Thanks For The Chapter! And that was actually pretty smart of Jake to keep mum about his profession.

Namorat

"Even if there were creatures capable of creation potion-like products" - creating?

TyranT-Rex

Man, I can't believe we are already on chapter 1300.

Misa

Namorat

"That was also why Villy had such a time initially learning how to craft potions." - hard or tough time?

Ben Cox

Cinaeda

nice teaser introduction! I'm intrigued. great Friday chapter.

Namorat

"His position at the top of the list of people to watch out for during the upcoming event." - ... was justified?

Kokrow

dont think so, think its supposed to be combat assistants, given that theyre expecting it to be in some way combat related, so they want the eastbound monk to have the best chance at winning, and they're sending Eron in with another team as well to increase their chances of coming out on top.

It's strange someone like the East bound munk is so good at combat as he seems to have no passion for it.

brjenness

I find it hard to get excited about meeting the eastbound monk. Hopefully zog makes him something different from the stereotypical monk types both good and bad.

Ithoughtofsomething

"His position at the top of the list of people to watch out for during the upcoming event." Something missing?

Xander

TFTC :) Have a great weekend all :) Suggested edits: "creatures capable of *creation* potion-like products" should be "creating" "Shaman nodded *and awed* for a" maybe "in awe"? current phrasing is weird. "While few *doubted* the B-grades would " from context this should be "believed" "His position at the top of the list of people to watch out for during the upcoming event ** . " feels like missing words at the end here "well earned"

Elena ZL.

Glad to see that this time Jake has at least thought first before acting :').

brjenness

One of the stereotypical monk types. Train hard, but not want to hurt others. I doubt zog will make a cookie cutter monk a major player in the story. Where is "let us meet again" monk girl at right now?

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

kiewitz

"While few doubted the B-grades *would* actually gain full control over a World Wonder" would->wouldn't

Skryser

Tftc and congratulations for reaching thirteen hundred chapters 👍😁

DirePants

So curious as to where Zog is going to take us with Venus. Destroy all the undead? Use Origin Energy to teraform the planet? Does Venus play a role in the upcoming event? I can kind of see Jake having a whole poisonous minor world under his banner. What other kind of monsters live there? Lizards? Snakes? Fish? Oh my 🫢😂 oh and does time flow the same? What he leaves and comes back but hundreds of years have passed? lol idk 🤷🏾‍♂️ I like wondering what’s next ✌🏾 see you all next week!

Bluejay

Eastbound monk or east-horizon-bound monk? Thanks for the chapter.

Michael Ferguson

Live long and I wish you prosperity 🙏

rapatel01

Eastbound monk seems like a first sage reincarnation or something similar

brjenness

snow days are great for writing and posting a few extra chapters. muhahaha!!! their is no limit to my selfishness. unless you spend 10 hours walking in said snow. iykyk

Jeroen Turkstra

The time flow has been mostly debunked in one of the previous chapters establishing that the minor world existed before integrating. However there is still a possibility for some time flow changes because it wasn’t specified exactly how long ago, in Venusian time, the integration took place.

Lay Nkay

Hmm a new enemy

KevB

People keep thinking they're going to be the ones to take down Jake and they just keep getting slapped down

NovaZero

Doomfoot of the Boundless Horizon. Jake does on accident and for fun what the East-bound monk does as a full path.

joel southard

Thank you for the chapter

djthomp

Alright, so frog alchemy will be a question for later. It does make sense that Venus is a bit too toxic for the ingredients you would need for potions, I wonder if the Order has recipes to work around that or if they'll need imports from outside. The Eastbound Monk at last! I *think* it's new information that he's associated with the Daolords but also not particularly surprising. I like him already, he's not particularly fond of conflict but he agrees that Cheeto needed to die.

Vega

I reckon these Venusians are ideal initiates for the Order of the Malefic Viper!

B B

Is he the monk from the colosseum?

Brian Griffith

Jake seems proud of bis position of best diplomat to ever visit Venus. He is the only diplomat to ever visit though.

Patryk

Nope, he's the guy from the newest nevermore leaderboards, also his galaxy was second to finish slaying primas (he killed all)

RonGAR

I wonder why Vesperia is on this list... Honestly, I've never seen a battle where she participated that she absolutely 'dominated, or was 'crucial' to success, or even played a critical role. Sure there was the 'clean up' after the Prima event/ after Jake killed El'haken. But thats about it... IF this were DBZ during the CELL SAGA, she would be the equivalent of 'Krillin, Yamcha, or Tien. LOL She doesn't even get to be Piccolo. LOLOL

Gracie

tftc. so proud of baby girl Jake, he learned how to think 2 steps ahead.

Corvid

Genuinely excited at the prospect of the dao sects coming into the open more. They don't get a lot of appearances, but every time one shows up from them the character is mysterious and cool. Still waiting for the rainbowfeather sovereign or whatever it was called to appear in monk robes given its incredible insight into karma and the ways of action through inaction though.

That one, right there.

Since Jake can use his blood as a catalyst with Maleficent blood, could they use system fuckery and the legacy skills to make poison based potions for their race using their blood.

Peter Smith

Bud, I don't think you've been actually reading the story then. She is one of the few individuals that Villy is certain will reach godhood. And seeing as to how that list basically is a total of 3 people... That says a lot.

Patty O’Cartnoy

Easy. Jake just stands to the West. The Eastbound Monk cannot move in his direction. Checkmate

Fylbrom

This could be interesting since we know very little about the Dao Sect as a whole and what their goals are. If I remember correctly this will likely be the first time the Sect has made a move this big in the history of the multiverse. For them to make those moves, from Eron's pov, based on the eastbound monk beating all of those powerhouses then he must have quite the bloodline/transcendence. I do hope we get more chapters including the Monk before he actually starts clashing with them though, his character seems a bit hollow as of now. Hopefully he gets fleshed out in the coming chapters! Great brain food Zog!

Ty Cooper

Tftc. With Nevermore it seems that the Dao Sect would be more aiming to build a relationship with. Guess World Wonders rule all that stuff out.

Samuel Nelson

Can't say I know. Had to work through it all. Starting my days off with a chapter makes it easier to deal.

Raymond Whitehead

Im assuming Jake remembered not to toss over a Malefic health potion.

Colin

This is the same logic we use to combat West Nile Virus; we can’t get it on the east side. 🧠

Colin

1300 chapters!!! Wooo! Fucking love this series!

HDHusky

I'm hoping we get a rival type character for Jake. Someone like Eastbound Monk seems like a good fit. Almost the opposite in personality. Would be interesting if a long term rivalry would happen. Jake needs opposition that can keep up with him.

Seen Death

They just dont know theyre just the side characters in jakes stories haha

Seen Death

I think thats mostly the meditation mindset at work FS was wiping out void gods in C grade... nobody can ever really compare to him, even 50+ eras later... he basically is the system at this point for all we know

Daniel Bonin

I think the sword saint will be a friendly rivalry. But he needs a new arch nemesis..... but that needs to be developed over time

Seen Death

Yeah haha I mean my brain is working 1000x slower than his but id have just blurted out i made them instantly Because its such a crazy position to be in

Bookreader97

Correct me if I’m wrong but Jake is an Uncle right? Like his brother has kids? I’m not sure exactly how long the story has been going but it has to be at least 10 years. Shouldn’t they have gotten their classes? Really want to know if they have some special skill and/or bloodline. Also what’s his brother up to for the system event? I imagine assassins will be a big part of it.

Jeroen Turkstra

His brother don’t have the bloodline. Jake is a bloodline patriarch. But yeah I’m also interested in the nephew and what profession and class he went for.

CocoaBleu

Plot twist… The minor world that Jake just casually stumbled upon is the world treasure that is supposed to be won from the Prima event. the event is over, the winner goes in and there is already the beginning stages of an Order site there and the natives are like: “Are you all from Jake’s world?”

Episode 19

Suggestion: change up "That was also why Villy *had such a time* initially learning how to craft potions" doesnt feel right for some reason congrats on 1300, tyftc

Mrburns93

These poor venusians are going to enter into the multiverse with an incredibly warped sense of what a human is. Base humans are going to come as a shock i bet. As it stands they still dont even know what humans look like. Theyre going to think humans are scaled beastkin with yellow eyes and wings with a wooden face. Not the fleshy things we actually are

Sushi

I could go for some comedically timed young masters, face slapping, and, dare I say, death courting

Devlin

I've been so engrossed with the Venus story that I completely forgot there was a system event coming up! Praying that Jake isn't late. TYFTC and happy 1300!

Rewdan

Thanks Zogarth, it’s been a fantastic weeks reading. I hope you have a great weekend and I look forward to Mondays post.

Matthew Monroe

When are Jake's parents going to meet villy and friends and his elf lady goddess...need me a funny montage side story 😆

PWeygandt

Im thinking the Easbound Monk might be the next in line to be the Chosen of the Daofather or something. Also, im not sure why, but with the rise of concepts and the idea of enlightenment being brought up so much more, I am betting he has Sacred skills and possibly is also connected to Sunrise/Horizons/chasing the sun or something

Steven L

What if the monk is like cheeto? Pretend to be good but actually evil. He might have a skill that Jake hates similar to cheeto.

Bob Fight

I feel like everyone’s forgetting Jake hasn’t gone all out since valdemar he didn’t trigger his bloodline in any of his fights since in other words the last time he did it he was essentially a level 0 e grade so I imagine there would be quite a boast

Zizawah

He won’t be late because he expects the system to teleport him to the seat. That’s why he wasn’t too worried about getting stuck in a minor world if things go wrong and the gate closes.

Eden

Feel like conceptually eastbound monk seems slightly similar to event horizon.

khielira

Oh my that would be pretty funny. It would also be funny if they are very little affected by the tyranny of grade ranks. Like the they notice it but are not affected by it. Caleb made a mental comment on a memory that their parents n Never seem to be affected by Jake's bloodline but they were also bathed in the bloodline effects from the very start. I can see Jake parents unintentionally embarrassing him on multiple fronts, with Artemis saying something like that they are glad Jake meet a nice girl and Villy not to be a bad influence and lead Jake stray

Xien

Future fast friends???? Duhn duhn duhn duhhhhhh!

Josie

Eron, you traitor. Go shave & shine your traitor head. And no more mustache for you!

Jeryd Greer

I’m excited to see what the coming of Ashitaka after enlightenment looks like.

Jeryd Greer

I assume He is Eastbound to return after the Journey to the West. If so, dope reference.

blucube 14

Thanks for the chapter!

brjenness

eron pure chaotic neutral. does what suits his needs and desires. zog can do anything with him.

Salientmind

Not necessarily. I think it's notable the guy in charge is like "maybe we can work it out."

ABTelford

I love the potions discussion! It’s great to see Jake being smart and cautious instead of bombastic. Nice to remember he actually is intelligent and not just a dumb brute of a fighter like Valhal fighters tend to be. No, he’s the Malefic Vipers Chosen for good reason. 😎

Koby

I feel like it would be a cool nod to Jake’s mythical weapons if the Venusians commented on th e absurd auras of them

Nate R

Random thought but anyone think Villy’s going to eventually get Jake to use Primeval Energy on his dead wife and kid to try to bring them back? Primeval Energy brings something back to its origin, and thinking about when he used it on his Palette skill it got me thinking about this. Probably way too far fetched but it does sound like a Malefic Viper thing to do. It also may end up with the Jake vs Villy fight if it goes wrong/Jake refuses!(Way in the future of course)

Drexnaw

Nah 1. feelsa very wht the new cult is trying. 2 Villy knnows their souls aare gon, 3 It would en their relatiionship for sure. $ i dont think primeval energy can briung back the fully dewad

WESTON FRENCH

I now want a fight between the Eastbound Monk and the Sword Saint far more than a fight between him and Jake. It might be the most polite bloodbath to ever happen.

Dylan Hilliard

I could see him joining Jake's crew of friends. Seems like a chill guy. Possibly there to teach him or for Jake to teach him something. Definitely many paths it could take.

ZanSanCho

Tftc Zog!

Borbino the great

That would be so nice and we know exactly how a fight between him and Jake would end so against the sword saint would be really interesting

Tavis Andrews

[Bad Predictions]. Jake advances multiple levels while in the minor world, he see this as business as usual but everyone on his return for the system event has only gained a couple. He’s excited that this will give him advantage as an administrator but finds diplomacy is the main medium for the competition in this system event. He painstakingly becomes better at politics Then he meets the Eastbound Monk… who shows him how far he has to go. As the Monk displays the most powerful Diplomatic Skill, a forbidden technique that Jake has even used before. The Eastbound Monk responds to Jakes opening argument with an approach even his bloodline doesn’t see coming….. He kicks the Doomfoot in the face.

Borbino the great

I wonder if they can feel the aura of the weapons or if it’s just like added in to Jake’s?

JW Saxby

Tftc 🍻

DefinitelyNotMinaga

YES!! DAO SECT ARC OR INTRO PLEASEEEEE!! TTwTT this is a great set up how the hell do you do it ZOG ??? I swear cliffhangers probably feed him divinity or faith energy in some way. TYFTC Keep on keepin on and take care of yourself.

Almer Reyhan

Would be sick as hell if Jake went full bloodline overdrive like his fight with valdemar

Dao of Fried Foods

Not saying you're wrong, but, to clarify, universal wisdom says that a level per decade is a good speed, 3-4 is incredible, and much more than that is basically impossible-jake gaining 6 upon level up aside. He's already halfway to his decade quota.

DeAndrea H

This is the lesson Nevermore was TRYING to teach him but he was able to cheese through! 😂

Phil Ritter

I was about to say how nice it is of him to not make any Cliffhangers this week. Tbh introductions to potential rivals don’t count in my book. It’s not like there will be much action with them anytime soon

brjenness

Lots of potential directions to go with the blank character sheet of Eastie. At first I wasn't interested in seeing a stereotypical selfless monk or the DoTF style of trickster monk weaving webs of karma to ensnare their benefactors. However, there are lots of fun ways for the malefic author to take this. Eastie could join Jake's loose alliance of op elites and be an understated thorn in Jake's side constantly badgering him about his character flaws. He could be a competitor relishing in battle and always seeking to improve himself that gains great respect for Jake and the saint. He could be a complete lunatic playing the role of the selfless monk. We could have a dynamic where Jake takes joy in annoying the monk as they compete. My wildcard guess is the sword saint rises to be Jake's primary competition for the top spot and we get another epic spar. Possibly with a follow up ambush from the other prime candidates seeking to take control of the wonder while jake and ss are recovering from their battle. That would get squished by Goldie and birdie backed up by an army of high level frogs that appear out of nowhere.

Josie

I'd like for them to be frenemies. They'd have a beer together, but Eastie's "orders from the top" mean they gotta slug it out after. Bc yeah I think the Dao sect's involved with the kidnappers so there's gonna be conflict eventually even without a system Event

Josie

That would be our sweet lil guard snake on duty. Villy doesn't want anyone else studying his precious Chosen too closely and ended it before the info could leave Primordial 4 🐍

Carson Montgomery

How do I get access to the discord now that I subscribed to the patreon?

brjenness

I had to do it on my computer. the videos and pics I found had menu options that were not showing up on my phone. I had made the mistake of adding discord front royal road. guess I should have started with, when you subscribe to patreon they send an email link.

brjenness

the area the gate of enlightenment was in was described as being both everywhere and nowhere. it would be funny if on a trip to the gate, jasper popped out in front of jake and then guiltily hide something behind his back followed by Sandie appearing and saying, " jake, how did you get here? Who is this? I have a little brother?"

ABTelford

The gate of enlightenment is conceptual and within the soul where not even gods can follow, so that’s not gonna happen. Too bad because it would be funny. Lol

Gizmodeus

So when is jake gonna receive... i dont know villys present of records from yip of yore? Major world wonder event around the corner and it still hasnt happened? It was suppose to happen as soon as pallette was fixed? Seems like its forgotten/major oversight at this point especially with the emphasis on how important this world wonder is

Michael Fannon

So any bets if the east bond monk is also from Earth?

Yaldabaoth

Damn, im caught up Keep up the awesome work 😄

Alessandra Girotto

so... when will Jake remember the notes Eron left?!

Chloe

Tyftc

Secret Weapons

My bet is he's somehow a reincarnation of the First Sage, though he has no clue.

Jacob Kraus

Nice! We finally get our first glimpse of the Eastbound Monk. As always, TYFTC!

Parker Bond

1300 chapters! Congrats!

Parker Bond

I'm confused by this: "...but if it does, who else would you expect to face people like the Cerulean Demon Prince,..." Is he asking who he might be facing? Or stating that the Cerulean Demon Prince is in his party? Either way I think it needs some rewording.

Rachel Clements

I would be vastly amused if the 'minor world' ended up being the 'world wonder'.
