2025-08-11 02:11:18"Yes, sir. Working with you will be a dream come true," Everett responded instantly without thinking twice.
"That's good. I played your game; it was really nice and had levels and attributes that I have never seen in any other game. It will be nice to have someone like you on board," Mr. Daniel responded. "All you have to do now is input your full name and gaming code, and we shall get down to business." Mr. Daniel then turned his computer towards Everett, who swiftly typed in his full name and code and hit the accept button. "Done, sir," Everett informed. Mr. Daniel glanced at the computer and smirked. "Good, now we wait to see if it worked," Mr. Daniel spoke, pointing towards the wall clock on his right-hand side. Everett shifted his gaze to the clock; it was eleven fifty-eight pm. "What do you mean? Wait for what?" Everett questioned with a puzzled expression upon hearing Mr. Daniel's words. But the response he got was a smirk. "What's going on? What are we waiting for?" Everett questioned again as the time was now eleven fifty-nine pm. Everett was now starting to feel uneasy, and the smirk on Mr. Daniel's face just made things worse. "We wait for the merge to begin, and a whole new reality to unfold. Hahahaha," Mr. Daniel cackled as the clock hit twelve o'clock am. The moment the time hit twelve, the whole headquarters began to shake, and everyone present there lost balance and fell to the floor. It was an earthquake. The earthquake continued for a few seconds until it finally stopped, and Everett lifted himself off the floor and wiped his body. "What's going on? What do you mean by that?" Everett voiced out. Mr. Daniel didn't bother responding as he dashed out of the office and stood on the gallery, where he could see all that was happening on the lower floors of the headquarters. "It worked," Mr. Daniel exclaimed with a huge grin on his face. Everett also stepped out of the office and stood on the gallery, glancing all the way down to the lower floors of the headquarters. Glancing downwards, Everett's heart raced as he caught sight of what looked like giant lizards attacking the headquarters. The lizards were the size of a car, their skin was as hard as rock, their claws the size of a katana blade, and their tongues were as long as whips and sharp as razors. They also had small wings on their backs that helped them to fly. The workers kept screaming for help and running around as the vicious lizards attacked them and brutally killed them. Blood filled the whole place like water, and all that could be heard was roaring sounds and cries of agony. Right where Everett stood and examined the whole thing, his expression was mixed with terror and disbelief. For some reason, the lizards and what was happening right now seemed familiar. It was almost like he had witnessed this whole thing before somewhere. "The lizards are the size of a car, their skin as tough as rock, their claws like a blade, their tongues the length of a whip and sharp as a razor. Also, two wings behind them that help them fly," Everett muttered to himself in disbelief as he didn't want to accept what he thought was going on. "This was exactly how I designed the winged lizards in the first level of my game called Aero game," Everett blurted out, and Mr. Daniel, who stood beside him, also had a shocked expression, as if that wasn't what he was expecting. "What do you mean?" He questioned, his face bright red with anger. "In the first level of the Aero game, the enemies that attacked were winged lizards. These exact creatures that are attacking right now." "And wait, also, this is exactly how level one is. The player gets called into a strange headquarters to do business, and then suddenly some vicious lizards come rushing in to attack. They kill all the workers and even the boss, and the only person who must survive is the player himself. I know this sounds insane somehow, but I think this is the game!" Everett explained, his heart racing, and his shirt now drenched in sweat.

Chapter 204. The Realm Protocols
The screens flickered first. Small, fragmented panels appearing across the broken consoles Everett had patched together in Realm Zero. Light glowed unevenly along the edges of the hub. Players froze where they stood, eyes drawn to the pulsing displays. A low hum ran through the floor, vibrating up into the bones.Everett stepped forward, boots clattering against the rough-hewn platform. He glanced at the gateways, all shimmering and unstable. Some blinked faintly, almost as if waiting for him.“Riko,” Everett called. His voice carried across the open hub. “Check the new data streams. Something’s changed.”Riko’s hands flew across a console. The device sparked, pulled light from the surrounding space. Rae hovered beside him, half projected, her interface thin and fractured but operational.“I’m seeing it,” Riko said, fingers twitching over the surface. “New rules embedded deep in the reboot code. These aren’t patches. They’re core functions.”Everett crouched near one of the consoles
Chapter 203. The Architect Awakens
The storm arrives without sound. No wind. No thunder. Data twists across the sky above Realm Zero like dark static, thick bands of distortion rolling in slow arcs. The gates shimmer harder than before. Their mirror surfaces ripple, then briefly show places that do not match any Realm Everett has seen.Everett feels it before anything breaks. His chest tightens. The Anchor remnants embedded in Realm Zero pulse out of rhythm. Platforms creak. Light dims along the pathways. A few gathered players stop moving and look up at the same time. “What is that?” someone asks.Everett does not answer. He steps to the center platform. The ground firms beneath his boots as if bracing with him. He spreads his senses outward, not through thought, but through contact. Through the Anchor code stitched into the hub.The signal hits him hard. Not damage. Not attack. Recognition. Something old is moving.A gate flares bright blue, then cuts to black. The image inside it changes. The repeating towers van
Chapter 202. Realm Zero: The Hub
Everett hits something that should not exist. There is no ground, no sky, no direction. He slams into resistance anyway, like hitting deep water at full speed. The force twists him sideways. His body stretches, glitches, then snaps back with a sharp crack that echoes through nothing. He gasps.Air floods his lungs, cold and thin. He tumbles, rolls, and skids across a surface that looks unfinished. Stone plates float half-locked together. Gaps glow with raw light. Gravity pulls downward, but weakly, like it is still deciding.Everett plants one hand down. It sinks into light up to his wrist. He yanks it free and scrambles backward. His hand flickers. Flesh peels into lines of code, then seals again. The skin feels numb.He pushes himself upright. The space around him wavers. Chunks of terrain drift in slow arcs. A broken staircase leads nowhere. A steel beam hangs in midair, vibrating softly. In the distance, fractured doorways float like torn reflections, each showing a different s
Chapter 201. Fracture Point
The scream does not come from Everett’s mouth. It comes from the world.Stone twists with a sharp, tearing sound. Light splits into hard angles. The floor beneath Everett’s back drops half a foot, then slams upward again, throwing him sideways. He rolls, shoulder striking metal that was not there a second ago. He skids to a stop at the edge of a platform.Below him, there is no ground. Only depth. A vast drop filled with drifting fragments of structure, data shards, and broken architecture. Pieces rotate slowly, colliding, breaking apart, then reforming into different shapes before falling again.Everett grips the edge and pulls himself back. His hand goes through the surface halfway.He jerks it back fast. His fingers flicker. Skin tears into lines of light, then snaps back into flesh. Blood beads, then vanishes as if corrected.He stares at his hand. It flickers again. “No,” he says.The nexus collapses around him. Walls shear apart into panels of code and concrete. The ceiling pee
Chapter 200. The New Dawn
A bird lands on a bent traffic light and stays there. Dust drifts down from a half-buried skyscraper and does not reset. A man steps off a cracked sidewalk and leaves a footprint in soil that used to be a loading screen. Nothing glitches. Nothing rolls back.Everett stands at the edge of a wide plain where pavement fades into tall gold grass. He lifts one boot, presses it down, then drags it slowly. The grass bends. It does not dissolve. The ground holds.Rae watches him from a few steps away. She crouches and runs her fingers through the soil. Dirt clings under her nails. She wipes her hand on her jacket and looks up. “It’s staying,” she says.Everett nods once. Behind them, Veridian City hums at low volume. No sirens. No alerts. Just engines, voices, and the slow grind of work starting again. Power lines stretch between buildings that once belonged to different worlds. Some flicker with faint gold light. Others do not.People move through the streets without markers above their h
Chapter 199. The Golden Reboot
The first crack does not look like a crack. It looks like a pause.Wind stops moving. Fire freezes mid-flicker. A falling shard of glass hangs in the air between one second and the next. Everett blinks, and the world does not blink back. Then the sound returns all at once.A deep pulse rolls through the sky, not loud, but heavy. The ground answers with a low tremor. Light bends, straightens, then bends again. The fractured horizon, once layered with endless game skies and broken worlds, begins to slide together like plates pulled by a hidden force.Rae staggers beside him. Her boots scrape against the stone, leaving a thin line of sparks. She grabs his arm, not to steady him, but because her hand will not close properly anymore.Above them, the Anchor Protocol changes shape. The vast construct of light and code, once sharp and exact, loses its clean edges. Symbols flicker out of order. Lines overlap. Errors spill across its surface in dull gold flashes. It is not collapsing. It is a
