‘Infamous?’ Jason stared at the man who spoke to him in a mocking tone. He was in an expensive black robe decorated with gold. It looked like some sort of uniform of the people of the Heaven’s Reach tower. All the other wizards, including the receptionist, wore similar attire. However, Jason noticed the robe this particular person wore had some extra decorations, and the Mana surrounding him was denser. ‘Am I supposed to know him?’ He frowned, trying to find any trace of memory of this face. The man had white skin and a thick black beard, and he wore a hood to cover his head. His eyes carried a hint of anger and resentment disguised with superiority. There was a trace of a smile on his face that matched his mocking tone. “Do you think crippling a city lord of a tiny city in a tiny kingdom is an impressive feast for a wizard?” “No, I don’t think it is a big feast. So, do you think being the loudmouth of the only wizard tower in a tiny kingdom is a big feast?” Jason tilted his h
“You are just as stubborn as your master. But I guess you have all the right to be so. Even without magic, your aura is one of the strongest I have ever seen.”Celestina took a long sip from her cup of tea to calm her nerves. She couldn’t figure out how this young man changed his disposition so easily. He was now playing with his child and her cat as if he wasn’t going to kill the vice tower master of her wizard tower a few minutes ago.‘Is that a mutated cat? I have never seen a mutated animal with a mutated crystal coming out of its body.’She wondered if she could study this creature, but she received a furious glare from the silver-haired woman. Celestina knew this woman was strong, but she realised she couldn’t measure her level.‘Who is this woman? She also has silver hair. She must be this child’s mother. The little girl has those green pupils. She is very lucky to have parents like this. They are strong enough to protect her and doting enough to keep her despite other people’s
“So, is it you who wanted to meet me?”“Yes, My Lord.”Coal respectfully lowered his head. He was standing in front of a Master Wizard. A real living Master Wizard. He paid a hefty sum to meet such a powerful person, and this was the best he could afford. Without being a royalty or a special noble lineage, he had no way of meeting with a Grand Wizard.“What do you want from me? You know I am a busy person, right? I hope you are not here to waste my time with some nonsense.”“I… I am not… My Lord.”Coal shook in fear when he heard those dignified words. The room they were in was already luxurious beyond his imagination. He couldn’t imagine how rich someone had to be to afford to live in such luxury. Besides, this was just one room inside the wizard tower, and he did not know about the other places. Rumours said that this Master Wizard was a subordinate of the Angel of Life; the Grand Wizard of Life. Coal didn’t doubt this information for a second. This was the central continent, and
“We are finally through!”“Hahaha… We are inside a city!”“We are the first group to do this after the Black Steel Guild, but they have Jason Hope. Tian Fang, we should have a party, man. Are you streaming this? Let me start streaming too.”‘I… This isn’t something so big to celebrate.’Tian Fang didn’t feel as happy as his friends. He saw the NPCs, both commoners and guards, looking at them as if they had gone crazy.They were the first group to enter a city since the Black Steel Guild from the USA did it. However, he didn’t feel their achievement was glorious, as their friends celebrated it to be. Jason Hope clearly said small kingdoms would allow the players to enter the cities with a little hassle, and that was what happened.Their spawn kingdom was so small, it only had several cities, including the capital city. They just had to run some errands for the mayor of their spawn town and the envoy to get a pass. The tasks weren’t even difficult, and they easily got into the good si
“Is that a display? Where did that come from?”“It is a magic display. I heard Grandmaster Xanders saying Jason bought it before he left for Heaven’s Gate.”“Wow! Maybe it is to hold meetings like this.”“Seriously, a magic world has technology like that? I mean… Long distance communication.”“Hey… This is a game!? We are all inside a game; on one server. How is it difficult for the developers to implement this?”“I know it is a game, but isn’t it against the lore?”“Are you worried about the lore right now? This is The Endless. I can’t even believe it is a game.”…Gillian listened to the others in silence, but her eyes darted around the small hut they built for the gathering. The meeting was for the exclusive players, and all the other players had to leave the area. Grandmaster Xanders assigned guards to protect the entire venue to prevent anyone from reaching it. ‘They are going this length to keep this meeting a secret? What is so important?’The key problem they had was the lack
‘I don’t get this.’Jason closed the book he was reading since he failed to concentrate. He looked at Hanna, who was playing with Nyx in the garden. He spent the last two weeks researching various magic patterns of different spheres, and he slowly tried his best to circulate cosmic power through nodes in these patterns to find the magic he could use.Rest of the time he stayed either making magic scrolls and runes or playing with Hanna. Other than that, he took Amelia and Hanna on strolls around the city and wrote things he learned on planet Colmar. He spent time discussing these things with Amelia and chatting with her when they both had nothing to do. Amelia spent time with Hanna in Master Merlin’s house when he was in the wizard tower, and she trained Butch and others in combat. She also started refining some things he wrote, and they both decided to hold off training Hanna for another year. She was still young, and it felt unnecessary to burden her with training when they coul
“Daddy, where is this?”Hanna looked out of the window of the moving carriage with worried eyes. She held Nyx in one hand and latched on to her mother’s neck with the other.Everything looked so beautiful outside the carriage. There were beautiful lights, beautiful fountains, and even beautiful decorations. Even though it was night, she felt everything looked even better than the daytime.The enormous building she saw on the side was colourful and appealing.The only problem she had was the people. There were so many of them walking along the road in the same direction as them. They all wore beautiful clothes, but there were too many of them. The uncles who kept other people away from her, mommy, and daddy didn’t come with them today. She felt nervous, even though she liked everything else about that night.“That is the palace. You know… The place where the king lives.”“Oh… the palace.”It piqued her interest when she thought about the stories her daddy told. She wondered if there w
“Meow!”Nyx forgot all about food when she felt how nervous her master was. She looked at all the humans, feeling the urge to kill them all. Her little master feared them, and she thought of getting rid of them.“Nyx!”“Meow!”She curled in her master’s embrace when she heard the forceful but low voice. It was her master’s mother and her friend’s woman, the scary woman who wanted to kill her before.“She is strong. She can handle this.”“Meow!”Ever since she made a contract with her master, Nyx understood their language. She knew what her master’s mother was talking about and didn’t want to argue with her. She snuggled against her master, trying to comfort her as much as possible.‘Weak humans.’She loathed these weaklings who troubled her master. …“So, that is Jason Hope.”“Yes, Your Majesty. And that is his woman, Grandmaster Amelia, and their adopted child, Hanna. She has cursed pupils.”“He seemed to be out of place. Or is it that he simply doesn’t care? His woman seemed to be
