The five Challenge Dungeons were something many parties attending Nevermore delayed doing for a variety of reasons. Partly because they were naturally easier once you got stronger. Even in the ones where your stats were normalized or reduced, your conceptual comprehension should increase over the...

2023-11-16 11:51:47 +0000 UTC View PostTwo beings appeared in the living room the six gods were sitting and relaxing in, the atmosphere instantly changing with their entrance. Unsurprising, considering both of them were Primordials that one rarely saw in a room together.

2023-11-15 11:28:08 +0000 UTC View PostHaving an itch always sucked, especially when it was somewhere that was hard to reach, such as that particular spot on your back. However, Jake would argue that one of the worst places to have a serious itch was inside your damn eyeballs.

2023-11-14 11:48:06 +0000 UTC View PostJake got really lucky in story number twelve. In that one, he was so fortunate as to be a suspected mass murderer who was thrown into solitary confinement for potential crimes against humanity.
Now, Jake had to admit this story was kind of interesting. Jake had arrived after the suspected c...
2023-11-13 11:18:09 +0000 UTC View PostThe people in the room stared at Jake, who inhabited the body of the guard, seemingly wanting him to elaborate. Something he gladly did.
Whenever Jake took control and spoke, his body morphed into his own, but nobody around seemed to notice at all. That made things much easier as he shared ...

“If it had been a Transcendent skill, it would be far less concerning, but the fact it is a Bloodline is… hm,” the Wyrmgod muttered mostly to himself.

2023-11-08 11:38:55 +0000 UTC View PostHope was such a powerful feeling, but it was very much a double-edged sword… because the disappointment and sadness when hope was squashed truly sucked.
And for Jake, things very much sucked right now. He had still held onto hope that he would be healed after leaving the Challenge Dungeon...
2023-11-07 11:45:04 +0000 UTC View PostJake looked at the still-standing corpse of the Primordial as he tried to fully understand everything that had happened. Alright, that wasn’t entirely accurate… he knew what had happened; he remembered everything without any issues, but it all still felt oddly hazy. The same kind of hazy as h...
2023-11-06 11:48:45 +0000 UTC View PostJake had invited death nine times to learn about Valdemar and hopefully find a path to victory. He had done everything with the goal of somehow winning and defeating Valdemar, and in all honesty, he could see a scenario where he would have accepted his loss.
That is until he realized Valdem...
2023-11-03 11:49:04 +0000 UTC View PostJake was smart enough to know when he was outmatched, and despite all his boosts and the many injuries he had inflicted on Valdemar, he was still at a major disadvantage. The only reason he even had a shot was because of Valdemar’s fighting style being so damn straightforward and Jake having ha...
2023-11-02 11:51:13 +0000 UTC View PostDuring the first era, humans had been viewed as a weak race. Even weaker than the other enlightened races. They lived for a short time, especially at lower grades, and the only real thing anyone agreed they had going for them was their higher reproductive speeds. They didn’t have any good racia...
2023-11-01 11:15:20 +0000 UTC View PostTo use his own life and death as a mere resource in his preparations did feel odd to Jake, but in truth, he had no other choice. Valdemar was simply too overwhelmingly powerful for Jake to possibly defeat him in a single attempt, and Jake also suspected he was just a straight-up cheat, as while h...
2023-09-29 11:21:59 +0000 UTC View PostThree minutes and fourteen seconds.
That’s how long Jake lasted in the first fight against Valdemar before he found his skull crushed. Not even by an axe either, but from a fist smashing his head into the sand so hard his face caved in. Three minutes and change didn’t seem like a long t...

Jake thought he would have a chance to...
2023-09-26 10:44:15 +0000 UTC View Post”I told you it would be easy, didn’t I?” Artemis grinned as Jake entered her mansion. Without even thinking about it, he had just headed there by default when he thought about “going home.”

2023-09-25 10:30:39 +0000 UTC View PostOut of all the beings in the Colosseum that Jake was aware of, Umbra was the most powerful, at least on the outside. She was a true pinnacle being who stood side-by-side with the Primordials. Yet, despite knowing this, Jake never really felt any trepidations when he was about to face her.

2023-09-21 10:33:18 +0000 UTC View PostA question had been gnawing in the back of Jake’s mind for a while. One that had been further amplified by Sim-Jake whenever he first met him and made even worse as he rose through the grades and went through the many opponents in the Colosseum of Mortals:

2023-09-13 10:41:26 +0000 UTC View PostJake was arrogant; no two ways about it. But his arrogance was also always backed with a certain level of well-earned confidence and a powerful intuition.
