So, Jake actually ran into a bit of a problem with his experimentation. Testing out the effectiveness of his poison and curse shouldn’t be that hard, right? Except who was Jake supposed to test it out on? The defenseless prisoners down in the cellar of the House of the Architect? Random beasts or low-level monsters in one of the worlds? No, all the options were shit, and not just because it would leave a bad taste in Jake’s mouth, but because he wanted to give Eternal Hunger something tasty. Something…-

Jake floated above the clouds nearly a hundred kilometers up in the air as he observed this battle as he tried to stop himself from face-palming. Below, Temlat held his usual dagger coated with curse energy as he yelled while attacking. His style was hyper-aggressive, which Jake was fine with, as long as the young man didn’t act like he had a Transcendent making him immortal like the Necromancer from the Colosseum of Mortals. Swinging his dagger, he released waves of dense curse energy that sought to…

Curse energy was a great tool for combat. However, when it came to using it to craft while doing alchemy, things were very different. The energy was actually pretty damn hard to store outside of your body, something Jake already knew and now had to find a way to work around. Jake had a talk with Casper back during Minaga’s City Floor, where the Risen shared that he primarily used wooden stakes due to innate concepts within the element. Wood was great at storing energy of different kinds, as trees in the…

So, Jake was used to quite a few reactions when he revealed he was the Chosen of the Malefic Viper. Most reacted with fear, confusion, and then some level of reverence and respect. The majority of the time, it was not toward Jake but toward what he represented. However, when it came to poor Temlat, he never got further than the fear stage. He froze entirely as his face went white, and he stared at Jake with wide-open eyes. His mouth opened and closed a few times as if he tried to say some words but failed…

Jake had been to enough medieval worlds already, so he found the second mission quite boring. The letter delivery did allow him to explore quite a few places, but nothing really caught his eye. Level-wise, there was a good spread, ranging all the way from F-grade to around level 240 in C-grade. Race-wise, the diversity was even better, as Jake saw pretty much everything one could imagine. All the way from goblins to high elves lived in the medieval world, with many races having their own small kingdoms.…

Jake felt pretty good about having one submission down, with only nine more to go. His written plans were already entirely off just from him deciding to submit a damn conversation as a Creation, but Jake didn’t regret it at all. In fact, he believed it was a great move. He wasn’t blind to his own uniqueness, and he got the feeling being unique counted even more than the attendant let on, but this wasn’t the only reason he submitted the encounter. While Jake had gone over the things that mattered for…

Throughout Nevermore, Jake had encountered quite a few gods. He had been recorded both visually and in far other ways by the dungeon and system as he made his way through the floors and Challenge Dungeons. However, despite this, he still felt like much about him still wasn’t shared. As if the system put up certain barriers of information not even the Wyrmgod could see. Others had suspicions and theories, but they didn’t know. Minaga’s lack of fully knowing how Jake overcame his labyrinth was prime…

Jake closely read the system message regarding the Challenge Dungeon, and outside of the thought that he really hoped he could level up in there, he had a few more opinions. However, overall, it wasn’t that bad. Firstly, it was actually pretty straightforward, if still incredibly broad. Sure, there was some confusion about how exactly these evaluations would work, but compared to that horrible hellhole of confusion known as the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon, you had something truly unique in this…

“While we cannot tell you what to do, sister, we can at the very least advise you… and I cannot help but question your decision,” the Dragonfly True Royal said as she looked at Vesperia. “You still have time to reconsider.” Vesperia looked at her sister and sighed. “I feel like this would be best for me.” Odonestra also sighed as she shook her head. “It is a risk you do not need to take. The Endless Empire can provide you all the protection you need. Our resources surpass what any other…

A hooded young man walked through the busy streets, sticking with all the civilians who made sure to stay out of the way of the patrolling soldiers who occupied the middle of the road. They all invited respect, yet fear from everyone. It was not necessarily due to their own power but what they represented. Who they represented. The orange skin of these people made them easily discernable from humans, even if there were many similarities. Many had tattoos that marked their caste and origin, too, many of…
