“Are you alright?”Jason stroked Hanna’s head when he felt her hands tighten around his neck. He knew she didn’t have pleasant memories in Forestedge, but she would eventually have to face those. Besides, he already had another problem, and that was his visit to Heaven’s Gate. It was obvious that Hanna wouldn’t be happy about it. She was closer to him than the last time he left her in Light Shone, and she never liked him leaving her behind. Jason also didn’t think of leaving her behind. He had created a bond with Hanna and Amelia unlike anything he had in both his lives, and sometimes it even scared him to think about his future.However, he just wanted to go with the flow and hope everything would work out, but he knew he had a lot to do if he wanted to secure a future. “Mhm!”Hanna whispered, and Jason felt her leaning against him more, and she even raised one of her hands and grabbed Amelia’s shirt.…“Should I take you?”Amelia’s voice turned gentle, and she came closer to Jas
“Jason!”Boris finally felt relieved when he saw Jason coming down with the woman and child. The crushing pressure that affected everyone disappeared about an hour ago, and there was nothing else after that. Still, no one was brave enough to approach the room to check on them until they came out. The child looked much better compared to how she was when they brought her in, but she still clung to the silver-haired woman’s neck. “That is the real deal. It is Jason… I am starting my live stream!”Boris heard one of the aliens whispering.He saw Jason walk back to the counter and order lunch for everyone that came with them before looking at him.“Can we have a chat, Mr Boris?”“Sure!”Boris didn’t hesitate to entertain Jason at the moment. More likely, he was just scared.He heard from these alien humans that there were two Grandmasters in Light Shone, and one of them was Jason’s woman, but he didn’t believe it. However, he had his proof right here, and this woman wasn’t some weak Gra
“Three moves, that is all you have. You can start whenever you are ready.”Jason stood there with his hands behind his back.“Good luck, daddy!”Hanna cheered from the side. She felt a bit nervous and insecure when people started gathering around them, but she wanted to cheer for daddy. Also, she didn’t feel as bad as before when she was in mommy’s arms. As for her daddy losing, this thought never crossed her mind. Her daddy was invincible, except, against mommy. “Thank you!”Jason turned around and smiled at Hanna, and he saw her face bloom into a bright smile that could melt anyone’s heart.“Madam Amelia… Should we take… Miss Hanna inside?”Butch had a hard time using formal language to speak, but he was learning with the help of Samson. “Inside? Why?”Amelia looked at the man with a confused face.“Because… Because it is going to be a battle… A battle to the death.”“Huh? Nothing to worry about. Jason can easily win.”“Eh….”Butch looked at Samson, looking for some help, but he r
“I guess they already heard it.”Scott looked at the exploding forum with a bit of a heavy mind. Jason wanted to keep the matter related to his Magic Sphere a secret, but it was all over the forum after the outburst from Envoy Boris. There were multiple videos shared across a variety of platforms, and by the time they got into damage control, it was already too late.Apparently, many didn’t pay any attention to the battle between the two parties. Rather, they all had their mind on another matter. “I already informed Jason, there is nothing we can do at the moment. He said it is okay.”Dane shrugged, looking at the forum. Every single day, Jason made it to the top of the forum, and he had been among the top searched names on many search engines for the past few months. Still, here they were, sitting in their shabby management building in Light Shone, racking their brains on how to handle the situation. People learning about Jason’s magic sphere wasn’t a problem, and no one importan
About two hours back, Sato pushed himself out of his new gaming cabin. He couldn’t stop himself from shaking. It was the worst experience he had since the day he was born. He died several times along the way, trying to reach Forestedge to challenge Jason. One time, he fell into a ditch and got injured, and another time, wolves hunted him, but none of them came to the feeling he got when Jason’s sword went through his body.He felt it cut through his skin, flesh and bone, and it wasn’t all about pain, it was the feeling of being close to death. Despite The Endless being a game, he felt he had been so close to death. Despite getting killed several times, there had never been such a crushing feeling in his mind until he felt Jason’s sword.He looked at his sword rack, and he wanted to reach out and grab his favourite sword. When he was in a bad mood, these swords and some physical exercises helped him tremendously, but today, he couldn’t reach them. No matter how much he tried, he felt
“Mr Jason, Sir, where do you want to go? I arranged a car.”Samson whispered, coming out of his stopper. He realised even the reporters were stunned by Jason’s cold answer.“I just wanted to take a walk.”Jason didn’t have an idea where he should go at the moment, he just needed to digest the things he had learned from Amelia. He had little time for himself when he was with Hanna and Amelia, especially when they were out on a day like this.“Mr Jason, can I have five minutes of your time? I have some questions for you.”A girl among the group called out loud to him.“Mr Jason, you don’t have to tell them anything.”Samson felt he needed to step up at the moment. Jason was the face of the Crystal Pulse, and one wrong word might cost them a significant amount of reputation.“Hm….”Jason tried to get his head around the situation. ‘Answer what?’He actually had a secret that he couldn’t reveal. Amelia revealed they could kill the players within The Endless, but Jason was sure that a nor
“Jason, Sato Mitsuki has responded. He is saying he will return to The Endless and learn from you. He has thanked you for opening his eyes to see what he is missing.”“Hm… Doesn’t matter.”Jason ignored what Dane said, and he wondered what Dan, Iris, and Samson were doing here in his apartment, but he didn’t have a mind to think about it.‘I guess getting stronger is the only way.’He wondered about what Amelia said. Until then, he thought being a player gave him a great advantage, but the bitter truth was that a powerful enemy could easily take away that advantage. “Jason, these movement activists have found a sample copy of our exclusive contract, and they are using it to justify their demands.”“Just ignore it.”He again dismissed their concerns.“Eh… Jason… What did Grandmaster Amelia tell you to make you think so much?”“Hm? Nothing important.”Jason didn’t know if he could give it up openly. Because his words might prove that he knew the truth about The Endless, and it would l
“Here, this is all I can give you. Consider it as a memento for our deal, human.”“What is this?”Jason picked up the ball of silk Brood spat out from her mouth. He felt something solid underneath, and he ripped out the silk to find an exquisite dagger with a well-decorated sheathe. There was a notable mark on the dagger made of gold that looked like a castle inside a circle.“What is this mark?”“It is something from old times. From something that disappeared long ago.”Jason didn’t press any further as he thought he felt a slight trace of emotions in Brood’s voice. “Thank you, I will leave now.”“Good! You can start the trade when you enter my home.”“Alright!”Jason gave a nod before walking back to Hanna and Amelia. “Bye, bye, big spidy.”Hanna waved her hand. That was the name she called Brood since the day she saw her.“Bye, little human.”Brood watched the little girl wrapping her hands around Jason’s neck with love. This reminded her of the days when she received similar lo
