“Well… That is all… And you can’t stay there.”Jason glanced at his shoulder, where Nyx lay in a relaxing manner. “Meow?”“No. You can’t hold on when I move at my full speed. Here!”Jason nudged Nyx toward his palm, where he could hold her while they moved. After consuming the second demon, his strength increased a lot, and new patches of starry skin appeared on his body. Nyx could no longer keep up with his speed, and she wasn’t strong enough to hold on to him while he travelled at his full speed. After thinking for a while, he decided to look for demons actively. That was, after learning the new group of human survivors had a way to track the demons. ‘I guess they will survive on their own.’Jason wasn’t keen on moving somewhere else after building this place for so long, but he needed to explore and hunt the demons. The people he trained were strong enough to defeat a hoard of hunters, and zombies and mutated beasts were nothing to them.As for demons, Jason planned to hunt the
“What is he doing?”“Nothing much. He is still sitting there.”Norma didn’t know if she should be happy or sad about the entire thing. Her teacher, the person, or the monster she admired the most, left City Z fifteen years ago.His goal was to hunt all the demons left in their world, and he travelled across their entire planet within the first ten years of his journey. Not only that, her teacher even found other humans and sent their locations to them. In the first ten years, they frequently kept up their conversation, and she even asked her teacher’s advice when she had a hard time with her training. However, five years back, her teacher sent a message saying he was about to go into hibernation. Then they lost contact with him for five years. They had the location of his contact equipment, but she and Lana voted against their people going to find him. If their teacher wanted them to come looking for him, he would have told them. Besides, the location was two continents away; almos
“Commander! Lady Lana turned all monsters in City V into ice sculptures. Master Hale is inspecting the city to see if there are any creatures hiding in the buildings.” “Good. Deploy the cleanup crew after that.” “Yes, commander!” … Norma relaxed back into her chair, feeling a bit overwhelmed by the excited voice of her subordinate. Lana was raining hell upon monsters since she reached her new level of power. According to their teacher, Lana now had the ability to use the spells of a Grand Wizard. This ability was more than enough to deal with a demon. Lana could literally freeze an entire city with her power, and their teacher seemed to be very proud of her achievements. ‘Teacher is proud of me too.’ Norma felt elated when she remembered the gentle pat she received from her teacher the day she achieved her current strength. At her peak, she was strong enough to face Lana head-on and even could resist Lana’s amazing wind magic. She could float in the air with ease, and her
‘I hope those children have a wonderful future. What will happen to them? Are they real people? Will I ever see them?’Jason felt a bit sad for the children he raised so far. He didn't have a deep attachment to these children, and he knew it was because he always yearned to return to Hanna and Amelia.These kids grew up to be amazing children. Lana became a Grand Wizard, and Norma, the child who always lingered around him, was stronger than a Grand Wizard, with her domineering aura and physique.‘I think this is the same energy as what Amelia has, but Amelia’s body is filled with energy, and Norma only has it in her magic nodes.’The energy Norma gathered from physical training was much more powerful than the energy of the Wind Sphere in Lana. However, Jason thought it was only fair since the physical training method didn’t offer something similar to a Magic Sphere. The user had to depend solely on their physique and aura while a wizard had many spells.‘Well… They don’t have many war

“I am not a Fluffy kitty!”Nyx complained in a worried voice. She did not know what exactly happened. When her weird friend said he had to leave, she wanted to go with him. Even if he said it was difficult, she didn’t want to stay behind alone. This was the only creature she interacted with, and they travelled around a lot together. This was the first time he refused to take her with him, and she didn’t budge.The moment that weird energy landed on her body, she felt different. Something changed, and she found herself in this weird place. The worst part was her friend. He looked like those humans she saw in the other place, and he was so weak compared to who he was.‘I can kill him with ease. Why is he so weak? And why is he so different? What is it with that woman, and why is she trying to kill me?’Nyx had so many questions in her mind, and she couldn’t understand her friend anymore. It took her years to understand him for the first time, and his voice and language had changed a lo
“What is with this creature?”Amelia finally broke the uncomfortable silence they had between them. ‘Why am I like this?’Amelia felt unsettled when she heard Jason lived somewhere else with other humans; especially since she didn’t know what he did. She wanted to hear it from Jason’s mouth. She knew Jason had another life in his world, but Amelia had enough people who told her about Jason’s life in that place. He had no other family or anyone special. His only family in both worlds was them.‘How should I ask him? Why isn’t he telling me anything?’She felt increasingly nervous when she thought if they were close enough for her to ask about his personal matters. ‘Well… You expect me to take care of our child. And you expect to hug me whenever you feel like it, you better have answers for me.’“I found her in the simulation. Honestly, I do not know how she made it back here. I mean… I didn’t even think any of that was real.”Jason answered Amelia without taking his eyes off Hanna.S
“This is pathetic. Is this what you made?” “Eh… This is the best I can do. That is why I need your help to improve it before giving it to Hanna.” Jason felt helpless in front of Amelia’s words. He started writing down everything he remembered since the sun came up. He had a lot of knowledge in his mind and wanted to note them before he forgot. The first thing he wanted to do was to note down the training method for psychics, who Amelia called Espers. It was important for Hanna, and Amelia could help him improve it further with her knowledge. “Sigh. Give me that.” Amelia took the pen off Jason’s hand and started working on the things Jason wrote down. “My Lord, the eagles are more nervous today. I am not sure why.” Roth looked worried by the nervousness of their trusted eagles. The eagles feared this female Grandmaster, but they seemed more unsettled today. ‘Where did this cat come from? I didn’t see it yesterday.’ Roth wondered if he had missed this cat black and white ca
"Shit," Amelia cursed under her breath as she deflected blow after blow, desperately trying to protect Jason from the relentless attacks.It wasn’t just her previous enemies; there was another massive threat looming on the horizon. She could feel the presence of a greater demon, its oppressive aura emanating from afar, finally ready to make its move.'I can't take on this thing,' she thought, parrying another strike aimed at her.She didn't have the luxury of time to grab Jason and flee. Besides, with the monstrous force approaching, running seemed pointless. This new threat was undoubtedly stronger than her.'If only he can fight,' she lamented, her grip tightening around her sword. She couldn't even afford a glance at Jason to check if he was still holding on. All she could hear were his painful grunts, each one a stab to her focus.…"Daddy, Daddy, no, I have to go!" Hanna cried out, trying to rush toward the mine entrance.Before she could take another step, Nocturne leapt from her
'This is not going to end well.'Jason barely caught his breath as he hid behind a stone column, narrowly evading the swing of a giant demon's sword. He felt a growing sense of helplessness as his spells failed to inflict any significant damage on these monstrous enemies. Surprisingly, his Arcane Spawns managed to restrain one of the demons temporarily. However, the limitation was clear—he could only summon three Arcane Spawns at a time, and that number was far from enough to take down even a single demon.'I don't think Amelia can hold on much longer.'While Jason was barely managing against a single demon, Amelia was handling all five of the remaining demons on her own. She moved with incredible agility, skillfully evading the swords and other weapons targeting her, striking back whenever she saw an opening. Her blade flashed, leaving shallow cuts on the demons’ thick skin, but it was clear that even with her skill, she was being overwhelmed. Five demons were far more than she cou
"Hanna, you have to be good and stay here, alright?""Alright, Daddy," Hanna responded, her voice tinged with sadness, but she kept her composure.'Hanna is a big girl. I can't cry. Mommy and Daddy promised to come back,' she reminded herself, trying to act brave.Floating behind her, Nocturne extended its tentacles, imitating the action of wiping away tears as if to comfort Hanna in its own eerie way."No, Hanna is not crying, Little Cuttlefish," Hanna tried to argue with Nocturne, waving her tiny fist cutely at the eldritch horror."Make sure everything is okay." Jason gave Hanna a quick peck on the forehead before turning to Samson and Butch."We will handle things while you are gone, Sir Jason," Butch assured him. Despite not being from Earth, he had learned to mimic Samson when addressing Jason. Many of the bodyguards, even those from Yuriel, had learned to act properly under Samson's guidance.Jason's gaze shifted to Dane, who was responsible for maintaining the outer perimete
“Eh….”Hanna turned her head around as she felt a familiar ominous feeling. “What is it, Hanna?”“Little Cuttlefish is here, Mommy.”She didn’t know where it was, but she felt its presence. A moment later, a ripple appeared near them and a small slit expanded in midair. An eerie dark feeling seeped out of it as several small tentacles slipped into their world. “Whee!”Nocturne floated toward Hanna making a cheerful noise. “Hiss.”Ancient Wraith hissed at the foreign creature. “Grr….”Nyx growled at the creature in anger, but it didn’t try to attack it. First, Nocturne was Jason’s pet. Second, her little master had no anger toward this thing. However, Nyx knew that the horrible disease had the same scent as this creature. It was a dangerous and foreign feeling that made them uncomfortable. “Gu! Gu!”Nocturne immediately released a defensive sound and hid behind Amelia, trying to protect itself. “Don’t harm Little Cuttlefish. It is not his fault.”Hanna gently patted Nyx’s head
“No! I will not let you go in.”Brood’s voice was sharp and loud, and Jason felt the surrounding air vibrate with her voice. “It is already spreading. Send out one of your Drones and check the caves to the north. There is a crack.”Jason didn’t care about Brood’s rant at the moment. He was much stronger than before. Even if he failed to defeat Brood, he was confident enough to survive against her and escape. Besides, Amelia should be already on her way here. “But… But… This is the only place I am supposed to protect. I… I didn’t let anything escape.”Brood’s voice broke a little as she tried to suppress the agitation. “Check it out. I can feel the monsters roaming beneath those cracks, and it won’t be long before they escape.”“But….”“There is no time. She is coming, and she is angry. So check it out. We will go in there and finish it, Brood. It doesn’t matter if you like it or not. It is too dangerous and we are going to end whatever is down there.”Jason had no idea what kind o
‘This is bad. This is very very bad.’Jason stared at the crack on the ground with a frown. He thought the corrupted land was beneath the spider mines, Brood’s lair. However, it seemed to be extended beyond his scope of imagination. He felt the pulsating mutated life roaming beneath the ground, and he had to use a lot of willpower to suppress himself from roaring. The mutated monster within him smelled the delicacy. Still, alerting them wouldn't be a good thing for them at the moment. Only two Grandmasters were at Light Shone while the others followed the bandit exterminators in secrecy. Only a Grandmaster could face a hunter, and anything above would be too much for this world.The red mist leaking through the crack corroded the mana in the surroundings.‘Is there a way to stop it from spreading? Should I repair the crack? But we better deal with whatever is inside first.’Jason didn't feel like angering Amelia anymore.‘I better see Brood. She must know what happened here before.’H
“You… You are Jason.”“I am.”Jason smiled at the man as he finally opened his eyes. He felt relieved to slip away from Amelia’s fiery gaze. “My… My arm….”The player panicked as he hurriedly inspected his arm. “The wound….”“It is gone now. Honestly, it wasn’t a wound. It was an infection.”Jason shrugged.“What exactly happened? I don’t think you were in Spider Mine.”The lower level of the Spider Mine was a forbidden place. Even if it weren’t, very few would dare to wander into the swarm of spiders. “No, Jason. I was working in the Northern Mine. We had a small quack at the lowest level, and a new crack popped up in the floor.”“And you were the closest to it?”“Yes.”“How big is this crack, did anyone else come into contact with it?”Jason didn’t want to drag out the discussion.This wasn’t exactly unexpected, but an open crack meant there was a hidden space underneath the mine that was contaminated by radiation. He needed to find out how big the hidden space was. ‘I really h
“Jason! We need to see Jason!”“What is going on?”Amelia came out of the house as she heard the loud voice. No one dared to shout in front of their home, and she wondered why Jason’s loyal guards didn’t act. “Madam…!”“Grandmaster Amelia! We… We need help. He can’t log out, and we don't know what to do.”“Hm?”Amelia frowned as he looked at the people from Jason’s world. She knew these were the selected people of the Crystal Pulse. Even though Samson and the other guards prevented this group of people from entering the house, they also looked worried. She looked at the man they brought in, and her eyes widened for a moment. There was a purplish wound on the man’s arm, and a dark purple smoke came out of it. He was groaning in pain and it looked as if the man was going senile with pain. He was twitching and rolling on the ground as the others held him. More people were gathering near their house, and she knew many wanted to know what happened to the fallen man. “Mommy… That unc
“Is it online?”“Yes, Chief.”“How is the reaction?”“I think it looks very violent, Chief. There is an outburst of responses.”“Good.”Despite his words, Magnus’s face showed no hint of comfort. “And Jason?”“He will stay on Yuriel for the time being, Chief. Amelia said she is keeping him there indefinitely. As long as this problem isn’t solved.”“Do you think she knows something?”Magnus rubbed his temple. Technically, there was no way for Jason to know the gaming cabin could transport him to another world. Even if an NPC told him so, it would be impossible to believe. ‘It isn’t like he could handle that kind of secret with such grace.’He believed it would be too much for even a man like Jason Hope. However, Amelia’s behaviour made him suspicious of her knowledge about their world. She knew how to arrange security and cover blindspots against modern weapons. This shouldn’t have happened if Amelia was from a magical world. Besides, her plan looked almost flawless, and even Magn
