Kindle Notes & Highlights
geniuses tended to all run into the same problem down the road. They became impatient.
Never learned to struggle. Never learned to truly focus. Never stood before what seemed like an insurmountable barrier and, rather than giving up or trying to find a way around, slowly and methodologically figured out a way to climb it, a single inch at a time.
[Eternal Hunger (Mythical)] – A weapon born of eternal hunger—a living sin of consumption, forever starving, forever seeking sustenance. Given form by the [Redacted] Hunter, this new myth still holds properties of its Origin as a weapon created by vampires from the core of a Chimera, allowing it to change shape and adapt to the will of its master. Origin has been further altered by [Redacted], giving birth to the Eternal Shadow of the [Redacted] Hunter. This weapon is eternally Soulbound to its creator; their souls are one and the same, making Eternal Hunger indestructible as long as the

"That forced teleportation is a little unsettling, not gonna lie," Jake commented. "People tend to find it more unsettling when I purposefully choose not to teleport a part of them. Always funny to see them freak out when I ‘forget’ a foot." Villy snickered.
"No, not at all. What could possibly go wrong with eternally linking your soul with a cursed weapon? Totally safe and even recommended by nine out of ten dentists.”
Jake shook his head as he looked. It would be a shame for a third party to decide to mess up this beautiful balance of power, wouldn’t it? Then again, who doesn’t love a good three-way?
Jake knew at that moment that an alliance was more than possible, as any tree with a high Perception stat had to be a good tree. It was just science.
What exactly had the Bloodline done to his own Origin? He was human. Just… not entirely the same kind of human as everyone else.

Jake, hoping to test this, took out one of his hated enemies from his inventory: a mushroom. He stared at it for a moment before throwing it into his mouth and chewing. “Still tastes like shit,"
"Hey, Arnold, did your mythical skill downgrade to legendary after you evolved!?" Jake quickly asked the mad scientist as he stormed into the workshop. "Yes, but I should be able to—" "Get fucked; mine didn’t!" Jake said in return before swiftly making his exit, leaving a very confused Arnold behind. Having completed this imperative objective and gotten a good ego boost, Jake flew back to Haven to continue his evolution with glee.

"C-grade is when life truly begins for most beasts. It was when I, for the very first time, had true intelligence. When most monsters experience sapience for the first time.
Experiments Requiring Varying Degrees of Violence

As a Unique Lifeform, he had three forms of magic: Gold, Soul, and Force.
Extremely Difficult Questions of Varying Complexity
"We aren’t in a rush, so get back here and respect the queue." Jake hadn’t been raised to skip queues just because he was impatient.
"Dude, you are so much better at this politics stuff than me; that was such a powerplay,”
Damn termites and their full willingness to sacrifice their own to land a blow on an enemy. It was like fighting insect versions of the Holy Church.
Two hundred and thirteen C-grade termites remained. I give myself an hour.
Thus, Jake began to do what he was best at when it came to alchemy: Reckless experimenting without any regard for his own safety.
Did you know that many of the young men who became vampires now find themselves hounded by human women, especially those in their teenage years, causing a significant portion of them discomfort?
[Origin Core of the Hundred Royals (Unique] – A core containing immense Records related to the Hundred True Royals of the Ectognamorph Lineage. This vast amount of energy and Records will allow any ectognamorph Queen that consumes it to embrace its Origin related to the Hundred True Royals. The core desires to fulfill its purpose and will dissipate if not allowed to. Follows and is tied to the will of its creator, the Primal Hunter. Requirement: Soulbound.
"So, as always, Jake, you underestimate the impact of your actions, while I purposefully don’t make you aware of them until after the fact because I think it will lead to a more entertaining outcome,"
"Not disagreeing that I am awesome, just that I don’t want to be treated a certain way based solely on some perceived status people think I have.
"Tell them to fuck off, because I am already the Chosen of a Primordial."
"If you pulled down your pants during the ceremony and mooned the room, people would gladly form a line." Irin smiled before teasingly adding on, "And I would do my best to get in front."
Irin had expected levels. It was her Path, after all. But… really? Wasn’t it a bit too much to get nineteen fucking race levels from one round of fucking?
Mushrooms were evil existences created only to bring suffering to everything and everyone. No one liked them, and they only created misery and sadness for anyone unfortunate enough to interact with them too much.
"Do you…" Meira began as she built some courage. "Do you think Lord Thayne will ever… you know?" Vesperia looked at Meira for a few seconds before sighing and giving her a comforting smile. "You like him—I do believe that,” she said in a motherly tone. “Just don’t confuse gratitude and admiration with love and adoration, or the outcome will only be needless hurt. He cares for you, but you have a long way to go before your emotions are ones he can respond to in the way you hope. You want fundamentally different things as you are now, and I don’t see him changing. So if you want to pursue more

The Automata Legion, Endless Empire, Holy Church, Risen, Valhal, Dragonflight Accords, United Tribe, and Altmar Empire… These factions were generally considered the most known and most powerful of the entire multiverse.
"Now, with that clarified, I want to address my choice of Jake here as my Chosen," Vilastromoz said. "Rather than doing so with an explanation, I shall do so with a simple question." His smile faded as he looked out over the masses, with his true attention directed at the many hidden gods. "Who the fuck are you to question my judgment?"
A masked man with mostly black armor and a black cloak, a green bird in a vest on his shoulder, an old man in a dark blue robe carrying a sword, and a willow tree-like being with bony ivory claws and feet, floating a few centimeters off the ground. Definitely the average dungeon group, if Jake said so himself.
Warning: Danger Noodle
Villy, still sitting in his chair, let out a deep sigh. "They fly from the nest so young, don’t they?" "She teleported," Jake said with a deadpan expression. The Viper sighed even deeper. "They teleport from the nest so young, don’t they?"
Jake learned he had gotten over a hundred million slaves that would soon be transferred to his home planet.
"Consider this, hawk of wind,” the King said. “What if this enemy Chosen made you believe the rumored Smelly Pot, as you have aptly named it, is, in fact, the perfect nest?" What the fuck kind of argument is tha—
