“Look, that is Ethan, he is an NPC.”“We know who that is. It is Jason’s student from the Wizard Tower.”“Is he here to answer us?”“Why are they sending an NPC? Is this a quest?”“I don’t think we can trigger quests like this….”Various voices and whispers came from the group of players as they saw Ethan appearing from the village gate. “He is not coming here. He must be here to announce something.”…The players grew impatient as Ethan stood there in silence without making any sound. The village guards stood between the players and Ethan to prevent them from bothering Ethan.“So… They still fear the guards. I guess they have some use.”Xanders raised his brow in amusement.“They aren’t very useful at the moment, not unless they reach the Master-level within the next year.”Jason was too busy playing with Hanna to look at the situation outside the gate. “Master-level? Do you want all the guards to reach the master level? Kid, we are talking about Aura users.”Xanders looked at Jason
“Jason… Are you going to participate in the interview?”“Just get it ready. I will be there.”Jason shrugged as he walked away from Bruce. He wondered why they needed another interview about the influence of gaming from him. After all, he knew his status as a popular gamer in The Endless. Sky News basically worked for him regarding The Endless, and this interview looked quite the opposite of supporting his cause. However, Jason found it to be intriguing, and he wondered what he should speak about.‘Maybe about the recent events? Or maybe a hint about the truth? Whatever, I will just answer accordingly.’He had yet to return to Earth since he came back from the simulation, but Jason felt more at home in Light Shone. ‘Was it because I lived a long time in Yuriel in my past life, or is it because of what I have here?’He entered the house in thought.“Daddy!”“Hey!”A smile naturally came to his face when he heard Hanna’s cheerful call.“Wash up. I am almost done with Dinner.”“Alrigh

“They are testing the waters.”Xanders looked at the hurried message with complicated feelings. “Shouldn’t we take some action, Master Xanders?”Dane had a headache thinking about the situation they had at their hands. Jason just stirred up a storm on Earth, and he felt as if he was looking at an endless stream of dark clouds charging in their direction on Yuriel. ‘We all knew a war was coming, but what exactly is this?’There were cases like putting bounties on criminals in real life, but this was an entirely different situation.They would put a bounty on criminals or enemies in hiding, not on a person who was in plain sight. He felt this was similar to someone putting a bounty on the leader of a country. The others were still busy with other matters, and he hurried here the moment he heard the news. A player had recorded the video of the news coming to another faction, and Xanders confirmed the moment he logged into the game. “Do you think this is even an effective plan?”“Huh
“All these targets, they are going after those who are away from the Brodice Kingdom. He is out for blood. Your Majesty, I wonder if he is not afraid of them.”The king’s council of Alexandria looked tenser than ever. They already had the problem with the army of the Brodice Kingdom pressuring them on the borders, and there were heavy military operations from the Crystal Pulse. Although they hadn’t started the attacks on the bandits and outlaws, it was obvious it was a matter of time before they started the massacre. Although the Crystal Pulse wasn’t their direct enemy, Alexandria was under constant pressure to have another powerful party with whom to share their borders. This was especially stressful for them when there were no clear borders between Light Shone and Forestedge. The Crystal Pulse currently operated surrounding the Forestedge, and it was overstepping the boundaries of Alexandria. The strategy of securing a safe trade route was good, but the nobles across Alexandria s
“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
“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
