The Primal Hunter

Chapter 876

Nobody liked being interrupted while having a good time, and Jake was no different. He had just been chilling with his Puzzle Box when suddenly he felt the space around him shift, and he was thrown out of the space inside the box. For a brief moment, he saw his surroundings before the entire time chamber disappeared, and Jake found himself standing within an entirely white void reminiscent of those he had been tossed into after doing the Challenge Dungeons.

Just as he appeared, so did a screen pop up in front of him.

Nevermore Leaderboards Challenge successfully completed. Initiating final calculations.

Jake read the message and nodded. Bloody finally.

He waited for more text to appear for a few seconds, but nothing was happening, making him impatiently tap his fingers as he crossed his arms.

“I swear if this messes up any of our timing for finishing…”

“It won’t,” a voice suddenly said as a figure appeared behind him. “While in this space, time is paused, courtesy of the system.”

Turning his head, Jake saw a familiar figure as he smiled. “Didn’t expect the big boss herself to handle these evaluations too.”

“Usually, she doesn’t,” Nevermore answered. “But in some rare cases, I do. Primarily for those who performed well enough for it to be warranted.”

“I guess that’s a way of telling me I did well,” Jake smiled.

“You already know you did well,” Nevermore said. “Now you just need to find out exactly how well.”

The Bound God waved her hand as a screen appeared off to the side, making Jake look over.

“Are you nervous?” Nevermore asked, clearly already knowing the results of everything.

“I feel like I shouldn’t be, but a little bit of nervousness did manage to sneak in. Overall, I wouldn’t say I was, though,” Jake shrugged, pretty sure that was normal.

“Perhaps not for this… but I will give you a courtesy warning that once we are done here, you will be teleported into the Nevermore City square, surrounded by nearly every peak faction of the multiverse, with all eyes on you as Minaga is in charge of announcing the Leaderboards results, making me relatively certain he won’t just allow you to appear without at least a few comments,” she shared kindly.

“… okay, now I might be a little nervous…”

“Good. Now for the part you don’t need to be as nervous about,” the Bound God said as the screen began to be filled with lines of text.

Nevermore Points Leaderboard Calculation:

71 levels gained (204 --> 275). Calculating rewards.

You’ve earned 7100 (100 per level gained) Nevermore Points.

Jake had to jump in here, as 100 points per level just seemed way too low and almost insulting until he remembered how few points the lower floors gave, and with that in mind, maybe this wasn’t so bad. Yeah, he also had to consider he had probably gained way fewer levels than some others, so the extra points per level being shit was-

You will receive an additional 35.5% (0.5% per level gained) multiplier of all Nevermore Points.

Alright, never mind. Levels were still pretty damn fucking important, even for those with a lot of points. An extra multiplier per level gained had not been something Jake expected, that’s for sure. He knew levels would give something, but a percentage multiplier seemed like a bit much. Not that he was going to say no to it, as it would help make his final number even bigger.

And looking at the next three lines, his number did end up being pretty darn big… with even quite the impressive multiplier.
