- Hahaha. He won’t kill him! That is my Amelia - My Amelia? Didn’t you hear the last part? ‘Do you know him better than me?’ She is so sure no one knows Jason better than her. Is this what having a full-blown relationship with a virtual character means? - Don’t forget she predicted Jason’s victory the last time also. We may be looking at another similar triumph. - But this time, it isn’t a game. Jason will fight in real life against a man who is stronger than average people and never lost a fight. Also, Jason won’t have a sword in his hands. - All of you! Jason is the one playing The Endless, we should support him. Go, Jason! - He is too arrogant, I hate him! - Go away! He stole hot Amelia and cute Hanna, we all hate him. - Come on. We all know this is the one fight he isn’t going to win. Look at the difference in the physical strength of the two parties. - But Jason is confident, and so is Amelia. - Are you all talking about the fight? What about the knowledge Amelia has ab
The final media conference was usually the one where two parties would exchange their fighting spirit as a show. The enraged reaction from Kane should have been normal, but many people considered Kane crossed the line to calling Jason a nobody when Jason was an orphan. However, the way Jason left the conference leaving behind a stunned Kane left a deep impression across the world. He simply stunned the entire crowd with a single line and a chilling gaze. The arguments only lasted for a few minutes, and then the excitement erupted for the upcoming battle. Jason finally showed anger and a slight interest in the fight. Still, many experienced fighters showed concerns about the outcome of the fight with Jason being out for blood.Everything seemed to be revolving around the upcoming battle as the promotional clip from Sky News dragged many eyes to it. An hour later from the confrontational media conference, Sky News did an hour-long documentary about Jason’s preparation for the battle w
“Is he here?”“No! That addict was playing the game even a couple of hours ago. I wonder if this will be his excuse for losing the battle.”“Excuse? Did you see those eyes yesterday? Damn… I am going to have nightmares for days.”“Well… He is not going to win. Rates are just going up more and more since he is late.”“Two more hours. At least it is not boring.”..The whispers surrounded the entire stadium as time passed.The venue for the fight was the most extensive available stadium in the area, and some companies spent an enormous amount of money to cover it up to make the environment darker for the afternoon fight. The stadium started getting crowded almost the day before, and various entertainment events were arranged to entertain the audience who came to see the most anticipated MMA fight of the century. Famous singers, dancers and various entertainers came to the venue to keep everyone entertained before the fight. However, the voice grew as the time for the fight got closer.
“Holy! Now that is a hook.” Everyone looked surprised for a moment by Jason’s right hand, including Kane. The stadium fell into a momentary silence with the crushing blow, and Kane looked disoriented by the strike. He wasn’t ready for the strike, and there was no expectation to see such massive power from Jason. Besides, Kane was taller than Jason, and the distance Jason had to cross was longer than what Kane should cross to reach Jason. However, the surprise didn’t last for more than a second. Jason’s right hand again reached Kane’s face like a rocket. “Crack!” The mics near the ring recorded a clear cracking sound as Jason’s fist connected with Kane’s skull. Kane’s head whipped to the side with uncontrollable force, and a bit of blood splattered to the side. However, Jason wasn’t done with his assault. His left hand followed with a punch to Kane’s ribcage, followed by a similar right hand. “Crack! Crack!” Two more crushing sounds followed the brutal assault. Finally, Ja
“Damn! Damn! Damn!”“What? Are you still watching the fight? Can’t you just give it up? I lost all my allowance by betting on Kane. That stupid musclehead. Totally useless.”“No. It is the Crystal Pulse!”“What? Do they have to boast more? I am telling you… If this wasn’t their area….”The player with dark circles under his eyes clenched his fists in anger. He lost so much money in the fight a few hours ago. However, there were many changes within the player community within this short time. First, there were no more arguments about who owned Light Shone. Even if Jason failed the assessment in The Endless, Jason Hope was a more complex man to the players. He was the true alpha of The Endless who could be as scary as the real him on Earth. The order in Light Shone looked much better, and the regular players showed much more interest in the Crystal Pulse and its activities. Of course, the Crystal Pulse wasn’t a terrible place for regular players who didn’t register or got selected a
“This way!”Gillian led the way into the forest in haste. The road they started building was coming into shape and travelling into the forest became easy. The only downside was the effort they had to put into developing a single road. Clearing, preparations and material gathering took days. Instead of calling it playing, it felt like manual labour. If not for the fact that their pay was good and their gameplay wasn’t as boring as it looked, they would have given up long ago. The daily training and the feeling of getting stronger as the days passed made it exciting for them. All the hard work they had to put in looked worth it when they could see the road they were taking and where it was headed. ‘But it is nothing to them….’She thought of the Earth wizard and his students who made roads within a couple of hours. They came here with Jason, and they looked more like workers compared to real wizards. Also, they seemed to be really respectful toward Jason and showed a slight hint of
“I am leaving, then….” “I will take care of her, and we will wait until you are back.” There was an awkward silence between them. Jason kept his distance from Amelia and Hanna. Last time, Nyx got pulled in with him in the space wrap, as Amelia called it. He might drag the two people he had to protect into danger if something went wrong. Hanna was still asleep, and he couldn’t imagine how sad she would be if she knew he was leaving for an unknown period. ‘The warning is useful. I don’t have to drag them into this.’ He didn’t know how long he would be away, and what kind of world he would fall into. ‘It won’t be the same as the last time, right?’ He thought of the children he trained. He thought of them many times and wished what he taught them was enough for them to have a safe life. ‘Sigh.’ His eyes darted to the silver-haired beauty who had her gaze fixed on him. He didn’t know what was going on in her mind, but he knew the one who sent him the message through the armban
‘Where am I?’ Jason slowly opened his eyes and he felt something brushing against his skin. “Crack! Crack” The steel straps shattered with the steel bed as he moved his body with no effort. ‘Huh?’ Jason looked at the shattered steel in a confused mind. ‘I was… Like how it ended in the previous simulation.’ He realised he couldn’t feel any ground beneath him. ‘I am floating….’ His body flooded with a familiar power, and his body had mutated into how he was at the end of the last simulation. Half of his body had skin that resembles the void filled with stars, and the other half had the scaled skin covered in spikes. ‘What is this place?’ He realised he was inside a manmade structure. ‘A factory? How did I get here? And what is this?’ He looked at the broken metal beneath him. The light came down into the massive building through the broken roof. Everything looked rusted and old, but Jason noticed some metals showing signs of resistance to the weather. ‘What are these?
