“Roar!”A mighty roar echoed through the forest as the gate to the wooden fortress opened. Bruce thought he lost his balance as he felt the world going silent for a moment.He held on to the tree, trying to stabilise his shaking world.“I… Really hope it is not a mutated cave bear.”When he regained his hearing again, he saw the guard captain, Julian, frowning into the trees.“Mutated? Are there such creatures…?”The moment he asked, Bruce felt almost all eyes fall on him. They all had the same question in their eyes.‘Are you serious?’“Eh… Did you guys know about this?”He looked at the other players.“Yeah.”Logan shrugged with the vivid memories of his first day in the game.“Jason killed one on the first day.”“First day?”His surprise didn’t last long, and the ground started to tremble. “Roar!”The second roar felt much closer and threatening.‘Jason…?’For a second, they all saw Jason running along the palisade before barging in through the half-open gate.The trees crashed a
“Good evening and welcome to our tonight's special show, everyone. This is one of the first ever to Sky News, and I am Chris Hale, your host tonight.”Chris started his intro without missing a beat. Even though he was short on notice, it was nothing to a true veteran like him. However, he tried to keep his rational mind. He had his fair share of gameplay experience as a kid, but that was years ago. He was familiar with all the sensational news around the world, but not too much on gaming. ‘I have to admit. The content of this game is truly impressive.’He could have rejected the show even if it was from their chairman, but then he saw the video that would be the topic of tonight's discussion. He continued with his introduction by introducing the very unusual group of guests he had with him.Nate Robinson, who called himself, ‘Luminous’. A world top-ranking RPG gamer. Sasha Alfson. A famous professor in ancient history and a weapon enthusiast. She was also the wife of Robert Lacros
“Are you saying we can try any combat style in this game?”“Yes, that is what I am saying.”John nodded his head in satisfaction.“But….”Luminous finally raised his voice. He saw how things unfold until now. Jason Hope was someone who popped out of nowhere, and he was suddenly in the limelight. ‘I was in the gaming industry for so long, and some nobody became a celebrity.’He had a sense of shame and jealousy. “I am sorry… But.”He realised everyone was staring at him, but he gritted his teeth and continued. “Isn’t it too much of an advantage? What will happen to the people who play the game for fun? They might not be trained fighters.”His questions drew all eyes to John, who wanted to strangle Luminous.‘I just found a good point in The Endless, and you are trying to screw me over.’Still, John didn’t change his business smile for a second.“I agree. But Mr Luminous, don’t forget that this is ultimately a fantasy game. Some players will have an advantage in the early days, but
The heavy rain drenched the ground, turning it muddy. “Grr….”The cave bear growled, feeling threatened. It had several cuts on its body, but it was wise enough to avoid any lethal attack.“Useless idiots….”Blade yelled at his men. He looked at the young man, who was holding his sword with a troubled expression. He seemed to be exhausted and breathing with difficulty, but his men failed to retain the man. Worst of all, they failed to kill the bear. It was wise enough to avoid direct confrontation and steel-tipped arrows could barely penetrate its tough skin. The rain was getting heavier as time passed, and it showed no signs of ending anytime soon. Also, he knew things weren’t in his favour because another group of men barged into the camp from the gate. It was another group of alien humans and soldiers from Forestedge. However, they didn’t directly engage in a battle with his men. Instead, everyone was looking at the battle happening in the middle. ‘Who the hell are you?’This
‘How did he…?’Roger looked at Logan, fuming with anger. He followed Jason here to test out things, and he wanted to see Jason’s potential. However, what he witnessed here was way beyond their initial assessment.‘You do not know, don’t you?’Logan was also staring at the battleground in a daze.‘Well… It is not that bad since it is just a game. But I wonder how the board of directors will react to this.’“Cap… Roger…!”“What?”“He… Jason didn’t disappear….”“Ah….”Roger looked at the ground where Blade died kneeling. Jason’s body was still there without disappearing.“He is…. Still alive? Plan B… It is Plan B.”He yelled in a loud voice before running toward the battleground.“Plan B?”Logan was confused for a second.“Shit… It is Plan B.”He chased after his captain. “Go!”Dawn yelled at her sisters.“Pro… Protect Lord Initiate.”Julian rushed across the field. “Ah… Wait for me….”Bruce didn’t want to be left out alone. He chased after them across the slippery ground along with th
'Should I ask now?'Bruce hesitated a bit before walking to Jason. He was getting a ton of messages from Sky News.He answered as many questions as he could, but he was simply the reporter.Not only fans, but people who were invited to discuss their actions had questions for Jason.'From today, he will be a universal celebrity.'Jason’s actions had created a global sensation.Dawn was sewing up a wound on Logan's arm, and the girl named Camila died in the battle, but that wasn't all.Many NPCs died too from both sides. Worst of all, there were many who survived with gruesome wounds.Roger was applying something to his wounds, too. None of them was ready to log out and take the penalty. Jason didn’t bleed much as before, but his wounds were the ones that looked worse. Everyone looked exhausted and wary. "Jason, there are some questions for you, are you willing to answer?"Bruce felt a slight fear of Jason. This man had a heart of steel in battle, and a weird ability to ignore pain. "
“Uncle….”Sharon looked at the excited crowd with wary eyes. They just get excited over every little thing. Even the town’s people gathered around the gate. Not only them, but Simon was also standing near the gate. “Just ignore them. They must know that Jason is near.”Boris felt a slight sense of guilt when he looked at the group of women and children waiting outside the city gate. They looked badly hurt, both mentally and physically. He could imagine the inhuman suffering they went through to become like this. ‘I can’t believe things got so serious. What are those bastards planning?’He didn’t think these so-called bandits would be a group of soldiers infiltrating their kingdom. A messenger from Simon brought him this terrible news. Although Jason had killed almost all the leaders, they had found some documents and letters from officials of the Brodice kingdom. Also, some uniforms of the soldiers were among the things they found.Honestly, things didn’t look too well for him. “Un
- Shocking truth about Jason’s quest to attack the bandits - Why did Jason reject the second part of a major chain quest? There was a video of the conversation between Jason and Boris attached under the topic, revealing hints about an upcoming war. It was the number one trending topic at the moment on the forum. “Still no answer.” Ashley phased back and forth in frustration. She was trying to contact the most famous person on the internet for the last couple of hours, but there was no answer till now. “Why did that idiot reject the second part of the main quest?” She was angrier after watching that video. Jason delivered her what he promised. Today he showed the world the true potential of The Endless. It created a massive ripple effect all around the world that escalated to a point where she and Freya had to log out of the game. “I can’t imagine he would abandon such an important quest.” Their gaming studio was getting calls and messages in the middle of the night, and she
