Throughout Nevermore, Jake had encountered quite a few gods. He had been recorded both visually and otherwise by the dungeon and system as he made his way through the floors and Challenge Dungeons. However, despite this, he still felt like much about him still wasn’t shared. As if the system put up certain barriers of information not even the Wyrmgod could see.Others had suspicions and theories, but they didn’t know. Minaga’s lack of fully knowing how Jake overcame his labyrinth was prime proof of this. The Wyrmgod asking Jake about Bloodline-related stuff when he’d been summoned to the streaming room also served as further proof that while Jake was analyzed from head to toe, some things weren’t revealed.But… what if Jake handed over a sample filled with his Records? Especially if he made an item related to his Origin Energy or his Path as a Heretic-Chosen? Surely, that could cause some problems, right? Even if the system had some rules within Nevermore, they could just take these i

Jake had been to enough medieval worlds already, so he found the second mission quite boring. The letter delivery did allow him to explore quite a few places, but nothing really caught his eye. Level-wise, there was a good spread, ranging all the way from F-grade to around level 240 in C-grade.Race-wise, the diversity was even better. Everything from goblins to high elves lived in the medieval world, with many races having their own small kingdoms. Oh, and when Jake said small, he meant small. Each kingdom was a highly condensed area, with the open area between them only around a hundred meters, meaning Jake could easily jump from one village to another if he wanted to. All this, despite the “lore” of the world dictating they were actually in conflict.His primary objective was to try and find someone he thought it could be interesting to teach, but he ended up leaving disappointed. While it was true Jake genuinely had no idea what he was looking for when searching for a potential st

Curse energy was a great tool for combat. However, when it came to using it to craft while doing alchemy, things were very different.The energy was actually pretty damn hard to store outside of your body, which Jake already knew and now had to find a way to work around. Jake had had a talk with Casper back during Minaga’s City Floor, where the Risen had shared that he primarily used wooden stakes due to innate concepts within the element. Wood was great at storing energy of different kinds, as trees in the multiverse tended to be very diverse. You could find trees capable of housing anything, depending on their environment. This included curse energy.To be fair, most plants were very adaptable, but wood was one of the only things that retained most of these properties even after the tree itself had been cut down. It was also part of the reason Yalsten had even fallen. If it hadn’t been a giant tree that granted that world its unique properties but instead some special kind of star o

Jake ran into a bit of a problem with his experimentation. Testing out the effectiveness of his poison and curse shouldn’t be that hard, right? Except… who was Jake supposed to test it out on? The defenseless prisoners down in the cellar of the House of the Architect? Random beasts or low-level monsters in one of the worlds? No, all the options were shit, and not just because it would leave a bad taste in Jake’s mouth, but because he wanted to give Eternal Hunger something tasty. Something it actually wanted to eat.Weak creatures didn’t strike the cursed weapon’s fancy, and Jake wanted a poison that would really help turn the curse energy ravenous when it mattered. There was also the problem of Jake needing similar targets to compare results. Most alchemists achieved this by testing on live targets that they then healed up again, often including people who could give feedback on the torture they’d had to endure—a fate Meira had nearly suffered as a slave.Yeah, Jake wasn’t going to r

Jake had wanted to focus on making a Grimoire. He truly had. The problem was that he couldn’t just do as he usually did and experiment until he pumped something good out for one simple reason he had kind of forgotten, even if it was expressly mentioned in the skill description. Only when Jake tried to craft one did he bring up the skill description again and remember.[Grimoire of the Heretic-Chosen (Unique)] – Expand your Path and allow others to walk in your footsteps. Allows the Heretic-Chosen to craft a Grimoire related to his Path, allowing another of the enlightened races to consume it, granting them either a class or profession. The nature of the Grimoire depends on a multitude of factors, including crafting ingredients, the will of the creator, and several unknowns. Requirements to use the Grimoire vary. A cooldown period is required between each crafting attempt, and a longer cooldown is triggered after a successful Grimoire craft. Due to your unique Path, every Grimoire crea
