2025-08-11 02:00:56"Come on, it's still at two downloads? Why is no one playing my masterpiece?" A man who sat at his workbench lamented in a sorrowful tone as he took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. He had been on his computer for hours, and his eyes were red with bags under them.
"It's been three years since the Aero game was released on Eyeplay, and no one has yet to d******d it," the man known as Everett Lang muttered as he leaned back in his chair, eyes glued to the screen.
Everett was a 23-year-old avid gamer who was a professional in all types of RPG and survival games. But among all the games he played, his favorite was Blood Battlefield.
A game that was launched seven years ago and quickly gained popularity within a few weeks. In less than two weeks, the game already had a total of one billion downloads on Eyeplay, and every individual around the country and beyond was addicted.
Everett was one of the addicts. He played the game on his outdated personal computer day in and day out, and he also downloaded it on his phone in case he was away from home.
Everett was so in love with the Blood Battlefield game that he got fired from work because he was caught playing the game during work hours.
After getting fired from work, Everett knew he had to do something if he wanted to survive. Finding another job in the city wasn't on Everett's list since most companies and shops only hired people who graduated from university with high grades, and Everett was a school dropout.
His parents died when he was in his first year, and he had no choice but to drop out since he couldn't afford the fees anymore.
Since no company would hire him, he chose to create something with the little knowledge he had about programming from when he was a kid. He chose to create his own game after being inspired by the Blood Battlefield game.
The game creation took him months because he had to add several tough levels and also features that hadn't been used in other games.
The game was similar to Blood Battlefield, but Blood Battlefield was more advanced than Everett's since it was created by professionals who had several essential tools and materials.
After several months of creating the game and adding all that needed to be added, Everett finally launched it on the Eyeplay app where it would be easy for people to d******d it on their computers and mobile phones.
But unlike Blood Battlefield, which only took one week to gain billions of players, Everett's game took three years to get two downloads. And the two downloads were him downloading it on his phone and computer.
"What's the matter? What didn't I do right?" Everett questioned himself as he sat there helplessly. "This game is far more interesting and tougher than Blood Battlefield if you ask me, but no one seems to be interested. Could it be because of the graphics?" Everett mused.
His game's graphics weren't on the level of the Blood Battlefield game, since he lacked the equipment to add good graphics. But the graphics couldn't be the problem why no one was downloading.
One could only tell if a game's graphics were bad if they downloaded the game and played, but no one had even bothered downloading, which made Everett even more confused.
"I guess it was a waste of time and money after all. I shouldn't have created it in the first place." Everett let out a sigh as he stood up from the chair and stretched his arms and body while yawning.
He walked towards the window and glanced outside. The morning sun was already shining brightly, and the sounds of birds chirping could be heard.
"It's morning already, and I didn't even realize." Everett mused. He had been up all night trying to craft more interesting and captivating modes and missions in his game that he lost track of time.
"I better get dressed for work. Damn it, I hate that job." Everett frowned as he headed towards the bathroom.
While Everett began his game creation three years ago, he quickly realized that he would need lots of money to make it happen.
He searched for jobs in several companies and shops, but no one accepted him because he was a dropout.
But after several weeks of searching, he finally got a job in a store as a salesman. He hated the job badly, but he had to do it since he needed cash for his game.
In less than ten minutes, Everett stepped out of the bathroom now dressed in his work uniform. He combed his sporty black hair, grabbed his phone, and exited the one-room apartment.
Everett headed to the bus station after leaving his apartment and stood there in the station, waiting for a bus with other people.
While Everett stood there waiting, he took out his phone and went to the Eyeplay app to request them to remove his game from the app.
He saw no reason to still leave the game on the app when no single person had downloaded it for the past three years.
"I guess I'll just stick to being an avid gamer and not a game creator." Everett mused as he clicked on the app. The moment the Eyeplay app opened and he saw his game, his eyes widened in shock.
"Wait, it was two downloads this morning. But now." Everett couldn't believe his eyes as he stared at the screen in shock.
"But now it's three!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, causing the people around him to shift their gazes towards him and glare at him in anger and hate.
"Someone actually downloaded my game!" He shouted once more with joy evident in his voice. "Let me see who downloaded it."
Everett swiftly clicked on the profile of the person that downloaded, and the second he caught a glimpse of the name, his mouth widened even more.

Jax did not order his men to bring up battering rams. He did not order them to shoot lasers. Jax simply raised his empty hand and pointed at the heavy wooden gates of the village. Behind Jax, the giant Faith Amplifier machines hummed loudly. WUM-WUM-WUM.The crying peasants chained to the bottom were shocked with electricity, forcing them to output more corrupted belief. The air around the village gates suddenly warped. The red light twisted the fabric of reality. The heavy wooden gates did not break. They did not catch on fire. They simply melted. The solid wood turned into a thick, black, dripping liquid. It splashed onto the dirt like melted candle wax. The heavy iron bars turned to dust and blew away in the wind. The villagers on the walls screamed in absolute horror. Their minds could not understand what they were seeing. The enemy did not use weapons. The enemy used their corrupted faith to literally melt reality. "Liberate them," Jax commanded. The Zealots rushed forwa

The crowd went completely insane. “LIBERATORS! LIBERATORS!” they chanted. But the Pilgrim knew that anger was not enough to kill Everett. Everett had the power of absolute resilience. Everett’s stats were multiplied by ten thousand because the peasants loved him. The Pilgrim needed to give his army a boost. He needed to manipulate the Belief Mechanic, but he needed to do it his own way. The Pilgrim turned to Jax. "Bring out the machines," the Pilgrim commanded quietly. Jax nodded, his eyes glowing bright red. Jax turned to the guards inside the palace. "Bring them out!"The crowd quieted down as heavy, grinding noises echoed from the city streets. Out of the dark alleyways, massive vehicles rolled into the square. The players gasped. The vehicles carried giant, terrifying machines. The machines looked like towering spikes made of black iron. They were fifty feet tall. At the very top of each iron spike, a massive, glowing glass cage was attached. Inside the glass cages were th

The city of Zenith used to be beautiful. It was a place of shining factories and tall glass towers. But today, the city looked like a nightmare. The sky above Zenith was dark and angry. The clouds twisted in thick, black circles. The air smelled like burning metal and sick, sweet perfume. In the very center of the city, standing on a high balcony, was the Pilgrim. The old man wore his simple, plain brown cloak. His hood was pulled back. His gray hair blew gently in the cold wind. He looked down at the massive, ruined city. He did not look angry. He looked disappointed. Like a teacher watching his students fail a very simple test. "I tried to give them a quiet sleep," the Pilgrim whispered to himself. "I tried to delete the world peacefully. I wanted to turn off the lights and let them rest in the dark."The Pilgrim adjusted his wire glasses. His cold gray eyes stared out at the horizon. "But Everett refused," the Pilgrim said softly. "The anomaly made them too loud. He made them

Silas dropped his combat knife. It clattered loudly against the floor. "Half a million hostile targets?! That is impossible! The biggest guild in the world only has fifty thousand players!""It is not a guild," Rae said, pointing a shaking finger at the red city on the map. "It is the Pilgrim.""I don't understand," Lyra said, stepping closer to Everett. "The Pilgrim deletes people. He makes them vanish. He doesn't have an army.""He changed his plan," Rae explained. She pulled up a video file on her datapad and sent it to the main table for everyone to see. A video began to play in the air above the table. It was a recording from inside the city of Zenith. The video showed a massive, beautiful city square. But the square was filled with thousands of players and normal citizens. They were not fighting. They were standing in perfect, straight, military lines. They wore their armor, and they held their weapons perfectly still. At the front of the massive army stood the Pilgrim. He

"Come on," Lyra said, gently pulling his arm. "Silas needs you in the command center. He is having trouble with the new recruits."Everett nodded. He turned to the crowd. He raised his hand. "Go back to your homes," Everett commanded them loudly. "Help your neighbors. Share your food. The wall is safe for today."The crowd bowed one last time, and then they slowly began to disperse, happy to obey their Living God. Everett and Lyra walked away from the wall. They walked down the beautiful, wide streets of Apex City. The city looked very different now. It was no longer a shiny paradise for the rich. It was a massive, busy Safe Zone. When the System patch removed the Divine Aegis, the whole world had gone mad. Greedy players and violent guilds were hunting the ancient spirits and gods for their Mythic cores and permanent stat boosts. Everett had sent out a global message: Apex City is a sanctuary. Any hunted god, and any peaceful citizen, may find safety here. Anyone who hunts inside
Chapter 468
The sun was hot. The sky over Apex City was no longer a dark, bruised purple, but it was still full of gray ash and smoke. In the center of the ruined capital, a massive wall of white marble had fallen down. It was destroyed during the great battle. Now, a man was trying to put the wall back together. Everett stood in front of a giant block of solid white stone. The stone weighed at least five thousand pounds. It was the size of a small truck. Everett did not wear a shirt. His broad chest was wrapped in clean white bandages. His dark hair was wet with sweat. He reached down and placed his hands on the heavy stone block. His left hand was covered in old scars. His right hand was pale and gray. He took a deep breath. He bent his knees. "One, two, three," Everett whispered to himself. He lifted. The massive stone block rose into the air. Everett’s muscles bulged. His veins popped. He carried the giant piece of marble across the dirty street. He gently placed it on top of the broke
