The Overseers gathered in a formation that blocked the path. Jax readied himself for attacks, activating the system in his mind."Anomaly detected. Terminate all non-player entities. Initiating sequence."They raised their hands at once and the beams gathered in the form of a silver wave. Jax felt his energy drain as he activated the ice, feeding it with more Silver Core until it formed a dome around the NPCs.When the beams were unleashed, it hit the shield, causing the ground around them to crack. Jax clenched his jaw, teeth gnashing against each other as he forced himself to hold on. His knees strained, muscles stretched close to their limits. The Silver Overseers didn't let up. Each discharge hit harder than the last, the force of it travelling up through Jax's arms and rattling his core.Jax reached into the system and pulled out the Corrupted Blade, charging forward before the Silver Overseers could recharge. He slashed across one of their chests. The sword reached into the Silv

Skill Harvest was the first skill Jax activated but it weighed on him, slamming hard against the back of his skull.[SKILL HARVEST: INITIATED.][PARTIAL SUCCESS. 20% EXTRACTION COMPLETE. SYSTEM STRAIN DETECTED.]Jax saw as the system glitched. He had not noticed it earlier but working on a mission for the past couple of hours that wasn't what the system designed for him was draining him more than usual.He was starting to realise that this was a muscle he hadn't trained the Glitch Overlord system to get used to.The distraction made Jax lose focus for a second and the three NPCs charged towards him."We don't have to do this." Jax said, shoving out his hand.They did not listen to him. One of them spotted the trunk that was left behind and heaved it up. Jax read the weight signature, absorbing and pulsating the skill into his hand. He felt it drain more of his energy as the NPC threw the trunk at Jax.He caught it just before it could crush him. His feet dug into the ground, the tensi

All those words did nothing to save Brax. Jax ricocheted across multiple walls, not stopping, unable to even slow down if he wanted to. He kept tumbling, body crashing into one wall only to come out through the other and it kept on until he reached a distant room.Brax bent the wind towards himself and tore through the same gap Jax had caused in the walls. He created a larger one. Jax was bleeding. For the first time since his skills upgraded, Jax felt real pain that weakened him.His lips cracked and blood seeped down to his jaw. A part of his forehead was also bleeding. Still, he could feel his healing already entering. Jax punched the ground and tried to stand up."I understand it now." He said slowly as he rose up.Brax was growling before him, he had turned into a full monster."You can never." Brax argued.Jax spat out the blood, coughing as he found his standing again."I do." He coughed again. "You were never given a choice. Not with Author. Not with the game. Not with me eit

Vella was dressed like a goddess in a shining armour that gleamed with golden lights.Jax focused on her. He drew out the Flame Sword in one hand and ice whip in the other. The blade burned with black fire, hinting at the rate of energy poured into it.The two of them scanned each other, eyes centering on one another and then they charged. Jax shifted to the left, lashing out the whip which Vella blocked by creating a portal so that the whip came back to attack Jax.But he caught it. He used the Flame Sword, blocking the whip and at the same time, letting the whip wrap around the Flame Sword. He then flipped it in the opposite direction and hurled the Flame Sword towards Vella. She did not expect it and she lost her footing.Jax sped towards her, crashing her into one of the mountains but instead they passed through it. She laughed, her eyes almost watering."You forget I created all of this."She kicked Jax off of her and drew chains that held him down. Before Jax could free himself,

The surrounding buildings melted just from the intensity. Jax's eyes grew bigger and his skin lit up as though he was directly in front of the sun.Jax connected with all the skills he had received and tamed and he let all that remaining energy burn into Vortex Core.As the fire slammed into Jax, he rooted his legs into the ground. The heat blasted at Jax but he retained it. His hands coiled around it. He allowed himself to submit to it right before he took charge.Just like he had always done. The same way with the game. First, surrender. Then retaliate.Glitch Pulse.Time paused and Jax breathed in the fire, drawing power from it. His health bar went down drastically but then stopped. Jax could now breathe inside of it.Glitch Absorption.The fire was now a charging system for Jax. All those cracks melted into his depth. Jax fused with them and rose into the air.When the fire stopped, Jax was shining. He was surrounded by the radiation of all of those systems."This is impossible.
