Jake appeared somewhere he had not expected to. A vast wasteland stretched out towards him, and he recognized it instantly.
The Divine Realm of the Malefic Viper?
Why had he been teleported here, of all places? Jake frowned as he considered if perhaps the situation was far more serious than he had first thought, and Villy wanted to protect him by sending him there. But that...
2023-03-08 12:00:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe two overwhelming auras clashed in mid-air, reality itself vibrating from the metaphorical dick-measuring contest of two beings approaching the apex. Jake saw several people he suspected to be gods in the crowd frown and slowly back away, a few even teleporting away to avoid getting caught in a fight far beyond their level.
“Bold of you to dare come here,” the Vipe...
2023-03-07 11:53:02 +0000 UTC View PostBack when Jake was in elementary school, the school thought it would be a great idea to make his entire class perform a play for their parents. Why this was a thing anyone ever thought forcing kids to do was acceptable, Jake didn’t know. He had tried all he could to just be a tree or some shit during the play, but no, he had been forced to have an actual role. He even had to speak four entire...
2023-03-06 11:57:40 +0000 UTC View PostVesperia looked at Caleb for less than a second before she simply smiled. ”No, but thank you for the offer.”
Jake gave Vesperia a massive mental thumbs-up as Caleb seemed a bit taken aback.
”Cute try, though, but while I do recognize Jake as my sire, that does not make his blood my family. I do not mean this in any offensive way; that is simply how things are,” Vesperia furt...
2023-03-02 11:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostMeira felt intimidated as she sat in the living room next to the extremely tall winged woman. To make it worse, the woman occasionally looked at her with eyes making her appear far older than she actually was. Her entire demeanor reminded her a bit of one of the old matriarchs she once saw visit her home village. Thinking about the place that used to be her home, she felt a bit down but quickly...
2023-03-01 11:58:15 +0000 UTC View PostJake sat in the chair as he tried really fucking hard to ignore the eyes drilling into the back of his neck from the fanatic sculptor. The man was relentless, and it took Jake several minutes to convince the guy that sitting in a chair with a Chosen in his presence was acceptable conduct. Could he have just let the guy continue kneeling or kowtowing throughout their entire meeting? Yes, he coul...
2023-02-28 12:01:09 +0000 UTC View PostTwo weeks wasn’t a long time in the grand scheme of things, and before Jake knew it, the fated day had arrived. He was honestly surprised at how little he had to do during this time, with no one really bothering him besides Miranda giving him the occasional reminder.
He wasn’t dragged out for a shopping trip for new clothes or even informed how things would proceed. Jake also actively...
2023-02-27 07:29:06 +0000 UTC View Post”No, slaves would not be a desired gift,” Jake said, confused at why Izil instantly jumped to ask about that. Unless…
”Wait, was the Altmar Empire planning on gifting me a bunch of slaves?”
Izil looked a bit uncomfortable at the question before she sighed.
”During these past few years, the Empire has already expanded into the ninety-third universe and blessed quite...
2023-02-24 12:08:04 +0000 UTC View PostMushrooms were evil existences created only to bring suffering to everything and everyone. No one liked them, and they only created misery and sadness for anyone unfortunate enough to interact with them too much.
This innate evil gave them only two valid functions: to be destroyed or be used to destroy others.
Jake refused to see them have any other purposes. Hence why he had decide...
2023-02-23 11:58:08 +0000 UTC View PostJake went back to his mansion and decided to head outside and check up on Vesperia first thing. He walked out the door and saw a large magic circle placed on the lawn not far from where Vesperia had been born, the Hive Queen sitting in the center. A cocoon of energy surrounded her, and Jake felt she was in deep meditation. Looking at the circle, he was sure she would notice if he got closer, so...
2023-02-22 12:01:49 +0000 UTC View PostJake reached the bowyer after teleporting to the right district and quickly headed inside. Contrary to most other shops Jake visited, this one was far simpler and had a thoroughly tribal atmosphere. Pelts of powerful beasts lined the walls, and several bows used as showcases were protected behind barriers, proudly on display.
One of the four beastfolk that Jake had talked with last he and...
2023-02-21 12:08:56 +0000 UTC View PostIrinixis lay on the large bed and stared at the overly decorated ceiling of the ridiculously expensive hotel. The silky blanket barely covered her body, and she felt like she was almost in a trance. Every second she expected to wake up from some powerful illusion or cruel mental attack, but with every moment passing with nothing happening, the world was proven more and more real.
Turning ...
2023-02-20 12:18:40 +0000 UTC View PostJake appeared in his mansion and didn’t hesitate to head to his lab to avoid conversations with both Vesperia and Meira. He felt drained from all the socialization and just wanted to unwind by himself.
Entering the lab, Jake took a seat on a chair and took out the item Villy had given him. The energy he had felt when he received it was similar, but it was only now he realized why. Becau...
2023-02-17 12:02:27 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire room appeared frozen as Jake and Villy grinned at each other, Jake finding the prank from the Viper funny. He had, of course, seen him act like a servant, as Jake’s sphere didn’t care about the illusion the god had placed upon himself. From the Viper’s grin, Jake had acted just as predicted, resulting in a great prank.
At least Jake thought it was a good prank… the prob...
2023-02-16 12:06:02 +0000 UTC View PostThinking about it, the prevalence of restaurants pretty much everywhere in the multiverse was kind of weird. It was understandable they existed in low-ranked areas with a lot of people in lower grades, but somewhere like the Order? Barely anyone had to eat. Yet they were still in every single district, and from the looks of it, damn popular too.
Jake asked Irin a bit about the benefits of...
2023-02-15 12:01:53 +0000 UTC View PostBringing Irin along for his shopping trip was definitely the best decision he could have made, as there was no fucking way he would have found all the good stores she knew about on such short notice. She gladly pointed out all the shit ones that overcharged customers, had untalented hacks working there, or those who had just recently had a change of ownership and were still untested.
Jake...
2023-02-14 12:03:13 +0000 UTC View PostJake was polite and asked both Meira and Vesperia if they wanted to join him on his shopping trip, and he quickly got two declines. Vesperia because she saw it as far too risky to walk around in public as a True Royal, and Meira because she claimed to be busy. The fact that she refused to even open her door and he saw her hiding under a blanket through his sphere made him doubt that explanation...
2023-02-13 12:07:16 +0000 UTC View Post“Is he…?” the plump old alchemist asked as he looked at the screen.
”Yep,” Vilastromoz confirmed.
“This scene is a bit odd, isn’t it?” Duskleaf questioned.
“Not gonna question it,” the snake god shrugged, not seeing anything wrong with the admittedly weird-looking scene.
They were naturally watching Jake give Vesperia head pats, the prideful True Roya...
2023-02-10 11:57:03 +0000 UTC View PostJake had been reluctant to reveal himself as Chosen for a long time, and with good reason too. However, the more time passed, the more he began to realize how meaningless hiding his identity truly was. One day it would get out, whether he liked it or not. Be it through something like this where he did something a god would notice, and that god then leaked it, or through one of the people alread...
2023-02-09 11:58:55 +0000 UTC View PostJake, by now, realized: he had fucked up. At least he felt like he had fucked up. But upon looking at Vesperia sitting beside him, calmly drinking her tea while Villy explained, he couldn’t say he regretted what he had done. Despite only meeting that day, he liked Vesperia. Who couldn’t like someone with a damn stinger gun?
”This is… kind of bad, isn’t it?” he finally asked, m...
2023-02-08 11:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostVilly didn’t even give Jake and Vesperia a chance to respond as he teleported all three of them into the living room, where the tea set from before was still present. The god waved his hand and cleared it, only for it to be replaced with new tea – and cookies – right after.
”So, as always, Jake, you underestimate the impact of your actions while I purposefully don’t make you awa...
2023-02-07 11:54:57 +0000 UTC View PostThe human and Hive Queen walked out of the mansion and onto the grass lawn outside. Vesperia spoke as they walked, explaining some more things.
”The Hive Queen form is designed to appeal to as many of the higher-tier races in the multiverse as possible in order to optimize our ability to find mates, and like other monsters, we do possess the polymorph skill to further alter ourselves. T...
2023-02-06 11:56:25 +0000 UTC View PostVesperia stared at Meira, Meira stared at both Jake and Vesperia as she shifted between them, and Jake tried to look at neither, feeling awkward as fuck. He considered asking for Villy to beam him up and allow him to escape. Or, at the very least, for someone to please cut the building tension.
”If you were asking if Jake succeeded in the ritual outside, then yes. As the result of the a...
2023-02-03 11:59:40 +0000 UTC View PostJake was taken aback at the Queen’s intense stare but even more so by how she addressed him.
”Sire?” Jake asked with confusion. No, wait, she had just been born, right? How did she even know how to talk? Why did she look like a fully mature woman? Why did she also give him the vibes of a fully grown adult with some innate sense of manners?
”Is that not what you are?” the H...
2023-02-02 12:01:33 +0000 UTC View PostVilastromoz appeared just as he saw Jake pass out. He crouched down and placed a finger on his Chosen’s forehead, making the hunter twitch slightly as an instinctual response, but otherwise, Jake did not move. The Viper scanned his body briefly before nodding.
He had thoroughly exhausted his own resource pools, and his soul seemed more feeble than usual. Health Points were dangerously l...
2023-02-01 12:05:36 +0000 UTC View Post“Not quite as I had hoped,” the old swordsman smiled to himself as he shook his head. It had been difficult, but in the end, he had done it. The spirit of competitiveness had truly fueled him as he became aware that Jake had gained a mythical skill from his Patron, Aeon. It had pushed his old bones further than he thought they could handle, and his desire had intertwined with his competitiv...
2023-01-31 12:03:36 +0000 UTC View PostJake’s theory – that barely even qualified as a theory – did have some major flaws. Primarily, he had no idea if this hypothetical transfer of Records would be the extremely negative and permanently damaging kind to the user.
It also wasn’t even certain he could do what he wanted. During the things with Sylphie and Sandy, Jake had, at least indirectly, infused a Unique natural tre...
2023-01-30 11:58:01 +0000 UTC View PostJake’s second nap of the day was quite a bit longer than the first one. He ended up sleeping nearly ten hours straight, the longest in quite a while. And yes, he still categorized that as a nap.
Honestly, sleeping at higher grades was a weird thing. You didn’t need to sleep, and Jake had heard that some races just straight-up couldn’t, but those who started at lower grades where sle...
2023-01-27 10:22:10 +0000 UTC View PostJake kept staring at the corpse of the Hive King for several more seconds, still ready for anything to happen. It looked like it could begin moving at the very next second, even if he knew it wouldn’t. It took a few seconds for Jake to finally dismiss the katars as he fell backward onto his ass, breathing out a loud sigh of relief.
“Damn, you were tough,” Jake said out loud to the c...
