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

‘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

"Grandmaster Amelia…""He’s playing with Hanna and his magic," Amelia cut Dane off before he could finish, hanging the freshly washed clothes on the line.Even after a year of constant change in Light Shone, this small household had remained the same. 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. Many players had hoped for a clear resolution, perhaps even a punitive response toward Jason Hope and the Crystal Pulse. Instead, the World Builders stood firmly behind their design, acknowledging no wrongdoing on their part or by Jason and his people.But what followed was even more surprising.The World Builder

"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
