“You seem distracted,” Nature’s Attendant spoke as Jake knelt down and slowly infused the magic circle with his energy.
“Just a lot of jumbled thoughts rattling my mind these days,” Jake confessed with a sigh as he continued his energy infusion.
This time around, the god has...

Miranda took a moment to process the request as she shook her head. “You are aware that the moon is currently having a bit of a ghost problem.”
“I am indeed,” Nanna confirmed. “A B-grade is occupying it, to be exact.”
“Right,” Miranda nodded. “And a B-grade that I’...

As the gods were discussing the future of the very multiverse itself, one of the people at the center of it all was busy doing something far more important. At least from his perspective.
“Five of them,” Jake insisted, a severe look on his face.
“No!” the person he was doing b...

Artemis did not leave the domain of Yggdrasil with Jake. Instead, she was to stay behind and assist Nature’s Attendant in planting the seed that would one day turn into one part of Jake’s new bow.
Her staying behind also gave the goddess some courage to ask a question that had been both...

Jake wasn’t foolish enough to believe that he had timed his return from the Hunting Ground so well that he only needed to be back for a few days before the Primordial of Life reached out to him.
Instead, they had likely been waiting for his return to begin the next phase of whatever they ...

Artemis seemed to take Jake’s question very seriously as she frowned deeply. After a few seconds of consideration, she sighed and spoke. “I... have a bit of a confession. While I do keep beast companions, I only started doing so in higher grades, and I’ve never actually had to name, well, a...

It took a while for the Warpsnatcher to finally calm down enough that it was comfortable being alone. Artemis had definitely been right in that it could sense the power level of others, something that was really hammered home when the poor Warpsnatcher went outside and saw the giant Primordial tr...

Jake honestly felt a bit relieved when he saw it was “only” an S-grade with a Divine Blessing that had shown up. A part of him had feared Artemis would send some lower-ranked god, or worse, come on her own to provide assistance. If that had happened, the situation would have been a bit too mu...

“Do you intend to continue your hunt?” the Sovereign asked after a few seconds of silence.

Jake had entered this final stage of the fight with quite a few injuries, but so had the Chimera. In fact, between the two of them, the Chimera was definitely the worst off. While whatever Umbra had done had increased its overall power, she hadn’t healed the monster at all, and whatever poison ...

Assassinations weren’t just about killing a target. At least not for the Court of Shadows. It was the Path of their entire faction, and the Path of many of their members. However, just like it was a hunter’s Path to slay monsters, that didn’t mean the hunter could just kill any monst...
