2024-06-03 19:17:19- Hahaha, he did it again! I wonder how many people Jason traumatised this time. I am sure those conspiracy theorists are fuming right now.

…
“How is damage control?”
Magnus sighed as he leaned against the chair.
The topic he saw on the game forum was much milder compared to the ripple effects caused by Jason’s actions.
First, his release of the guide to Mana Breathing had brought a new light to The Endless. There were many guides on Mana Breathing online for a while, but none of them had the detailed knowledge of precision like the one Crystal Pulse released.
Of course, everyone guaranteed it wasn’t easy to learn Mana Breathing through a video, but it wasn’t impossible. Also, this video had the credibility of the biggest name in the game, Jason Hope.
‘Not only guilds are reacting, but many small nations are also acting up.’
Many countries across the world lacked the resources to focus their entire strength on The Endless, and this one video was enough to bring a new life to them.
The players who gave up or were on the verge of giving up also started returning to the game. However, none of this caused them to take drastic measures to protect Jason Hope. What caused the most disturbing undercurrent was his words. The casual mention of equality caused many people to question various things.
It may be their landlord, corporate, and even spread into their local governments, but this only showed how big of a celebrity Jason was, and no important parties cared about it; especially when they had no time for another major election before the end.
However, Jason's words caused those who were at the top mid-level to become suspicious of everything.
This was the group of people who had enough connections or the high up in the hierarchy to catch the wind about The Endless but did not have enough to know the exact truth. Jason’s casual words made these people get extra suspicious about the truth behind The Endless.
‘I never thought there would be so many eyes on Jason.’
Honestly, Magnus didn’t think of this group to be this troublesome.
“Chief… We didn’t do anything….”
“Hm?”
Magnus came back to reality with his subordinate's voice.
“Nothing?”
“No, Chief. It is like… Walking on eggshells.”
“Sigh. I guess so. But we still have to start monitoring these people. keep an eye out for them and their further actions.”
He got a very unpleasant call from his superior about unwanted people snooping around government secrets.
If they reacted with drastic measures, there wouldn’t be any secrets to hide. This was the first time Magnus fell into any kind of trouble since he retired as a field agent.
‘Is this even our fault? I don’t think even Jason knows the truth about The Endless. What are we even supposed to do?’
To be honest, Magnus didn’t expect even Jason to keep a level head if he knew that the world was truly coming to an end and that everything inside The Endless was true.
‘It will be too much even for him. I mean… He is just a civilian, how can he stomach all the killing he did.’
No matter how brave Jason was, Magnus believed this to be too much for any unprepared human. Even among the first group to learn the truth, few broke, and those were the most strong-willed people he knew.
“Sigh. Can we just keep this man on Yuriel? I feel like he is no longer suited for this world.”
Magnus didn’t notice his words leaving others stunned, but there were a couple of nods from here and there as some even approved his words.
…
“What are they doing, Leader?”
“Hm…?”
The older man in the black cloak looked at the video the player showed him.
He wondered what magic these immortal aliens used to capture such lively images of events, and his only working eye glimmered with interest.
‘They must be recording everything we do like this. I think this guy is doing it even now. But this information is invaluable.’
He thought about how he should sell this piece of information to the Broadice Kingdom.
“They brought hundreds of horses during the Anniversary festival and they are using all these horses to send out players. I am wondering what they are doing. I mean… They earned a lot in that week, no?”
The older man tapped his eyepatch, ignoring the mummers of the immortal human.
“Hey, come here.”
He signed at his trusted subordinate, asking him to come closer.
“Send a message to the Brodice Kingdom Envoy. Tell him I have a piece of news about Light Shone. I will give it to him for the right price.”
The old man whispered, trying to hide his words from the annoying immortal.
“You did very well.”
He threw a couple of gold coins at this greedy bastard who sold out one of their own.
He had no reason to value that gold at the moment. The price for this piece of news would be much higher than any other deal he made with the Envoy of the Brodice Kingdom.
“Thank… Thank you, Leader.”
“Hahaha… Go on. Go on.”
The old man broke into laughter as he saw the pitiful immortal growling for the coins.
‘Others might fear them, but I know how to handle these greedy dogs.’
He took pride in his intelligence.
“But… Leader….”
“Hm?”
“Can you tell me what they are doing? I mean… The Crystal Pulse.”
‘How annoying, but I am in a good mood today. I will earn quite a bit with this news.’
The old man rubbed his ragged ashen beard before giving out a sly smile.
“They are on the hunt.”
“Hunt. Leader? But… They have the forest….”
“I am not talking about animals.”
The old man felt annoyed by the idiot.
“They are going to hunt the bandits and thieves around Forestedge and gather the surrounding villages in one place.”
“Huh? A unification? For what?”
“For war, of course. They are going to erase any surrounding threat. It will solidify the trade routes and give them more manpower. Also, this will remove any assistance enemies will gain from those who know the area. They will also occupy strategic points to outflank enemies ....”
The old man suddenly swallowed the rest of the words.
He was giving up too much, and anyone would suspect his identity if he knew this much. For a veteran like him, grasping this much detail was nothing based on the preparations made by the Crystal Pulse.
If he spoke too much, there would be a problem about his true identity. Especially if this immortal weakling had a way to show his speech to the others. He couldn’t take any risks with these undying, greedy, bastards.
‘They will flank the enemies and devastate them. The Brodice Kingdom is going to suffer. Hehehe… They should pay me a lot for uncovering this. But it is not like they can do anything about it. Only a front assault will do, and then they will bleed rivers against Light Shone. What a mess!’
There was another part this old man wondered about.
‘How will the Brodice Kingdom face that immortal monster’s revenge?’
He wondered what would happen when Jason Hope started stalking the dark. If the Brodice Kingdom failed to capture him during the war, they would have an unkillable monster stalking them for revenge in every possible way.
‘Well… It is there proble….’
“Boss! Boss!”
One of his subordinates barged in with a cramped piece of parchment in his hands.
“They… They issued a bounty.”
“Huh? Who?”
“The… The Brodice Kingdom.”
“What?”
“The old man jumped up from his seat.
“Ten… Ten thousand Magic Crystals for catching Jason Hope alive.”
“F*ck!”
The old man cursed out loud.
“This won’t last long.”
The bounty meant an all-out challenge and an invitation for war. They just have to wait for the response from Light Shone.
He knew everyone was impatient after the appearance of the Master Rune, which was the common name they used for the unparalleled Death Knight rune. Still, he didn’t expect them to be this rash.
It was obvious someone else was pulling the strings behind the Brodice Kingdom, and Jason Hope wasn’t an easy target to deal with.

“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

“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
Wizard Of Cosmos 290 - Boss Mode
‘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

“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

“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

"No, I’m saying they’re going overboard.""Isn’t that what they always do? This isn’t the first time The Crystal Pulse has attacked players unprovoked.""We have to do something about it—fast."The discussion had devolved into an argument the moment it started. 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

Jason’s gaze returned to the towering demon before him, but he didn’t feel it was worth his attention. His glowing eyes simply stared at the massive figure for a brief moment before he swung his right arm through the air with effortless precision. It was as if he was clawing at the distant figure. A second later, several glowing white lines expanded across the space, moving faster than the eye could track. They reached the demon in an instant, cutting through its form. Behind it, the underground mountain erupted into a cloud of dust, disintegrating as though it had been struck by an invisible force.For a heartbeat, the Greater Demon stood there, frozen in place as if nothing had happened. Then, with a sickening sound, its colossal body crumbled to the ground in pieces, diced cleanly by Jason’s strike.“Screech!” A high-pitched wail echoed across the cavern as panicked creatures scattered, their movements erratic and mindless in the wake of their apex predator’s death. Even the remai

"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

'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

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
