“Mommy, why are we here?”Hanna clenched tightly into Amelia’s neck as she looked around through the dark trees. She didn’t come out at night because she didn’t like the darkness. Of course, Hanna didn’t fear the dark when her parents were there, but she didn’t like the darkness that brought her terrible memories. She tightened her hand around Nyx, wondering why Mommy brought her and Daddy here. Just in a blink, Mommy dragged both of them somewhere far away from their room. She only felt Mommy stopping after she thought they were far from other people. “We are here to help Daddy, okay?”“Okay, Mommy.”Hanna’s eyes focused on the beautiful orbs floating around her daddy. She wanted to touch them, but he was standing a bit far from her reach.…“What should I do?”Jason looked at Amelia in confusion. He didn’t expect her to drag them away from the city in the middle of the night. However, he admired Amelia’s decisiveness to bring Hanna as they came out. It was a risk to leave Hanna

“Daddy! Daddy! I need a yellow orb. It feels nice.”“Meow!”This one? Do you need more?”“Yes, Daddy!”…“Sigh!”Amelia sighed in a low voice not to interrupt Hanna’s playtime. After the night’s incident, she felt more appreciative of the time she had with them.Hanna wanted to see the void orbs after things calmed down. She refused to sleep and was playing with different orbs as Jason experimented with them.‘These orbs represent elements, but they don’t carry the power of those Magic Spheres unless he wished them to do so.’Amelia saw how Jason commanded the void orbs. They stood behind him when he first summoned them, but each orb moved according to his will. Once they completed the order, they returned back to their original place, completing the fan shape. The positions these orbs took gave Jason a dignified look with each of those orbs with different colours. Also, Jason could change the type of Magic Sphere each orb represented, which was the first thing Amelia wanted to con
“What is your summoning spell? What does it summon?”“It is an Arcane Spawn. Its strength depends on me. So I guess it is not going to be too strong.”Jason wondered why he never heard about a summon having strength proportional to the wizard. This was what he felt from the new summoning spell he had in his mind. The creature coming out of it had extreme magic resistance and high physical defence, making it one of the most resilient summonses he ever heard of. “I never heard of such a creature.”Amelia knew a few summons who had strength proportional to the summoner, but there never was an Arcane Spawn. These were known as growth-type summons which would aid the wizard in the future. The growth-type summons also had strength limits, except for mighty beings like Archangels who had the strength to devastate entire star clusters. However, this summon would be extremely useful to Jason at this stage of growth depending on the summon.Also, a unique spell wouldn’t have a given name with
Within the next couple of days, the news of Jason’s failure spread across Alexandria like wildfire. The effect was at its peak in Heaven’s Gate and the towns where the players gathered. The news spread across Yuriel and Earth through players. The Endless Forum exploded with arguments, insults, and debates when the NPCs brought the news to the players. The people back on Earth reacted with different reactions to Jason’s downfall. Some believed Jason was a loser who just wanted to show off. The others believed this was Jason’s retribution for his arrogance. However, there were very few genuine fans who were sad about Jason’s failure.There were even a couple of tv shows where some people trashed Jason for his failure. Among all these, the most silent group became the Crystal Pulse.There were no official statements regarding Jason, and the exclusive players showed no reactions to the incident. They simply performed their tasks of clearing the forest, mining, and training along with
“You are going to leave that manor!”“I am not going to leave my teacher’s manor. And I am leaving with the teacher when he leaves.”Charlie didn’t back down in front of his father’s words. He stood across the room, away from his father, brother, and their family butler. There was a flash of surprise on the older man’s face when his youngest son argued back at his words.Charlie had always been the obedient son. He rarely argued with his parents. Even after his illness limited his path, Charlie simply endured it. The behaviour he showed today looked completely opposite to the obedient child he had been.Jason's departure from Heaven's Gate wasn’t a secret to anyone. Most people expected him to run away in shame as he failed the assessment. However, a retreating lion was still a lion. As much as people saw the opportunity to take something away from Jason, no one dared to make the first move against the Mad Wizard.Even without magic, Jason Hope was a warrior who could challenge wizar
“Brother, are we really leaving?”“Yes. We have to.”Dimitri gently patted Ingra’s head. This was their home since the beginning, but they had no home left. “Are you sad?”“No, brother.”Peri was among the younger kids listening to a story told by little princess Hanna while they awaited for the preparations to end. The little princess sat on her own on her white tiger’s belly as she told her story with great interest. It wasn’t in its cat form, and Dimitri felt amazed whenever he saw this creature change its body size as it pleased. Some kids like Peri listened to the story with interest while others were there to get close to the tiger. Whichever the reason was, they kept all the children awake at the early dawn while almost all the adults prepared for their departure. The sun was yet to come up, but everyone was busy with something. “You should take care of Peri while we travel, okay?”Dimitri wondered if it was too much to ask from Ingra, but this was all he could do. “Broth
“Family Head, we are going to take a lot of heat.”“I know. But that is all we can do for him.”“I hope Charlie will be okay….”“Don’t worry, Mom. They will do anything to keep Charlie safe.”Kaden held their sobbing mother as they watched the long line of people and carriages walking toward the teleportation gate in the dark. They weren’t the only people watching this departure from a distance. Some eyes may look for the comfort of Jason Hope leaving Heaven’s Gate. That man had too many enemies, and failing the wizard tower assessment lowered his value. If an enemy like the Will of God came after Jason while he was in the city, many would have suffered. His departure was a relief to many people, and some simply appreciated this powerful madman leaving their city. However, Kaden knew there were many who lurked in the dark, waiting for the opportunity. An opportunity to take down the behemoth and gain a name. An opportunity to take down the one they despise the most. An opportunit
