Chapter 791 - Nevermore: Test of Character Fully Tested
🕑 Added 2023-11-16 11:51:47 +0000 UTCIf you stood before a rail with a switch in front of you, that could change the path of an oncoming train onto another path, with five people tied to the train’s original path and only one on the…
Okay, everyone knows the trolley problem. Apparently, the Wyrmgod did, too, as Jake was presented with one that was pretty much a magical carbon copy where he could choose who to teleport away from an incoming monster horde. As for Jake’s choice?
Why not just kill the monsters?
Which is what he did.
Jake didn’t know if the system didn’t like that or something, as, in the very next story, Jake was represented with a very similar scenario. However, this time, he was on a whole other planet operating a teleporter where he could either choose to let the story run its course or teleport a bigger group if he personally intervened.
As for Jake’s choice? He did nothing.
See, he didn’t really see this as a legitimate trolley problem, the same as back on Earth. He felt It was more like one of those modified ones, where you got told that the one person you killed to save five actually had the cure to cancer in their head, and you were now a monster who had doomed millions to die due to your decision. Of course, Jake didn’t know this was the case, but he also didn’t know it wasn’t, so he just let the character who was in charge of teleporting do his thing, assuming he knew better.
Ultimately, Jake didn’t really see why he should care much which group was saved either way. He didn’t know who they were, and if he was to make a purely utilitarian judgment call, he lacked the information to do that. What if the smaller group he saved were all C-grades with good future prospects, while the larger group was filled with F and E-grades who had a better chance of randomly becoming Transcendents than reaching D-grade?
So, with all that in mind, Jake remained passive when he couldn’t directly interfere to change the situation to something he thought was better. If he could reveal his true power to save people, he saw no reason not to, but if he had to make these weird moral choices, he chose not to engage. He was aware that in itself was a choice, but it was one he stuck to.
There was one of these trolley-problem stories where Jake did choose what to do. It was one where he was riding a space shuttle that was crashing toward a star, and he had to decide who could evacuate in escape pods. Jake himself was the captain in this one and the person who had been flying the spaceship when he had fucked up and hit an asteroid before Jake entered the story.
With only a total of fifteen escape pods but twenty-five people on board, ten people had to stay and die. During the story, he had gotten to know all the other crew members as they tried to repair the spaceship before it was too late, and when the final choice of who to escape appeared, Jake knew what to do as he took control.
“Well, to say we’re fucked is an understatement… only fifteen of us are getting out of here, which means ten will have to say. So, let me first ask first… any volunteers for dying?” Jake questioned before he did something none of the crew members had expected as he raised his hand.
Jake had learned something during this story he genuinely hadn’t known. That entire thing where the captain goes down with his ship was not a thing in the multiverse. In fact, it tended to be the opposite. Seeing as the captain was often the person with the highest level, he would often be evacuated first as he held more value. A high-level captain could have more value than the entire spaceship itself, so to lose both was just unnecessary in the eyes of most.
However, Jake didn’t agree with this. In his eyes, the captain – himself - in this case, had been the one who had fucked up. He had hit an asteroid due to his own incompetence and gotten at least nine others killed, so of course, he had to take responsibility or at least stay on the spaceship till the very end and try to fix the situation he had created.
Anyway, Jake volunteering to go down with the ship also made five others decide to stay behind. As they did this, Jake suddenly got an odd feeling as he stared at one of the crew members who had decided to leave. He got the feeling she needed to stay… so he made that happen.
“The remaining four who stay will be decided by chance to make it fair,” Jake said, as he proceeded to use his Bloodline to entirely rig the game of chance to make that one specific woman stay with him and the other volunteers. She looked devastated when she realized she had lost, but still accepted the result as fifteen people took the escape pods, leaving ten of them in a spaceship that couldn’t fly, barreling toward a star. They still had a bit less than two days till impact, but things were definitely less than stellar.
Jake learned a day later, when they were getting closer to the star, why his guts had told him to keep the female crew member who was one of the engineers. With excitement, she ran to him and said she had found a potential solution to allow them to survive. By blowing up one of the engines, they could take advantage of a storm of space mana that was approaching, pushing them just enough to enter orbit around the star, to then blow up a second engine to set free them from orbit again and send them flying home.
It was super risky and straight out of some very unrealistic space movie, but Jake was entirely on board. This was one of the stories where Jake’s own power didn’t do shit. Something he had noticed was a general theme. Either power didn’t matter at all, as everything else was just too damn powerful compared to any C-grade, or everyone was E and D-grades. In fact, Jake hadn’t seen a single C-grade even after doing more than fifty of the stories.
Anyway, in a twist that wasn’t super surprising, the engineer’s plan turned out to work, and in the epilogue, Jake saw his captain character and the rest of the crew miraculously survive. It did also show his character getting scolded by his superiors for not escaping in a pod, but ultimately, he was still hailed as a hero along with the engineer for “great decision making.”
The lesson Jake learned from this test was to always trust his gut and that rigging a game of chance was acceptable as long as it was for the greater good. Ah, who was he kidding?
Jake hadn’t learned shit during all these damn tests of his character or whatever. The novelty had long worn off, and while he did his best to get engaged in the stories, some of them proving genuinely interesting due to the setting, his attention span was waning. Most of them just weren’t that engaging or interesting to him, and he felt like he was wasting time. Moreover, most stories took over a week, and at that point, he had already spent over a year inside the Challenge Dungeon with nothing to show for it.
Stories from there just felt slower and slower. Soon Jake had done sixty, then seventy, eighty, ninety… Jake had no idea when it would end until finally, he reached story number one hundred. This story in itself didn’t have anything hugely enjoyable about it, but as he entered it, Jake felt like he was finally approaching the end of his suffering.
Once the story was done and the princess was not saved from a dragon that just turned out to have a massive crush on her, he finally went somewhere that wasn’t just another random story.
Jake found himself within a white void – on a side note, the system really liked white voids for these kinds of situations – where nothing happened for a few seconds. Finally, a system message appeared before him, making him sigh in relief.
Congratulations! You have completed the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon!
Evaluation performance…
Thank fucking Villy, Jake thought to himself. For a second there, he was afraid the white void was just the setup for another story or something. Jake was sure happy to finally be out and was already looking forward to the next Challenge Dungeon, as it could only be better than this.
But, before that, he still needed his final evaluation. One that he had to admit he was kind of nervous about. It had to be reiterated, but Jake had no idea how he had done or what he had even been tested on. So, with bated breath, he waited until suddenly, a Grand Achievement popped up in front of him.
Grand Achievement earned: Successfully completed the Test of Character with an excellent performance. You have shown a consistent sense of justice, character, and a high level of self-belief. However, you also displayed a lack of dedication to certain Paths and a lack of interest in understanding stories, even when doing so could prove beneficial to you personally. Throughout the test, you have shown no growth or regression in your character but remained wholly consistent. 49.108 Nevermore Points earned. Due to completing a Grand Achievement, you will receive a 10% multiplier of all Nevermore Points at the final calculation.
Reading it over carefully, Jake could honestly only shrug. It said he had an excellent performance, so that was good, right? Also, at least it called him consistent, even if it also recognized he was bored. But was it really that bad to not show dedication toward something that he really didn’t like doing? Sure, it said he didn’t display interest even when doing so could have benefitted him, but it wasn’t like missing some benefits here and there would ruin him. He could always just make up for any losses elsewhere while doing something he actually found engaging.
Jake knew one of the reasons he had kind of hated the Challenge Dungeon was simply due to how “complicated” it was. He liked to keep things simple, and some grand social experiment mixed with a personality test wasn’t something he liked at all. If it had told him how to perform, he would have taken it as a challenge, but what even was the challenge in this Challenge Dungeon? He still didn’t fucking know.
But… oh well, he had at least gotten some more Nevermore Points and another multiplier, so that was nice to see. With this, he got his points above nine hundred thousand, rapidly closing in on a million.
Nevermore Points: 907.602
There was also no title this time around, and from the looks of it, there were no levels either. This did make him question if any of these Challenge Dungeons even gave experience, but surely, the Minaga one had to, right?
Anyway, Jake was complaining a lot internally, but it wasn’t all bad. Especially not when he got the other reward from the Challenge Dungeon besides the points.
Right in front of him appeared what looked like a single blank page ripped from a book. At first, Jake was confused, but when he used Identify on it, a small smile snuck onto his lips.
[High-Quality Storybook Page (Unique] – The page of an unknown storybook containing empty Records of a tale yet untold. Allows you to infuse the Records of a skill into the storybook page. Ripping a page infused with the Records of a skill will grant you an opportunity to upgrade the skill. The effect is lower the higher the rarity of the skill, and the page will not accept Records of certain skills. It will have no effect if used on skills at or above legendary rarity. Skill upgrades are not guaranteed.
Requirements: C-grade. Soulbound
Now, this was something actually useful. Items like this were incredibly rare to find in the multiverse and would allow him to potentially even upgrade skills where Jake wasn’t sure where to take it. Yep, definitely a good one.
Do you wish to exit the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon?
No further actions can be taken within this Challenge Dungeon.
Jake, standing in the void, sighed, happy he was finally done with the damn Test of Character Challenge Dungeon. Looking up, he stared straight at where he knew someone was observing him. Definitely the Wyrmgod recording.
“I give that damn Challenge Dungeon a two out of ten. It’s shit. The novelty quickly wears off, and then you are just doing chores. Definitely one to go back to the drawing board with. And if you say that my not liking it is proof I shouldn’t have gotten a better evaluation, then I guess my character just sucks, and I’ll happily accept that if it means not going to that shithole again,” Jake said, giving a very fair and accurate review of the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon.
If they wanted to do a damn live documentary of his life, he should at least have the right to get a few jabs in, right?
Ultimately, he just decided to mentally write off the entire Challenge Dungeon. Yeah, it had just been a place for him to waste some time while recovering from the Colosseum of Mortals, nothing more, nothing less, and it wasn’t like it hadn’t still been efficient when it came to making Nevermore Points, and he even got that storybook page. Yep, it was definitely not a waste of time. Definitely not…
Seriously, what kind of person would like that shitty place?
--
Jacob appeared in the white void, a pang of sadness hitting him as he realized the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon was over. He had genuinely enjoyed the entire experience, and despite it giving him no levels, he felt like he had progressed plenty. The Paths he had seen, the fates he had divined, and the worlds he had experienced were invaluable. To stand in the shoes of another person and truly experience life from their point of view was simply invaluable, and something he would gladly do again if given the chance.
He had barely considered what rewards the dungeon would offer, so he was taken aback when the system presented him with his final evaluation.
Grand Achievement earned: Successfully completed the Test of Character with a near-perfect performance. You have shown yourself to be a guide, a teacher, an observer, or whatever role you needed to adapt. You have proven you can understand every story and guide it toward an ideal future, your every decision guided by comprehension, empathy, and logic, your thought process adapting to each scenario. Throughout the Test of Character, you have grown and adapted to every challenge, never once faltering. 88.201 Nevermore Points earned. Due to completing a Grand Achievement, you will receive a 20% multiplier of all Nevermore Points at the final calculation.
Reward gained: Test of Character: Near-perfect Empath.

Not to mention the odd page he got when everything else was said and done…
[Exceptional Storybook Page (Unique] – The page of an unknown storybook containing empty Records of a tale yet untold. Allows you to infuse the Records of a skill into the storybook page. Ripping a page infused with the Records of a skill will grant you an opportunity to upgrade the skill.

Skill upgrades are not guaranteed.
Requirements: C-grade. Soulbound
Despite his gratitude for these rewards, Jacob admittedly would have gladly traded them for another chance to do the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon. He was not a contender for the Leaderboards anyway, and getting more power through titles and such mattered little to him or his Path.
With gratitude for being allowed the Test of Character Challenge Dungeon, he left with a smile on his face, hoping others would find as much enjoyment in the experience as he had.

Arnold appeared in the white void, having completed the Challenge Dungeon with an approach he deemed the best. Besides that, he didn’t really have many thoughts of the roughly last two years of his life, as he hadn’t really done anything he deemed especially noteworthy. This did make him display some surprise as he raised a single eyebrow when he got the final evaluation.
Grand Achievement earned: Successfully completed the Test of Character with an unquestionable performance. You have shown yourself to be an analyst of all stories. Every story was approached with logic, and every decision was made only according to the data provided to maximize benefits for your character.

Only one Nevermore Challenge Dungeon title can be held at a time. +175 to all stats.
What’s more was the Exceptional Storybook Page he received, which would allow him to upgrade one of his research-related skills that usually had a too time-consuming progression path. This would save him a lot of time and allow him to proceed more quickly with some of the experiments he had hypothesized but lacked the means to adequately collect empirical data and form a proper theory. As for his thoughts on the Test of Character itself?
In truth, he didn’t really have any. He didn’t believe his own thoughts on the matter had any bearing on the actions he had taken, after all. However, he could admit he did find some level of happiness with his gains. Especially after the entirely lacking performance he displayed in the Colosseum of Mortals, which had proven to be an entirely unproductive endeavor.

Sam Rosenberg
I like the Arnold and Jacob storylines
ItWasIDIO!!
Still don't like Jacob
Tragic Hysteria
Jake needs a better reward for the coliseum
Alysyn
I’m slowly coming to dread the weekends…this can’t be right
jb qspam
25% is an impossible feat. “Valdemar acknowledges you” is the perfect score of 20%. Jake did the impossible and *beat* Valdemar. Honestly just getting an additional 5% seems… Lacking.
Maybe it shows different things to monsters. Would make sense tbh.
Iron
Funny how at a second read the test of character seems to reward consistentcy of character and value while grading how far you pushed the concept behind them. Likely the reason why Arnold did so well. Considering that I don't know how yoy chosen did, in so far as there isn't really an antecedent event to infer on his character when a dilem is presented. Maybe he will have cheesed his path but even then he will be forced to have made a choice as to how far he would cheese it. Kinda hopping for a yoy chosen POV.
Walter Pfaff
Remember elhakan getting pretty much beaten by the sword saint when he was using the glimpse of summer. Let alone his full transcendence. Highly doubt he would get further with combat ability. Maybe bloodline shenanigans but that wouldn’t work v umbra and valdemar so doubt he’d get acknowledged. Especially since he should be ahead of Jake and co I recalll them saying no one else has gotten acknowledged by valdemar. Although it doesn’t rule out him going after Jake
Sanderson
Great chapter, very funny.
kingofshibainu
So what skill is Jake going to upgrade do we think? One Step, One Thousand Miles maybe unless he needs to find a more specific way to integrate his arcane affinity? He has that stealth skill that is lower rarity and might get a better benefit, but he doesn't use them very much. Either that or his Mark or stealth attack skill would be my guess since there are epic and rare respectively and complicated to upgrade.
Back a few hundred episodes somewhere around just after jake claimed the pillar, jake explained it as, he can tell if anyone and how many/who is watching him, however villy found a slight work around where, if you recorded Jake, he could only tell that one person is watching him( the recording) even if everyone watched it.
Sean Dawson
I don’t feel like he did that much better than Jake. It’s not about the stories but who the person is. Arnold did good due to his judgment based on data, Jacob did good due to his character. Using his bloodline to get the best outcome wouldn’t be much more than just sitting out like Jake with some being bad and others better do a 15%. It’s a test of character not of skill or abilities.
Malth
Well now I want to know how sylphie did. Unless her performance is being hidden until the end of Nevermore when she takes first place and leaves Jake speechless.
Chris
since the 1st floor...
Tadek Peplinski
He can tell someone is recording him but not how many/when
John Balman
Wait a minute can Jake now tell when he is being recorded not just watched......when did that happen or was Villy wrong
Waterhobit
Sylphie is going to care about this stupid challenge dungeon. She doesn't care what happens to these people who aren't even real people. Unless the story involves fighting or flying, she is going to just be bored out of her mind.
Micah Molina
What!? Lol, Jacob got "near" a perfect score and got 20%. If ELHakan gets a perfect score, which i'm assuming he will, since the System refers to them as "stories" and stories is his path. He's going to get a 25% for a perfect score. That's the max for each dungeon, 25%. Right now, for the Challenge dungeons its either tied at 35% or ElHakan is up, which I think he is, with 20% from the Arena and 25% from the Test of Character. I'm calling it now, after two dungeons ElHakan is up with 45%. Only counting Challenge Dungeon percent. I think Jake and he will tie in a third and it's the final two where Jake takes the lead. One being the Labyrinth. Edit: What I expect to happen in the final 3 is: ElHakan: tie, 20/10%, 10% Jake: tie, 25/20%, 25%
Will Murry
Nevermore changes every time a new universe introduced so Valdemar definitely wasn't there when YoY was bc that was expressly stated. And we don't know that the test of character dungeon was either
austin kutz
"How do you plead?" "REEEEEEE"
austin kutz
There's not a chance he could have even made it to Valdemar. Don't forget that skills are unusable in the Coliseum of Mortals, and it was shown that he blatantly relied entirely on his bloodline and skills to get the things he wanted, not his raw combat ability, which while not poor, could never match up to born combatants like Jake or Valdemar, or the other images of gods. If I had to guess, the monk beat the snot out of him on the rematch and he never did better than that
DirePants
It would’ve nice to see how other characters did at these challenges.
Ral
Who is waiting for Jake outside of the dungeon? An enemy, his team, the gods, noone, or more powerhouse women?
RedFaux
I feel like Arnold would, despite being 100000% logic no feeling, would be a mainly okay guy. Enlightened Self Interest would come naturally to him
Arkenian
I feel like YoY probably got a 25% on the test of character - i could see this dungeon having been a big deal for his growth, even, given his tie to stories. I'm sure he also appealed to Valdemar. Not sure where ell'hakan would place in it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he picks up a 20% here, or maybe even the 25% himself? Don't know that he could get valdemars approval though, which might be his balance to Jake's score here.
Tyler S.
He will probably get another max multiplier from the Minaga Labyrinth, that i dont think El'haky will manage
Aurora1325
i think he only got 20 at most in these story tho i am not even sure of that
Arkenian
All the gods thought it was literally impossible and it was said no one ever did it. I kinda agree that him getting what appears to be +5% points and +25 to all stats over the usual "complete win" (I hypothesize if he had been 'recognized' by valdemar he would've gotten titles equivalent to jacob and arnold) seems low...
Ty Cooper
Looks like I got his total for the dungeon wrong. Ha I shouldn't type before my morning coffee. 😅
Alexikon
you are right. I looked into the wrong chapter
Jake's gave 200
John Balman
I love how truly diverse the system is and allowing everyone to walk their own path no matter what Jake says not everyone is a Jake LoL
Michael Fannon
Friday's cliff will be all the gods betting on the next dungeon with Jake saying his choice is.... calling this now.
Michael Fannon
Sylphie will have a perfect score that gives a 25% bonus.
Michael Fannon
On one hand, the more POV/side chapters we get the longer Nevermore will last. On the other hand, the side chapters are among the best chapters and I for one would love more.
Michael Fannon
I'd say he is too narcissistic to get better than 10% like Jake, if that. And there is no way he would beat Valdemar since Yip of Yore didn't. Villy has beaten Valdemar before, so at least it is possible that his chosen can too.
Michael Fannon
I don't think he is the first. It probably is an incredibly rare event happening only a few times per Era, but it isn't like the time where Jake ate that curse and the Nevermore had to take extra time to calculate something that has never been done before.
Alexikon
why do the titles of this dungeon give 175 to all stats but Jake's colloseum title 100
Micah Molina
I think a lot of people underplay how strong Yip's Chosen is. He plays the fool to Jake but he's really cunning. The Sword Saint constantly warns Jake that he's more than he seems. The Sword Saint fought him and Jake. I trust his analysis. Villy said, that Elhakan was someone who was really close to becoming a Progenitor. Also, there's no way Yip chose someone weak combatively, since appearance is everything to him. Even if Elhakan only got 10% from the Arena (which I could see him getting more due to his fight with Sword Saint, while he was surprised by the Transcendent he wasn't worried, just worried Jake would manage to arrive as backup). The Test of Character's was about stories. He most likely got higher than Jacob and Arnold, getting that 25% achievement, since stories is his path. So that's most likely at LEAST 35% to Jakes 35% gained in the Challenge dungeons. Even if Jake, has 5-10% more percentage bonuses, Elhakan was ahead of him on floors (floors always give more points than previously floors, base points matter more). So, either Jake's ahead or its gonna come down to whom can get more done in the last 10 years after the challenge dungeons.
Aurora1325
but it is not a test of how you do in the world but more the consistency of you beliefs and actions or at least that is how i interprete it
mrthorwahl
Still think its BS that Jake only got 25 % bonus for likely being the first in history to defeat Valdemar in the challenge dungeon.
Chrisbirdie
I highly doubt Ell hakan can beat Umbra. And Valdemar will one shot him and never acknowledge him because of his underhanded style. Afterall everything we have seen from Valdemar sofar proves that all he cares about is pure power without any fancy shenanigans
Chrisbirdie
Yeah, I am pretty convinced now tho, that unless there is something truly insane further inside the dungeon then a 25% multiplier the points is the maximum single multiplier you can get. Because if anything deserved a higher multiplier than that, it would have been Jake defeating Valdemar
kry
The only question left is…. How did Sylphie do??
kry
I’m worried he’d be able to get Valdemar acknowledge him just through his bloodline 😓 but also I agree with your assessment of how he’d do in the test of character dungeon
kry
If Ell’Hakan cheeses his way through the coliseum I’m gonna cry 😢 after how hard Jake worked at it, especially the last fight
RonGAR
HA love the different views on the test results. I honestly forgot about Jacob and Arnold. LOL Would've loved a Sylphie POV.
Micah Molina
The way the System refers to this as stories probably means ElHakan got the 25%/20% achievement considering his path is about stories. Also, since he doesn't rely on his bloodline for combat, I think he did better than the Sword Saint in the arena. Most likely getting acknowledged by Valdemar since it's easier due to him not being human. So he probable got 20% there. I'd say he's most likely ahead of Jake, unless he got donowalled by Umbra in the arena. Celestial power v. Shadow? But even if so, he got 10% at least, putting him near tied with Jake.
Clint
I think the challenge dungeons are all going to give +20% for a perfect clear and +25% if you manage to break it.
Clint
EH could show up in that one in the prison cell and not only exonerate himself and expose the conspiracy, but actually end up conquering the world in record time. It's cheesy and cheating, but his Bloodline seems like an easy win button for this whole dungeon.
jazz
Chill and understand people have different opinions lol
Yaldabaoth
Accurate asf 🤣
Michael Fannon
I hope the next chapter is even more gods all betting on which dungeon Jake will do next. With poor Artemis lost in a corner.
Michael Fannon
I think if he just got recognized by Valdemar, he would have gotten 20% instead of the 25%. That extra 5% will probably put him over the mango man.
Michael Fannon
Cheeto ain't going to beat Valdemar, and we saw that the bonus for being the grand champion was 10% compared to 25%. Jake got 10% from this dungeon, so even if mango man did get a perfect grade, he would have 30 to Jake's 35%. But I don't think he would be able to get a perfect score here. Like Jake, he's too self centered.
Michael Fannon
At the end, as he is inducted into the all star ranks.
Michael Fannon
Least this dungeon was quick.
Michael Fannon
I caught that too. Love it.
kingofshibainu
Now which dungeon should he do next?
John Looney
Do u think it will tie or beat his grand champion title just how stupidly broken he will be
CosmicInsomniac
Suck it Jacob, Arnold beat your score by 557 points!
Firinen
I feel like this dungeon and the reward were only there to offset Jakes win in the Arena of Mortals Dungeon.
Michael
I'm hoping wyrm God allowed Jake's little complaint to be displayed to everyone if not at least let Vilas chuckle to himself when we get to see the perspective of the gods again. It would be funny to see the other gods and primordials just start losing their shit on how Jake just knows when someone is watching him
Gerald Morris
Can't wait till he finds out they beat him in this one 🤣
Amazon Shopper
True solution to the trolly problem(USA police version): Don't hit the lever->Therefor you get to maximize loss of life without being responsible

Good call, I should add this comment to each chapter until we leave Nevermore!🙏
James Squibb
Looking forward to the cutscene of the gods lol.

Thanks for the chapter!! Please dont make a hanging Friday 🥲
Luciaron
And this is how casuals ruined mmos reee
Sammot
Well it's certain Jake will break the labyrinth with his intuition, I'm looking forward to that
JJB4345_80_815
Thanks for the chappy! I appreciated the different perspectives!
jb qspam
“Two out of ten”. We’re speaking of Jake’s rating of the challenge, not the challenge’s rating of the performance by Jake.
Asas
He didn't get the most points. He got around half of what Arnold and Jacob got. Or are you referring to the idea that he does have the most points overall? For that, we have no hard proof.
Walter Pfaff
Still think beating valdemar should have given way more of a multiplier. Especially if others are getting such high multipliers in the test of character. He is the only person to have valdemar admit he’s the grand champion let alone beat him. Just in this chapter there are 2 people who get a 20% multiplier so there could easily be lots more who do
Ty Cooper
I wonder what the Fallen King got for his evaluation? I think it is funny how Jake still got the most points. Because the smaller multiplier? So think Jake is going to break another labyrinth next?
Pablo Barbatto
I doubt we will get to see his final score but maybe we will get some insights of his thoughts about the dungeon.
Seen Death
I have the same feeling about these comments on literally every chapter, when its very clear there are entire portions of nevermore left to explore. Chill and enjoy the ride
BelligerentGnu
Abysmal? What are you smoking? The man got a 10% multiplier. It's only lacking by comparison to the other two.
Olof Karlsson
Thanks for the chapter!
Detrox
You misunderstood me. I meant the abysmal rating of the challenge dungeon
Kris Boxall
He still did well, just not the best of the best
Cory Sauls
Thank you
1FantasyFanatic
Thanks for the chapter!
Naotsugu97
Good chapter. It was a weird challenge dungeon.
Detrox
Great chapter, only lacking a reaction from the gods to his abysmal rating Edit: I meant his rating of the challenge dungeon 2/10
Clint
Looks like Jake left room for Yip's Chosen Cheeto to catch up a bit on this challenge.
Iron
As expected of the different characters. Jake didn't like it as it felt 'unreal', Jacob liked it and plunged into the path shown, Arnold played like a computer... The only question left is, what did yip of yore champion do/get ?
Kris Boxall
Thanks for the chapter! Interesting to see 2 completely different approaches get similar results in the same dungeon
brennon Petersen
