Synopsis
With the invasion of Earth handled, and an enemy Chosen now targeting him, Jake makes his final push for C-grade…
A final push that includes refining one last skill before he evolves. Once that’s done, all he needs is a few more levels and to finish off his bucket list of vanities before it’s time to evolve.
The evolution itself will have no surprises, right?
Jake will no doubt learn more about himself his quest to explore his own abilities, when of course some things don’t go entirely as expected… but little does Jake know just how much his happy little accidents can send tremors through the multiverse and the impact it can have.
Who knows, maybe the waves are big enough that it’s time to finally have a proper Chosen Ceremony, officially embracing his title as the Chosen of the Malefic Viper.

Quotes
"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 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."
"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."
