“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.’
‘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. While everything in the surrounding hag showed signs of destruction and annihilation, It absorbed the energy from the black hole to power up itself. The spaceship looked as if it had the most advanced technology available, and the bright lighting emitting from it gave a sense of liveliness in the empty and broken space.The energy shield around it lit up from time to time, burning up t
‘I am back. What a relief….’Jason felt relieved when he found himself back in the familiar room. He was back on Yuriel, and he was home. The time he spent away was much less in this simulation, but it was still away from his loved ones. Also, this simulation was eventful, where he had to interact with many new things daily. ‘Hm…?’A smile crept up as he felt the rapid footsteps approaching him.He missed these two a lot.“Daddy!”The little bundle of joy fell into his arms. “Hanna… Eh…?”Jason felt something was wrong when he felt the wetness on her face. “Hig… Hig… Daddy… I miss you.”“Hm?”Jason felt baffled by her words.It was still dark outside, and everything looked the same as when he left Yuriel. Ah… Did they change?’Amelia and Hanna had different clothes compared to what he remembered them wearing when he was dragged away. ‘But why aren’t they wearing night clothes?’This wasn’t Hanna’s pyjamas, and Amelia had clothes she usually wore during the day. “I was only gon
“Is it done?”Jason looked at the writings on the eggshell.His blood started drying as Amelia wrote on it in some ancient language. He knew this was the one she had used before to bind Nyx to Hanna. He wanted to learn this from her but still hadn’t found time to do so. “It is done. Now we just have to get one drop of Hanna’s blood.”Amelia looked at Hanna with a smile.“Eh… Will it hurt, Mommy?”Hanna tried to act brave, but Jason saw signs of worry hidden in her face. “Of course not. Have I ever hurt you?”“Noooo.”“Well then, I am not going to hurt you now. Come on, give me your hand.”Jason smiled from the side, looking at the interaction between the two. Amelia wasn’t verbal, but her love for Hanna was obvious. She treated Hanna like a real daughter, just like he did.“Come here.”Amelia pressed his index finger on Hanna’s thumb, and the latter closed her eyes.Jason looked at Amelia and she had a smile on her face. Jason knew Amelia was more than powerful enough to take a dro
