Jake felt like he had wished for a bow for years, even if it had only been like a week. He had felt naked using a shitty bow, not sure what would happen if he got into a big fight. So when the system offered a bow, he was both relieved and ecstatic.Now the only question was… would the bow be good?The answer? Fuck yeah, it was.[Bow of the Apex Hunter (Legendary)] – A bow offered directly by the system due to Earth’s performance during the Treasure Hunt event. This is a bow for an apex hunter who only seeks to challenge worthy foes and effortlessly strikes down those inferior that dare impede his quest. Increases damage done against foes dependent on level disparity—both lower and higher—up to a certain threshold. This effect is based on Perception. The bow is incredibly durable and will adapt to energy infused into it, beginning to take on its properties and empowering attacks using the adapted energy. Enchantments: Apex Hunter.Requirements: Soulbound.He had already placed his bid

Jake had not heard much of the time god known as Aeon Clok… only some basic stuff from conversations with Villy and some casual reading. Out of all the Primordials Jake had heard of, he seemed like the hardest one to pin down and understand. He kind of got most of the others.They had religions, empires, orders, or domains they controlled. The Wyrmgod had Nevermore, Yggdrasil was a massive fucking tree dominating an entire region of a universe, the Starseizing Titan an even more massive entity that liked smithing and being big. All of them were public, besides two. Well, it used to be three, but Jake had kind of dragged Villy into the spotlight again. Also, while Stormild did not have a faction, per se, the living catastrophe still controlled a large domain and had many elementals following her.The two hidden ones were the dear Eversmile, who Jake honestly still couldn’t understand, and Aeon. He was just a time mage or something who liked to make watches, with the most on-the-nose la

Miyamoto stood on the flat hill as the rain fell around him, mixing with the blood of the beasts he had slain. He wielded his blade as the leader of this beast horde growled before him but didn’t dare to attack. The Sword Saint smiled and bent his knees."Rainblade."The rain around him moved at his command, his skills more responsive and powerful than before. The battle was swift but explosive as he cut down his foe, taking only a few minor wounds in return."Better," he muttered to himself as a figure appeared beside him."You are about as powerful as you were when we battled," the former Monarch of Blood, Iskar, said.Miyamoto nodded, understanding this himself. He had still not regained all of his levels, and needed seven more in total… but that he was already as strong as back then was proof of how much his skills had grown. Not only in rarities, but also in conceptual improvement.Right now, he was in his winter. The period where he was weakened and regaining what he had lost. A

A question Jake had asked himself many times since the tutorial was how powerful the King of the Forest truly was. A part of him feared that he had almost deified the being and made the King out to be stronger than he actually was.Jake had only ever felt the aura of the King. He had never felt his full power. He had been played around with until he cursed the King with a black bead and then stabbed him with the Tusk to weaken him further. Jake had used so many items and done so much just to get a fighting chance.Of course, the current Jake was incomparably stronger compared to back then. He had evolved, gained levels, skills, his arcane affinity… So many things. His power had grown more than tenfold. The current Jake could have killed himself from back then with a single arrow… but… the King back then could also have killed him with a single attack.However, today, all of these questions would be answered. Had Jake overestimated the King? Had his constant comparisons of every other

As with most things, where there were many different approaches to achieve the same result, there were several options for transferring a curse from one vessel to another and when using a catalyst to empower the curse further.Casper would most likely do it through a large ritual circle, using several items as buffers for the curse. Maybe he’d even spread out the curse energy and integrate it a little at a time, potentially taking days, if not weeks, to get it all done.The Holy Church would potentially choose to spread out the curse energy to hundreds of people at once and then have them work together to tame it before infusing it in a new vessel or something. Jake wasn’t sure; these were just some of the methods he had come across when it came to empowering a Sin curse and infusing it with compatible outside energy.There were dozens of ways, but Jake had ultimately decided to go with one of the simplest ones, as he liked simple. It was also the one that would lead to the least wast
