“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

    ‘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

    “Is he crazy?” “We should help him.” “Help? How? Do you even have a knife?” “Even if we help, we won’t be able to stay in town after that.” “Damn it. But he is doing the right thing.” Jason cared little about what players thought. He simply looked at the five men that surrounded him. One sword and four spears. Nothing looked good enough. The fan-shaped formation was too obvious. The one with the sword was standing closest to him. These were simply the basics regarding each weapon's reach. However, he was ready to follow through with his actions. He said nothing. The moment the man with the sword placed his hand on the waist, Jason moved. He delivered a kick into the man’s hand, just as he was about to touch the hilt, followed by a knee to the face. He felt the familiar feeling of blood spraying across his knee with slight pain. His body wasn’t used to this kind of attack, but his bones could endure with their newfound strength. Jason followed the first attack with a sl

    "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

    294 - Daddy is Hurt

    '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

    291 - How Am I Supposed TO Find Them?

    “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
