Hello everyone! Been a bit since I made one of these.
So, first of all the good stuff. Book 11 just released on Audible and is sitting at rank 3 on the store as of this moment! In case you haven’t noticed or want to snatch it up, the link is below:

2025-03-05 23:18:47 +0000 UTC View PostJake stood on an observation deck above the bridge of the ship as he saw the world pass by all around him. It was nothing but a constant stream of colors with nothing distinct ever visible, their speed simply too high for him to distinguish anything.
He had remained interested in how the spaceship worked, and he’d assumed it would work a bit like Sandy and their ability to enter subspac...
2025-03-05 12:19:22 +0000 UTC View PostThe Order of the Malefic Viper hadn’t been the most diplomatic organization for a very long time. It mainly stuck to itself and had other factions come to it as its only method of communicating with others. No matter how much the Order declined, the Academy of the Malefic Viper remained a top-tier institution of the multiverse due to the Malefic Viper’s Legacy, maintaining many of the Order...
2025-03-04 12:15:58 +0000 UTC View Post“Are they valuable?” Jake asked as he looked at the three bottles on the table. He’d already tried to use Identify on them to no avail, but considering their source, they had to be valuable. It wasn’t easy to tell, though, as he didn’t even get a response when he used the skill despite knowing they were obviously items. For all he knew, all three could be filled with water.
“I...
2025-03-03 12:14:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sword Saint would be lying if he said he hadn’t expected that question to come at some point. He also understood why, from their point of view, it was odd for him to carry around an ancient vampire artifact without turning into a vampire himself. However, no matter what people thought, he had his reasons.
One’s they quite frankly weren’t privy to.
“Vampirism... isn’t p...
2025-02-28 12:08:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe Sword Saint was fully aware that the Blood Legacy was far from an ordinary treasure, but perhaps he’d slightly underestimated it still. He’d assumed that while the treasure was definitely important, it wasn’t necessarily to the level where gods needed to be involved.
Perhaps that was just his own lack of understanding. Seeing as the item had come from a D-grade system event, he ...
2025-02-27 12:00:23 +0000 UTC View PostJake watched through his sphere as Irin stumbled in the hallway and had to lean on the wall for support. She was breathing heavily and didn’t look good at all, making Jake a bit worried.
It was evident the Viper’s aura was overwhelming for her, making Jake look at the snake god with narrowed eyes. “Rein it in a bit.”
Villy looked at Jake for a moment before sighing. “Fine....
2025-02-26 10:11:44 +0000 UTC View PostRight after Jake noticed the arrival of the god, Sylphie also reacted as her head perked up, and she looked around a bit frantically. Quickly, she realized who it was that had arrived as she jumped off Jake’s head with a small screech.
“Ree!” she said, making Jake nod in understanding.
“Fair enough, you go fly around a bit,” Jake didn’t argue as Sylphie decided to give J...
2025-02-25 11:48:16 +0000 UTC View PostJake needed a moment as he was pretty sure he’d heard Irin wrong. “He asked me if I wanted to be what?”
“To be his best man... I believe that’s what you call it on your planet, right? It may be a bit different, and amongst the demons, we call it a prime witness, but there certainly are some similarities,” Irin shrugged, still pretty casual about the entire thing.
“Go b...
2025-02-24 12:02:45 +0000 UTC View PostIt was evident a lot of people had looked forward to getting out of the universe as fast as possible once it opened up. Jake had rightfully expected a few people to tag along with him, but he had severely underestimated just how many it would be... because he wasn’t sure when his poor little lodge had last been this busy.
The Sword Saint, along with Reika and some of the alchemists from...
2025-02-21 12:26:53 +0000 UTC View Post“I’m not even sure if that was an insult or not...” Jake answered after a bit, still not certain what the hell a dendrophile was. It was times like this he really missed having the internet, as usually he would just search up stuff like that. Hopefully he could get his own Partial Omniscience or something similar in the future...
“It was merely an observation. If...
2025-02-20 12:25:25 +0000 UTC View PostAll good things must come to an end.
Jake had enjoyed the time he’d spent with his family. While it hadn’t led to much progress, he had managed to get some work done here and there, primarily by playing with his Puzzle Box of the Seeker or meditating and studying the Record Fragment left by the First Sage.
Besides that, Caleb had convinced Jake to help train a few assassins, but...
2025-02-19 12:26:50 +0000 UTC View PostJake digested Caleb’s words, agreeing with his statements... both that it sucked and that they should let their parents decide how they wanted to live. Jake was a big believer in freedom, and it would be too hypocritical even for him if he forced his parents to do something they didn’t want to, only to make himself feel better.
Caleb noticed Jake’s look and gave him a comforting smi...
2025-02-18 12:16:56 +0000 UTC View PostDays passed as Jake had his first real holiday in a long while. In the large compound his parents lived in, several empty buildings were present, one of which was specifically constructed for Jake to live in should he visit.
Having his own space was nice as it allowed him to disconnect if he wanted some alone time. Seeing as no one – besides Adam – had to sleep, there weren’t any na...
2025-02-17 12:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the initial nervousness, things calmed down as Jake sat down and had something to eat and drink with Caleb and company. This included the extremely tasty raisin cookies, of course. During it all, Adam kept asking a lot of questions, but luckily, they weren’t the dangerous sort. At least most of them weren’t.
Jake gladly answered most as doing so mainly involved telling tales of ...
2025-02-14 12:17:24 +0000 UTC View PostCaleb, perhaps to get away from Jake, who’d just spoken words many found controversial, teleported down before Jake. He disappeared like a shadow, only to reappear on the lawn below, right in the path of Adam’s swing. His little brother already had a staff out as he blocked the blow with a big grin on his face.
Adam was surprised for a moment before he also grinned and really started ...
2025-02-13 08:44:19 +0000 UTC View PostAfter leaving Haven, Jake didn’t take long to get to his destination. He only briefly stopped by Miranda to inform her he was going to visit his family. She seemed oddly happy to hear that and shooed Jake out of her office pretty quickly.
From there, the actual travel time was negligible, and soon enough, he found himself at the teleportation station placed right outside the city. Most ...
2025-02-12 12:17:08 +0000 UTC View PostJake was generally confident when it came to understanding monsters, especially those he’d known for a while. He didn’t need them to speak regular words for him to understand their meaning, but sometimes, he did question whether he got things right. This was one such instance. Not because what Rick said was unclear, but because Jake simply refused to acknowledge what he said as the truth. 2025-02-11 11:56:29 +0000 UTC View Post
Miranda scanned the latest reports from some of the officials she’d stationed on other planets and sighed after only going over a few. It was an odd thing to say, but she kind of missed the days when they were all at war. War did suck in many ways, yes, but in others, it was also a lot simpler.
In war, you had the option to just crush opposition, but it generally wasn’t viewed as very...
2025-02-10 14:22:30 +0000 UTC View PostAs things in the Milky Way Galaxy calmed down, the exact opposite was happening around it.
All across the ninety-third universe, the Prima Guardian event was only now starting to really pick up in pace. As the thousand-day deadline till all the Prima Guardians would be released grew closer, the more pressure the local leaders and fighters were under. They needed to kill as many Primas as ...
2025-02-07 12:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostDespite being caught red-handed – or taloned, in Sylphie’s case – the two showed no remorse after having once more stolen Jake’s bananas. He was seriously beginning to consider if he needed to create an actual defensive barrier to keep them safe at this point. Alas, at least the musa was still growing after Jake had added the soil from that time mage guy in Nevermore City. It would prob...
2025-02-06 12:16:50 +0000 UTC View PostIn the end, Jake’s trip to the Holy Church’s planet didn’t conclude as he’d expected. He had fully assumed it would result in Jake and his faction having an all-out war with the stubborn Church, and he was genuinely relieved it hadn’t gone that far, as it would just have been so damn pointless.
That was also why Jake cut Jacob some slack in this entire scenario. He was still ann...
2025-02-05 12:15:06 +0000 UTC View PostJake kept observing as Carmen finished her ritual, and as the Desolate Child of Loss was fully destroyed, he better understood why bringing her was a good idea. He hadn’t even known Carmen had a skill like this, which was seemingly tailor-made to kill creatures like the False God. It was a creature Jake had theorized how to kill himself several times but had never found a better answer than j...
2025-02-04 12:15:03 +0000 UTC View PostJake still wasn’t entirely sure how to approach Jacob and Bertram, who seemingly just stood there waiting for him, but he knew he wanted answers, one way or another.
Flying over, he landed not far from the two of them, and Bertram didn’t even try to stand in front or be defensive. Not that he needed to, as Jake had no thoughts of attacking, at least not if he wasn’t forced into it.<...
2025-02-03 12:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostThe Powershot pierced through the holy construct and struck one of the people within, blowing a hole through their chest and destroying the special armor the holy warrior had been wearing.
Despite this massive hole, the person remained alive, though he barely looked human anymore. Veins of glowing light marred his entire body, burning his life away from within, and the attack he’d just ...
2025-01-30 11:52:38 +0000 UTC View PostJake braced himself as he prepared for the arrival of something that would definitely change the balance of the battle. He was attacked from all sides but still went on the offensive as he clashed with the Desolate Child of Loss in melee.
His Katar met the spear of desolation-infused bone, the katar winning out, but Jake still didn’t come out of it entirely unscathed as the creature rel...
2025-01-29 12:19:22 +0000 UTC View PostJake continued his slaughter, killing hundreds of powerful C-grade fighters. These were individuals who had been branded as elite and were always received respectfully whenever they traveled.
Yet, in front of Jake, they were but lambs to the slaughter. The difference between an elite and someone standing at the pinnacle of their grade was an incomprehensible gap that they simply had no wa...
2025-01-28 12:18:58 +0000 UTC View PostExplosions of destructive arcane energy rocked the entire holy city and destroyed hundreds of structures immediately while forcing the fighters from the Holy Church out in the open, killing a few of the weakest ones in the process.
Dozens of attacks arrived at his location, but Jake was too fast and moved close to the ground as he got away. Flying into the air would only make him more of ...
2025-01-27 12:16:55 +0000 UTC View PostYeah, fuck no, I don’t.
While Jake certainly believed that the Holy Church would use Ell’Hakan’s Bloodline efficiently, he didn’t trust that they would only use it “for good.”
Because in the eyes of the Holy Church, anything that helped their faction was for the greater good. Were they going to use the Bloodline to try and create super therapists? Probably. Were...
2025-01-24 12:18:10 +0000 UTC View Post“Are you sure your report is accurate?” Miranda asked as she flew alongside Kindroth and Lillian with their escort in tow. “While I wouldn’t classify this area as well-explored, I find it difficult to believe our scouts would have missed a hidden dungeon.”
“Yeah, tell me about it, I was also surprised,” Kindroth answered, shaking his head. “I was definitely baffled when I ...
