“Chief?” “Yeah. Let’s go. And I am not your chief anymore.” Frank took one last glance at Grandmaster Amelia’s house. He considered his new position seriously. It was much more honourable than being a bandit. He knew some of his men didn’t want this, but he didn't mind. First, none of them had another choice. Second, most of his men liked this place and their honourable living. Most of these people had a family somewhere, and they became bandits because of various difficulties. After Blade took over, many of them learned the true horror of being a bandit. ‘I am close to opening the second magic node.’ His heart thumped with excitement. The path to becoming a Master was ahead of him, and he felt it was no longer impossible to achieve. “Did you check the patrol teams? Argh… I have to do that all by myself starting next week.” He suddenly grunted in frustration. Butch would have to stay by Lord Jason’s side in the future, and Frank was yet to find a replacement for Butch. “I
“Miss Ashley, everyone logged out. It is….”Ben wanted to ask Ashley and Freya to log out immediately, but he couldn’t bring himself to say these words. He couldn’t tell these two girls that they had to log out to avoid the lecherous eyes of the NPCs of The Endless.“We are also going out, Ben. Are you going to stay?”“We have the night patrol, miss. We will take it.”“Alright.”Ashley looked at those creepy eyes of the NPCs for a moment. There were no other women in the army except for their girls, and they became the targets of the attention of all men. ‘If not for that official letter, what would happen?’The NPCs considered members of the Black Steel Guild to be nobles because of the introduction letter given to them by Jason. If not, she felt these NPCs would have jumped on them already. They had no separate barracks for women, and they could only log out after their daily training. The training was also difficult. They still didn’t learn a word about Mana Breathing, and they
“Hanna….”“Yes, daddy.”“Come here.”“Okay.”Hanna rushed to Jason’s side. “Here!”Jason picked her up and placed her on the table.“Look at this.”He pointed the magic stone he shaped into a lens at Hanna.“Alright!”Jason touched a few transparent buttons projected from the square shaped unit that was entirely made of magic stones. It took him three days to finish the engravings inside this unit.Unlike the runes made of Bluenyx, this unit had to be constructed using magic stones. The engraving of various magic patterns was extremely difficult, and he had to use mana to change the shape of the magic stones as he desired. The process was arduous, and Jason had to engrave over thirty distinct patterns to achieve his desired results.‘Now to enter the name.’He typed her name from the keys. There were more details to add for it to be perfect, but he didn’t want to type anything besides Hanna’s name. After working on this same unit for three days and countless trial and errors, he wa
“How is he?”Xanders tossed the question to the side without taking his eyes off the temporarily built stage. He felt Samson coming closer to the group, and it was a sign that Jason was about to arrive.‘How exaggerating….’He wondered how many nobles in Alexandria would have guards arriving in advance before their arrival. However, Xanders admitted these alien humans had better strategies to attract people. They gathered almost all the aliens to see the things happening on the stage. They demonstrated the effects of the basic scrolls made by Jason, and results looked pretty promising.Already there were many who wanted to exchange their points for Arcane Shield and Illuminate spells, but many people didn’t like the Enchanted Armour, Basic Dispel, and Concealment. Of course, the non-reinforced version of Concealment and Enchanted Armour didn’t look very useful compared to the flashy shield of Arcane Shield or the light orbs from Illuminate. The Enchanted Armour only increased the pr
- Do it if you can! Is this an open challenge from Jason Hope to all the players?- Official Player Recruitment! Is this another scam by Crystal Pulse?- What is the price of a spell scroll based on The Endless Currency? Is it better to learn to craft? NPCs want to learn skills! Is this called machine learning?- Where did Jason learn the skills to create scrolls? And the Crystal Pulse has advertised magic runes. Where can the players learn these?- Why are there no other players reaching the major cities other than the Black Steel Guild? Where are the players who started going to the cities?‘Finally, an interesting choice.’Dane clicked on the topic as he sat on the comfortable couch in his house. This was a topic he wanted to track and observe, and that is for one simple reason. They all stood behind in the Light Shone because of Jason’s words. It would be a disaster if he was wrong.‘It will be even more challenging to Aegis and Synccrop.’Aegis had thousands of people all around
“What? Why are you even living here? Didn’t Sky News pay you anything?”Ashley looked at Jason as if she was looking at an idiot.On the surface, Crystal Pulse was a nonprofit organisation. However, even with the recent collapse because of its poor reputation, the Crystal Pulse still had thousands of players. There were still people who joined it every day. Even if the organisation was nonprofit, it was a massive organisation with unlimited potential.“I didn’t know I have shares.”Jason raised his hands in an earnest gesture.“And… What does it have to do with where I live? I think this place is pretty good.”He didn’t want to say that he was much more eager to spend that money on gaining something for his future on Yuriel.‘Can I buy something for Hanna? But I have no way to bring it to her.’He still remembered the day he appeared on Yuriel with billions of others. Disoriented, afraid, and feeling naked. He had nothing but the common clothing everyone wore. It was exactly similar t
‘Is this… Light Shone?’Coal failed to understand the reason for the sudden change this small village had experienced within two short months. The last time he came here, he almost lost his life, and that was the reason he hesitated to come to this small village at the edge of the world. However, today he came to the front of the small village to see an entirely different scene.Of course, everything was different since the moment he stepped into Forestedge. That place was swarming with alien humans, but that was the case for all the remote towns, and he heard it was the same with many other countries.Still, things changed much more when he came toward Light Shone from Forestedge. This was a road that anyone rarely travelled, and there were many signs of animals occupying it at night.However, today he met travellers along the way. In fact, he left Forestedge with a group of twenty people. All of them were aliens travelling to Light Shone, and he met some of them travelling back fr
“Does this fit your requirements, Mr Coal?”Amanda wrote the last details of the contract by herself. The lack of personnel was a significant burden to them, but they had no choice. Every one of them stayed after dark to practise Mana Breathing and took turns practising during the day. ‘I only opened two magic nodes until now, and I am worried.’All of them had to work since three distinct organisations joined around Jason, and this young man wasn’t interested in assigning or managing their duties.All of them had to work together since none of them could cause trouble with Jason around. Amanda eventually found it relatively easy to work with the US government and Aegis while Jason was the leader. They all had a common goal, and no one wanted to expose too many details or cause a scene. ‘Why am I even complaining here? Is it because I am afraid of the future?’She knew she couldn’t say a word to Jason.A young man who barely stepped into society, who just wanted to play a game. Stil
