Yay!

C0bra$

Thank u for the story

Arrogant Savant

I would like a confirmation if running is still on the table lol

Tyler Krogh

Love this arc! I wish the chapters were longer!

Misa

Tftc

Phoenixdrop

Welp this is certainly a rock and a hard place situation

Karim Saadi

I want jake to just tell em off, and disappear :D "I'll be back later, byeeee"

EmmericH.

Time to see the big snake 🐍

Mitha

This feels like having divorced parents who hate each other and using their kid as the focal point of their feud. Poor Jake in the middle.

David

See now, this is the type of cliffhanger I enjoy! It leaves my thirst satisfied, but still kinda craving one more swig. Loving the arc! And my prediction is definitely that he says "actually, I wanna go visit the big danger noodle!"

TyranT-Rex

Or option 3 go and see the Great Sea Serpent

Rahsheem Reid

If the system pops up and Jake leaves these two factions, I wouldn’t be surprised to see these two factions go in all out war and when Jake gets back they are all weaker then him when he eventually finishes the Prima system event. Speaking of the Prima event. I think it would be super cool if the rewards are something stupid for Jake like an upgrade to his bloodline that would make his Aura/arcane affinity could reach past his current grade with out Villys infused aura. Over all im excited and thank u for the chapter!

djthomp

Definitely need a third option. Visiting the snakes sounds like fun but how to talk both the frogs and the spiders into allowing it? Though maybe big snake is dangerous enough that it being involved by way of the other snakes already leaving to let it know will provide the opening.

Rewdan

Thanks Zogarth I appreciate your work and the way you always have cliffhangers on a Friday.

Christophe H.

And why not use the nomads to discover all the minor world? A far better way I guess.

Rewdan

I’m sure Jake is going to ask about the sea serpent

Rewdan
>>203645011

I’m sure that’s what Jake is going to ask for.

Xander

TFTC :) There were no comments when I started writing this but I dont do that "first" thing. Have a great weekend all :) see you Monday Suggested edits: " strategy was to pin ** Jake being here in the Nest on the Venusians. Which, technically, they were." missing words "the responsibility for" otherwise the next sentence doesnt make sense grammatically. "able to stay *without* their territory for" should be "within" "We don’t, but let’s act *as we did*" should be "as if we do"

Dao of Fried Foods

I have already made plans to visit the great sea serpent...

Kjell
>>203644678

The only logical option there is. Piss of both sides

Michele Della Mea

Definly time to go meet the snake instead

Collector of Stories

Cue giant A-grade snake coming to the rescue 😂. Though it’s to bad he already used invocation now would of been a real good time to show them power behind him

David Vieira
>>203644968

Despite his massive amount of stats compared with other B grades, Jake is still way way far away from A grade. I would put it at 500 chapters or so.

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter! This felt very short. Was it because I was enjoying it, or was it actually short??? I’ll do a word count later. ;) Jake’s answer has to be that he wants to meet the giant snake, right? That, or he wants to find something to kill.

Gracie

tftc! sea snake time 🐉

Loststar7

Thanks for the chapter. Loving this interaction. Jake the diplomat, surely this won’t all go pear shaped.

Michael Fannon

See, this is where Jake agrees to take a group out near the end of his tim limit. That way he gets safely moved to the system event and won't have to deal with these A-grades. Will this come back to bite him in the ass? Well, that is future Jake's problem.

Rob Lyon
>>203645719

That's definitely what I see him saying. Actually I have an invitation to go meet the The great sea serpent so that's where I'll be going

ZanSanCho

Tftc Zog!

Jelani Willock

god it would be so funny if either the system event went off right now, or he just activated his wings and dipped tf outta the world

CT

Serpent coming to the scene and dropping "I greet the chosen" would be peak

ZMVPJ

He is probably gonna ask to meet the snake

Tomer Yud

oh man a cliffhanger! for a whole weekend no less! :(

Fdrugc

Tftc SNAKE!!!

kandiana
>>203647378

They don't know about gods so they can't know all the chosen stuff.

Noah Mclelland

Jake should just ask which general direction is the snake, and then use wings to go there instead.

AfroMocha

Stuck in the middle with you. Will be stuck in my head all day now lol

butterfly

He wants to go to the snake

Brian Schwab
>>203647328

I think he has said earlier that he still had weeks or months until the system event starts for him though.

Bobo

Ty

Zizawah
>>203650301

I really wish we could refrain from such comments. It’s rude and not helpful to the author. And Zogarth is one of the best in weaving the story just right with every chapter. This was a necessary step for a diplomatic situation.

John Durrett

tyftc. I"m all aboard the snake train with others, like a rainbow in the dark.

Josie

Select option Sea!

Vega

Jake having yet another hot girl moment, everyone wants him. I wonder which universe this Minor World is from? It’s not the 93rd Universe is it, since they seem to have had access to the System prior to the 93rd Universe’s integration? Has it been said?

CallHimDan

Ah yes, cliffhanger Friday. Almost forgot. Thanks for a fun week.

Aaron Hardin

Option 3, continue exploring the minor world for new things.

Thatguycant
>>203651589

I think the current theory based on the history of the venusians is that it came to be in the 92nd era but was disconnected from the rest of the multiverse so probably considered 92nd natives technically.

Artemis1700

Tyftc! The ending of this chapter is so interesting but I feel the answer is easy. More exploration of the world to see more and do hunting.

Joe Foreman

Take option 3 and ask to go with the nomads

GuyManGuy

Time to run off to the Nomads

Brian Griffith
>>203645046

I think thats more a consequence of more chapters than not being cliffhangers than any deliberate plan. I would say that every chapter since the one were we ended with him staying behind to meet the undead could quality.

beeve

He wants to meet the snake

Sylphie

Ree!

zran
>>203655076

yes, let's hope the sea snake comes in the meeting

ABTelford

I’m imagining his answer with him feeling a little pissed and yet still quite cautious:…. “I’m not ok with being a traded around like a natural treasure. What I want is to explore some more, hunt some strong prey, then go back home. But neither of you will let me do that, will you? So let’s cut the bullshizz. I have a proposal…”

NinjaDad

When this side arc started I was a bit disappointed and wanted to get into the event, but this is fun. And I cannot wait to see these factions hit the multiverse. Spiders in the Risen, Snakes at the Order, Frogs at the Pantheon, and who knows what the Bog Lords and other groups we haven’t met will do. Lots of potential for the story. Love the world building!

Beemoss

Tftc

Daniel

I think avoiding the “everyone is your friend” pitfall would be fun. It grows tiring to read, when everyone wants to be friends with Jake.

brjenness

It is not possible to leave with the nomads... Sssssounds reasonable to me. a deep voice hisses from behind.

joel southard

Thank you for the chapter

Comeback Kid

I used to read a lot of choose your own adventure books as a kid, that cliffhanger felt right at home there. I almost expected to have a choice of which page to choose 😂.

Tristin S Alderson

Thank you for not giving me too bad of a cliffhanger for my birthday

Daymond Walford

“Imma go hang out with the snakes guys… y’all are too thirsty.”

BuhDussy

The A grade serpent is about to bust in and cause a commotion. Hopefully.

Steven L

Sea snake will come to the rescue and jake will bring peace by bringing B grades out during the system event.

UNKNOWN

The (smaller) Big Snake will be here to save Jake.

Tessa King
>>203646629

Well now, that is my thought as well. But he can take some folks with him can't he?

Morazain

This feels like a Mummy, and Daddy fights with little Jake being asked who he wanted to live with.

brjenness

before jake leaves I want one of the cultures to have recently had their most prized possession stolen by a strange furry creature.

GloinJr
>>203664378

From experience, that's exactly what it feels like lol. And even if he says he wants to live with his dad, his dad's gonna be upset that he took too long to decided and that he had to drive all the way out to mom's house, and his mom's gonna be upset that she wasn't picked. Whole lose lose situation.

InfernoDroid

Take the 3rd option. Go visit the big snake

Muckster

Cannot wait to see Jake try to upgrade evolve that great sea serpent

Jimbo

He's got snakes to visit on snake business. The easy button here is to say his boss is a snake and if he doesn't visit snakes it will be rude. Because it would be rude.

Jimbo
>>203654742

He really needs to. It would be rude, given Villy and all, to just blow off those snakes.

Staudi

Tyftc zog

Nathaniel France

“Real talk both of y’all are sorta cramping my style, so imma go kick it with a big ole snake cuz they’ve got good track records.”

Kevin Watson

Snakulear option is always open

BumAssBumAss

There are several things Jake can do to medate the situation. I see no reason to Jake to deny any resident to the outer world so he can just establish a neutral ground for all denizens to use. He can also just say he doesn't think they can escape yet, whether it's to the wider universe or 93rd universe. Jake doesn't really have the political skills step forward it seems, but I'm curious what he is going to do.

Lemonsqueezy

I think Jake should just leave altogether. Just say "I fell like you two need to sort this shit out, I am going to leave and will come back again later". Then not come back until he reaches A-Grade or has A-Grade backup. Villy already stated that Jake cannot bring anyone in this minor world out yet. So maybe he can tell them that, they probably won't believe him but he could try. The only other option is to just delay until he is warped out by the system for the SoTEP event, or pretend he is going to take someone out by making his teleportation circle and just leaving without them back to the Order. My best guess is the Seasnake A-Grade is going to show up and Jake is going to leave with him.

Kourtney Viles

If I was him I would say I want to go visit the snake, since they aren't putting me on the spot. I wonder if in the next chapter the the snake that he wants to meet will show up?

Lemonsqueezy
>>203644668

That is what I would do. I would just fuck off and come back when I made A-Grade. I would set up the teleportation circle to the Order then move out. Villy already said the people of the minor world cannot use it. Just lie and say it could and then skip town for a couple centuries. Come back as an A-Grade with several A-Grade friends and handle business.

DirePants

It’s sucks to be the pretty girl at the dance lol

beeve
>>203671400

Nah he just said he can’t teleport them to the order until the leave the boundary first.. and they prob can’t leave the boundary unless the are low b grade or whatever restrictions are in place by the system. I doubt they have tried to have b grades leave so that’s what Jake needs to do

Cody

Have all of the heads of the tribes meet together and then tell them they’re stuck until the system fuckery is dealt with 🤣

Quinn

Joint venture minor world for a lot of the big factions. The frogs share similarities with Carmen and Valhal. The spiderdeath boys click up with Casper and the risen. And slither snake posing cult gets a whole poison minor world with a prime hunting ground

jord

"Neither, there's this cool sea snake I want to meet "

The Ravenger

The correct answer is wanting to go see the giant snake.

Josie

spider called the battle toad "Slayer of the Sea" and they're both in a hurry to wrap this up before anyone else shows up.. I wonder if our Sea Serpent has beef with either of these 2 👀

brjenness
>>203670078

before jake releases them he should have a long talk with them. Just outside the boundary is my galaxy. you will behave yourself or my witch will call down a rain of humans that will insult your scales before blowing up in your face. and also warn them about pissing off other factions and offer to facilitate introductions.

Fleetpanda

My guess is he’ll offer to take B grade representatives out. He can take them out, bring them over to the Order, and let them get a real picture of the outside to report back to the leaders.

Dominic Smallwood

Calling it now, the sea serpents gonna show up, aura farm and take jake with him because they have a lot to talk about lmao

brjenness

new theory on who was training in the dungeon. nephew and sister in law.

brjenness
>>203714457

every single person in here said snakes coming... zog will think of something else just to be cheeky. at least, that is what I would do.

brjenness

last guess tonight. jake will soon meet monkeys on this planet. since the frogs were somewhat posh English in mannerisms, the monkeys will be Scottish or irish.

Josie
>>203720669

nooo we know what jake does to monkeys !! :(

Baged
>>203691272

I think the toads are more closely aligned with the beastfolk. The toads leave to join the beasts, while the spiders side with the undead. The remaining nomadic tribes stay under Willy’s protection.

Michael

ok my guess: either the big snake guy shows up and Jake joins him and gives him a blessing, or Jake just tells them A grades can't leave, but negotiates some deal where he would take a weak B grade from each faction to the order.

mucky 12

Jake is about to feel like a kid stuck between two hostile parents with a split custody agreement lol

Phil Ritter

Okay everyone is already guessing snake guy showing up but what would happen if Jake really handed out a blessing? Would that be a second scarlet situation with the big powerful snake meekly greeting the chosen? That would be one way to establish just how powerful the outside really is

AfroMocha

Alright so Jake is pretty much untouchable as without him they have no way out. If they kill him they need to fear retaliation from the outside forces they know nothing of other than it far exceeds and eclipses their understanding of power. Now if it was me I’d let villy possess me and tell them how fucked they are while flaring my presence and aura; but Jake is not me. And he needs to learn something from this trip. Something tells me Jake will is some asinine way will broker a peace of all Five and bring them into the fold of the Order. With the exception of the undead Spiders things. Otherwise due to what he showed the Snakes and what the spiders know. When Jake leaves for the event the other inhabitants could wipe out the snake folk in fear they will be favoured by Jake’s backer. I think Jake vanishing will end up causing a huge issue.

brjenness

hey, fanfic time...patreons are going forward in time to save Z.O. Garth's dungeon and life long friend. we'll be training in a dungeon based on zoggy's story. who wants to come and what skills will you have made by the time you reach c grade?

Josie
>>203767668

hmmm... mmm.. i will ask the malefic question: why is this friend worth saving?

Lemonsqueezy
>>203707541

Villy stated in the last chapter that once any member leaves the minor world the barrier will drop. He also stated that he doesn't believe anyone can leave the minor world yet. I am assuming this is system fuckery to keep Earth safe until A-Grade is reached and they can protect themselves.

brjenness

Was thinking about sea snake turning out to be a prima Donna pain in the ass Karen who throws a fit when Jake blesses a different snake, but won't bless him. Two thoughts later... maybe skill gotten from blessing is key to crossing boundary. Hold up...Jake brings villy out of seclusion. Jake might bring first sage back in some form eventually. Villy's blessing is the key to getting through the boundary. All a bit too convenient. Makes a curious mind say, "uhhhh...wtf?" What is the purpose of Jake? Who is pulling the strings? What is the endgame? Who is trying to snap/unsnap their fingers? Why is Gomorrah?

beeve
>>203887727

Idk I feel like is more simple.. they just need to try low level b grades now. Highly doubt they have tried that in the past 30 years or so (or however many it’s been since b grades can come).

beeve

Is there somewhere we can actually talk about things in a group instead of messaging? Discord is only messages

beeve
>>203907486

Like a live discussion as if we are in a raid

Dylan Hilliard
>>203763230

Interesting theory. It's possible. But with Villy's blessing, I doubt it. Once the A grade gets the blessing, I am sure things with shift. It's more likely they will notice the massive boon of power and want a blessing from villy or try to get one from the Blight father or appropriate god

Shadovvnight

Hope he tells them he has agreed to meet the snake nomads next.

Jason Hardman

I'm expecting the barrier will have the same restrictions as for those entering from the other universes. So low B grades can exit, although can't recall what the level limits would be. Also think he's likely to say that he wants to visit the scalefolk next. Neatly avoids giving preference to either faction, while actually being something he's truly interested in.

JW Saxby

Time to go visit the great sea serpent lol 😂 Tftc 🍻

Ricky Keenum

I’m gonna be honest. This chapter and probably the next 3 are illegal and you should be arrested for writing these ones with cliff hangars like this -.- usually I’d just go away for a week but I wanna see how he does ittyyttttt

Powers

The bullshittery is strong with this one.
