Jamis, my favorite Messenger.

2026-02-22 13:51:53 +0000 UTCHe started working on it with the tribulation lightning lady and it's been two years so I'm sure there has been further steps

2026-02-21 05:01:53 +0000 UTC“I mentioned my agents on Earth. While they have been careful to avoid your spirit domains, I am not ignorant to the goings on within. What interests me specifically is the work of one Carlos Quilido. In less than a decade, his research has borne far more fruit than even he anticipated.” “You want his method of purging monster core residue?” When did Carlos discover this? Did I miss something?

2026-02-15 13:21:49 +0000 UTCThadwick is not associating with only energy vampires, but regular vamps too.
Kristy Riedel
2026-02-13 08:44:21 +0000 UTCGlad you're back Shirt. small typo though I found “You’ve keeping the truth from your prime avatar?” Jamis asked. This either should be You're or you need to add a word 'Been' for You've been.
Kalanaere
2026-02-12 04:57:59 +0000 UTCIn chapter 959, we learn that sunlight doesn't hurt energy vampires, so I'm not sure that Jamis asked for that to trade/give/whatever with Thadwick. ... “What about magic sunlight turning vampires evil?” Taika asked. “Energy vampires aren’t subject to the same effects,” Clive said through voice chat from the lab. ... “Magic-infused sunlight doesn’t impact the personalities of energy vampires the way it does the regular vampires,” he said. “In fact, vampires and energy vampires aren’t the same kind of creature at all, despite the name.” “He’s right,” Carlos said through voice chat. “Energy vampires aren’t self-perpetuating, like regular vampires. They only come into being through unusual circumstances.” “Like with Thadwick,” Neil said. “Exactly,” Carlos said. “It’s why energy vampires are so much rarer. Their connection to actual vampires is thematic at most. The hunger, the need to feed on the living. The underlying magic is very different.” “Are you sure?” Humphrey asked. “Quite certain,” Carlos said. “I’ve vivisected more energy vampires than anyone on Pallimustus, so far as I’m aware.” ...

2026-02-07 08:13:22 +0000 UTCOk, rereading this, and it’s a wild guess, but I’m guessing the one attacking will be the goddess of knowledge with a whole skad of gold rankers. Maybe even in alliance with astral forces. Or maybe the whole Pantheon…but no, they’ve repeatedly called the enemy “her”… hm…. Theory number 2 - it’s somehow the Order of the Reaper. No basis for this guess though. Lol!

2026-02-07 01:32:50 +0000 UTCOh shit so much was dropped in this chapter it's good to be back

2026-02-05 22:18:08 +0000 UTCNear confirmation of my theory that the threat we don't know about is the Pallli Gods asserting themselves as the Pantheon of Earth.

2026-02-05 00:15:20 +0000 UTCGlad you are recovering Shirtaloon! As happy as I am to have more Jason and Gang make sure you take all the time you need to recover.
Luke Camacho
2026-02-04 21:58:31 +0000 UTCOoooh now this is some good writing and story telling. No diss to other stories I’ve been reading- but Jason has the most personality, the story is action and character driven, the stakes and conflicts while divine and cosmological are still very human and relatable. Even the antagonists we meet are multidimensional and complex. Again no offense to other stories but they rely heavily on the system or gods too often. The battles become repetitive. And a few other things I can point out but suffice it to say that HWFWM is definitely a master class. TFTC Shirt!
DirePants
2026-02-04 21:40:26 +0000 UTCGreat to see you back in action Shirt! And I hope your recovery is still proceeding as well as it can be!
Derek
2026-02-04 13:54:42 +0000 UTCCalling it here. Jamis gives thadwick and Thalia the method to bring back his sanity in exchange for what I assume is probably either the purity relic, it's location, or the soul engineered messenger killing sword from the reaper trial
Corvid
2026-02-04 12:01:41 +0000 UTCat this point jason stop caring about how many got caught in the cross fire. It just another drop in the bucket. He acknowledge it and move on as the alternative would be worse.
joker ledger
2026-02-04 09:28:23 +0000 UTCactually the messenger getting the artifact isn't that bad, they would leave Pali and go play with it. That their sole purpose there after all. It would be a bigger problem if other Diamond ranks in Pali get it.
joker ledger
2026-02-04 09:26:56 +0000 UTCWe are fucking back! I have been dying for this convo. It had been denied from me for too long. Damn, I really like Knowledge too, but it seemed she had been hiding a dagger behind her all this time after all. Even though Jason finally think Pali gods aren't all that bad. It a funny switch that Dominion is likely the one Jason like better then Knowledge at this point.
joker ledger
2026-02-04 09:25:48 +0000 UTCWelcome back, Shirtaloon!
Wil Langford
2026-02-04 05:35:33 +0000 UTCHe didn't give Jason anything, he threatened the Unorthidoxy residing on Earth and as an extention, Earth as a target for the Orthodoxy's invasion.
Samuel Britt
2026-02-04 03:39:11 +0000 UTCI suspect what Jamis needs that for is to trade Thadwick for somethimg, which I'm sure most of us are assuming is the artifact of purity. In which case, Jason may have messed up very badly. More importantly, I'm glad you're feeling good enough to write and release new chapters. It's been a long time and has to have been harder on you than us. Here's hoping your health is and remains strong!
Samuel Britt
2026-02-04 03:37:40 +0000 UTCI’m really, really gonna need Jason to say to Thadwick “Why won’t you just DIE‽” and Thadwick saying “Not dying is kinda my thing.” Then Jason will be all “NOOOOOOOOO!”
Tartlet
2026-02-04 03:31:13 +0000 UTCWe're back baby!
Michael Romo
2026-02-04 02:19:50 +0000 UTCYeah, he just messed up very badly. I don't know how or when, but handing him that crystal is going to kill a lot of people. :-) Welcome back and TFTC!
Jules Deathwish
2026-02-04 01:19:55 +0000 UTCI'm absolutely delighted to see the new chapter, but I'm more happy about what it means. I truly wish you well and that your recovery is going well, bud. But otherwise, tyvmftc!!
Erik R Larsen
2026-02-04 00:29:34 +0000 UTCYou put into words what ive been trying to ponder my way towards for months. Well done, and an excellent theory
Jacob Herold
2026-02-03 23:19:26 +0000 UTCI’m delighted to have you back, author man! This was a fantastic restart chapter! But…I feel something’s were a little too vague? What is Jami’s giving Jason? I could be wrong and missed something …I guess I’ll have to wait and find out.
ABTelford
2026-02-03 22:00:30 +0000 UTCI’ve seen a few people theorized that knowledge is a foreshadowed villain. And I just wanna come to her defense. First, if anything I think it would be more likely she would simple be someone who has a differing goal to Jason than a true enemy, much like the phoenix is at times: a being whose goals sometimes align, and sometimes don’t. I think, in the case of knowledge, we can trust Jason’s assessment that knowledge would start acting in ways that are counter intuitive to his current objectives based off of her very good guesses of his usual modus operandi. She may be the goddess of knowledge, but she does act on her very good guesses even if she doesn’t tell anybody what she’s doing until those theories have culminated into a fact. In all likelihood, she would put in place some plan to stop Jason from save scum the universe that would have the unintentional consequence of also limiting his behavior to enact his actual plan. Given the amount of astral specialists messengers that have invaded palli (including one jamis and Boris) it’s reasonable to think knowledge created sort of text message ritual she gave her pilgrimaging priest to contact her through the astral connection between universes. As for the her in “her plans” I think that most likely refers to the Phoenix as we can assume there’s some larger goal for the balancing of the universes that the Phoenix may have outside of the bridge. The Phoenix only cares about universal/astral integrity not the people in those universes. It has been mentioned that it’s not typical for universes to run in the same time stream however Pali and earth do because the previous builder essentially made them two sides of the same. The bridge connects the two universes more directly, therefore stopping the derogation of magic between the two places. However, the Phoenix’s final plan might be to merge the two universes together, so they are no longer two sides of the same coin, but the same side of the same coin. essentially a “Pangea” on a mass apocalyptic scale, which would have millions of casualties. The surviving people of earth (and palli) would not only have to deal with the results of such a catastrophic astral event, but also with being thrust into the invasion of Palli. Also, such large scale terraforming would probably dig up the purity relic. Sorry if this was too long I’m just really excited about new chapters

2026-02-03 20:16:08 +0000 UTCThere might be someone in Interstice doing just that!
Lina P
2026-02-03 20:11:42 +0000 UTCI wonder though… Jason said “The Goddess” instead of “Knowledge”. He’s always called her by her name, so it is strange for him not to do so now. That being said, given his relationship with her it would make sense.
Lina P
2026-02-03 19:49:17 +0000 UTCWelcome back Shirt!! You’ve been sorely missed and it’s so great to have you back. Take good care of yourself, though. No need to over do anything. We’re just happy you’re in good health and getting better:)

Parijat Sharma
2026-02-03 18:55:22 +0000 UTCLots of folks are saying that, but I don’t think it makes sense. Energy vamps like Thadwick are a completely different thing from the actual vamps this research is for. Could be a more complex connection, I suppose, but it might also be something entirely different
Joanna
2026-02-03 18:13:58 +0000 UTCI think the first one might be an Australian-ism. Shirt uses that construction moderately often with various words

Aerlevsedi

ThatOneGuy
2026-02-03 04:40:52 +0000 UTCShirrrrttttt!!! Welcome home, my man!! And chapter 1,000 is special because it's your first after all the ordeal. That's enough! If Thadwick-or the thing inside his body-could be recruited, along with his community, that would be a helluva fighting force. We just don't have enough info on him yet.
MarineDebris
2026-02-03 04:05:55 +0000 UTCI knew it... it was always Knowledge the true enemy. Her constant tries to get Jason as her subject, and even flirting with him so she could seduce him into loving her. And Jason rebuffed it every time because he knew she wasn't being honest about what she wanted. She wants to be the God of 2 worlds and perhaps the only God of Earth. My guess is her Major plan at the end of the day is to become an Original like Jason. Only instead of Mortal to a confluence of God and Astral entity. From God and gaining a body and Astral presence. Probably by using that Purity artifact and Jason himself for her Apotheosis.

2026-02-03 03:08:33 +0000 UTCThank you for the chapter! It was definitely well worth the wait and I'm glad that you are healthy enough to continue the story.
Jacob Kraus
2026-02-03 02:48:29 +0000 UTCWell, well, well. Purging sunlight madness. That's an excellent development and better than a retcon for something that I'd found kind of disappointing. (Vermilion and friends - oh that's right, Craig? - Craig Vermilion and friends were fun. So the whole community getting wiped out by magically enforced magic except for the ones hiding on Jason's Batman themed moon was kinda sad). I'm glad that they'll be able to live in the world again. You know, carefully. Except for politics.
Stephanie Washburn
2026-02-03 02:32:54 +0000 UTCDo we know what Jason knows and is hiding from the goddess? Or is this to be revealed in later chapters?

Alicia Bolick
2026-02-03 02:19:09 +0000 UTCThis is a phenomenal 1K chapter! I greatly enjoy the enemy you’ve created with Jamis, he’s witty but also you can feel his underlying motivations coming through. Great writing and so happy you have you back Shirt!
Dillon Magee
2026-02-03 02:15:37 +0000 UTCOK, so the research was to cleanse Thadwick obviously. But does Jamis need the knife or the soul that Thadwick consume to become an energy vampire? Greenstone thadwick and energy vampire Thadwick are not the same due to the influence of the soul that was protecting the knife. Carlos’ research is about separating the extra taint from the original soul. The soul that was protecting the knife was somebody the builder knew back when he was mortal, and I wonder who it was

Allen Agor
2026-02-03 02:01:54 +0000 UTCMy thing with authors, and content creators in general, is that I hope they just do things they enjoy. There's a marked difference between content that is made doing something people genuinely enjoy and are excited about, versus even very practiced and skilled people that aren't as invested IMO. So great question! And I'm excited to find out the answer 😁

Kyle Jackson
2026-02-03 00:47:46 +0000 UTCThe avatar is also referred to as his prime avatar in chapter 999 and as a peripheral avatar in this chapter. I was under the impression you could only have one avatar outside of your domain and it was the prime avatar.

2026-02-03 00:38:29 +0000 UTCThat's the itch, oh goodness. Glad to have you back! I know you said 1k was 'just another chapter', but there really is something special about getting 1k as the trumpet of your return. Seriously, though, I'm glad you made it through. There's been too much loss over the past year. This is a great start to 2026.
Andrew Woodard
2026-02-03 00:37:07 +0000 UTCTypos: "staggering powerful" should be 'staggeringly powerful '. "Revealing the messenger on Earth" should probably be 'messengers' plural, unless Jason is deliberately avoiding revealing there's more than Boris in Earth (which is plausible). But given that Jamis just refered to the 'colony of unorthodoxy messengers' it would likely be an exercise in futility. Though he could technically try misdirection with 'there's just Boris', to avoid revealing that Jamis is correct, in case he was just fishing.

Just take very good care of yourself, okay? And if you ever need to skip a chapter or a week, or even more, for health reasons, there are a whole lot of us who will understand!
Ligeia
2026-02-02 23:28:36 +0000 UTCSo we know we have about 160-170 chapters left of Jason’s story. Do we want shirt to stay in this universe or move completely on for his next book series?

2026-02-02 23:24:56 +0000 UTCIt is nice to have you back, and here's to your continued recovery
Chris Morgan
2026-02-02 23:24:28 +0000 UTCI'm still trying to figure out how Knowledge can be the big baddie, or at least the opposition. I'm also curious why JFM wants the make-vampires-sane technique -- and why Jason didn't ask him exactly that!
Ligeia
2026-02-02 23:24:21 +0000 UTCThe first couple paragraphs conflict (overlap?) with the ending paragraphs of chapter 999. Basically, he showed up full (?) size and shrank down already, and put away his wings, then he's got his wings out and is 'diminutive', and it's commented on how he could grow bigger just after he shrank down. The opening comments are also different, but could be explained as Jason just ignoring what Jamis said at the end of 999. End of 999: "No dimensional vessel came flying in. When Jason granted permission for the astral king’s prime avatar to enter his realm, there was a brief distortion in space, and then he was there. He had no vessel, but his wings were extended out to either side. They were shades of mottled brown, limned in amber light. **He floated into the hangar, standing eleven feet tall. He shrank down to seven feet and his wings retracted and vanished.** “Interesting choice of companions,” he said, his gaze moving between Jali and Tera. “You freed both from bondage, one by force and one who yearned for it. It sends an interesting message.” " Start of 1000: “Jamis Fran Muskar was not the typical image of a messenger, despite the grandiosity **and the wings. At seven feet tall he was diminutive for his kind, and his clothes were not the loose, toga-style garb messengers favoured.** He wore a brown jacket over a dark green shirt, hiking boots and jeans. With **his wings** and shroud of amber light, he looked like an angel on a casual hike. Jason, Jali and Tera watched as he floated down and his feet settled on the metal deck of the vast hangar instead of hovering over the floor which was the messenger norm. Jamis allowed **his wings to shrink away**, and the light around him vanished as well. He stepped closer, highlighting how much Tera and Jali loomed over their king of kings. The least messenger-like thing about him was the absence of any display of dominance. **It was well within his power to expand his size and look his fellow messengers in the eye.** Instead, he looked up, fixing them with a curious gaze."

2026-02-02 23:21:03 +0000 UTCOh, this is the fix I’ve been craving, Jason and his very-well-funded fears of messing up big. Thanks for the chapter and seriously… welcome back.

2026-02-02 23:20:36 +0000 UTCJamis is such a fun antagonist. He's going to become Jason's best frenemy, not some mad scientist. And welcome back man!

2026-02-02 23:03:17 +0000 UTCI didn't read it that way, I saw it as preventing a situation like Knowledge's Army outposts (for the messenger invasion) that would have too many ripple on effects due to her ounce of prevention

2026-02-02 22:54:01 +0000 UTCHaven't finished the chapter yet, but reading it feels like meeting with an old friend you haven't seen in ages, and it feels like no time had passed at all. I believe that for you, Shirt, it has been a trip to hell and back, and we're all grateful for your safe return, but there is something about slipping back into the story and your writing style that is both pleasurable and relaxing. Glad you made it back. Cheers!

2026-02-02 22:27:33 +0000 UTCIts so funny to me when ppl jason meet immediately use his lines like "kind of his thing" just makes me imagine theyve been handed a dossier on how to handle Jason Asano by some assistant. Makes me giggle every time
