2024-02-04 02:17:55“The Endless? Isn’t that the name of the game? Is it a coincidence or is there a meaning behind it?”
Jason whispered in confusion.
He had never heard of magical spheres existing within the real world, and he had never heard about making a contract to become a wizard. Besides, he thought this world had knowledge about breaking the genetic shackles. Instead, he seemed to be in a world restricted by the genetic shackles.
Also, Jason felt it was weird for this world to be called The Endless.
“Why is this world called The Endless?”
“Eh?”
He saw the smarter twin giving him another weird look.
However, the man worried about his brother whose life was hanging at the point of the sharp ice.
“Because… Because this world has no end?”
“No end? You better explain that to me.”
Jason knew his question was raising the suspicion, but he had no choice.
If there was no other choice, he might have to end the life of these two to keep his identity a secret.
“There… There is no end to our world. No one knows how big it is or how many continents are there. The magic domains spread across all known continents, but even those areas are almost infinite. Then there are dark lands and chaotic domains where humans can’t live.”
“Hm? What about magic spheres?”
“Magic Spheres?”
The other party looked confused.
“Sigh. How many magic domains are there?”
“Eh… Six?”
“Not seven?”
“No… Only Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Life, and Death….”
The man looked even more confused.
‘So it is similar to the six known spheres, but there is no seventh sphere.’
Jason fell into thought.
“Hm… Are there places where two or more magic domains clash?”
“Clash…? There are places where some magic domains come into contact, but there are clear boundaries. As far as we know, the most domains in contact are two.”
“Hm… So… One needs to make a contract with a magic being to become a wizard. Am I correct?”
“Yes?”
Jason saw the man looking at the frozen path of ice in confusion.
“Then… Can a person make more than one contract?”
“More than one? But… What is the use?”
“No, I mean more than one contract with beings from multiple domains.”
“Ah… Why would anyone do that? I mean… No powerful being will tolerate such disrespect. But… There are cases where one can make multiple contracts, but only those very weak magical beings will accept such a thing.”
“So?”
Jason raised his brow.
“So?”
The man looked puzzled.
“So what is wrong with that? That will give the wizard the power of multiple domains, right?”
“Eh… It does… But those weaker magical beings can only bring so much to the table. The wizard will only be able to use weak spells, and it will affect everything including the spell-casting speed.”
…
‘This is weird. The magic system is similar to Magic Spheres, and the failure of multiple contracts is similar to those who have two or more Magic Spheres. None of those people advance too far. If that is the case, why does our wizard don't need contracts?’
Jason pondered for a moment.
“What if someone can feel Mana but don’t get a contract?”
“Ah… They can’t be a wizard….”
“Then what about basic spells?”
Jason waved his hand.
“Arcane Shield.”
The blue shield manifested in front of him.
“That is a basic ability of any ability user. People like my brother are extra sensitive to Mana, and people like him have a higher chance of getting a successful contract. Even if one can feel Mana, they need to be accepted by a magical being to become a Wizard. The abilities of the Wizard will depend on the power of the being who makes the contract with him.”
‘What the hell is going on?’
Jason felt this sounded more and more like the Magic Sphere system but in a weird way.
‘Can it be that we… Wizards are making a contract with some unknown being? That justifies why some can be wizards, and some can only be warriors.’
Then he had another problem.
Who made the contract with him?
According to Amelia, he was never on the weak side. If so, the one who made the contract must be an exceptionally powerful magical being. However, he had no idea of such an arrangement.
‘But there are no magical domains in Yuriel. The Magic Spheres are not in a dimension we can visit.’
As strange as it may sound, the little information he got from this person seemed to make more sense to those unanswered questions from Yuriel.
Why did everyone who felt Mana couldn’t be a wizard? Why do people with multiple spheres have fewer spells and less power?
The more it made sense, the more Jason felt confused.
‘The Endless? Where exactly am I?’
He looked at the man in confusion, wondering what else he should dig out from these people.
“What about summoning magic?”
“Summoning magic? Well… Most wizards can summon the underlings of their contractor. It also depends on the power of the being they made a contract with. Lesser beings have no underlings, and the contractor rarely appears. So….”
Jason frowned.There was no seventh Magic Domain, but he had creatures he could summon.
He thought for a moment before pointing his palm toward the ground.
“Arcane Spawn!”
A familiar creature resembling a cross-breed between an insect and a reptile crawled out of the magic circle.
“Kruck. Kruck?”
It looked around in confusion, wondering where its prey was.
“A… A Chaotic Beast.”
“Hm?”
The surprised response made Jason happy.
He was looking for a response from his captives.
“Do you know them?”
He had no idea of the origin of the arcane spawns.
“That… That is a Chaotic Beast from the chaotic domains. Only… Only the most powerful lords from the Wind domain might be able to enslave such a creature.”
‘Wind… Ah…!’
Jason realised his first spell had created a misunderstanding.
However, he finally learned the origin of the mysterious Arcane Spawn. Still, according to this man, the chaotic domain wasn’t a magic domain.
‘This doesn’t give me an answer about the Cosmic Sphere. But what is the connection between this world and the current magic system? And why am I in a place where there is no knowledge about breaking the genetic shackles? Wait!’
Jason realised there was another possibility.
‘Don’t tell me this is where it all began.’
His eyes widened with surprise and worry.
He might be in the land where the magic originated, and it might be the period when the humans first learned to break the genetic shackles.
‘Holy… Am I at the beginning?’
He looked at the scared victim with newfound interest.
He first had to learn all about this mysterious land. Only then he could find the answers he was looking for. ..........
Everyone, sorry for being away for so long. I think I am finally at a place where I can write.
My heartfelt gratitude for all your support and understanding.Hopefully, I am back.

‘What kind of a world is this?’Jason sat on a rock nearby, ignoring the two brothers. This world, The Endless, was a world that truly had no known end. They were currently in the neutral zone where no Magic Domain had their effect. The reason for the high-alert situation in this country was a prophecy foretold.According to the prophecy, the world would end the day a human broke their natural limit of power. The reason for this sudden reaction was the appearance of a person who broke their limit. Countries all around the world were looking for this man to hand him over to the magical beasts of various domains, and some were plotting to kill the person.‘I do have two extra magic nodes, but who noticed them? Was it that old man? Could it be me, or is it someone else?’He thought about the old man he met the other day. ‘But I didn't break the limit, right?’Jason tried to circulate his Mana as usual. There was no way he would have achieved some sudden improvements overnight. ‘Huh?

‘Is he serious? I wish we had a way to send a message about our arrival.’Benny felt the gaze of their kidnapper from behind, and he knew it was better not to provoke this character. “Brother… Can I call you brother? Which Lord is your contractor? Your summon is so cool, can you teach me the spell? I will not tell anyone….”‘That idiot….’His brother, Jerry, who almost died at this man’s hands looked friendly at the moment. ‘Is he thinking this man is telling the truth? How can it be true? There is no way we could find him so easily.’He didn’t believe those words for a moment. Of course, those glowing eyes were something special, but there were too many unknown things in this world.‘Besides, where is the catastrophic change?’He wondered if the prophecy he heard was a scam.There was no earth-shattering change as he expected. ‘He must be a liar. But he can summon Chaotic Beasts. His contractor is obviously powerful.’Only a mighty magical being could tame even the weaker Chaotic
Wizard Of Cosmos 268 - Happy Cooperation
“You are indeed brave, boy.”Raymond wondered if he ever faced a similar situation before. This young man had strange powers and no fear in his eyes. Besides, Benny and Jerry kept a safe distance from the man, as if they feared him. Even though these twins weren’t the best, Raymond didn’t expect them to get caught so easily.‘They are afraid of fighting this guy. So he is indeed strong.’He again tried to gauge the strength of the young man.“What exactly do you need?”He couldn’t ignore the calmness in those deep pupils.“Information. I am looking for information.”“And what is in it for me? On the house.”He placed a light drink in front of the man.“Thanks!”Raymond stared at Jason, who sipped the drink with a calm demeanour.“Well… The most easy part is learning how I advanced beyond the limit.”“You… Are you going to tell us how? I mean… Aren’t you worried?”He raised his brow.“Worried?”The young man looked puzzled.“Should I worry about you, these two, or the eight men waiti

‘Is he acting? Or is he truly oblivious?’Raymond couldn’t wrap his head around the attitude of Jason Hope. ‘But he truly is the gem. And what is with that ridiculous speed of opening Magic nodes? I wonder which powerful being found him.’To their standards, opening a Magic node would take at least three days even for a wizard who had a contract with a High Lord. ‘Then again, it is only fair. He is the first human to break the limit, and the entire world is in turmoil.’When they first checked Jason’s Magic nodes, they discovered there was no connection between the Magic Nodes behind his eyes and the others. When they told him this, he simply asked them a couple of hours to meditate and open the next Magic node.Raymond didn’t know the surprise Jason got when he learned that wizards in this world could open Magic nodes within days. Back in Yuriel, wizards would spend years to advance by simply opening Magic nodes, not to mention the time to learn spells. ‘But he is the real deal.’
Wizard Of Cosmos 270 - Corruption Of Darkness
‘Am I crazy?’ Raymond wanted to take back those words the moment they left his mouth. He wanted to act as if he had just said them out of curiosity. However, that wasn’t the reason for his words. These were the exact words he heard from the dread king. The moment Raymond informed about Jason to his contractor, he got the question of why he was informing them about Jason now. Raymond could only explain why he wanted to confirm if Jason was truly the one. It was a poor excuse, but he had no other explanation for the delay. Rymond expected some kind of backlash from his decision to delay the information from reaching his contractor. However, he felt a drastic change in the emotions of the dread king the moment he observed Jason through Raymond’s eyes. ‘Not human. Heavily corrupted by the dark dimension. That human is partially a dimensional horror.’ Just after giving him the message, the dread king cut off the connection between them out of nowhere, leaving Raymond in a daze. It

‘This level of control over spells? I never thought it was possible. This is a true world of magic.’Jason closed the book with complicated feelings. He spent a few more days studying the profound Magic of the Endless.‘That is very strange even to think.’The VR game they launched on Earth was The Endless, and this world was also The Endless. He had a nagging feeling that there was a connection between these two. However, he failed to find any direct link at the moment. Still, Jason admitted this world had the very essence of magic. The spells had been refined for ages to appoint where everything was precise. The usage of power was optimal with the best possible casting time. He spent time looking into the details and trying to refine his spells using these methods. Other than that, Jason did some soul-searching while he was here. He actively looked for the remnants of the mutation within him. Surprisingly, he found traces of mutation in his body. It was hidden within his blood

“I did it.”Raymond opened his eyes.His heart fluttered with emotions. Finally, he broke the human limit. He was no longer an average human wizard who failed to advance. ‘I should thank him. But… Where is he?’He realised he didn’t see Jason Hope among the people waiting outside. Everyone looked excited, but Jason Hope, who guided them on the path of redemption wasn't there. ‘He is the greatest contributor to mankind. I am sure our leaders will reward him for sure.’With his success, they finally found the way to advancement. Genetic mutation through corruption and the flow reversal. Both of these came from the mysterious man, Jason Hope. Jason Hope’s name would go down in history as the greatest contributor to human advancement.‘Well… I should go out.’He saw the small celebration happening outside the protected chamber. “Boom!”A loud boom shook him in his very soul. The earth shook, and the walls of their underground bunker shook. ‘What is this?’He realised the sound wasn

‘Here we go.’Jason again found himself floating in the void. He felt he had more control over his emotions than before, but that didn’t help him from feeling terrified. The same void, the same scene, and it was the same battle. The end of the universe as he called it. Jason felt the feelings had become too real for him to handle the pressure of the situation.‘How can I be so helpless? How can all these advanced civilisations be so helpless?’He felt the terror gripping his heart as he stared at the ending. …A glowing spaceship wandered at the edge of a black hole in a dark corner of the universe.

‘This place… it’s really busy…’ The hooded figure observed the bustling administrative hall in silent awe. He had expected chaos—a disorganised mess of self-proclaimed rulers who were unfit to govern. But instead, what he saw was efficiency. Decisions were being made on the spot, minor issues were being resolved instantly, and orders were being swiftly relayed.Even without direct oversight, everything flowed seamlessly. The alien humans had a system, and they had something else, something his people lacked—Instant communication. He knew of it. They called it a forum or something.‘A divided authority, yet still centralised around a leader…’ His gaze flickered toward the two empty seats in the center of the hall. A symbol of true leadership.Those seated around them were not aristocrats, not nobles, but humble-looking men and women dressed in practical, simple clothing. Yet their eyes were sharp, their minds sharper.Each of them radiated competence.‘These aren’t placeholders. These

‘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.

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-ra

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

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.

"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 s

"No, I’m saying they’re going overboard.""Isn’t that what they always do?

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
