“Sigh. The fire spell should be Fireball, but….” Celestina didn’t finish her words, and she didn’t have to. Tolga already knew its level. “Could he be a dual attribute? Aren’t those wizards rare?” Tolga spoke in a hopeful tone. “Even if he is, where did his ability to cast spells above his level come from? We all know those who have dual or triple attributes have uneven magic spells, Temple Master. But how can they cast spells above his level?” “Can he be hiding his level?” “I thought about that too, but why would he do that? I mean… How can anyone advance so fast? It should be impossible, right?” Celestina felt relieved when she saw Tolga nodding his head in approval. If Jason Hope could advance to Wizard-level in a matter of months, what could they do against millions of aliens who entered their world? Not to forget, they all were immortal aliens. Advancing to Novice-level wasn’t impossible, but the journey from here would take decades, and Jason would have a slow and painful
“Grandmaster Xanders… Did… Did Jason really kill three Grandmasters? Did Grandmaster Amelia help him?”Amanda rarely asked questions during her time on Yuriel. She preferred to stay on the side and listen to everything the others had to say. She only voiced her opinion when it was necessary or when others wanted to hear from her.This mainly had to do with the training she had and the lack of power she felt when compared to Aegis and the US Secret Service.However, today no one else seemed to ask the right question. Grandmaster Xanders looked even more restless after Jason ended the conversation, and he simply slumped into a chair with a lost expression. “Kill? He freaking butchered them right in the middle of Heaven’s Gate. See for yourself!”Xanders threw his magic screen on the table in frustration. He knew Jason had a backer, and he suspected it was the Reapers of the Grim. There were no other organisations that could back him up at the moment, but there was no way to confirm thi
“Jason! It is me!”“Come in. It is open.”When Dane knocked on the door, he heard Jason’s voice from inside the apartment. He had his laptop in his hand.‘Gulp.’For a moment, Dane froze when he felt the cold handle of the door. The scene he saw in the footage ran through his mind, giving him a sense of deep fear. Jason’s attitude and mentality didn’t fit modern society anymore. ‘But he is the perfect fit for The Endless.’The best reaction he saw was from Grandmaster Xanders. As a mighty warrior of Yuriel, Xanders showed no signs of fear, disgust, or contempt for Jason’s actions. The only thing that worried Grandmaster Xanders was the aftermath they had to deal with.It showed the difference between the earth and Yuriel. One world bound by so-called rules and boundaries established for the good of many. At least, that was what everyone saw from the outside. In reality, the ones with the power always had many loopholes to escape from anything, and they ruled the world with an iron f
A wizard who reached Wizard-level should have 60 Magic nodes open with the ability to cast Wizard-level spells. A Master - level wizard should have 80 Magic nodes with the ability to cast Master - level spells. The number of magic nodes open within a person doesn't define his ability to cast spells. The more power a wizard circulates to cast spells, the more strain it would take on their body. Even though the power came from magic Spheres had no limit, a mortal body had a limit to the number of spells it could cast. Grand Wizards have 90 Magic nodes open and they are the ultimate power on Yuriel. ... Mana Breathing is using breathing to circulate Mana through a Wizard's body, and this is the technique to open Magic nodes. However, Jason, our no 1 player, discovers another method to open magic nodes without Mana breathing in his second simulation. That is to circulate the magic sphere's power through nodes without breathing Mana from the atmosphere. This method has many limi
“I… I don’t know.”Dane’s mind raced to all the possibilities he could think of, but he had none, except for the suspicion that Jason might know about the truth behind The Endless. If so, they all might be his oblivious pawns. “They are at Wizard-level and from two different spheres. I thought Xanders taught you guys the basics about magic and wizards.”“What? They are from Wizard-level? I had no idea… Wait! Xanders said the wizards can use magic from only one Magic Sphere. But… Aren’t you supposed to be a Novice Wizard? What is going on?”Dane’s mind filled with questions as he remembered the things Grandmaster Xanders taught them, but Jason only stared at him with a blank look.“Why do you think I want you to edit the video? Xanders will put together all that with much ease.”Jason shook his head in annoyance. How hard could it be for someone to understand this? “Wait! You can use spells of two Magic Spheres? Is that even possible? Is there a secret the others don’t know about?”D
“Hohoho… You are indeed extraordinary, My Student. I have to say you have made some wonderful discoveries. But there are a few points I like to experiment on. Maybe there is room for improvement.” Merlin’s mood lightened a lot after listening to Jason’s explanation. Circulating the power of the Magid Sphere without Mana Breathing had been around for a long time, but it had many limitations. There was abundant Mana in their world, and no one had a reason to dig deeper into Magic Sphere’s power. ‘Unless Grand Wizards doing it.’ Merlin didn’t know what was the advancement above the Grand Wizard level, and there was a theory that the Grand Wizard level was the limitation of Mana Breathing. However, circulating the power of the Magic Sphere The process should have been slower than Mana Breathing, yet his student seemed to have discovered many important points about this method. ‘It may be because he is from a world without Mana. But he said he can’t even feel his Magic Sphere when
“Gillian, good job today.” “Thank you, Ms Dawn.” Dawn smiled at her instructor, ignoring the slight pain in her arm. She instinctively pressed her palm against the fresh cut to control the bleeding. Her endurance wasn’t that high, but the cut wasn’t serious. She was better with a dagger than a sword or a spear, and they didn’t have a good spear instructor to teach them. Grandmaster Xanders covered the basics for them to unlock the skill tree, but it wasn’t enough to learn those moves. Shorter weapons had many disadvantages, but they also carried some significant advantages in close combat. Combat training was always bloody, but she learned to face them with a smile. … “Can we log out now?” “Is that going to make any difference? Are you badly hurt?” “Nah… I just want to celebrate beating up that jerk.” … Gillian stared at her friend’s face, speechless. “I thought you had no grudge against him.” “Huh? Who said that?” ‘Aren’t we supposed to hold no grudges?’ She had nothing
“Hm? A vicious monster. Is this what we invited into our world?” “My Lord, they say he is a wonderful father.” “An excellent father to a girl with green pupils. Is this the start of this conflict?” “Yes, My Lord. And his woman is mysterious. We can’t find her origin.” “Keep looking and keep your eyes open for this man’s movements.” The red-robed man with authority had a bold head and a red beard. “As you command, My Lord.” The burning sun shone on the roof of the tall tower and on the distant desert sands. … “My lady, his master, is a death wizard.” “Hm. Still, this is blatantly provoking the Will of God. He sure is unafraid. Look more into this alien man.” The charming woman in black clothes smiled down from her throne. “Yes, My Lady.” … Many similar conversations happened throughout Yuriel as the night approached the Southwestern continent. The ultimate powers of Yuriel took notice of Jason’s appearance in a remote kingdom on the edge of their world. … “Well… Are t
"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
