‘Sigh. I am finally out.’

Jason felt relieved when he finally stepped out of the village.

He now had a total of thirty-five silvers and a couple of sapphires the villagers exchanged for meat. The gems weren’t as valuable as they were on Earth, but he could earn at least another fifty silvers from these.

After breakfast, Logan and Dawn trusted him to sell the things they got from the village and bring back the money. There was a reason for those two to stay behind, and it almost cost him his life.

“Damn… I should be careful when I am talking with her….”

He almost crossed Amelia for the second time when Logan and Dawn asked him to teach them swordsmanship. Since Amelia was better than him, he looked at her instinctively. Luckily, he didn’t receive much trouble other than a sharp gaze and a terrifying little chat of ten minutes. Finally, she agreed to teach Logan and Dawn instead of him.

Even if he reached the level he was in his past life, he would never be able to match with someone

    “Young man, do you know about the Lost Kingdom?”“No, I just heard that name yesterday.”Jason had never heard about this story before.“It is a kingdom that was supposed to be where the Dark Forest is.”“Supposed to be? What is the kingdom's name?”He frowned. Rather than truth, this sounded more like a story. “You are sharp, kid. But can you bear the consequences of knowing the truth?”“I think I have to know.”Honestly, Jason started to feel like this was a game. If Xanders said the same thing to another player; especially one who didn’t know the truth behind The Endless, they would have thought this was a story with rich lore. “Very well, keep this to yourself, then. The truth is that even the name of the kingdom is erased from history.”“Huh? Are you sure there was a kingdom?”“Young man, if you explore the Dark Forest you may find many ruins.”“Then why is the name erased?”Jason raised his brow.“Listen well, young man. The story started about two thousand years ago. It says

    Jason sat inside the small stone house with Master Merlin.The living room gave a slight scent of herbs and he felt some intense mana coming from one of the rooms. He didn’t care much about that since it wasn’t very useful to him at the moment. Magic stones were good to increase the opening rate of magic nodes in a person’s body, but not until he reached the novice level. “Jason, before teaching you the magic, let me give you the knowledge about how magic works and what it is.”“Yes, Master.”“Very well then. Listen, my young student.”Jason saw a content smile on Master Merlin’s face. Of course, he knew many things about magic, but he wasn’t lying when he told Master Merlin that he was ready to learn. What he knew was the knowledge that came out during a time of catastrophe, and he never had a high enough position to learn everything. He would listen to everything even if there was no change in his knowledge.…Jason tried his best to add what he knew and listen to what he learned

  • Wizard Of Cosmos   23 - We Need To Celebrate

    ‘Hm?’Jason received an alert on his armband as he entered the Forestedge. ‘This still amazed me.’He wondered if players started to realise the alerts coming from the armband weren’t audible from outside. The sound directly came to the brain, instead of the ear. ‘What does this supposed to mean?’It was a private message from Ben or Poseidon. He was asking him to delay the transaction until tomorrow. ‘Huh? Freya and Ashley? Did they use some connections to buy the cabins? Or did they have applied before?’According to Ben, Freya and Ashley entered the game today. He was asking Jason to delay the transaction until they were ready to receive the money.Jason had to wait two weeks to get the clarification, and he didn’t think these two women would have applied to play The Endless. That questionnaire wasn’t the only thing that should be a part of the evaluation. It wasn’t hard to copy the answers. There should be some investigations involved in the process. ‘Was it because of our fig

    ‘That is a lot of people.’Jason sneaked out of the back of the Inn to avoid all the players waiting for him outside.‘The war might start within a one-year to two-year period. What should I do?’Unless he could gain enough strength, his only other option would be to leave Alexandria. ‘I will first do what I came here to do.’First, he had to scout the locations of bandits. According to Boris, there were possibly three bandit groups in the area. ‘I can get more information if I meet the mayor. But I will just go to him for rewards.’With his status as a Wizard Initiate, he could easily meet the mayor of Forestedge, but he was too lazy to do it at the moment. ‘I should buy some basic equipment.’He at least needed a pair of shoes for the time being.“Excuse me….”Jason was about to enter the small shop when a voice interrupted his thoughts.“Do you need a map?”Jason immediately noticed the armband on the man’s arm. Even without that, the white clothes made his identity obvious. “A

  • Wizard Of Cosmos   25 - Are You A Wizard Initiate?

    Jason didn’t look up as he walked into the streets of Forestedge. He was in deep thought about the situation. Early morning, neatly organised groups of bandits left the stronghold for different missions. He even noticed a couple of Elites among those people. It wasn’t a good sign for him. They weren’t a simple group of bandits. He felt depressed and didn’t want to log out until he figured out the situation. If this was simply a game, he wouldn’t care, but he knew he was running out of time. He needed a stable place to grow strong. Magic came with practice, knowledge and patience. ‘Sigh. I should wait a bit more.’It was too early and not even a single shop was open in the town. He was hungry and sleepy, but he decided to wait a bit. ‘Ah… Players. Why are they so early? Phew.’The last thing he wanted was the passionate players asking him a thousand questions. He saw a small alley and found a corner to sit and rest. “Damn… I am hungry.”“Hig… Hig….”‘Huh?’He got alarmed by the

    “Have a seat, Sir Initiate.”Simon showed the seat to Jason.“Hm….”Jason sat on the couch, but his eyes were on the two older men behind the mayor. He felt the vibe of the Elites from them.“Let’s get to the point. I am here about the bandits.”“Ba… Bandits?”Simon wiped the sweat off his forehead. He didn’t expect to hear something like this from a Wizard Initiate. ‘Was he robbed?’If so, he would be in deep trouble as the mayor.‘Which idiotic bandit would rob a Wizard Initiate? Even if they did, why let the man walk alive? Wait! Did they kill him? Then this alien must be very angry after coming back to life.’Simon wanted to strangle the stupid bandits. “Sir… We… We are ready to compensate.”“Huh? For what?”“You… Weren’t you robbed?”‘Are you dumb?’Jason simply stared at the mayor, failing to speak.“Sigh.”He took out the map after an awkward silence and placed it on the table.“There are two bandits groups, here and here….”He showed the X marks he put on the map. “Small gr

    ‘Could this be her? They called her the Queen of Nightmares, right?’He stared into the face of the innocent-looking little girl.Of course, he never saw this bandit queen in his previous life, but she was famous for her pale green eyes. He remembered that the bandit queen was among the last resistance of the South Western continent. He didn’t know if this little girl would grow up into such a ferocious existence, but it wasn’t impossible. The girl looked scared by his gaze. Jason placed the waterskin in front of the little girl and took off his cheap cloak.“Here, use this to sleep.”Even if this could be the girl that would become a ferocious bandit in the future, she was still a child looking for shelter. He adjusted himself comfortably before closing his eyes in silence. It was time to continue his mana breathing. …‘Sigh.’Jason opened his eyes in the middle of the night. Hanna was sleeping on the ground across from him.He slowly covered her with the cape before logging ou

    “How did you do that?”Jason was a bit surprised to see Hanna awake when he logged in.“I am not from this world.”Hanna was looking at him with fearful eyes.“Is that… Why… You are not afraid of me?”“Maybe.”He was still in the same spot as when he logged out.“These….”She showed him the things he left on the ground. “I will just take one bun. You can have the rest.”He didn’t try to take the cloak or the rest of the buns. He simply took one for the road before leaving the alley. …“Sir Initiate.”The moment he left the alley, he met two soldiers waiting for him. Jason realised one of them was the mayor’s personal guard. “I am Julian. I am here to deliver a message from My Lord.”“What is it?”“The meeting is ready, Sir. I am here to guide you there.”“Now?”“Yes, sir.”“Let’s go.”Jason was about to move when he realised the other guard was hesitating, looking into the alley.“Why do people think that girl is cursed?”“Sir…? She… She says weird things about people, sir. Her… He

    ‘So, this is Light Shone.’His hidden eyes scanned the streets as he walked leisurely, moving unseen alongside the startled envoys.‘Still too small, but… this is serious potential.’He had slipped out of the carriage as the guards inspected it, effortlessly avoiding their scrutiny. While his invisibility shielded him from their eyes, he still occupied physical space—and he preferred not to take the risk of being noticed.With measured steps, he blended into the bustling streets. What he saw defied his expectations.The village was alive.It wasn’t just busy—it thrived.Shops occupied every available space, their owners negotiating prices with eager customers. People bustled past him, engaged in work yet carrying an air of contentment, their movements purposeful, their faces filled with ease.This was not the Light Shone he remembered.‘Back then, it was different.’It had been just as lively, but the stench of blood clung to the air, and signs of death lurked at every corner.

    "Is this... alright, My Lord?""Yes. And pretend I was never here. Once we pass through, you won’t see me again. Do you understand? No one must know I was ever here.""Yes! Yes, My Lord!""And... no one else knows I am here, correct?" The hooded figure’s voice sharpened deliberately."N-No! No, My Lord! We... we are departing soon!" The envoy stammered, his body trembling as he hastily retreated to the far corner of the carriage.‘Sigh… How useless.’The hooded man barely spared him another glance. The Brodice Kingdom had neither the power nor the will to resist the Grand Order that had been issued. It had been nearly a decade since the last decree from the Grand Wizards, and that one had shaken the world, announcing the arrival of an immortal alien.‘But this might be the first time in centuries that they had to step in to stop a minor war.’He turned his gaze to the passing scenery outside the carriage window, watching in silence.No one, aside from the envoy and a handful of high-r

    "Grandmaster Amelia…""He’s playing with Hanna and his magic," Amelia cut Dane off before he could finish, hanging the freshly washed clothes on the line.Even after a year of constant change in Light Shone, this small household had remained the same. It was still under Amelia’s care. The village’s housing structure remained untouched as new construction projects focused on essential production facilities and accommodations for the new settlers arriving through the ongoing clearing operations. Infrastructure plans were in place, but progress was slow due to the sheer number of projects they were juggling.If Jason or Amelia had wanted, they could have easily upgraded their home—no one would have objected. After all, this small house was the heart of the Crystal Pulse, the centre of absolute power within the faction. Yet, despite its democratic structure, the organization operated with near-perfect coordination. The faction under Magnus from the Secret Service, the Saintess Guild, the

    The following day, a massive announcement took the world by storm. News spread rapidly across every platform as the World Builders—the enigmatic developers behind The Endless—finally broke their silence regarding Amelia Erwin and the controversy surrounding Jason Hope and his allies.However, the announcement wasn’t what anyone had expected.In a statement that stunned players worldwide, the World Builders declared, “There are no faults or bugs being exploited by Jason Hope or his allies. All game mechanics, items, and events associated with them are functioning as intended. As such, no corrections are necessary.”The announcement sent shockwaves through the gaming community. Many players had hoped for a clear resolution, perhaps even a punitive response toward Jason Hope and the Crystal Pulse. Instead, the World Builders stood firmly behind their design, acknowledging no wrongdoing on their part or by Jason and his people.But what followed was even more surprising.The World Builder

    "What a small place," the hooded figure muttered as he entered the heart of the Brodice Kingdom’s capital. His voice, a slightly older male tone, carried a mix of amusement and disappointment. "And why is their security so bad?" he added, his sharp eyes scanning the bustling streets.Soldiers packed every corner and alley, their inspections meticulous. Even the citizens were forced to pass through layers upon layers of security just to move about. Yet, despite the apparent vigilance, no one noticed him. Draped in a black cloak, the figure walked openly down the middle of the road, his presence going entirely undetected."Well... they have to be careful. That bounty is indeed tempting," he muttered to himself, a sly grin creeping across his hidden face. "Ah, I wish I were as young as I was back then. Maybe I could’ve finished off these weaklings myself for that reward." His voice carried a mocking tone. "The Crystal Pulse? What a bland name for such a daring organisation."He chuckled

    "No, I’m saying they’re going overboard.""Isn’t that what they always do? This isn’t the first time The Crystal Pulse has attacked players unprovoked.""We have to do something about it—fast."The discussion had devolved into an argument the moment it started. Some of the most famous gamers across the country had gathered in one place, a rare occurrence in itself. The Endless had grown too big to ignore, and even gamers who had avoided it initially had now established themselves in the challenging yet captivating world of the game.Ironically, most of them seemed to have forgotten that The Crystal Pulse was the primary reason players had been able to thrive in The Endless in the first place. It was The Crystal Pulse’s infrastructure and guidance that allowed players to survive in this mercilessly realistic game. Their success had been the beacon that drew many to the VR game considered the hardest ever created. Yet here they were, plotting ways to overthrow the very organization that

    "We move out in an hour!" Logan’s commanding voice echoed through the camp, followed by a notification on their armbands. The message was clear: time to prepare.Gillian gritted her teeth as she tightened the strap around the wound on her arm, the healing paste already numbing the pain. She had a few healing potions tucked away in her pack, but she knew she couldn’t waste them. Supplies were limited, and every soldier had been issued a fixed amount by Crystal Pulse. While the organization would do whatever it took to keep them alive, this was part of their training—learning to manage resources in the heat of battle.'I heard they’re watching us anyway,' Gillian thought, her mind drifting. Since leaving Light Shone, several Grandmasters had vanished from the village, and she suspected they were nearby, keeping a close eye on the mission. The first and most important rule for Crystal Pulse players was not to die, even if respawning in eighteen hours was an option.'Logan is confident en

    'His mutation is changing. Or... should I say improving?' Amelia observed Jason closely as the changes in his body unfolded with each passing second. The starry night-like texture on his left side began to expand subtly toward the right, slowly overtaking the black, armour-like skin. However, the transformation seemed restrained, as though the artefact lacked the power to fully support Jason's demand.The process lasted nearly an hour before the dagger, once brimming with ominous energy, dulled completely, its power entirely drained.Jason’s body underwent slight changes—a small part of his pitch-black armour faded, replaced by the cosmic texture of the starry night. Finally, he opened his eyes, feeling a rare sense of relief. The artifact's mutation had been neutralised; it would no longer corrupt anyone or anything. For the first time in a long while, he felt as though a small part of his burden had been lifted.“Well... you can’t go out like that!” Amelia’s voice pulled him from his

  • 296 - Burden

    Jason’s gaze returned to the towering demon before him, but he didn’t feel it was worth his attention. His glowing eyes simply stared at the massive figure for a brief moment before he swung his right arm through the air with effortless precision. It was as if he was clawing at the distant figure. A second later, several glowing white lines expanded across the space, moving faster than the eye could track. They reached the demon in an instant, cutting through its form. Behind it, the underground mountain erupted into a cloud of dust, disintegrating as though it had been struck by an invisible force.For a heartbeat, the Greater Demon stood there, frozen in place as if nothing had happened. Then, with a sickening sound, its colossal body crumbled to the ground in pieces, diced cleanly by Jason’s strike.“Screech!” A high-pitched wail echoed across the cavern as panicked creatures scattered, their movements erratic and mindless in the wake of their apex predator’s death.
