On reflection, Jake’s sense of time had truly gotten warped since after the system arrived. He had spent decades training with Sim-Jake, and while that had indeed felt like it had taken a while, it didn’t feel longer than a few weeks, tops. This was odd because the Tutorial was still clear in his mind, and if he was asked how long that had taken in comparison to that training session, he would have said the Tutorial was definitely longer. The same was true for the Treasure Hunt, which had been even…-

While Jake had thought about Vesperia coming to Earth, and it was even theorized she could, he hadn’t actually known it was possible before now. What’s more, Sandy had returned with her, making it a double-whammy of creatures he had partly helped “make” come to the planet. Right then, Jake saw a giant worm appear above his lodge through his sphere. He smiled and cut off Miranda: Hurrying up from his laboratory, he saw how Sandy struggled to find a good place to land without breaking anything. The…

”How the hell am I supposed to say hi to someone for you if you don’t tell me who…” Jake grumbled as the damn birdbrain didn’t make any sense at all. He genuinely had no idea who she was even talking about… it could be so many. Maybe another Primordial, seeing as Jake had met, like, half of them during Nevermore? Some Void God was also entirely possible… or maybe Artemis? It could even be that Wintermaul elemental, in case the one who’d blessed that guy was closely related to Stormild.…

Was Jake going to question why Minaga had a yellow hard hat, or how he even knew what a yellow hard hat was? No. Was he going to point out how absolutely ridiculous the Unique Lifeform looked with it on his head, as it clearly didn’t fit properly? Yes, of course, he was. Jake stayed at the construction site for a little while as the projection of Minaga in charge of construction just stood there, seemingly doing stuff behind the scenes. After a bit, it became clear that he couldn’t actually let anyone…

The phrasing of words is essential when communicating; everyone knows that. Jake was quite known for sometimes not thinking through what he was saying, but sometimes, he knew exactly what he said. Sometimes, it was just really fun to fuck with people a bit, especially when what you said was entirely truthful. Miranda had simply given him too good of a setup for Jake to miss the opportunity. It was just perfect. The reaction of Miranda was great as her eyes narrowed in confusion and disbelief… with the…

For the record, Jake had never opened any system menu related to him being a City Lord or the World Leader of his own volition. The only times he’d touched them was when Miranda asked for him to do something, and that something was more often than not just transferring rights and permissions. In Jake’s defense, he blamed the bad UI of the system. How was it his fault the system didn’t have an “allow all” button? At least these existed for some major categories, and shortly after Jake became the…

Time marched on, and even if Jake and the others had returned to Earth, not much had changed besides stability returning to a lot of factions. Arnold’s workshop was once again running non-stop – though, to be fair, it nearly already had during his absence, too – while factions such as the Court of Shadows finally had their Judge and a few elite members back. Funnily enough, the Court was one of the factions that suffered the most from this stability on the planet. They were, in the end, an…

Flying on the Sandy Express was definitely faster than riding the Jake Carriage, even if Sandy wasn’t in top form. After only about a day, they returned to Earth, where Sandy dropped off Jake at Skyggen before heading off to head back to the Order. Jake did end up asking how Sandy even traveled back and forth, as he usually had to use his connection to Villy when teleporting, and the answer was as obvious as it could be. The teleportation circle made by those snakes had just been altered a bit to allow…

As things in Nevermore were still fully ongoing, even after the initial batch of geniuses were done, the rest of the multiverse had fallen into a bit of a lull. Even if plans were still in motion, many factions focused on the mega-dungeon first and foremost, as there wasn’t much else to deal with. Yet, shortly after having barely gotten over the appearance of an extinct True Royal, the return of the Malefic Viper, and the Chosen of the newly returned Primordial becoming the new top record holder on the…

Jake’s mind went blank for a moment as the realization sunk in. Yet what he had expected to follow next never came. There was no anger or desire for revenge… just a belief that he had to get the fuck away from the moon as fast as humanly possible. Anything capable of killing Sandy wasn’t something Jake was confident in facing, and just feeling the aura from the thousands of vines extended up from the surface of the moon, Jake knew that this wasn’t just some weak low-tier B-grade. It was already…
