“That must have been cathartic,” the Sword Saint said after they had made some good distance between themselves and the northern arenas. “I take it no one is following us?” “Nobody, as far as I can tell. And yes, it felt damn good to finally tell that fucker off,” Jake wholeheartedly agreed, though he scratched his chin a bit embarrassed as he asked:. “But… eh… was that entire speech a bit overboard?” “Hm, it was adequate and communicated what had to be said,” the old man shook…-

The Nevermore Arenas. To Jake and the others in his party, these did not have much pull, but to others, they were a cornerstone of Nevermore City. They pulled in huge audiences and were somewhere geniuses from all over the multiverse gathered from C-grade to S-grade. It was a chance to show off their skills to others for a myriad of reasons, most of which revolved around recruitment. Faction-less Individuals could show off their power and potentially find party members to join them in their pursuit to…

Jake instantly understood how the list was full when he laid his eyes on the first wall, which displayed the top ten individuals of the ninety-third universe. 1. Holy Templar – Low Tier 2. Holy Knight – Low Tier 3. Holy Priestess – Low Tier 4. Holy Ranger – Low Tier 5. Holy Knight – Low Tier 6. Holy Mage – Low Tier 7. Holy Duelist – Low Tier 9. Holy Knight – Low Tier 10. Holy Templar – Low Tier They were all shit scores. For reference, there was no actual display of points;…

Every single universe in existence was filled with life, planets, stars, and incredible opportunities. Yet the thing it had more of than anything else was nothingness. Empty spaces that seemed infinitely large, so big that some S-grades would struggle to pass through it in their entire lifetimes. One of the largest empty spaces of all could be found within the second universe. And at its center, one could find it: Nevermore. A floating flat landmass that looked like a continent just sitting there in…

Back in the main hall, the festivities that were actually just a glorified political event continued. A number of people still held hope that they could join the Chosen of the Malefic Viper and his party for Nevermore, as they all knew what that would mean. It wasn’t out of the question for weaker individuals to effectively get carried through the mega-dungeon, thus earning a better title, more levels, and more items than if they had gone with equally skilled people. That was why those with supportive…

Jake felt how serious Viridia was, so he assumed this Nature’s Attendant was someone important just from her reaction. Viridia seemed taken aback for a moment but quickly gathered herself. ”So, special guest?” Jake asked. ”The one I told you about before,” the Viper smiled. ”Viridia seemed pretty freaked out about him.” ”As she should. This isn’t the kind of guest you can treat casually. And I will echo what she warned you about. However, rather than tell you to be respectful, I…

He had known from the very beginning he would be the primary target of anyone interested in joining Jake’s party. The reason for this was manifold. Firstly, he was the only other human in the group and an earthling like Jake, which unintuitively made him stand out. Miyamoto also had what most would perceive as the most replaceable role in the group, as he was simply a swordsman. The Fallen King was a Unique Lifeform, and the Sylphian Hawk was clearly closely tied to the Chosen and had unknown powers,…

While Jake and the Automata Legion had their discussion, Vesperia got the chance to have a talk with her fellow True Royal. Vesperia naturally took no offense to a sister of hers taking such liberty, and she found it only proper to show respect towards one of superior power and position to herself. They may both be True Royals, but the one before her was a leader of the Endless Empire. She felt that instantly. True Royals had inborn resistance to auras, the same as any other high-level talent. However,…

Jake appeared together with Villy inside a new, far smaller hall. A few seconds later, Vesperia also popped into existence. “I greet the Malefic One and my sire,” she bowed towards the snake god after she oriented herself. “Hey again,” Jake said with a smile. “Say, what have you been doing during this gift exchange?” “I simply went back to the waiting room,” Vesperia answered. “My presence would have caused undue issues if I had been there, and I would personally want to avoid it. This…

Why? Why had he done it? Jake briefly remembered some stupid ideas he had shown Felix, but… why? Why had that sculpture-loving moron thought this was a good idea? Should Jake have seen this coming? No… no, it was too late to consider any of these things. Now, all he could do was damage control as he stared at the monstrosity in front of him. The statue was nearly three meters tall and composed of three elements. Jake barely registered the awe, claps, and confusion of all those around him as they all…
