stakes & permanent consequences
Yeslek Nnamhctits
Also. I now have a real problem... just listened too books 1-8, twice and now I have too wait. Too busy doing math too actually read. Pls send more literature zog. It's an emergency. Questions though... what the hell happened to el'hakan and William. How's his path as a heretic processing, What is yip of yore up too.. I haven't heard from them in a literal book and I need an update.
Yeslek Nnamhctits
How is snappy gonna take this, damn! That moon is in for some shit.
BelligerentGnu
That's just it, there is zero chance of it being offscreen.
Mrburns93
Unless of course sandy had a super secret skill that they entrusted to Jake that looked suspiciously like an egg
Darthnarciss
Specifically due to Godly BS. Jake doesn't mind dieing due to him being overwhelmed becuase he was cocky or becuase he got surprised, but if a God was the reason that means it's due to Villy.
Ian Allen
Aww....Tom....
Loading Error
‘It,’ then.
martin smith
Don't even joke about that, i would go full primal hunter on Zogarth 😆
Austin Barton
Or they did die but the orb he gave Jake is probably like a Phoenix egg or something sandy will be back.
MadMonty
Well that ghost vine is going to have a really bad day now
DirePants
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking as well. I mean if they’re dead the whole mystery rock will just be wasted words on a page. Not to Zog couldn’t figure out something to use it for. But yeah my guess is Sandy has not experienced True death.
Daniel Golding
"Hello, I need help" "This is Snake God Emergency Services - how can we help" "arghhghgh"
Skyler Brown
dam dude we already have plenty of context clues the thing the worm gave jake some sort of egg villy talking to snappy saying along the lines of at least you dont have to worry about ur chosen suddenly dieing with that skill sooo ya not much of a mystery at this point
Daniel Golding
It killed Jake's worm. Now its gonna die.
Daniel Golding
"Just" a worm? Sandy is an amazing worm! Everyone says so
Rui Lourenço
We know Gods can resurrect people. Jake explicitly forbid Villy from doing so unless he got fucked by someone overwhelming.
TheLuckyBunny 1
Sandy is going to be fine He has that egg thing he gave to Jake
Burkes
I said it before he even pulled up here. Moons haunted.
Merchendize
If Sandy got offscreened like that the I'm gonna cry. More likely she used some super-space-wiggle skill that makes her completely disappear
Xien
Wellllll now.. do we get to see how the egg works?
Kyler
Yall are all missing the most important point made in this chapter. “ the moon is fucking haunted!”
Saadou
I beg your pardon??? What ? Nani ? Qué ? Damn i didn't realize i took the patreon at the wrong time like that 😭😭😭
Meyster
Moons haunted 👻
John Kinkead
Oh shit
Chase Burton
Thanks for the chapter!
Thenais
time to take on B grade
Thewalterwhite
I don’t mean the actual mc to die. That would suck. But important characters that are developed and we like and also that jake is attached to in some way. Someone like sandy or Caleb or something. Obviously when something happens to sylphie I am out!
Hunter Thornton
Well Casper didn’t come back “alive” technically. He’s undead. The fallen king prolly can’t do it too often and knowing how he hates being tied to Jake prolly won’t do it again. Eversmile paid quite a hefty price to bring that fuckstain Willam back. Bertram is the only real cheater here unless Jacob dies then it’s time to punch his ticket for the last times, and let’s face it Jacob is prolly one of the most well protected people in the church at the moment so Berty boy ain’t bout to quit cheating. The Blightfather need a way to advertise his race and what better way than to give everybody who died in the tutorial the option of not being dead permanently. Overall I’d say it’s pretty good on keeping people who’re dead dead
Drew
So, while I'm pretty sure Jake will. find some way to bring Sandy back, this B-grade is about to get Jake at his nastiest and most vengeful. RIP B-grade.
Devin
Well the set up for this was put in place a very long time ago, the egg that spawned with Sandy. That was always meant as a “escape” in the case they got into something they couldn’t get out of. I’m most curious about the price paid for using that form of resurrection???
AsuraFalling
Uh not for this one. So far in the story there has been no mention of a “come back from the dead McGuffin for Jake” and if the MC actually DIES for real….. it ends the story? Also it sort of detracts from the “price” of physical conflict. Which I feel would bring down the tone of the story overall. “People die when they are killed” Without that… well. Why bother worrying about dying? Or even being safe at all yanno?
Chase
Rage hunter rage
Thewalterwhite
Am I the only one that thinks it would be a good thing to have main characters die? I don’t like it in some ways, but I feel like with the multiverse being so violent something has to happen to someone. It would spice up the story and give it some seriousness
One Winged Angel
Sandy's an escape worm, no real fighting skills but probably a lot of escape and get outta jail abilities. It makes sense.
One Winged Angel
Hey Jake, Jake my boy....ya know that little control you hold over your Bloodline? Ya I'ma need you to turn that off and go to work now.
Luke Scheffe
Save sandy, then save mossy.
Jeff McCulley
It’s not a matter of Sandy being recoverable or not. It’s a matter of someone having dared to kill Snappy’s Chosen in the first place. Especially in the Order, you don’t just let that pass. Even with Jake. Villy might not resurrect him—but it sure ain’t gonna be pretty forever managed it. He’s not gonna let it slide.
Zizawah
book 8 chapter 47 all hail sandy. Next chapter end of first part has Villy saying “at least you don’t have to worry about Sandy dying”
Justin Fairchild
Sandy is Cool as a FAN! Im glad he isnt gone forever. Jake gonna fuck some Moon Beasts UP!!
Jeff McCulley
“…while considering how he would put down a ritual…” Let’s put this together, shall we? Ritual + Topped Off Jake Juice + Egg. =? Go.
ChRiAn
As long as they are mentioned before as a possibility and with limitations I have fewer problems, especiallyfor sidecharacter.
Gabriel Garcia
It may just be me, but I hate resurrections in books. It makes death feel less of a threat we have already had the fallen king come back, and Caspar, and Bertram, and William. To many resurrections in a story is a bad thing.
Ymere
But not for Sandy. That B Grade just signed it's Death Certificate. Jake will definitely be mad now. Poor Tom and Sandy's pocket stomach squad
Crysus
Got a bout of vertigo reading that last line…
Olof Karlsson
Thanks for the chapter!
AsuraFalling
Ok, I actually had a realization because of the cliff. I’ve come to actually expect the cliff from Zoggy…… I’m not sure how to feel about this realization. Should I be depressed he’s done it so much I’ve come to look at it as a “sad fact of life”? Or happy because I’m becoming immune to the annoyance of the cliff? I don’t know. Going to have to blame Zoggy and his cliffs for this confusing enlightened moment in my life.
Doodlenoodle
Well we know Jake fears his own emotions. If he goes over the edge it will make a great place to create a trancendense skill as this will fuel Jake like nothing else. IF he goes over the deep end. Allways thought that something like this was what will make Jake make a trancendense skill as the blinding need to hunt his target will make Jake and his bloodline work together like never before.
Rusty
It's the name of the skill
austin kutz
Snappy won't care. Sandy already gave Jake his respawn egg
Ty Cooper
But will it be the same sandy or will it be dungeon moster type same.
Sean
Or if it isn't a nuke something craz_ tiny that will do the same thing
Arieh Sochaczevski
TFTC! “[…]due to the peculiar nature of Unseen Hunter.” Do you mean “Lunewood Hunter”? Or is “Unseen Hunter” the name of the new stealth skill? If it’s the skill, this seems unclear to me and my imperfect memory.

Chapter 911. For those of you who don’t know, “911” is the phone number for Emergency Services. I think it’s 999 in the UK? So…Sandy just made a 911 call. About the B Grade.
Jeff McCulley
It’s chapter 911 after all!
Jeff McCulley
Nah. They’re okay…inside Zombie Sandy. Which Jake is about to fight.
Jeff McCulley
This may turn out to be WHY Nevermore topped up his Jake Juice.
Jeff McCulley
What chapter, please?
Jeff McCulley
Hopefully TOM works.
Jeff McCulley
I think we’re about to have Zombie Sandy. Or some transformation where Sandy gets ethereal aspects of the B grade critter? Or maybe Tom turns out to Tom Terrific….
Jeff McCulley
The meteor landed. It started digging towards the Core, sending drones to clear the way. One of the drones ate a Treasure that made it B grade. And killed it. It took over the meteor’s vines in the area. And the meteor has been starving to death since.

Sandy died? This B-grade gotta go

Think it's the "tracking device" that let Sandy's know where Jake was Sandy was a little sketchy in stating it's full purpose, if I remember correctly
Irakli Jishkariani
More like planetary archery 😀😀. You know how he killed c grade elemental while d grade. I guess it's same but on planetary scale 😀😀😀😀. I can't wait how he deals with this
John Grizzly
Jason's got that egg for sandys revival I think. But what about the people he kidnapped in his stomach? and the rooms there xD

Thanks for the reminder Patrick, I was like Sandy die? Really? Really?!

Thanks for the chapter
Cullen Denison
Hopefully the egg works

EDIT. "Something that proved to be a bit decision," This should be BAD decision
Mohammed Sheekh
recap for us mortals please, what egg?
Inevitable demise
This is the perfect cliffhanger where zogarth could add a $15 primal hunter tier on patreon and alot of us would instantly upgrade, just to see what happen to sandy.
Max
I forgot about that. Probably I do remember the viper saying that snappy didn’t have to worry about him dying because of it.
JJB4345_80_815
Yes, thank you for the chappy, Zogarth!
Patrick Laplante
I guess the egg thing is a respawn point for sandy?
Hunter Ferris
I was surprised we didn't get to see Jake use his full bloodline ability at the end of Nevermore. Maybe we will get to see it used here and then he will be saved by Vesperia and an army of Bees. I also agree that the "egg" Jake has is Sandy so we will get to see them again
BB8ALREADY
It’s like that meme where the astronauts come back to Earth and surprise NASA and are grabbing guns and what not and the scientist say, “why are you back so soon?” And the astronauts just reply with “Moons haunted”
Robert Smart
Oh no Sandy!
Abdulaziz ALRumaih
Jake juice is pretty topped up Jake + juice = reality bending = dead b grade? Maybe even a boost of records + title for that Also I’m with the other readers that sandy is probably not truly dead or can or will be resurrected but Jake might not have realized yet
Joseph
Indeed "F"
Joseph
OMG I forgot about Tom
KenTX325
I guess I need to read this chapter again. I’m having a hard time following what is going on. Two mystery biomes that are in conflict. One soulless and the other sort of undead?
Red45jimster
Time to hunt a b grade?
Seen Death
Like Tom said (rip other tom) This B grade was (according to the info available) most likely bound to the moon, aka a big threat that will still be there until people from earth should be able to handle it
Seen Death
Yes but it depends how strong they are. These enemies he could probably only make them pause for a very brief moment, unless he risked serious soul damage backlash
Trevor Mergen
Thanks!
joel southard
Thank you for the chapter.

Without Sandy who’s very specialised, I don’t think very many people could reach the moon.

Resurrection item they gave Jake will activate.
Alex Cox
I actually just got through Sandy being blessed in the audio book, the 'totally just a rock' that Sandy had given Jake is his divine skill as a chosen and is basically a respawn point. Likely with lessened records or a heavy backlash like what SS has after his transcendent
Tom Roettger
Someone call 911!
Ben Heystek
Remember the egg I'm sure part of sandy is in there to be reborn
DirePants
No. You didn’t Zog. You wouldn’t. You would. 😭 Please let Sandy have a weird power to hide or escape but makes them appear dead. If they’re dead that’s going to be a hit to Snappy’s records.
ChRiAn
Noooo, TOM!
Amathew2
I’m sorry but…wtf?!!?
Sean
Pulled a Jake and forgot about the egg
ChRiAn
Sooo, how is Jake getting back to Earth?

Hatch the backup egg.

I'm getting ant queen vibes from this I think he is gonna come back after he becomes b grade

I know everyone is worried about Sandy, but they've got their presumed rebirth Egg in Jake's inventory. You know who doesn't have a rebirth egg? Fucking TOM. RIP to all of Sandy's health specialists
Dan
I'm willing to bet it'll be very similar to a transcendent like the sword saint "losing" levels but not needing quite as much exp to regain those levels.
Matteo Butera
It's the Friday cliff! Noooooooo. Now I'm gonna be losing so much sleep until Monday. You can't do this to us! Tftc btw!

SANDY!!!!!!!

Oh wow. I'm in my feels for Sandy. SMH. Yeah, I know I know, but that was the 'original' Sandy. Who knows if the new one will be just the same. SMH. Jake... Time to whip out your Katar and asborb this bastard.!

Off screen. Always suspicious. But if true not super surprising considering their way of looking for trouble.
Michael
Jake is gonna go ballistic when he's able to kill that B-Grade
Ty Cooper
Damn! Didn't see that coming. Good thing Jake has that egg. Now the question is will Jake go nutz and blow up the moon possibly or will he comes back for a rematch to kill it? I can see Jake going full nuclear. Also is Jake's soul strong enough to shatter a spectral entity. Since they are pretty much a soul without a physical expression?
Austin English
You dun messed up there Mr corrupted b grade.
Glacies29
Noooooooooooooo

Something feels off about that situation - so far the system seems to balance things to a hard but doable degree, but even the Prima was said to still be in C Grade. A B Grade poppig up so close to earth feels like someone or something messed with it. Kinda feels wrong.

"Something that proved to be a bit decision," pretty sure its supposed to be "bad decision "

Whelp, time to break out the weed killer

Not a female, just a worm

Sandy isn't dead, they will hatch into a beautiful space butterfly.

If only Sandy was the chosen of a god who could bring her back to life.

With a single whip, the stalker wilted away, dying. Jake was alarmed as he’d stopped mid-air. Something that proved to be a bit decision, as that had only led to the continued ire of what he was now certain was the B-grade. With a single whip, the stalker wilted away, dying.

So, Moon's definitely haunted. Fantastic chapter! Will be interesting to see if Jake fights this b-grade or we watch him try to escape something much stronger than him. I'm more curious if Sandy's rebirth egg (if that is what it is) resets his progress or if it'll maintain his current level/rank.
Xavier Belmont
I hope you stub your toe every third Wednesday of the month.

Even if Sandy’s coming back via egg, that vine is as good as dead.
wave_emoji
That cliff tho. Now I won't be able to concentrate on the ESC waiting for monday. You evil evil writer.
Xarroworth
Tom is the hidden 13th primordial, tom the tom, he will not die
Neil
This is fine, he has the “bring Sandy back to life thing” doesn’t he?
Michael Fannon
I hope we get a good POV chapter on Miranda Monday.
Gavin
Kill the fucking B grade. Whoever dares hurt our precious worm deserves death. Blow the whole fucking moon up.
Michael Fannon
Sure, Sandy will be fine. But what about the dietitian and poor Tom?
Pip Mitchell
I forgot about Tom - not sure he’ll survive a Sandy egg rebirth ☹️
Numbzy
That would be devious.
Felix Tomiak
Now Imagine Sandy is really dead and the egg was just a trick to deceive us Readers...
Beardo
Riot in 3... 2....
Cory Sauls
TFTC but no freaking way! Oh I have to wait for Monday! Grrrrr. Gonna be so good and awful if for real.😧
Meruem92

Vincent Hill
Not at all how I expected Friday to start. Thanks for the chapter!
Marianna
Sandy!
John McGurn
Now I have to wait all weekend in suspense. I wanna cry. Tftc
Michael Fannon
So the egg now hatches into a mini Sandy right? I'm more concerned about Tom.
Catherine Jones
That's where you're ending it for the weekend?! Just like that? That's cruel.
Matthias
Tftc
Jesper Hansen
the comments does make it seem like a lot of people forgot that :P
Kris Piskorski
Nice try!
Sean
I don't know what insanity is going on with that ghostvine but it just signed its own death warrant by killing Sandy. I wonder what Jake and Arnold are gonna do about it.
Strato Junon
Sandyyyyyyyyyyy !!!! Tyfc
Numbzy

Stephen Heng
