Jake had been so damn distracted by everything else going on that he hadn’t even noticed Eversmile before he was right there. Sure, he had seen the figure approach, but his aura had been entirely hidden, and with so many other notable presences filling the hall, he had managed to blend in long ...
2024-03-28 14:02:26 +0000 UTC View PostJake took a second to process what the hell the elemental had just said, and before he could even do that, he felt bloodlust radiate from behind him. This shook Jake back to reality as his own aura also unconsciously leaked, joining that of three others.
Carmen had been the first to stare d...
2024-03-27 11:57:30 +0000 UTC View PostJake hadn’t met many demons throughout his time in the multiverse. Even if they were a widespread and diverse race, he just hadn’t really run into many of them outside of the occasional enemy here and there. Outside of dungeons, Irin was the only one he really knew, and she was practically an...
2024-03-26 12:08:37 +0000 UTC View PostIf Jake was being perfectly honest, he had hoped to just quickly bail and get out of Nevermore City as soon as it was convenient. He would first want to visit the Order and check everything was good there before making his way back to Earth, where he was certain quite a few changes had also taken...
2024-03-25 11:54:52 +0000 UTC View PostVilastromoz just leaned back and smiled, still within the streaming room that was now just showing the Nevermore City square and all of Minaga’s antics. Well, one of Minaga’s clones anyway, as the god was also still in the room with a god clone.

2024-03-22 12:01:34 +0000 UTC View PostNobody liked being interrupted while having a good time, and Jake was no different. He had just been chilling with his Puzzle Box when suddenly he felt the space around him shift, and he was thrown out of the space inside the box. For a brief moment, he saw his surroundings before the entire time...
2024-03-21 12:31:54 +0000 UTC View PostLights danced in the sky as the music kept playing while the All-God Legion, better known as Minaga, walked down a pair of invisible stairs right above the two blank Leaderboards. He easily got the attention of everyone, and Viridia had to admit he was perhaps the best creature in the multiverse ...
2024-03-20 12:11:35 +0000 UTC View PostOne by one, Jake and his party members entered their respective time chambers. They went in the order they had decided, so the Fallen King would finish first, then Sylphie, the Sword Saint, Dina, and finally, Jake would be the last one to appear back in Nevermore City as his fifty years expired.<...
2024-03-19 11:59:36 +0000 UTC View PostTo a C-grade, while fifty years wasn’t considered a very long time, it was definitely still a significant part of their lives, especially for those from the new universe, who were all very young by multiversal standards. For many, it was even a majority of their lives, truly highlighting the pu...
2024-03-18 12:01:50 +0000 UTC View PostJake stared toward the sky as the spinning sphere of wind had stopped in its tracks. The ogre’s eyes opened wide as his clenching hand began to glow even brighter than before, but he couldn’t close it any more, no matter how hard he tried. Instead, the opposite happened.
The Twinhead Em...
2024-03-15 12:03:16 +0000 UTC View PostJake and his party were faced with a choice… run away and drag things out until the Twinhead Emperor’s empowered state ended, or try and fight back while buying time. Directly confronting the boss was definitely not advised, something they were all in agreement with. Jake usually wasn’t a f...
2024-03-14 12:01:26 +0000 UTC View PostHow many phases and different abilities can a single event boss have?
The Twinhead Emperor’s answer to that was apparently just a “yes,” as he always had more to show off. From what Jake and the others had gathered, the Twinhead Emperor primarily had the warrior move the body while th...
2024-03-13 11:56:00 +0000 UTC View PostFrom the very first moment Jake laid eyes on the ritual circle, he knew there was no way the Twinhead Emperor would be capable of absorbing all the energy contained in the bone spheres. Each sphere held the death energy and curse energy of hundreds, if not over a thousand, dead C-grades alone. Th...
2024-03-12 11:59:32 +0000 UTC View PostThe power of every being’s soul varied widely. Levels were far from everything when it came to determining their fragility or susceptibility to manipulation, even if it was a factor. The Fallen King had encountered beings well into the 300s with incredibly malleable souls who fell to the slight...
2024-03-11 11:51:05 +0000 UTC View PostJake deserved a goddamn award for his performance as the mysterious yet powerful Lord of Hunger. Ah, not those awards given for good acting, but those reserved for extremely shitty performances because hot damn had Jake felt embarrassed while saying his lines.
He could at least partly excus...
2024-03-08 12:03:44 +0000 UTC View PostJake stood back along with the three others as they allowed the Sword Saint to do his thing. More than seventy combatants remained, and despite being on opposing sides, they had teamed up to face this one swordsman. Nevertheless, the outcome was clear.
Rain fell from the sky, every droplet ...
2024-03-07 12:01:43 +0000 UTC View PostSo, there were a few things to address.
First of all, the second Twin Emperor turned out to be quite a bit different from the first one. Rather than carrying around a staff and wearing robes, he had on durable metal armor and carried around a massive two-handed sword on his back at all time...
2024-03-06 12:02:46 +0000 UTC View PostFor the longest time, Jake had found Sylphie’s version of stealth very endearing and silly while also naturally being utterly useless. She believed that by simply making a giant tornado and hiding within it, no one would notice anything was amiss and just ignore it. She thought the same when it...
2024-03-05 11:41:38 +0000 UTC View PostWar…
War never changes…
Except for when a group of five extremely powerful beings decide to just fuck shit up. In cases like that, war would very much change, and not for the better. At least not for those already involved in the war.

2024-03-04 11:43:59 +0000 UTC View PostJake and company appeared on what would more likely than not be the final floor of Nevermore. Their spawning location was on top of a large ruined tower, giving them a clear view of the surrounding area. However, before Jake had a good chance to look around, he noticed the mana in the air and how...
2024-03-01 11:41:28 +0000 UTC View PostJake had no idea how many of the damn imps he had killed before they stopped coming. The demon captains who had once led the army of small-winged casters had long been slain, but that didn’t mean the swarm didn’t prove a challenge simply due to their sheer numbers.
His body was covered ...
2024-02-29 11:42:49 +0000 UTC View PostTime passed swiftly within Nevermore as the final sprint to complete as many floors as possible to rake up all the points possible continued. The gods naturally got more active as they monitored all the important groups as the end gradually approached. As of the final ten years, there had been ap...

2024-02-27 11:53:16 +0000 UTC View PostIt didn’t take long before they used the access code to finish off the seventy-first floor, having done so quite a lot faster than floor seventy. Also, while it was true these floors were quite a lot bigger than those before, everyone in the party had also gotten quite a bit faster, and when fi...
2024-02-26 11:55:34 +0000 UTC View PostJake sat atop a pile of metal as he quickly deciphered the magical seal on the cube he had looted from the dead Tower Guardian lying destroyed beneath him. As he got the cube open, he quickly checked its contents and nodded.

2024-02-22 11:46:47 +0000 UTC View PostIt ended up only taking two weeks more before the whole gang was back together.

2024-02-21 12:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostTo be strong… was something that truly didn’t matter in the world before the system. One could be the best swordsman in the world or the best martial artist, but the difference between the bottom and the top was never that significant. Even the greatest fighter would lose against a few averag...
2024-02-20 11:46:31 +0000 UTC View PostJake still felt extreme confusion when he thought about the First Sage. All Jake really knew was that he was a man from the first universe who died in C-grade while also being the teacher of Villy. Well, and the fact he had apparently been so ridiculously talented it beggared belief, and that he ...
2024-02-19 11:52:36 +0000 UTC View PostPerhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise, but having the strongest people all leave their planets for Nevermore at roughly the same time could cause some… troubles, especially for those who had usually ruled with an iron fist. In the absence of a tyrant, a tyrannical rule could easily collapse...
