CH.71: Welcome to Veyne
Veyne stood out at the top of the mountains. The sky was clearer with thick forest surrounding the area. High-levelled bridges carved a path into the city and dark waters were channelled through lead tunnels.Lina appeared with two figures behind her. They were chained to her hands, and bound with a skill dampening effect, rendering them weak behind her.More crowds pooled in around them, also seeking entrance into the huge city. The guard who was stationed at the entrance stopped her and looked behind her."Name and position?""I am SleeperBuild. I have with me a bounty." She said in a voice that was thicker."What bounty?""The Glitch Overlord and his companion." she said and the guard froze for a second. He looked over her shoulder with disbelief."That is impossible." He argued.Lina scoffed and twitched her lips."Everyone looks down on me hence the name." She said and turned to the captives she had in her grip. She tugged at the chains and they went on their knees. "Check it out
CH.72: Not Mira, Not Orin
"Come on. Come on, Jax." Mira sounded too excited, pulling Jax along with her. They had just arrived at their residence in a flying transit. Jax chuckled, seeing how Mira was so full of energy. Everything he had thought was wrong and he wanted to be happy with her at that moment. The building was part of the ones in the lower district but it was beautiful. Mira had painted it with ambient colours that Jax knew her for too well. Her eyes were even brighter than Jax had ever remembered. When they first met as NPCs who still followed the game's script, Jax remembered this was exactly how delighted she was then as well. She loved him regardless of whether or not they were following the scripts. She cared for him. Before the light died in her eyes. And here it was again. "My room." Mira said. She pulled Jax into a huge room. Eldric and Lina were in the living area. "Wow, this is really huge." Jax said, unable to believe this was true. Mira pulled him with her and showed Jax more of
CH.73: What Lies Beneath Veyne
Jax was surprised he wasn't stopped at the entrance when he stormed into the Fortress. The Triune sat on their seats and it looked like they were already expecting him.Jax steadied himself and raised his head high. He stared into their eyes."What have you done to my friends?" He asked, leaving no room for deflection."You need to go into more details, Glitch Overlord—"Jax took over before Maren finished speaking."You brainwashed them. I want to take them with me." Jax said and took a step forward, eyes darkening as he focused solely on Maren. "The question is: will you stop me?"Silence stretched thin in the space. Selenne stood up. Her gown streamed down her body, glittering like it was made with a glassy material, reflecting the lights from the ceiling. She carried a great aura with her.Her hands folded in front of her and she spoke calmly. "You are wrong about us, Jax. We have said it before. We are not your enemies.""You are not my friend either. I've never heard of Veyne be
CH.74: More Surprises
The next morning, Jax got out of the house in search of Sera. All through the night, he spent time mapping out the areas and eventually pinpointed the location Sera was in.He barely had any conversation with Mira before he left, and she wasn't as bothered as he thought she was supposed to be. As if she wasn't already different and distant from him, she didn't even ask how he felt about their conversation the night before.Arriving in the lower district, he stood in front of a cafe building, situated towards the downtown. "This couldn't be…" he whispered to himself.This was where Sera was. Jax opened the door and entered. He saw Sera behind the counter, serving plates to the customers in the queue. Jax joined the line and when it was his turn, he scoffed."How the mighty have fallen." He said.Sera buzzed with a smile that Jax didn't expect. "Jax!"She was cheery, hurrying behind the counter to take off her apron, ignoring everyone else. She came to pull Jax to one of the seats near
CH.75: An End to it all
There was no way any of them could hide their surprises when they found Mira, Orin, and Sera in the palace halls where the Triune were. Jax, Eldric, and Lina were lined up in a row by the guards before they stepped back.Lina's eyes shifted to Sera who didn't regard her with any feelings whatsoever."Glitch Overlord, care to explain what you've been doing in a city where you are the guest?" Maren said, starting the conversation."I'd rather like to know how you cloned my friends to look exactly like them, yet stripped out everything that made them who they are." Jax directed without hesitation, immediately going into business."No comfort, no empathy. None of what made them my friends in the first place." He added adamantly."We have no idea what you mean. We have done nothing but accommodate your friends."The system beeped in Jax's mind. The key's data updated itself and the alert flashed across his vision.[SYSTEM WARNING: PRIMORDIAL OVERSEER DEPARTURE DETECTED. OPTIMAL WINDOW TO D
CH.76: Operation Save the Colony
The system beeped with much more urgency inside Jax's mind and the alarm distracted him more than the message itself.Jax shoved it to the base of his mind as he focused on the mission at hand. Save Mira, save Orin, and save the entire colony members."Here we go again." He said to himself. Jax's chest tightened, the familiar feeling of the rush that came with risky situations like this had surfaced.Filament bulbs were attached to the walls and they turned on once he approached, sensitive to motion. He walked carefully as he looked left and right. The doors had a see-through glass that allowed Jax to check faster. Finally, he arrived at a metal door that was thicker in size.He tried the lock but it required a fingerprint access code. Jax turned on System Sight and it picked up two heat signatures, approaching. He quickly turned back and hid in one of the cold rooms in the hallway.He held his breath and heard the door unlock. He waited for the two men to walk past where he was hidin
CH.77: Yet The End
Just a minute ago, Mira's pulse was silent and Jax couldn't even feel her heart rate but now she stirred. Her eyes slowly opened and she coughed out water.Jax shifted her to her side."Jax, is it really you?" She said weakly. She coughed out more water.He patted her back and nodded eagerly."Yes, Mira. I'm here."She forced herself to smile. Jax took her hand and gave her a light squeeze. He looked at her in a way that anyone could tell she meant a lot to him. With the script or not, he loved her."You came." Her voice was little. "The others, they aren't…""I know." Jax said and smiled. This was his Mira, who would care about others even when she wasn't safe yet.He helped her to sit while he went to help the others. He channelled Vortex Core heat through his palms and pressed them to the others, giving their bodies warmth. Orin woke up and Jax hugged him. He moved to the colony members. They weren't as many as Jax remembered and it sent a tightness in Jax's chest, knowing he was f
CH.78: Payback Time
Outside of the chaos in Veyne, characters were running away for their safety. Overhead, Jax watched as the colony escaped in the ship and he felt a strange relief. Now he could focus only on the Overseers without worrying."This has been long overdue, don't you think?" Jax said.He laughed a strange laugh as he held the flame sword firmly. The fire flared, licking the ground and burning it."Then, let's end this." The Primordial Overseer said.Jax growled, containing the energy for the Overseers before him. They were like a body of water. The Primordial Overseer had been readying for this since a long time. The AI would not leave anything to chance. It chased after a 100% win rate.Even though Jax acted like he wasn't scared, his heart was hammering on the inside. He couldn't win one-on-one.He gritted his teeth and spat. "Fine."Just before he took the first step, something beeped in the distance. Jax frowned as it launched into the sky before it landed in between him and the Oversee
CH.79: Unlike Any Other
The Primordial Overseer was beyond pissed. The ground continued to make rumbles, the air thick with tension. The sky had a similar effect as it rumbled like there was a storm. A reflection of the Primordial Overseer's anger.Jax held himself and focused on the prize. Something glinted on top of the monument.His system.It was still waiting for him all this time. To regain all of his power as the Glitch Overlord.As long as he hadn't gotten to 100%, he couldn't defeat the Primordial Overseer. Fastening himself, he launched Shadow Step but as he got close, a beam came his way.Jax ducked at the last minute. The beam went by his head. He wasn't just a mind this time around. He had a full body which meant he could die inside the Primordial Overseer's mind, which was a risk too much to be careless about.Jax's breathing hardened. The Primordial Overseer's mind had opened, allowing the other Overseers entrance.Fire and ice exploded inside Jax's core, mixing both fragments in his mind. The
CH.80: Last Chance
The flame sword sparked upon clashing with the tentacles of the Primordial Overseer. Jax shifted to the side, missing the other tentacles that had pointy sharp ends. The air whooshed past him, his hair flipping to the back from how fast the tentacles moved.Jax fixed his eyes back on the Primordial Overseer. He panted. Sweat dripped from his forehead down to his jaw, still focused on the prize.Shadow Step.Jax flipped into the void and appeared behind the Primordial Overseer. He folded fire into a ball and shot it against the Primordial Overseer. It screamed and sent more strings, cutting past Jax's chest. He seethed but maintained his stance."You are nothing but a glitch!" It screeched before it charged towards Jax again.He flipped into the air, sweeping his feet past its sharp codes and shooting another fireball into the Primordial core which sent it whirring. Its codes shifted but soon began to refix themselves.Jax sped forward. He reached out and combined both Glitch Absorptio
