Great chapter

Rhysal

I agree, Jake has already shown the capability to do things even Villy has never seen. Now imagine what he will be capable of when he becomes a god himself.

OldCase

Man I loved this chapter. Thank you.

SmokeJam

While your take is quite reasonable, I have to admit that I'm actually missing the whole wider circle of people around Jake. After his introduction into the order it was quite common to have side stories or different views from other characters, like in the last 2 chapters again. While Nevermore is fun, it feels very focused on Jake alone, maybe that's one of the reasons people look forward to the end of this arc.

Mownmbasa

I didn't get the chance to read the stupid entitled consumer comment that got deleted but i have a feeling i got the jest of it. He/she is probably the reason 90% of writers cut their stories short or go on permanent hiatus. This is definitely something i don't want Zogarth to do! When i get asked what my favorite t.v. show, movie, song, band etc. is, it changes from decade to decade or from mood to mood. This story however Is definitely my favorite story on RR or any similar site and from recent memory as far as i can remember. It has everything i want: OPM levels of OP, plethora of side characters and meaningful pov's to increase enjoyment and prevent MC fatigue. It has LitRPg element which gives a proper sense of growth, a quantifiable growth arc. It has "oh shit" moments in spades and it manages to make a goddamn villain force me to root for him *wink* Villy*wink*. So no Zogarth you don't need to rush, take your time relax enough so that you escape the ever present dreaded "hiatus" virus. Take plenty vitamin D and suntan so that i can see the conclusion of this story or a satisfying one as it was so far. Even if that conclusion comes in 2040. I am ok with that, it means i've read 17 years of pure gold from now till then!!! P.S. The only writer who managed to make me buy his book in post internet era and also made me read this novel about 7 times...

Chris

Fundamentally the function of Nevermore is important, and I believe that’s what you’re talking about, which we are in agreement on. My personal concerns with this story arc is I have frankly felt it’s been filled with an unnecessary amount of “filler” and not enough “substance”. Significantly more than any other books in the series thus far. This isn’t to say I don’t support the author, on the contrary, I have purchased the books, the audible recordings, and vote for the authors success with my Patreon dollars. That said, much of the story of Nevermore, IMO, could have been delivered successfully in a much more condensed format while unpacking more of the substance and excitement of the story in tandem. What’s going on in the broader world, the experiences of the various characters, the excitement of Jake’s influence on/in the broader world and his unique experiences, is what maintains my interest. Nevermore has had some exciting jaunts into this territory, like this chapter, but less than it could or should, again IMO. I too am excited to see where this goes for as many years as it continues to be interesting. But the story can’t loose its compelling argument in the process to maintain interest.

Omar Jimenez

It’s not that I hate the arc, it’s that I’m also invested in seeing how the universe around Jake is getting along. My hot take is that I love the Miranda and Meira chapters over some of the boss fight chapters.

Florian

i do hope so

edgardo rossi

Today there is a chapter right?

Michael Fannon

F5 time? F5 time.

I also enjoy the Nevermore Arc. The world building has been awesome. The only thing I don't like and I think is most people's real gripe is the lack of a feeling of importance/ stakes. Its just been Jake and his friends playing a game trying to get a high score for bragging rights. I don't think anyone feels like Yip of Yore stands a chance of hurting Villy. Villy doesn't seem like he'd even loose out if Jake doesn't get the top score.

Taj Malloy

I thought he had a son?

JJB4345_80_815

Quality is worth waiting for. He earns whatever he makes by creating content that we eagerly consume. His success is earned by his talent and the story that he creates. My personal choice is that I will pay for the quality that he consistently produces. If you believe otherwise, that is your choice to no longer pay for a service that you find lacking.

Daniel Hamilton

I agree, I’m thinking more of the achievements when it comes to multipliers and the leaderboards. Definitely think he’s gonna break the labyrinth and criticize it

Nick Stanley

There's no reason for anyone to work 24/7, 365. Promise you everything he does already takes a helluva lotta time. Dudes allowed to have time for life lmao. Grow up and happily wait like the rest of us.

Valhazstromoz

Bro, he stated multiple times that there is no set schedule. He gave fair warning ahead of time. Plus he's allowed to take time off if he wants. How about your spoiled ass unsubscribes we don't need that entitled bs in our community

jazz

JJB4345_80_815

Another possibility besides Eversmile faking his reaction to the Aura battle is that in order to hide effectively from other Primordials he has to power down his Avatar. I would assume that other Primordials would take a notice if some random god had a Primordial level power radiating from it. While Eversmile himself wasn't affected, his hidey avatar was affected.

JJB4345_80_815

If Jake broke EVERY single Challenge dungeon, then that would diminish the achievement. While we as readers are rooting for Jake to be the best at everything, if he was perfect then he wouldn't be human/relatable. It's like how a pinch of salt enhances the taste of dessert. It gives better context. Now, that being said, I fully expect Jake to break Minaga's labyrinth and get a 25% bonus. I also believe that he's going to get a 20% achievement in one of the other challenge dungeons. The question is if he'll kinda sweep the rest of the dungeons. Knowing that Artemis is watching and Villy pointed that out, I think that we as readers are going to get one heck of a sugar rush from the rest of this ark. 😉

JJB4345_80_815

This is what makes Zogarth such a great writer. We are meant to hate Eversmile while at the same time loving Villy even though both have the blood of innocents on their hands. In fact, during Nevermore there was an entire floor devoted to a Karmic curse disease that turned everyone into slaves which we find out Eversmile and Villy worked together on. The difference between the two is Villy has changed and grown. He can be redeemed. Eversmile is never going to change who and what (evil scientist) he is. He can't without destroying his own Path. It's even in his name! He can't stop smiling. He can't stray off the rigid Path he traverses, which means his personality will ever be fixed and therefore he is unredeemable. Zogarth amazes me in how approaches this.

Seen Death

Same haha. Im not in any rush to run out of content

Quaternion

Here’s my hot take on things: I like the Nevermore arc. I know people feel like things are slowing down, or the pacing isn’t right. Right now, characters are broadening their skill sets over increasing in levels and pushing forwards really quickly. When you think about it C-Grade is pushing higher, but there is still a long way to go. We’re following the full path of a human to (presumably) become a God. I’m along for the ride as long as the path takes

Curtis Cairns

jakes origin manipulation, Erons pursuing endless life, and some other being jakes brings into existence that has crazy control and knowledge on souls in their hereditary knowledge, PLUS all the ground work the viper has made(hasnt been sitting on his thumbs for 50 eras) i could easily see them being revived later

Myridex

86 eras. It is heavily implied that Villy went on a rampage in the 7th era followed by his seclusion at the end of it because of what happened to his wife and son.

Seen Death

Summary: i have no clue lol Long answer: it would be great for villy to get his loved ones back, but our knowledge on the whole scenerio is very limited. The viper was trying to figure out a way to ressurect them for like 50 eras? Which makes me think he does have their remains or something. We know they have monoliths dedicated to them but it was never specified if their bodies were ever recovered. Whoever killed them were successful enough to prevent every type of ressurection villy could think of, which makes me believe at the very least their souls were obliterated. If that is the case i think that would be outside of jake's ability to change.

Chloe

It will take a miracle

Chloe

Yes this please.

Chloe

She is being tutored. Meira will grow in her own way. But yes... dating a Godess is gonna be amazing.

Tyler S.

They were there to throw conflict into Jakes secrets of both chosen and bloodline. That conflict was redirected out to the entire multiverse during his outing, they become a smaller background force hoping to get recognized in a better light

CaptainFlowers

I disagree with that, honestly don't think it's been wrapped up as Zog mentioned how they were scrambling to gift the Chosen of the Viper. I think it'll come back into play after Nevermore

Michael Fannon

I hope the next chapter is Jake getting a ton of profession levels all at once. And all the gods watching becoming confused as hell as Jake suddenly powers up.

austin kutz

Eversmile is definitely shady af. Dude exudes bad intentions

austin kutz

He already didn't do so great in the last challenge dungeon. He didn't do poorly, but he wasn't even close to getting the best score

Zizawah

It’s that he’s conducting experiments. There was a chapter about how many lives he’s ruined just so he could test out a social /genetics theory. Villy is a calamity akin to a natural disaster but Eversmile is that deliberate evil scientist. Logically Villy likely has killed more but emotionally I feel like Eversmile was slimier and thus more distasteful?

Daniel Hamilton

I’m thinking at some point is ability to transfer matter into energy will be used for Villys wife/daughter whoever he has an stasis to wake her up once he can master bloodline

RiCarlo Woods

It wasn't dropped it was wrapped up. They served their purpose in the story. I believe it was wrapped up with something like "they backed off and acted from the periphery instead of directly."

Ansordia

I think it would be waves like at Cape town... Just a lot more intense and having wills of their own. Also one side would have a sizzling sound (Valdemars trancsendance burning reality itself) and a heart thump on the other or heart beats in synchrony... Visually a faint golden and blood purple hue that clashes over them.. And a LOT more hue around poor Artemis who Jake protected. I think we should have gotten some hint in the dialogue of that actually happening from either of them not just after as a after thought. Was still cool as hell

Ansordia

Owww right TOTALLY frogot about them only now remembered when I was listening to the latest audiobook.

Ansordia

It is rough but we will WEATHER through this!

Ansordia

Why though? Eversmile is playing a part and he is a bit crazy but no more than Villy... Dude he killed TRILLIONS of people for nothing more than fuel for his path... Yea Eversmile made a spell to delete someone from existence... But still I think he only used it for the killer who killed the person The Viper was mourning.

Daniel Hamilton

Really hoping Jake brakes all the records of nevermore

Daniel Hamilton

Filled with curses and gods domains just become the new challenge dungeons for him

Daniel Hamilton

Feel like Jake is going to take a personal interest with what Minaga said at the end and break the challenge while criticizing the god.

Daniel Hamilton

Oh, that would be absolutely hilarious

BerciTheBeast

preach haha

BerciTheBeast

Honestly I'm a little surprised this didn't gain him any levels in his Heretic-Chosen profession. Either way this whole meeting mist have been great for Jake's records, even if he didn't need it. Might influence a future skill selection tho.

William Wilson

I really hope jake gets to kill eversmile before this story is all said and done.

Darnell Maxwell

Aw you poor innocent soul. No I meant Valdemar. The man had one goal in life. Swing his axe really hard and share the story of whatever he killed over a pint. The man that manages to almost have as much screen time as Villy. And if you see otherwise then you can face THE FANG OF MAN!!!! Yeah Valdemar's awesome.

austin kutz

By best primordial, you mean Aeon Clock, right?

austin kutz

She'll have to join the conversion circle of ladies at the order

austin kutz

I don't think that banging the image of the God counts for nearly as much as impressing a room full of real gods.

Timothy Scott

Actually i think it would be a funny end to this scene if on the way out Jake goes “fuck it, i already messed up, lets go all in”, then turns and casually goes “hey umbra,” who was actually hiding there the whole time

Seen Death

I think his bloodline is complete right now, but effectively gets more unsealed every time he ranks up

Seen Death

I cant imagine a mythical grade item being able to withstand valdy's full wrath- the stats might be normalized but his comprehension of aspects/trancendence would obliterate it. Jake alreay won at lvl 0, now its jakes turn to try again at valdys level (far in the future)

Seen Death

There was a barrier up when valdy said that, so only promordials (+ minaga?) Heard it but yeah should be interesting haha

Seen Death

That would be amazing

Michael Fannon

Not infertile, just much harder to conceive.

Red Viking

Yessss!

Nah its too soon

Michael Fannon

Hope is good. Poor Zog is moving, and hope may see him through this ordeal.

Jana

He already had one “of the Primal Hunter” Skill: Eternal Shadow of the Primal Hunter

Stian Bjøntegaard

Ok, still hope.. ☺️

Brandon Johnson

Yes today and tomorrow

Stian Bjøntegaard

Whazzup, nothing today?

Florian

If jake keeps supressing gods auras people may start to suspect that jake is actually Eversmile in disguise. While jake know Eversmile is one of the gods spreading that rumor.

Seen Death

In regards to "years for rank ups" i think his normal standard is something like 1/5th of the time that an average person takes? There will be many time skips though: for example weve already skipped atleast 70 years in time dilation (sim-jake + identify resistance). Although the rest of the universe had less time pass, i think time dilation is still 1:1 in regards to his soul age. Time is something jake has tons of, and he also (tries/should) max his profession and class before rank ups (alchemy is generally time skip central). He definitely levels fast in comparison, but this -1/5th speed seems like a good combo between speed and quality gain imo. Idk how long it took an "average god" to acquire godhood to calculate about how long it would take jake to do it

Kradish

Elp - where is my daily fix, Thursday and Friday are going to be rough.

Clark Price

Man I looooooooooved these last few chapters. Not gonna lie though im ready for nevermore to be done lol

sam

Jart or something like that lol

Jonathan

Casanova

RiCarlo Woods

My guess is that the divine realm will just be an external manifestation of the Soulspace. So however you imagine that to look but bigger.

CaptainFlowers

Reading this whole chapter put a bug smile on my face, but it has me wondering. How afraid of their fuckup is the Emberflight? Idk if that plot was accidentally dropped but lol when they hear about this and the power of Jake's bloodline, with him beating Valdemar too? They're gonna shit a brick

KenTX325

If he got a title what would it be?

Hayden Leech

No umbra? I am sad, If she was there Jake woulda noticed. Even if she was hiding.

Drew

Thump!

*so how did you meet* well, I completely outclassed her, she was calling herself the lord of the hunt, can you believe that.

I genuinely think he's going to kill rigoria to protect his vespernat daughter.

Gardor

Hey just a random, kinda whiney question: so these challenge dungeons are gonna be their own book? Just several unrelated sub-dungeons within the already massive dungeon arc, with zero character interaction or stakes, while time doesn't pass in the "real" world?

kry

I thought that Villy said in the very beginning that his wife was a god? Like their very first encounter back in the tutorial I think

Ty Cooper

I bet Minaga will fill Jake in on the situation in the room after he left.... or tease him.

Ty Cooper

I want to hear how he didn't make it to or not being close to beating valdy.

Ivo Wißen

He has skills in soul, time ,and space magic all he needs is karma

Ivo Wißen

I hope he reanounts yip of yore

JJB4345_80_815

Jake's character probably would be against a trophy room, but I would find it hilarious if he had a stuffed T-Rex & a couple Lovecraftian monsters mounted on his wall. Again, he's not much for ego stroking displays which is probably why I would find it funny.

SmokeJam

Yes, for the records of the god xD

Hunter Thornton

Yeah I want him to realize that when he poked Jake he was really pokin a sleepin dragon with a stick. A very small stick

Hunter Thornton

All hail the mighty privacy screen. It has thus prevented the total collapse of Jake’s life. Although it did just sick 3, if not 4, primordials on his ass and a Minaga. Anyone else feel like complicated isn’t even in the same universe of word used the describe his life?

jackalsclaw

His only dialogue will be a series of increasingly upset utterances of "what?!"

Mike

LoL yeah as long as they don't turn it into penthouse forums

Jumping Flounder

i hope he yells out “ya-hoo” when he does.

Jumping Flounder

banging a god while still at c rank has got to be good for the records.

Thatguycant

I'm hoping for a chapter with Ell'hakan to get his perspective on all the nonsense that's gone down so far and his realization of how screwed he is.

Decibel790

And it grows every time he evolves XD

Thatguycant

Jake is different in the sense that he has good morals and does care about people, he just doesn't give a shit about being a hero. He's brought this point up himself multiple times.

Decibel790

I really, really want to know what the sound effect of auras clashing would be if this got animated. Thanks for the chapter!

Thatguycant

If it's a bunch of crows it could be a whole murder of them.

Benjamin Mages

Not sure why you think this when it was stated that the Holy Mother has had dozens of children. Odds are most of them were after she became a god. Villy's deceased child was with an S-rank mortal several eras after he became a god.

Abdulaziz ALRumaih

I thought gods become infertile

Bobby B

Great chapter!Great comments! I’m looking forward to Artemis’s “private” lessons with Jake 😉

metzjc

I always knew Jake could beat Valdemar just not this early.

Bobby B

True. But the meteor/dungeon they are hurling through space in is called New Yalsten.

Ty Cooper

I honestly picture Jim Henson's Labyrinth. Jake just turns left and walks straight to the castle from finding the secret path.

Ty Cooper

He has a realm with every type of terrain other than water. He will have respawned the best creatures he has ever fought in their home turf.

Ty Cooper

So Jake tell us about any ladies in your life. Well there is this goddess of the hunt.

Luke Scheffe

So next is Minaga’s Labyrinth, followed by the House of The Architect and then Never Ending Journey, based on his chances of breaking them. Minaga’s is an easy high score, and the House of the Architect is energy control based, which is another easy thing with his bloodline.

Chris

I generally just love Valdemar. He's simple and blunt but he isn't stupid. He knew better than to blurt out that Jake beat him but told his fellow Primordials... who more than ever I think really don't care all that much about their supposed rivalries. I think they all want to see Jake go far for their own reasons.

Matt Spratte

me too!!

Tadek Peplinski

Pretty sure never-ending journey is like some distance speed run, and think it said something about the house of the architect being about energy control? Could be just my theories though

Brandon Johnson

I want to see the reactions from wider multiverse about the events that went down.

Ty Cooper

Can't wait to see all Jake got from that interaction! We can assume he will get the heretic-chosen levels. But how great would it be if he got the divine heretic title form beating Valdy in the aura match? In C-grade no less. Probably earning another title to that for c-grade. I can also see him getting another grand achievement % boost from the redacted test of character.

Yaldabaoth

Absolutely 💯 %

Allie

Oooooooh

Yaldabaoth

❤️🤣🤣🤣❤️

Yaldabaoth

Holy shit! That would be the greatest!? 🤣🤣

ReadingObsessed

Nice! Good chapter!

Grond (James)

Eversmile wasn't affected, same as the other Primordials. He was acting. It says so explicitly

Grond (James)

Eyes of the Primal Hunter: extremely high perception sphere

Balsamic ThunderThighs

Nothing like somehow getting a goddess as a future girlfriend. I expect 3 kids!

Kenneth Dennis

All I know is that it will not have mushrooms in it

Andrew K

No actual divine realm, but by abuse of his Origin connection can treat all of reality (except maybe other divine realms) as his divine realm - after all, when is a true hunter more at home than when on the hunt?

Isley

good chappie

James Faulkner

Unless it was something specifically about Jake’s bloodline that messed him up?

James Faulkner

Records for sure, holy shit

Ral

If Jake's fully powered bloodline can do everything Jake's skills can do but better Jake should go get more cornerstone skills; soul magic, karma magic, time magic, and space magic stuff!

Sheffi Ben-David

Jake disapproves of her indoctrination more than the idea of the Holyland itself. I think even Jake would view the holyland as a noble pursuit, despite the fact that he himself would never want to get anywhere close to it. He's human enough to understand that for most people, just getting to live a peaceful life is all they could ever ask for. His problem is with the holy church *forcing* that kind of life on people, manipulating them to commit suicide, etc.

John Balman

Damn that was surprising

James Faulkner

So goddamn good! Thanks for the chapter :)

Ral

It is only like that because of the way they did it. If it was angry rather then happy competition it would have different mood.

Ral

I'm pretty dure Jake suppresses human better then non-humans.

Ral

The other primordials seemed unfazed so eversmile got to be faking.

Ral

Or a... Herd, colony, army, shrewdness, troop, cete, shoal, cloud, cauldron, sleuth; Cubs, litter, swarm, sounder, gang, obstinacy, caravan, clowder, glaring, pounce, nuisance, clutter, kindle, destruction, drove, coalition, or brood.

Ral

Jake's protein arrow might get upgraded to origin quality somday

SmokeJam

Eversmile is gonna be so dead at some point xD

SmokeJam

I agree with the previous answer. His lodge and the endless forest around it is what he calls home and I would guess you could call the divine realm of a god their home too. This explanation might be a bit shallow though..

Adam Owada

What an ending reveal!

SmokeJam

Exactly, I love it

Jordan Jones

A primordial forest, I imagine. Not sure what else would fit. The trees would be absurdly large, all kinds of herbs and flowering plants, many of them loaded with deadly toxins…I’m sure a few of them would be beneficial alchemically in some benign way, too. Probably.

kingofshibainu

Artemis is so much fun

Rubeno

It's just an aura, nothing more.

Cam

Ohhhhh heck yeah!

Vega

That sounds like a one way ticket to the back rooms.

One Winged Angel

"Hail Jake Thayne, The Primordial Hunter!!!"

Jason Hardman

TYFTC! I wonder if Jake will give a private word to Villy about Eversmile? Spotted a small typo also "schemes when it benefit you", 'benefit' should be 'benefits'. Hope this helps.

SmokeJam

I dare say this chapter is one of the top 10. It was really fun to read, I like how you build up the Valdemar character, I hope he turns into a good drinking buddy after all is set and done. And I'm actually shipping Artemis and Jake, just so that all the other ladies lose their head and we get another round of chaos for clueless Jake :D imagine him trying to introduce her to his family

“A girl worth fighting foorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr”

One Winged Angel

Man that is so screwed up lol *C- Grade participates in a pissing contest with the Primordial or War and Rampage* *Looks and sees all the gods dropping like flies, wraps Artemis in a protective layer* "THAT IS MY ARTYBAE!!!!!"

Abhishek

Yeaahhhhhhhhhhhhhboiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Chase Koehn

Had this thought several times and I could see it simply being his little valley at Haven. Where else would a hunter be more at home than in his own domain? Long ways off though, he could easily find a place that’s more fitting before then!

Baconwargod

He just no clips through a wall.

Greg Lambert

Such a fun chapter. Loved all the interplay. Looking forward to future chapters with Artemis. Great line at the end adding the Jake protected her versus Natures Attendant. Very subtle, but great chapter setting up the future.

Star

I am really interested in other gods reaction to his words :) not a cliffhanger as such, but something to wait for

Luke Baldini

The holy mother is probably not a huge fan of Jake as he has a lot of away over Jacob. The church wants an auger to grow their power and not wanting any seeds of doubt planted into Jacob more than there already is

Michael

Quick side question that regards to Jake's possible future; anyone got any ideas as to how Jake's divine realm would look once he becomes the God level Primal Hunter

Star

I hope Meira "grows" and recognizes that it was simply a crush or something. She is totally unsuitable for Jake with her slave mentality going on. Yeah, she might be free now, but she won't be a good counterpart for that relatively passive and easygoing Jake

Luke Baldini

LOVE. THIS. Jake x Artemis pair ftw

Michael

The only word on artemis' mind right now "M**st

Michael

Definitely gave Vilas some good records

Loading Error

Bad god, he could be your fantasy! You can tell he got big aura energy!

dqmj7vmn6t

Yeah, good line! I was wondering if it was just a typo and he meant formally. But formerly is better! Would have been a good line for Valdemar or Villy too, but I guess she’s way below their notice.

Michael

Deepshire was the risen's city name

CalicoNSFW

I somehow expect Jake to enter Minaga's Labyrinth and find a super secret way to the exit in less than a minute or something, and the Wyrmgod to scold Minaga if he doesn't want to acknowledge that.

Eiv

Same! I feel content and happy with this chapter that I can go 4 days without an update.

Darnell Maxwell

I'm amazed Villy didn't notice that bit during the clash of auras. This just goes to show once again that Valdemar is simple, not stupid. Thank You Zogarth for writing the best Primordial like this. Also happy Thanksgiving.

Eiv

See, some reviewers of this book say that they don’t like Jake cause he is unfeeling or not caring much. But he is, but only to those he care about (even just a bit). And that is what I love about him, he does not try to save everyone but be on his good side and he will be good to you. (Ex. Shielding Artemis)

kry

I’ve been thinking about how Casper kept trying to get Jake to visit the Risen’s city on Earth (idk what it was called, though I know it was mentioned once) before they yeeted themselves off the surface. I think he said he had something for Jake and also that Jake should bring his alchemy supplies. I hope that gets followed up on at some point, Jake and Casper have great banter and Casper’s definitely a favorite character of mine. Also what a good chapter and perfect lead in to the next challenge dungeons.

Darthnarciss

She basically knows that Jake disapproves of her and her Holyland on a fundamental level, and on the way they tried to take over. Other than the "earth-centric" faction, almost all of the crap after the integration was done at the behest of the Church so they could take over. The church also drove out one of Jake's actual friends.

kry

I really hope Jake doesn’t actually end up with anyone monogamously. Or if he does it’s wayyyyyy down the road. I’m liking his very casual relationships he has right now, and I hope he can have some godly hookups. Also, tbh, I hope Meira falls out of infatuation with Jake. She seems too… gentle for him. He seems to go for very confident and straightforward women, and I feel it would be very out of character for him to pursue anything with Meira.

ItWasIDIO!!

*Mike drop* "Oh no Mike!"

John Looney

And we’ll tell them nothing but “you’re really going to want to see what happens next” 😈😈😈

kry

Make them suffer like we do 😂

Chrisbirdie

and man, I repeat myself. Zogarth the Primordial of cliffhangers

StuBee3

TFTC😎

Chrisbirdie

Its like Jake takes the meaning of Primordial and shows them what it actually means. The hype we are building towards Jake finally becoming a God is already insane. Legit everything about his bloodline seems to exist solely to hunt primordials.

One Winged Angel

Well lets run down the Legacy Skill list: Gaze of the Primal Hunter: Perception based Fear Skill Pride of the Primal Hunter: The ability to resist aura suppression Core Manipulation of the Primal Hunter: Breaks things down to Primal Energy Domain of the Primal Hunter: Territory Skill like Jakes bloodline lets him but weaker obviously

Michelle Maurice

Probably my favorite chapter yet. Well done!

Captain Nuclear

I assume this is one of the infinitely rare times Valdemar has lost a challenge of strength against another being

b bor

Aura of the Primal Hunter

Weight class in quality, not quantity. The second part will come with time.

Arrogant Savant

Jake rizzing up Artemis perfectly

kiwi

"The wood elf formerly known as the Lord of the Hunt" God he's so petty. Lmao.

Steven Ramey

Just Valdemar dropping casually dropping bombs

Abdulaziz ALRumaih

Wonder if this is going to be confirmed

Michael Fannon

I'm ok with another 15 years of this crack.

JJB4345_80_815

Jake's going to get another 25% on Minaga's dungeon, right? He's going to do another impossible showing, right? Anything less than 20% in his dungeon will be seen as a failure by Jake. I'm kinda interested in what the House of the Architect and the Neverending Journey are about and how the Neverending Journey differs from Minaga's labyrinth...

Michael Fannon

I'm not sure if the reward is strong enough, but I'm pretty sure that a few primordials can see it upgraded enough.

mitchell kaiser

I’m surprised the holy mother didn’t try to go tid for tat with the blight father. She didn’t even talk to Jake which was a little surprising. But loved all the interactions and glad Jake and Artemis got to meet in person. Good luck with your Move Zog!

John Looney

Totally evil thought but when the books catch up can u end one last chap and have people wait for this amazing chapter with wicked laughter

Precursor

Nope Jake's bloodline is the origin of humanity as it was said Jake is more human than humans.

Michael Fannon

I think that with all the girls being used to Jake's presence, she would be welcome there without worry of her being a god. Jake is going to end up with a harem rather he wants one or not at this rate. Least the Sword Saint can give him some helpful advice.

Michael Fannon

Jake is definitely flirting there quite well. Jake has grown quite a bit from forgetting to tell his people his name. But poor Meira.

Polish Squirell

This chapter made me want to read the series again to be able to wait for the next chapter. Well done zogarth

One Winged Angel

So effectively.....Jake is a Honey Badger in front of a pride of lions right now. He aint heard no bell.

Jaydan Man

I guess I'm thinking in line of how many years of story we have left. I can't see every grade having significant time in it. I even think this battlenwoth Yip will catapult both Jake and Villy in power

AA

Next chapter has to be a POV chapter from eversmile and the other gods....and Artemis

Red45jimster

Don't forget that Jake can pull energy from Villy without Villies permission

Jonathan

Predators stalk their prey for long periods to discover where the rest of their packs are. herds

Jonathan

Or at least records.

Awesome! Just utterly awesome! Thanks for the chappy, man! I thought that the Blightfather and Holy Mother would take more offense, but it was great being proven wrong. Valdemar and Artemis should start up their own Jake Thayne fanclub. I'm also glad that the Wrymgod shortened the scene so we can get more God TV reactions and move the story along. I wonder how all of the MERE non-Primordial gods are going to handle getting their presences kicked in the teeth by a FULLY protected C-grade. If ya can't squish 'im, treat 'im like royalty! Two Primordials within minutes of each other offering Jake a tour, presumably guided, of their lands for a C-grade doesn't happen very often I would assume. Enjoy the break and keep the awesomeness coming when you return!

Part of me hopes the minaga dungeon is just, like, a paragraph about Jake speed running it to set a new all time high score followed by a chapter or two of all the gods ragging on minaga while Jake breaks his dungeon wide open.

Malth

Eversmile is probably beside himself with joy from a research standpoint, despite his recent thoughts on Jake overstepping himself. Jake fucked up his original plan with William and the tutorial but he’s a factor never before seen and who knows how things will turn out when Jake is involved.

Namorat

This is literary crack to me. I need this week to be over now.

Michael Fannon

Great chapter. Jake subconsciously protecting Artemis without realizing it, and successfully against Valdemar, very interesting. No wonder she wants to discuss private matters futher. Have a good weekend, and may the underwater trial dungeon that is moving be suffered through quickly.

Den

Eversmile will think thrice and once more before fucking with Jake in the future

Abdulaziz ALRumaih

Thanks for the amazing chapter I’m going to reread it for the next couple of days See you all on Monday

Christopher Hendrix

TFTC! Great Chapter!

kyle

😂 15 RL years!

Ivo Wißen

A weak one not focus on battel he will be abel to kill at the beginning of S grade i think do to all his titels an the bloodline that will then be way more monsterous

Daniel is ŁØNE

I think he might be able to hunt low-tier gods consistently at High S-grade. I'd like to think he would be capable of it if he goes all out at a High A-grade but the sheer stat disparity makes me think otherwise, then again if he can unleash his currently sealed bloodline alongside the last stand mode he used against Valdemar by then, there's actually a pretty good chance since even at the level he was at he was able to temporarily steal control of the area in which the fight took place from Wyrmgod.

Scoutmaster2002

When did primordials become his weight class?

Aurelius

I love chapters like this lol

Paperback Hail6

Jake himself said that he wouldn't have been able to do anything if vlad used even a smidge of power with his aura. I don't see him fighting any gods in the next few millennium if that's the case. One day though I'm sure.

NoctisMi

Yeah a 4days cliffhanger would deadly

kyle

Can't he fight Jake in his coliseum reward?

kyle

Oh yeah Jake is a made man now!

Ivo Wißen

That MUST give some levels

Jana

Jup to be honest - I read the chapter and skipped the Titel. But since I already found Captain Obvious Hat, I’ll keep it :-)

bauspar

Yeah. But l ok think that being a should come with a certain mentality? Like the loss of humanity and gaining of godhood in LotM.

Paperback Hail6

Tyftc I'm so glad that we had a nice sloping hill at the end of this chapter. I'd be so sad if I had to wait 4 days after a brutal cliff. I barely made it to today after yesterday's cliff.

Tommy

Oooh this is so awesome! Jakey setting himself up for epic training battles in the future👍👍👍

Pablo Barbatto

Artemis a god sheeply apologizing to Jake a C rank. Pure gold.

jb qspam

I’m petty sure that’s exactly why the chapter’s name is what it is. Saying it without saying it.

Tyler S.

Valdamar is a heavy F***ing weight class

Tyler S.

As Villy says in book 6 yea hes soul equivalent to a god but his body housing it is to squishy and prone to damage

Chaotic Chaos

Lets gooooooooooooo

Michael

This is twice now that valdemar lost to Jake. And one thing I'm betting on is that eversmile was more affected by Jake rather than valdemar

Tyler S.

The blushing ears got me, and if she has the long Fey-like ears its so cute to imagine

Mohammed Sheekh

his bloodline stems from the origins of everything, so what if his bloodline is the origin of every other bloodline 🤔

Tyler S.

Why Jake has his device rewarded from the Collosium that creates a dualing ring with balanced power levels

Iron

What a great chapter :). Thanks again, and have a great time in your new home :D

Lawrence Dillon

Im really curious to what god Jake is going to hunt first im sure by the time he gets close to godhood theyll have run on sight orders if they see him

Caelum

If the primordials are Era 1, Jake's bloodline is Era 0 in power.

Sean Wildclaw

Amazing character can’t wait to read more

Aladanor

This was an awesome chapter and the thing i always enjoy the most. Its kinda like the rest is nice and all but mostly the necessary backbone for situations like this. And happy moving Zograth

OutKast MerkeR

I'm not sure the box would hold, but the prize he got from the coliseum brings stats to base. So he should be able to fight him in there

JonO

Yup....Jake is going to be dating a god.

solomon pagan

Jake won't lose to another human in his weight class

Justus Saucedo

After that he'll yeah she is. We all know she is down bad for Jake after that

Mohammed Sheekh

so now the multiverse knows that Jakes bloodline is primordial tier at the minimum

Justus Saucedo

I forgot that was a thing lol meria has some competition,

Victor Augusto Dantas Ferreira

Hahaha I can just imagine Artemis showing up to the Jake's girls meeting

Kurai

The fact that he now has a second primordials as an almost unquestionable ally just because Valdemar is a simple guy is so good. I really like characters like Valdemar

Chase Koehn

Oh Artemis is locked in now. Tftc!! Also I pity any God who comes for Jakes head now. Valdemar will obliterate anyone who tries before he has his rematch with Jake🤣

Justus Saucedo

I think in theory he could, but the disparity in stats make it impossible. Maybe when he's in A grade he could, but not any lower is what I think.

BlackRazaras

Thanks for the chapter

Joshua Morris

This is a perfect chance for Gurdren to get Valdemar to learn how to make avatars cause the sooner he learns to make one weak enough the sooner he can fight Jake.

Al

Thank Villy it’s not a brutal cliffhanger

Olof Karlsson

Thanks for the chapter!

bauspar

Fr

Justus Saucedo

Like if she didn't want him before. After that she for sure does 🫣

Michael McMahon

Holy shit the goosebumps when Valdemar said that he lost. Hope all goes well with the move over the next few days and thanks for the chapter.

Cory Sauls

Go Jake! Beat him with that Big Aura!

Justus Saucedo

Jake still being a badass. These chapters were a great. Really a well needed break from Nevermore. Thanks for the chapters

bauspar

Artemis x Jake 🔥🔥🔥

Thanks for the chapter!

Joao Vitor Franca

Cool! now just have to wait 15 years to see the fight between jake and valdemar 🥲

Valhazstromoz

Absolutely amazing chapters zogarth much appreciated. Keep up the great work man Also artys so damn cute I love her and valdys such a bro

Jana

Why does it feel like presence measuring contest are the god equivalent to dick measuring contests? A least it’s a lot less awkward doing it out in the open.

Godzilla511

FUCK YEAAHH!! BRO FLEX OFF!!! AAAHHH

DirePants

Lol good chapter

Lawrence Dillon

Whew I want to be Jake when i grow up 😂

Undead PettinZoo

Tyftc villy Dam it... you and your cliffhangers. Good luck moving

Naotsugu97

You know there’s a scene in princess bride where Billy Crystal’s character Miracle Max calls out “Have fun storming the castle!” With that scene in mind I want to say “Have fun moving!” 😉 Oh, and thanks as always for the chapter!

Ethan

Valdemar is going to be doing his damned best to make sure Jake makes it to Godhood simply so he can have a real fight

lockx

He lost! Yes this was amazing

Rubeno

Alternative title: "Dick measuring contest"

Jaydan Man

TFTC - If he can match a god in Aura at c rank, does he really need to become a god, or even an s rank before he kills one ?
