2024-11-07 14:50:53"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 head, its tentacles wrapping firmly around her, gently but firmly holding her back.
"Let me go, Little Cuttlefish!" Hanna struggled, her small fists beating against the creature’s soft, yet unyielding grip.
“Little human, you can't go,” Brood’s voice echoed as the giant spider rose from the ground, positioning herself between Hanna and the mine entrance.
Brood’s massive form cast a shadow over Hanna as she blocked her path.
“You can't do anything,” Brood argued, her voice a mix of authority and concern.
Hanna’s eyes filled with tears, but she stood her ground. "I have to help Daddy! He’s hurt!" she protested, her voice trembling with urgency.
"Grr," Nyx growled, its deep rumble filled with unease, but it didn’t move to assist Hanna.
"No, no, you can’t go," Hanna’s little fairy floated in front of her face, waving its tiny hands frantically. Both Nyx and the fairy were supposed to follow Hanna’s commands, but even they understood the dangers lurking within the mine were far beyond what Hanna could handle.
"Protect Miss Hanna and create a circle," Samson ordered, springing into action. His duty was clear: protect Hanna in the absence of her parents.
Fortunately, her pets didn’t aid her in that moment, or they would have stood no chance of stopping her from whatever reckless action she planned. Samson’s mind raced, thinking of the gravity of the situation.
'Jason won’t die while he’s in the game, but what about Amelia?' he wondered, his heart heavy with concern.
It was clear that something serious had happened inside the mine for Hanna to react so strongly. They all knew about her bizarre powers, particularly her alarming ability to read minds.
Whatever had happened, Samson understood they were powerless to assist Jason or Amelia directly.
‘If anything can help them, it’s this thing… but it is also afraid of whatever’s in there.’ His eyes shifted toward the gigantic spider standing resolutely in front of Hanna, blocking her path into the mines.
…
Amelia's vision blurred as she struggled to stay upright, her knee pressed against the cold ground. Every breath she took felt like fire in her lungs, and the weight of her sword grew heavier with each passing second. The Greater Demon, as they called it, towered over her—a two-legged artificial mutant with massive, flaming wings, horns like jagged spires, and a face twisted in pure malice. Its burning eyes fixed on her, promising only death.
‘They actually left a weapon of war on this tiny planet? Is this a joke?’ She couldn’t believe what this kind of planet-obliterating weapon was doing here, but it was too late for her to realise it.
She had been pushed to her limits, and the creature’s blade hammered down upon her with unrelenting force, forcing her to her knee.
"Just a bit longer... Jason..." She gritted her teeth, steadying her sword in front of her as she shielded him. She knew she had nothing left to give. But as much as she hated to admit it, she had already accepted her fate. If it meant protecting him, she would endure it.
Then, the demon brought its massive sword down in a blinding instant for a final, devastating strike. Amelia braced herself, knowing this could be her end. But just as the blade was about to land, something stopped it—cold and effortless.
A shiny, black arm, covered in countless specks of light like the night sky, caught the demon’s sword mid-swing.
Amelia’s eyes widened in shock as she looked up. Floating just a few feet off the ground, Jason hovered between her and the demon, transformed in a way she had never seen. The left half of his body, including his face, had taken on an otherworldly, starlit darkness as if the cosmos themselves had merged with his flesh. Tiny lights shimmered across his skin, creating the illusion of a living night sky. The right half of his body was even more fearsome—black spikes jutted out along his arm and shoulder, and his right arm bore massive, razor-sharp claws where his nails should have been.
“Grade A, no he is stronger.” She whispered in a daze, trying to assess Jason’s strength.
His mutated form radiated an intense, chilling power, and without a word, he tightened his grip on the demon’s sword, twisting it with ease before snapping it in half as if it were nothing more than a twig. His darkened eyes, glinting with an unearthly glow, fixed on the Greater Demon, who staggered back, stunned and momentarily powerless.
For a moment, Jason turned his head back, looking into an unknown distance. His lips curled into an awkward smile as if he was smiling at something distance.
…
“Eh?” Hanna stopped struggling instantly.
She tilted her head, her gaze fixed on the mouth of the cave with a puzzled expression. Her teary eyes blinked rapidly, and then, as if a switch had flipped, she broke into a sudden, radiant smile.
Her Daddy was smiling at her—she could feel it. He was okay. But more than that, she sensed something else: a surge of immense power, vast and overwhelming, radiating from deep within the cave. It was a force so grand it felt like it could envelop the entire world.
Yet, despite its enormity, it didn’t frighten her. Instead, it brought her a profound sense of security and joy. That power was her Daddy’s, and it was as if he had become an unyielding, towering mountain—one that would shelter her from any storm, any danger.
"Daddy... Daddy is so strong," she whispered in a daze.

"...." - Is used in dialogues '....' - Is used in thoughts ...................... ‘How did all this happen?’ Jason felt cold. ‘Is this death?’ It was dark and silent. He couldn’t move or shout. There was nothing in the surrounding area. He was a failure. Even before coming to the planet Yuriel, he was just nobody. In the end, he died just like nobody. “Is it…..” “Yeah….” Jason heard a distant voice in the darkness. ‘Who is talking?’ He couldn’t make any noise or sound, but the voice was getting clearer. He realised it wasn’t English, but he understood the meaning. There were three distinct voices talking to each other. “It is over. That is the 10th simulation. Ends in the 30th year after entering the Primary Dimension.” “Are we going to do another?” “Nah… What is the use? They only lasted between thirty to thirty-five years in all simulations. They are going to be wiped out, anyway. The only difference is the time they are going to take to activate the beacon.” “But
Wizard Of Cosmos 02 - Was it Real?
‘What exactly happened?’ Jason looked around. The road and the calm river brought many memories from his past. ‘Past? Or is it present?’ He fell into a daze as he walked along the footpath. The memories of his last hours flooded his mind. The memories of his death, and the memories of the end of humanity. The events that took place ran through his mind like a movie. ….. ‘This is not aid!’ Jason trembled, feeling the power of the green light that passed over their heads. He tried his best to remember a spell with a green colour that had such terrifying energy, and he got none in his memories. This was too fast to be a response from allies. … “Wait! Don’t break the formation.” The young leader yelled at the old man, Jason, feeling helpless. “What do we do?” The woman asked in a panic. If they caused a commotion, they would easily attract their enemy drones. “Let’s go after him.” For some reason, the young man also felt that something was wrong. The moment they sent t
Wizard Of Cosmos 03 - I Am Broke
Jason looked at his small room. There was a small window, his bed, and a closet. It wasn’t much with the worn-out paints on the walls and dusty ceiling, but he was happy. He had his own room for the first time in his life. He stretched on the bed, hoping it would bring some comfort to his battered mind. ‘Sigh. I can’t avoid it, I guess.’ By no means does this sudden change of events be comforting to him. He saw too many deaths and lost many things during the twenty years of war. He had his own demons. He took out his phone and opened the browser. He tried to type two words, but he stopped himself with shaking hands. ‘I hope it was just a nightmare.’ He thought about how it all happened. If this was truly his return to the past, everything would happen in another five years. September 2030. A couple of months before that fateful day, governments all around the world announced a piece of shocking news. The world, the earth, would end on the 1st of September 2030. The peop
Wizard Of Cosmos 04 - I Would Have Been Happier
‘Sigh. What am I going to do?’Jason sat on the bench with an exhausted look on his face. He got an extra day off to take medical assistance, yet he was here to do something else. ‘Will I not be able to get the money?’He really felt helpless.He had no friends; he had no family. He didn’t have anyone rich enough to lend him money, and he had nothing he could sell. ‘Sigh.’He took out the phone, trying to find another bank nearby. …“It is that guy, again.”“Who?”Ashly frowned, knowing who her cousin was. Of course, Freya wasn’t a woman who didn’t date, but she rarely had a man who could gain her attention. Besides, her words made it obvious that this guy caught Freya’s eyes more than once.“That guy. I showed you him earlier.”“Hm?”Ashly turned her head toward the direction Freya was looking at. There was a scrawny young man sitting alone on a bench in the corner of the bank. His dark hair was messy, and he was looking at something on his phone. His worn-out clothes looked too
Wizard Of Cosmos 05 - Extra Fifty Thousand
Jason looked out of the window. He was hesitant to sip the expensive cup of coffee in his hand. He loved good food and drinks, but he loved his money even better. The bustling street was filled with people and vehicles. He saw more people going in and out of the bank on the other side.‘Sigh.’He wondered if he could do what he planned. Honestly, he had too many uncertain points. “So… Are you going to tell us?”“Ah… Yes.”His mind hurried back to the small cafe with a sharp but pleasant voice. “Sigh. I need money to buy a VR cabin.”If not for the information he found on the internet, he wouldn’t have followed this woman out of the bank, and he wouldn’t be sitting here with the two of them. Ashley Steel was the heir to the massive Steel corporations. To someone like her, mere hundred thousand should be nothing. However, there was another reason that he agreed to follow her. The Steel Corporation had a gaming guild called Black Steel Guild. A guild that focused on many major onlin

“I am here to apply for the Endless.”Jason ignored the disdainful look the guy behind the counter had when he placed the stack of papers in front of him.He knew doing things like this was way outdated, but he had his reasons. Besides, it was clearly mentioned that the application could be delivered by hand. The girl next to the guy looked at his face for a few seconds. It was as if she was trying to determine if he was joking or not. After a few seconds, she took the application into her hand and walked to a computer. “Sir. Can you see if there are any errors in the details I enter?”She pointed at the screen facing Jason.“Sure.”He stood in front of the screen as the girl skillfully entered his details into an online form. After that, she returned the form to him to check if everything was clear. “It is correct.”Jason felt relieved after checking everything for a second time. He didn’t want to get rejected even before getting started. He gave the girl his credit card as he fe

‘I can’t believe this.’Jason lay on his new bed, feeling complicated. It wasn’t because something was wrong, because everything went right.Three days after getting his loan from Ashley Steel and the Black Steel gaming studio, he moved into his new apartment. The real estate agent she introduced was very efficient and found him a cheap place with a rental of twenty-five thousand per year. It was a one-bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and a bathroom. It was the best he could afford with the money he had. After moving into the apartment, he began his tedious daily routine. Every morning he got up early and prepared breakfast and packed some lunch. Then he would go to the library to gather information on the notable natural landmarks on earth. There was a reason for this. In his past life, when the entire earth’s population was transported to the Yuriel, most people wanted to find a way to return. However, a group of explorers, scientists, and natives of the Yuriel found the n
Wizard Of Cosmos 08 - That is Where I Should Start
The surrounding lights changed, and Jason felt the warmth of the newborn sun.Even before he got used to the environment, his body stiffened. He felt the slight traces of magical energy or mana brushing against his skin. ‘Huff… Huff….’He gasped for air, trying to calm his mind. The feeling was from the atmosphere he lived in for thirty years. It made him instantly feel like a fish out of water because his ending in the past life wasn’t the one he expected to have. The surroundings became clear to him, and he wasn’t alone. There were many others and more and more lights flashed in the surroundings as more people appeared around them.‘So, is this how players come here?’He looked at his clothing. It was an off-white shirt and pants. It was similar to everyone else. Men and women both wore identical clothing, but they all had different skin tones and hair. He even saw several coloured hairs among the group. “Huh? Are we all players? How are we going to identify players? There are no

294 - Daddy is Hurt
'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

"Hanna, you have to be good and stay here, alright?""Alright, Daddy," Hanna responded, her voice tinged with sadness, but she kept her composure.'Hanna is a big girl. I can't cry. 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

“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 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

‘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

“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

“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

“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
