And everyone present in the hunt soon learns why Jake is Earth’s Progenitor when a couple hundred independents and their city lords attempt to kill or make him leave the event. Jake learns a lot and grows even more than expected during this event, we see him start to build friendships with other elite of Earth. The entire planets elites rush to qualify as many of their people as they can as never before seen treasures and power are up for grabs. Preparing for the Hunt is high stress as only those at D-grade or over level 100 will be invited. We also learn more of the enigmatic System that controls this reality and how it works. Kinda rude considering the sheer number of other Earthlings within the Treasure Hunt. But first they decide to have a competition as they both are quite competitive, who can kill the most Counts of Blood. Jake and the Sword Saint will finally have a chance to duel and see who is the at the pinnacle of earth’s humans. But the good news is that Book 6 would be coming soon, so that’s a win for us readers! I would have liked to have some more hints about what happens in the next book in the conclusion part. Overall, it is not bad for a fan of the series, and the upcoming stories would continue to be exciting it seems. The ending could have been better, as it feels a sudden end, but thankfully not a maddening cliffhanger. In fact, the duel after the hunt felt more exciting than the preceding event. Unfortunately, the treasure hunt is a series of highs and lows and feels a tad too long, although it does have variety in the form of both action and puzzles, sudden ambushes, and also sprinkled with minor character introductions/development/interactions.
In the preface the author jokes about making the whole book about the treasure hunt system event, which would be hilarious… if it was a joke. This book is not bad, but falls a bit flat compared to the epic powerups and story progressions of the previous books.
