Thank u for the story

noooooooo. cliffhangerrrrrr. TFTC

Lucky Luke

1) “Such details are not openly shared. Perhaps the Venusians *or* Arachnecs *know*, but as a solitary creature, I have no historical records or inherited knowledge to rely on.” 2) The power gap was simply too *large/big*, and while Jake had a lot of Primeval Origin Energy, he would run out if he tried to make up for lack of quality with quantity.

Beemoss

Bonktrauma

Poor sea snake, he is going to be terrified infront of villy

Stormy

Tftc!!

Michael Fannon

No giant Friday cliff! Yay!!!

Bluejay

Thanks for the chapter

Posiden 300

Why do you do this to me!!!! Next chapter i hope is twice as long

Michael Fannon

Please, oh great and mighty Zogarth, please let Monday's chapter be at least partially the meeting of the 2 snakes.

Mitha

Now I have a whole weekend to ponder if we will witness the conversation between this serpent and Villy.

Strato Junon

"Perhaps the Venusians are Arachnecs now" should be "Perhaps the Venusians and Arachnecs know"

Rick Delallata

Oh, please tell me that we'll be able to see the conversation between Villy and the new snake. Also, Jake seems to forget that most others can't even imagine saying no to a god of any caliber

Toni

I love big snek

Sayjinlord

Thanks for the chapter!

Sammot

Tftc!

Sayjinlord

I wonder if it would be a Greater or Divine Blessing?

Samuel Nelson

Awesome chapter, and cliffhanger! TYFTC.

Matthew Smith

Alright here's the deal, I'll give you a greater blessing for helping out my stupid little chosen, but I'll give you a chance you have it upgraded to a divine blessing if you eat that fuck ass frog too.

Cory S.

TFTC

Ian Hartman

I absolutely love this story Jake is such a bad Ass but also so humble like he knows he would be slaughtered in an instant but he is just the most blunt MF in the multiverse

Ashley McMullen

Tftf I dont mean this in a creepy way but i had a thought. Zog has to be either an amazing or infuriating lover. Hes extremely good at teasing and dragging it out without losing interest. He gives just enough to keep going but when the payoff finally comes it always lands with perfect timing

djthomp

An evolution quest to just leave is refreshingly straightforward as far as high grade requirements go, though maybe the rest of it is the vague BS that we're starting to see with Jake's requirements even for B-grade. Big snake meet-up in progress.

Xander

TFTC :) Enjoy your weekend everyone :) Suggested edits: "*Faint* echoes of what I *faintly* believed to" repetitive phrasing. Perhaps the echoes could be "distant" or "vague" or "pale" or maybe ditch the "faintly" "Jake was related to *his* god." from context this should be "this", right? "if the Miresnakes returned *on time* from the" since there was no deadline for the miresnakes to return this doesnt make sense here. Perhaps "swiftly" instead. "The power gap was simply too *low*, " i was expecting "high" here

Vega

Please write the next chapter as Villy and the snake interacting! The Blessing meeting scenes are always so fun to read, and it would be interesting to see how Villy interacts when Blessing someone who isn’t Jake.

Michael

give him a divine blessing! The snek seems smart and malefic enough. Maybe Jake, Snake and Villy can figure out how to build a portal to the order

Kristopher Hanson

Maaan yo dragged the blessing out till Friday for a cliffhanger.. DAMN YOU ZOG!! 💜

itsdlow

I think we’ll be welcoming another Villy fan boy next week xD

UNKNOWN

The big snake is meeting the biggest snake.

Vega

Interesting that Scarlett seemed to know Villy as a Forefather due to her heritage as a snake before getting an explanation from Jake, but this snake seemed to not have a clue about who Villy is. I guess it might be due to Records being somewhat restricted in this Minor World?

Matthew Monroe

Heh called the power of dreams lol. Also, I'd kinda feel disappointed if big sea snek becomes all weird after his meet up with villy.... kinda understand where the gods come from in that respect....

oibe

Does anyone else feel like there will be a condition or problem with this blessing?

Frosgods

I wonder if meeting God in his realm or wherever they meet counts as leaving minor realm

Matthew Monroe
>>205136055

Yeah, they feel the familiar aspect though. Could also be just named differently.

David

Would leaving in vision form count for his quest?

zran
>>205133872

who isn't? jake is simply a weirdo who makes those around himself weirdos as well

AfroMocha

Just realized that Jake could have blessed the other a grades to get his point across. If one of them had met the viper they would have never tried to force the soul contract on him.

Vega
>>205135444

It’s definitely going to be one of the bigger ones! Considering the smaller Blessings don’t seem to include a meeting with Villy

Michael mann

I really want to see this blessing from Big Ol’ Snek’s perspective. Because I can just picture Villy being dramatic. Jake saw the Dragon form, but I think Villy will manifest as a snake coiled around a galaxy. Just to flex

joker ledger
>>205136253

He could but i doubt villy would be onboard as the arachne is more risen and shaman is life focus path. Not mentioning the lich

brjenness
>>205136167

Interesting. Next question is would Jake bless those that better align with other gods or tell them to wait a few months? Followed by how much benefit Jake receives from giving blessing?

Matt

You always leave us with the with worst (or maybe best)cliff hangers on fridays smh

brjenness
>>205136098

Anything possible with zog at the helm. To infinity and beyond!

Sylphie

Villy's parting words to Bigsnek, "don't let Jake name you Snekie."

Thanks for the chappy

Ale_Gi

ABTelford

Big snake is scary smart! And now meeting god snake who is even scarier smarter! Woohoo! Love the chapter man! Thanks! A couple typos but I figure you’ll catch them in an edit.

ABTelford
>>205136121

Nope. Jake and Casper and Jacob did so during the tutorial where no direct interference was supposed to be allowed so a vision-visit with the Viper god is totally doable in a minor world where the restrictions are lesser.

BumAssBumAss

I expect a greater blessing instead of a divine one. Sure, a snake a step below a unique lifeform is worthy of a divine one, but Villy would probably want to give something for the sea serpent to work to.

Morazain

Until Monday, I say this as the name Villy, now talking with Big A.

ABTelford
>>205137235

No I don’t think Villy can share food or drinks during their visit. No, not even those super tasty snacks you enjoyed so much at the Order.

ABTelford
>>205136777

That would be awesome. I’d also like a peek into the meeting.

Abhishek

What is wrong with this guy. His obsession with cliffs

Abriel Blauer

Perhaps the Venusians are Arachnecs now --> Perhaps the Venusians and Arachnecs know

Loststar7

Happy Friday everyone and thanks Zog for the ever anticipated torture.

AfroMocha

If you looked up “cock tease” you find the description with an image of Zog lol tftc

Gabe Stankiewicz

I KNEW IT. Hell yeah I’m so glad the big snake is a bro now. I bet he doesn’t have a name so now Jake gets to make up a new name for the big snake 🐍 thank you for the chapter!!!

E

So much exposition in the middle of dialogue lol maybe it’s always been like that but I’ve really felt it this past month or so. Feel like a ton of exposition after every other sentence

Léon Geide

New Snake Buddy? 🐍 😉

Gracie

tftc 🐉🐍

Almer Reyhan

Took us a whole week to get to this point :((((

Christophe H.
>>205135312

Oh yeah a blessing chapter is coming! And maybe a way to make teleporters to some other factions: risen and a frog god?

Alejandro Piña

So, did Jake forget what the Viper did to William? He did the exact same thing, gave him a dream pretty much telling him where Jake was gonna be during the Tutorial

Christian Almanza

I hate Zogarth, every Friday is the same, always letting me wanting more of the story and having to wait the whole weekend 🤣🤣🤣

Lemonsqueezy

Even more predictions and questions answered not only from me but I expect many others. Also, not too bad of a cliffhanger this week. We are only waiting for how the Serpent reacts to the blessing, which blessing it gets, and what effect the blessing has on the guy. Oh we also have to think about the fact that after he gets the blessing, is he immediately going to get the knowledge of who Jake is? The sudden realization that Jake is to be revered, and suddenly becomes his unquestionable boss. This could definitely change how the serpent feels about those A-Grades that tried to hurt/kill Jake.

Ryan Buck

I hope we get to see the interaction between Villy and the sea serpent

Kyle
>>205143282

It would be funny if the snake then became subservient to jake (who would hate it ) or even acted in retaliation to the lich for suggesting the contract, but hopefully he just helps jake cultivate the natural toxins somehow

DeAndrea H
>>205142922

That would require him to spend even a passing moment thinking about William, which Jake does not do.

ABTelford
>>205139517

Yea me too - too much exposition interrupting the dialogue. Really slows it all down interminably

Episode 19

Mister Snake, meet The Big Snake Dude tyftc

Lynderyn
>>205144067

I hope Jake uses astral projection again to take part in the conversation

Lynderyn

The cliff I had hoped for would be the Viper and Blightfather arguing over who gets to be the first to bless a creature from this world

Vega
>>205135941

Also would be interesting to know why this snake is still a snake, and didn’t decide to go with a dragon evolution path

Ra

Dang. The thought of Jake using primeval origin energy on the Sea Serpent's evolution hadn't even crossed my mind. That would be wild if it were true though.

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter! Seriously, are these chapters getting shorter, or am I just enjoying them even more?

CT

I really hope we get to see some of the convo between big snake and biggest snake.

TheMinuteRice

Villy is the giant snake that makes all of da rules

SinCinnamon

I want to witness the meeting! Please Zog! Pretty please!!!! More Villy!!!

Corvid

"Nah, I'd never do that! Unless... I'm joking, I definitely haven't been thinking of making you into a snack! Though I bet it would be a good one... If it were somebody else, because I wouldn't dream of doing it to you!" -Great Sea Serpent.

Bmanzoo

I wonder if getting a blessing from a god is another why for them to leave the boundary. It hint at him going to speak with the viper even if it’s just his soul going is technically leaving the boundary and going to the viper’s realm. Or maybe the blessings can act as a one way ticket to the order through a ritual.

IntenseSushi

Tftc just let me binge ugh

John Durrett

tyftc. Yessssss. Up front time with Villy on the scene means instant Gob smacked. I know who's going to be a very good boy on his return. :)

Lemonsqueezy
>>205149156

Hmm, interesting theory. I can definitely see the Serpents soul being able to leave but not the body. The system is pretty strict with its rules. Except for Jake, whose bloodline tends to tell the system to fuck off. As for if the soul leaving means the body could then do so, well that might be an interesting loophole in the requirement if it is true. However, the system definitely wouldn't allow the serpent to remain in the 93rd due to level and grade restrictions what would still be in place, or if it ever leaves the 93rd it might not be able to return.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205148117

I can definitely see it happening. Might even get a POV of the the serpent.

Anthony

Would a blessing allow it to leave with jake via ritual? I mean, to go to the Order directly

Lemonsqueezy
>>205145659

Blight Father is probably unaware of the minor world. There may have been a change in that when the Aracnecs left the boundary, but I think the BlightFather would have to be actively observing the area and probably through one of his members which there are none around. Just like how Villy was unaware of its existence until Jake arrived.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205144211

This one is actually very mild compared to others. Most of at least my questions and assumptions have been answered. I got a lot of them correct but several wrong.

Nathaniel France

Of course every story has crests and valleys of qualities, even the best authors in the world can’t deny that reality. Saying that, man, I’m genuinely surprised how good the Venus arc has been, the pacing has felt excellent with interesting story beats we haven’t gotten in a long time we people who aren’t naturally cowed by Jake’s title. Just really been digging it.

Kevin Watson
>>205151410

i don’t think so, i believe the ritual is reliant on the bond of Chosen and Patron, but i could be remembering incorrectly.

Kevin Watson

i have a weird feeling Monday’s chapter is gonna start with Miranda, tftc

joel southard

Thank you for the chapter

Lemonsqueezy
>>205138092

I cannot remember, but are there limits of the amount of people that can have each blessing? I do know that the higher the blessing the more it takes out of the god that is doing the blessing. It would really depend on how much Villy values this creature compared to the rest of the multiverse. It is all about what the god can get out of those he blesses. Things like their potential to advance, how likely they are to die, and what achievements they can get to boost the god. If the serpent won't be able to leave Venus for a few thousand more years giving him a divine blessing wouldn't provide a lot of benefit. It would make more sense, to me, for the serpent to get a lower blessing and for it to be upgraded later one when the serpent is finally able to leave the minor world. That would give Villy some experience when it reaches S-Grade because he isn't going to get anything until that point since the serpent is already at peak A-Grade.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205137136

I don't think this one is that bad. We got a lot of our questions and assumptions answered during the last two chapters.

Summer Coff

I think my favorite thing about how you've characterized the Great Sea Serpent is just how fast it is. Everything it does, including eating Jake, happens at mind-boggling speed, and it does that so casually that it almost feels like it isn't aware people can't follow its movements. Doubtless a very calculated choice of affect.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205136062

The biggest realization is going to come when the serpent gets all of the knowledge of who Jake is and how he should be treated. Going from being the strongest being he knows of and starring at this weak B-Grade, to suddenly becoming a weakling and Jake becoming his boss.

Mat

Something is not making sense with the mirror world. Last time Jake met a unknown snake(Scarlet), it already knew of the fore-father of all snakes. How can it is not true here given that this serpent is higher grade? System fuckery

Bookreader97
>>205147223

I was kind of expecting the sea serpent to have an egg or something that Jake could use the primeval energy on. Then he could have a snake pet

Bookreader97

Really hopes jake brings the shamon in training and the arch weaver to the upcoming trial. I feel like him having teammates that are new to the multiverse would make him way more badass in the eyes of everyone else. Also they wouldn't know if Jake had a hand in making them or not

Eden

Aww, look at the big baby

Rewdan

Dumfuckery is actually a word I’ve never heard before but man is it going to get used

Bookreader97
>>205158807

This way he can also be team poison and we can finally see some of the other ways poison and toxicity can be used in combat

Fylbrom

I really hope Big Snake Bossman doesn't all of the sudden become Uber submissive to Jake after meeting Villy. Maybe return a bit shell-shocked but I like their current dynamic. Either way im sure I'll end up happy in the end. :)

Rhysal

I would like to see a snake POV on meeting Villy.

Rewdan

Cheers Zogarth an absolute banger of a week, thank you

Peter Smith
>>205159211

Im imagining him coming back and asking jake to treat him like an older brother. Also if he gets named, i need his name to be "Ernest", as proof to the rewards of being "Ernest" in your dealings.

Jip

How funny would it be if villy had the flamingo suit on for meeting the sea snake lmao

JW Saxby

Fantastic chapter this. Didn’t feel like a cliffhanger but gods damn it did I want it to keep going straight on through to the entire interaction between the GSS and Villy 😄 feels like the serpent would kinda also be a good buddy with the viper 😁👍🏼 Tftc 🍻

Jip

Yall remember when Miranda first bitched out jake for befriending stupidly strong monsters wherever he went and then complained about starting a snake fanclub in the mangrove? This gonna be the same thing but with a whole minor world of snakes. She gonna be so pissed.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205165119

Are we all officially in agreement to just call it GSS? Because just saying serpent or typing it all out is getting tiresome.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205165538

Oh yeah she is going to be quite frustrated when she hears about all of this.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205164099

Oh that would be perfect. To meet what is essentially your god/creator and see it looking ridiculous in a flamingo suit.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205153482

Status quo when it comes to a peak A-Grade vs a newly evolved B-Grade. It wont be nearly as fast when Jake gets to the same level.

Josie

Serpent gets a weekend at Villy's. Lucky snake lol

jord
>>205158923

Wait till you learn about monkeyshines, Rapscallionary, and Nugacity

Lemonsqueezy
>>205135210

Very straight forward, but it was also impossible (and still might be) until Jake arrived. I take it purely as a way for the System to keep the 93rd in balance until it fully opens up to the multiverse. To prevent this minor world from being a place full of peak S-Grades that would be suddenly released into our Solar System with no clue what they are getting into.

Josie

Serpent seeing Jake for the first time: if not snack, why snack shaped? 🤔😋

Jeff McCulley

Hmmmm….okay, either Villy is going to have the GSS tell Jake to set up a teleporter, and he’ll port BOTH of them to the Order (skipping past the 93rd universe requirements”… ..or… GSS’s first wirds will be, “Hey teach me Alchemy! Please, please, please? Pretty please? Wait, first I have to learn that polymorph thing? I need hands?!!”

Rob Lyon
>>205185291

I think the Viper may give it a divine blessing or some very high level blessing and that might be enough to push it to s grade because it getting pulled into the viper's divine realm to get its blessing may count as leaving the barrier. Well at least part of it's soul shape left

Deborah

Correction: "Perhaps the Venusians are Arachnecs now" I think it was to be know.

Bruno D. Alvim

I hope next chapter shows the audience with Villy in the Serpent's pov

Kuniku778

Villy is one of the best written characters, one thing that is hard to write well is someone smart. Zog if you see this well done man. Villy feels larger than life and just as smart.

ZanSanCho

Tftc Zog! Have a good weekend

Kaladin

I'm not sure if Jake will ever be able to kill anything more than one grade above him and even then it'll be when he's on the boarder between grades.

Phil Ritter
>>205236632

I think things become a lot more gray once he reaches Godhood. Remember Yip was able to kill 2 godkings directly after ascending so I believe Grade will matter less later on. Aeon also killed a bunch of S-Grades during B-Grade clearly showing that given the right circumstances it is still possible. Not to mention the FS able to stay gods during C-Grade but he is on another level all together. Not sure if Jake would be able to repeat such a feat since his skills are quite straight forward and not comparable with time magic/ transcendences which are hard to counter without the right tools. I don’t see any skills Jake has right now able to bridge the Gap since just straight up power has little chance to matter with such a massive stat difference

Phil Ritter

Is it just me or does this chapter feel like a blatant filler chapter to insure we end on a cliff. My man was just thinking in circles

brjenness

someone is having a bad influence on other authors. the last dotf chapter on RR ended with the question "so, Ultom. would you like to know more?" he probably took March off to add cliffhangers.

brjenness
>>205210731

writing smart people is easy. Just think of what I would do and have them do the opposite

Lemonsqueezy
>>205249367

Did DoTF get better after i think book 11, which is when I stopped reading it? It started to get really drawn out with exposition once the forced battle thing happened when the MC split into two people.

Lemonsqueezy
>>205239228

A little of that, a little reflection on his mistakes. Zog trying to find a reasonable part to end for the week. Zog was really busy with his move and said we might not have even gotten days with a chapter. So I am expecting that that might have had a little to do with it.

brjenness

Monday opening: unconscious Guss Bigsnek returns making Jake wonder why villy poisoned him. flashback: villy greets bigsnek and asks, "have you ever tried beer?"

brjenness

does the wiki contain a list of the most malefic cliffhangers? i'd like to see a comparison between what we thought were the worst and what zog felt was the best.

brjenness

Who here has forgotten that Jacob took control of the Andromeda galaxy? go ahead. raise your hands.

Nebula

I think that these minor worlds have the same restrictions as the beast restrictions in the 93rd. Scarlet was not able to visit Haven until Jake, as the strongest person on earth, had reached the grade of the beast himself and was chosen as the official world leader. After the seat of the exalted prima event ends and he is officially leader of the galaxy, he will be able, with the help of the administrators, to grant the minor world access to the 93rd. In the meantime, he can take who he wants to the order with Villy's permission.

brjenness

trivia: where does sultan currently reside? hint: he's a huge fan of tequila and the 5 o clock two cheeseburger special at the buffet owned by a friend of his named Jimmy.

Michael

Jake hasn’t gotten any levels in a while!

Ronan B
>>205319917

Granting a blessing to the apex creature of a minor world; and one so perfectly aligned to his patron, will probably net a couple right?

Brodle720

Now that I’m finally caught up I have to wait like everyone else. So sad

Lemonsqueezy
>>205336319

Went through that a couple years ago, I got so into the story that I kept wanting more. Now I pay $10/mo to get cucked with a cliffhanger every Friday.

brjenness

Since we jumped forward, the posts will be later for a week or two until parts of Europe leap forward? If I'm remembering correctly.

brjenness

Why haven't we came up with any theories that Jake's parents aren't humans. They could be refugees from a failed system. God's that when seeking shelter in the void from the calamity befalling their system, stumbled upon earth. Perhaps that is why they haven't been concerned with leveling because they knew their natural level was higher.

DrDankness

You know what? In cool with the fact he Jake fucked up and had to get bailed out. He is a baby B grade and needed a reminder that bullshittery only gets you so far. Villey being aware enough to pull an assist AFTER he learns the lesson is good for him long term and also gives him a chance to bestow a blessing on a promising new allie.

Carl Never

The cliff of the vampire smut poem that could be coming up any day now.

Jason Connors
>>205361838

I had a theory that there is a universe 0. A beta universe were the system didnt have any rules and it was even more of a cluster then the 1st. I though maybe jakes bloodline came from this universe since it could be considered the 'primal' universe, which would explain why Jakes bloodline is so powerful.

Michael Fannon

A reminder that if you in the US, we sprung forward. Fucking time change means things will be an hour later.

brjenness

We need to figure out a way to mess up zog's sleep schedule again. Those 4am chapters were nice.

brjenness
>>205420663

Okay, I've found a marching band that will play for one hour for $500 per day. Anybody want to chip in, search on gofundme for zogwakeup. They also offered to bring dancing monkeys but I quickly told them that wasn't a good idea.

AfroMocha

I wake up at 7 I make my coffee I come and sit and expect to read my Jake and Snake are up to and nothing… my coffee is now cold

Well it was the holy church who had a strong presence in the galaxy to begin with.

Zachary Trafton

I’m really looking forward to the moment the people of the minor world realize how much they almost fucked themselves…. Or still are
