The atmosphere in the negotiation room wasn’t great as Jake had clearly set himself up as a highly contentious negotiator who wasn’t easy to convince of anything, much less reach a compromise with. Still, the head priest tried.
“Please relax. There’s no reason for us to be antagonistic toward one another,” the head priest raised his hands. “I do not disagree that you did indee...
2025-01-22 12:14:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe Holy Church had already reached out with the intent of finding a peaceful solution shortly after Jake returned to Earth after slaying Ell’Hakan. After he killed Bertram, they were understandably worried about what actions Jake would take next. However, from the looks of the communications Miranda received, they genuinely believed they could reach a satisfying solution where they could wal...
2025-01-21 12:17:05 +0000 UTC View PostJake considered the five summoned bows closely, his immediate reaction being one of pleasant surprise. Sure, he’d known Maria was probably pretty skilled at making bows, considering she was a genius only behind people like the Sword Saint and himself, but that had only been when it came to combat. He had used a bow made by her before, sure, and that bow had been okay but definitely not top-ti...
2025-01-20 12:11:42 +0000 UTC View PostUsing Gwyndyr to contact Maria had been a bit of a gamble, as truthfully, Jake hadn’t even been confident the god was able to. There was still a bit of a veil between the ninety-third universe and the rest of the multiverse, but now it could at least be pierced a little. Doing so wasn’t that hard from inside the ninety-third universe, and Jake hoped that gods could poke through if they real...
2025-01-17 12:19:24 +0000 UTC View PostLocating Maria proved more problematic than Jake had first assumed. He naturally started by asking Miranda if she knew where the fire archer was at or had a way to contact her, and she did as Maria carried one of Arnold’s walkie-talkies.
So that was good.
However, when Miranda tried to reach out, she went straight to voicemail. Okay, there wasn’t actually any kind of voicemail; ...
2025-01-16 12:15:50 +0000 UTC View Post“This place really is shabby compared to Bobby’s planet,” Carmen muttered as she walked through the small city with Sven, the City Leader of the place. She had just returned to Earth only about an hour ago, and in all honesty, she didn’t really wanna be there. At least she had one person she actually liked around, as on her other side walking with them was Pam, the City Leader of the to...
2025-01-15 12:15:33 +0000 UTC View PostIt was already well-established that the First Sage was overpowered as fuck, yet his level of overpoweredness seemed to have no end.
Jake was silent for several seconds after Villy’s revelation until he also couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of everything. It was truly to the level of just being silly. It also helped Jake even further understand why Villy had never really vie...
2025-01-14 12:15:10 +0000 UTC View PostAccording to many scholars in Paths, Legacy skills likely made up the majority of all skills in the entire multiverse. From huge divine factions having an untold number who walked Paths entirely made up of Legacy skills to a master with a single disciple to pass down aspects of his Path. It wasn’t odd for someone from the Holy Church or an assassin trained by the Court of Shadows to have more...
2025-01-13 12:21:02 +0000 UTC View PostBoth were silent for a few seconds before the First Sage looked back down at Jake. “Now, we will have to address this Record Fragment before you return to your time. I cannot be brought along while in this form where I possess consciousness... so allow me to give you a final gift.”
The First Sage leaned back in the chair as he continued. “The first thing you gained tod...
2025-01-10 12:24:23 +0000 UTC View PostFor several seconds, Jake’s Soulspace was reminiscent of the void as nearly nothing existed there. The only clue that it was even his Soulspace was the sky of arcane mana that still remained, unaffected by the changes to come, as there, quite frankly, was nothing to improve on. At least not directly. All improvements would come from bringing the sky in balance with the rest of the Soulspace.<...
2025-01-09 12:14:56 +0000 UTC View PostThe question that had really gotten the gears turning in Jake’s head had been when the First Sage asked Jake why the ground appeared as it did. It was such a simple question, but when he thought about it, Jake realized he didn’t have an answer... because he’d never thought about it.
Never questioned it.
It had taken Jake longer than he would have liked, but he soon realized th...

It became clear rather swiftly that they still had time for the First Sage to give Jake a final opportunity, as he was only unconscious for about half a minute before his eyes opened once more. He raised his head slowly and met the eyes of the First Sage.
“Willingly knocking yourself out and remaining knocked out to better accommodate the influx of knowledge and Records is qu...
2025-01-06 12:09:28 +0000 UTC View Post“Not going to lie, I kind of expected my reward for this would purely be Records,” Jake said after the First Sage mentioned he wouldn’t let Jake leave empty-handed. Something he truly didn’t feel like he was even if he left here and now.
“In some ways, no matter what you gain, it will have purely been Records... but I understand what you mean. Records are certainly part of the r...
2024-12-20 12:29:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe world shifted again as Jake found himself transported out of the semi-void back to standing within a tower once more. However, despite the change in environment, he just kept staring into thin air as the “fight” he’d just seen replayed in his head.
Calling it a fight at all felt wrong.
It was more a display of absolute dominance. An effortless one, done simply as a chore a...
2024-12-19 12:18:55 +0000 UTC View PostJake had no idea what it meant to take a walk down memory lane, but there was no way he would reject such a proposal.
“Where are we going?” Jake asked curiously. Seeing as he was talking to a level 9 G-grade human and that his Pulse of Perception covered the entire city and far beyond, Jake had a hard time seeing anywhere they could go... which just proved his lack of imagination.
... 2024-12-18 12:24:54 +0000 UTC View PostThe question from the First Sage hung in the air for several seconds as Jake digested it. He had well and truly expected the First Sage to know all about Jake from the beginning, seeing as he seemed almost all-knowing... yet from his question, it was almost the exact opposite. Something that just didn’t track his expectations at all and made Jake question the old man.
“You really don...
2024-12-17 12:25:10 +0000 UTC View PostWhat even are Records?
This was a question Jake had naturally asked Villy before and gotten a rather generic response that one’s Records were the gathering of all one’s actions and achievements throughout life. One’s Records was made up of one’s Path vice versa. Records were everything... but that only raised more questions.
Because if they were everything, then how could Re...
2024-12-16 12:13:00 +0000 UTC View PostJake always liked coming home for a nice session of alchemy. Having such an enjoyable pastime certainly helped him not be annoyed when matters he deemed more important or urgent had to be temporarily put on the back burner.
He especially didn’t mind it this time around, as his next level would be quite the impactful one. Jake was level 299 in his profession currently, meaning that with ...
2024-12-13 12:20:42 +0000 UTC View PostMiranda was busy trying to go over all the many messages she was constantly being sent by World Leaders spread throughout the galaxy, her head starting to hurt from all the damn work she had put upon herself.
These World Leaders were often desperate, wanting answers instantly as they were in the process of trying to find a way to survive this entire conflict. Sadly for them, Miranda was f...
2024-12-12 12:02:03 +0000 UTC View PostVilly was very interested in Jake’s fight with Ell’Hakan, far more than Jake had thought he would be, considering it was just a battle between C-grades. Alright, to be fair, the god was clearly just being polite while listening to Jake’s tale... right up until Jake mentioned Ell’Hakan going full delulu Celestial Child mode.
After that, the Viper began to show genuine interest as J...
2024-12-11 12:14:05 +0000 UTC View PostJake stretched as he felt his mobility back to normal, and his body pretty much fully healed. Sleeping truly was one of the most overpowered hidden skills in the multiverse, speeding up healing so damn much it was almost unfair for those who didn’t have the ability to sleep. Well, alright, based on what Jake had learned by talking to Dina during Nevermore, everyone could still technically lea...
2024-12-10 12:13:11 +0000 UTC View PostAll attempts to contain the news of Ell’Hakan’s death were an utter failure. Many World Leaders didn’t even try as they were unsure of what exactly they were supposed to do. Now that they had lost their leader, did it even make any sense to try and hide his death? To some, the answer was no, as they instantly began to look into alternatives, as they knew there was no way to survive in the...
2024-12-09 12:15:57 +0000 UTC View PostJake was whisked through space as his teleportation ring finally activated. Below him, the planet was nearer to collapse than ever, but Jake didn’t stick around to see its final moments, even if it would have been interesting to do so.
While he wasn’t entirely certain what would happen with a planet that lost its core or had the core destroyed, he knew it, at the very least, meant it ...
2024-12-06 12:10:21 +0000 UTC View PostJake just stared at the guy before frowning. “You want me to kill you?”
“That would be best,” Bertram nodded.
“Why?” Jake just asked. Sure, he was pissed at the situation, but clearly, it was more complicated than he knew. Especially with the way Jacob had talked making it very obvious he wanted Jake to do something about it.
“Because we stole the soul of Ell’H...

Because no fight was truly over until the system notification said so.
He remained on guard despite his danger sense not picking up anything. Watching the starlight scatter, Jake questioned the la...
2024-12-04 12:19:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe dark skies above were roaring with power, the faith energy of Ell’Hakan having all gathered into one singular point. A pressure powerful enough to calm the planet briefly washed over it right after Ell’Hakan spoke as the eclipse formed.
Gone was the scorching heat of the sun, the stillness of the moonlight having completely disappeared. Instead, it was replaced with something else...
2024-12-03 12:20:05 +0000 UTC View PostJake’s Pride of the Malefic Viper pressed Ell’Hakan as he managed to force the nahoom back by unleashing a blast of arcane mana, and using that opening, Jake rapidly charged and loosed an Arcane Powershot.
More flesh and blood were torn off as Ell’Hakan was sent spinning, but he stabilized in mid-air, only to unleash a crescent wave of starlight that tore apart the tower Jake had qu...
2024-12-02 12:14:30 +0000 UTC View PostExplosions and cutting waves of crescent moonlight reshaped the landscape as Jake and Ell’Hakan battled across the planet’s surface, tearing everything up in their path. Most of it was sand, but there were also plenty of massive rocky plains for them to destroy as Jake constantly redirected Ell’Hakan’s blow away from himself and into the environment, with the nahoom not caring in the sl...
2024-11-29 12:28:04 +0000 UTC View PostA beam of moonlight struck where Jake had just been standing as he dodged out of the way, but rather than leave a big burning hole like the sunbeams had before, this one was far more subtle. Where it had hit, the ground just turned white and cracked, a faint wave of extreme cold washing over Jake from the impact spot.
First fire, now ice, Jake mentally commented as the Celes...
