“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
“Daddy! Mommy! Look! Look! Big buildings.”Hanna yelled in excitement as she pointed her hand at the city ahead of them.She was happy beyond what she could explain. She was flying with her mommy and daddy, and every little thing she saw made her excited. “Mhm… We should go there, right, Roth?”“Yes, My Lord. Just give me the document with identity proof, and I can handle everything while you rest.”Eagle transport was one of the fastest methods of transportation they had, but it wasn’t a very pleasant one. They travelled against the icy wind, and it took some iron will and tough skin to fly on eagles. Especially, they didn’t take children with them since there were a few deaths that happened in the past. However, this family was a special case. The young man, who was an alien to their world, was a wizard, and his woman was a Grandmaster. Their adopted child was a child with cursed pupils. He noticed this when he laid his eyes on the child, but Master Boris reminded him several time
“Gulp!”Roth heard his own sound of swallowing.He looked at the destruction surrounding him with eyes full of fear.‘This family… They are so violent!’Even the little girl seemed to be unbothered by her parents’ actions. Roth eyed the commander of the guards, who was being carried into the city by a few men, and he didn’t know if the man was alive or not. The citizens ran out of the city in panic as broken debris fell down from the city wall. With a simple stomp, the Grandmaster caused unimaginable destruction. He saw his people trying their best to calm the eagles, but they stopped all the commotion when the Grandmaster appeared beside them with the child. The eagles were too terrified to even cause a commotion. ‘Are all Grandmasters that strong?’This Grandmaster simply destroyed all defences targeting the sky in a moment, and he couldn’t believe a Grandmaster was that strong.Roth slowly eyed the young alien standing beside him. He was looking at the time shown on the weird de
“You Monster!”…“Sigh! This guy….”Magnus placed the monitor back on the table with a sigh. The video clearly showed one of the guards screaming at the sky in pain, and no one asked who the man was screaming at. Everyone who saw the live-stream and everyone who watched the video knew the answer.Jason Hope left another man in pieces, and this wasn’t the first time he did this. “Chief… The program has started.”Iris turned on the tv in their living room. She felt a bit awkward when she said that. This living room had everything according to her desire, and Dane had very little say in it. She loved the arrangement of their house.Dane was still inside The Endless, and she had to act as the host for their chief. She logged out early because the chief wanted to meet one of them once the situation got out of their hands. Jason’s heartless actions had caused a massive trigger around the world. After Jason went on a rampage amputating the limbs of a city lord, another piece of news came t
“I am here to register for the Crystal Pulse.”“What is your name?”“I am Sato Mitsuki.”“Huh?”Dawn looked up in confusion as the name sounded familiar to her. Then she realised it was the same man she saw on the video. This was the man who came to challenge Jason and had a mental breakdown after losing. “Are you serious?”She frowned, and Dawn saw all the attention turning toward them. Even the NPCs knew about the man who challenged Jason. Even though they didn’t know the details of Sato’s mental breakdown, they knew this man had the audacity to challenge Jason Hope. “I am… There is nothing against me joining, right?”Sato looked at everyone with a friendly smile.“Why do you want to join the Crystal Pulse?”Dawn frowned a bit more. Coming here and asking to join meant Sato Mitsuki wanted to join the Crystal Pulse as an exclusive member with higher privileges. “I want to learn to fight like him. And I learned I can get more opportunities by becoming an exclusive member.”There wa
‘No! No! No!’Jason struggled to keep his sanity, but he knew one thing very well. He had to hold his breath at all costs or it would destroy his magic nodes leading to an unimaginable agony.After an unknown amount of time, Jason felt a scorching breeze against his skin.Jason slowly gained his vision, and he saw a familiar sight. A red light that brought him haunting memories. The acidic rain could melt his skin and creatures that would kill him on sight, a lonely world with no other being except monsters. However, he didn’t forget the knowledge he gained through all the hardships.Still, when he thought about the time he would have to spend without his small family, Jason felt a sense of loss in his heart.“How long do I have to stay?”Jason adjusted his breathing and inhaled the scorching air that brought a burning sensation into his lungs, but at least his magic nodes were safe.He looked around as his eyes burned with the scorching air. It was another wasteland, but there was a
‘Sigh. Is this all I can eat?’Jason failed to find anything edible in the surrounding area.He stayed hidden for almost two hours in the cave for something to happen, but nothing notable happened. The creature looked as if it was at the edge of its life, but it didn’t die, and no other creature came out until the end.He finally sneaked out of the cave when his hunger took its toll on his body, but he saw nothing in the surrounding that he could eat; except for the ravaged bodies of the monsters.‘Sigh. I can’t even make a fire. What am I supposed to do?’He wished he had his fire runes with him. There was nothing flammable in his surrounding, and the only choice left to him was to consume raw meat to sustain his condition. He knew eating this meat could mutate him, but he was already a mutant. The last time he finished the simulation, there was a message telling him not to mutate, but this wasn’t something he did, and he didn’t want to stay hungry. Jason started ripping into the mo
