2025-08-11 02:16:25"That's impossible!" Mr. Daniel exclaimed as he shifted his gaze back to the gruesome scene happening downstairs. His expression wasn't the one Everett was expecting after he had just told him something that sounded crazy.
The expression on Mr. Daniel's face was one of shock and disappointment. It was almost as if he was expecting this, just not expecting it to be this way.
"No, the code was supposed to make my game dominate yours and then, with my game dominating yours, it would have enough power to clash with reality and make the Blood Battlefield into the new reality. But somehow, your code was able to dominate mine, and now your game, The Aero Game, is a reality!" Mr. Daniel grabbed his head, with buckets of sweat trickling down his face, and his white suit was now drenched in sweat.
A puzzled expression appeared on Everett's face after hearing Mr. Daniel's words. It was almost like he was talking gibberish.
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" Everett questioned.
"There's no time to explain! All you need to know is that the former world you once knew is now gone! The whole world now lives under the rule of the game you created! No more governments, no more laws, just the laws of the game!" Mr. Daniel voiced out as he was currently panicking.
"Sir, please, I am not following!" Everett still couldn't understand. The commotion and massacre going on downstairs prevented him from understanding and kept distracting him.
"The code I made you input into my computer was a project I have been working on for twenty years now. A project that would change the whole world. A project that would make my game a reality! But somehow I failed, and now your survival game has merged with the real world!" Mr. Daniel explained.
Everett remained mute. His heart racing and sweat trickling down his face as he shifted his gaze to the commotion downstairs.
"Shit. This is exactly how it is in the game. The level one is about the player going to a headquarters to strike a deal with a man named." Everett paused in his words as he shifted his gaze towards Mr. Daniel. "The man was named Daniel. I named him after you since you were the one who inspired me." Everett's eyes widened in shock.
"Exactly. What's happening now is exactly what happened in level one of the game. You are the main character, and you came to the headquarters to strike a deal with me, just like how you came here tonight to discuss business. Since that's the case, then we will surely make it out of here alive without getting eaten by those lizards. You are the creator, so you should know the lizards' weakness or better still know a safe exit." Mr. Daniel bellowed as he wiped the beads of sweat off his face with his sleeves.
"This is bad." Everett commented with a tensed look on his face. "I only focused on the main character when creating the game. Meaning I only programmed it in the game that the main character escapes through a hidden tunnel, while everyone else in the headquarters got eaten by the lizards." Everett explained.
"What? Why would you do that?" Mr. Daniel exclaimed in shock.
"I don't know. I didn't really pay attention to extras since they were only added to make the game more realistic." Everett responded.
"So, you are saying everyone here, including me, would die?" Mr. Daniel questioned, and Everett remained silent as he was lost in thought.
While designing the game, he made three solutions for the main character to pass the first level. The first solution was for him to kill Mr. Daniel and unlock an instant weapon and also get a portable portal that would teleport him out of the headquarters.
But Everett never used that option while playing since he respected Mr. Daniel even if he was a character in a game.
The second solution was to fight his way out of there, meaning he would have to fight with all he had against the lizards to find an exit.
That was mostly how Everett loved completing this level since he enjoyed fighting the lizards.
But now that it's all real and he couldn't just respawn whenever he dies, he knew fighting them would be suicide.
Which leaves him with the last solution, and that was to find a secret tunnel. Everett never bothered to find this tunnel since crawling through a tunnel would be so boring to play.
And whenever he gets to the end of the tunnel, there is always a lizard waiting for him.
"There might be a way to save you. I didn't focus on the extra characters while creating the game, so I didn't program them to live past this level. But because I didn't program it doesn't mean I can't let them survive. I can always fight the whole lizard's way before they kill anyone, and by doing so, everyone would survive. But since this is not a game but the real world, I can't start fighting those lizards. I can also take them along the escape route if I please, and in doing so, they survive."

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
