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."

Chapter 155. The Convergence Pulse
A strange, heavy silence that fell across the land like a soft blanket being dropped from the sky. It came without warning, without signal, without any kind of system alert. One moment the world moved as it always did, full of noise and life and the uneven rhythm of a newly reborn reality. And then the very next moment, everything stopped. Every bird froze mid-flight. Every leaf halted in the wind.Every person stood still as if their breath had been stolen. Time itself stopped.Riko was the first to feel it.She had been adjusting the cracked interface plate on her desk, surrounded by wires and blinking lights inside her messy shack. The world outside the window shimmered in its usual imperfect beauty, with clouds drifting unevenly and dust shifting across the ground. She had been muttering to herself about signal drift when she suddenly realized her fingers were no longer moving.Her hand hung in the air. The dust outside stopped mid-swirl. A falling screw she had dropped hovere
Chapter 154. Echoes in the Code
The first sensation Everett felt was not sight. It was pressure, a soft, heavy weight pressing from all directions, like a deep ocean wrapped around his consciousness. He drifted inside it with no body, no form, only awareness. At first he thought he was dreaming, but dreams had edges. Dreams had direction. This place did not.Here, everything stretched endlessly. A world of light and shadow and shifting currents. A world made of data.Everett tried to breathe, but there was no breath. He tried to speak, but there was no voice. His thoughts rippled outward, forming soft waves in the emptiness. “Where am I?”The ocean of data responded with a faint hum.It was ancient, familiar, and yet broken, like a melody he had once known by heart but forgotten long ago. Bits of code drifted around him like floating dust. Entire system paths lay twisted and collapsed. Fragments of memory pulsed faintly, waiting to be touched.Everett reached toward one. The moment his consciousness brushed it, t
Chapter 153. Lyra of the Lattice
The temple-city of Latticehaven was a place that breathed light.Every archway shimmered with soft blue glow. Every pillar hummed with old circuits beneath polished stone. Trees with silver leaves grew along the pathways, their branches whispering with gentle electronic sounds as the wind passed through them. The streets were peaceful and clean, filled with warm lamps that never flickered. The people walked slowly, their steps guided by harmony, as if the city itself encouraged calm hearts.And at the very center of Latticehaven stood the Healing Sanctum. Lyra worked there.She moved through the Sanctum’s long hallways in quiet steps, her white robe brushing softly against the floor. Her hair was tied back neatly, and her eyes were gentle, steady, filled with empathy that made every frightened patient breathe easier when they saw her. Her presence felt like sunlight after rain, warm, reassuring, real. But the world she tended was not simple anymore. Not after the Second Dawn.Insi
Chapter 152. The Silent Strategist
Vantress Spire rose like a blade cutting through the clouds. The structure did not look natural. It was tall, narrow, made of layers of black stone and steel plates that shimmered faintly with leftover system code. Every wall pulsed with quiet light, as if the building itself was breathing. Bridges stretched between its towers like thin strings of silver. The wind around it always whistled sharply, as if warning anyone who approached.Inside the Spire, nothing was wasted. Every hallway was perfectly aligned. Every guard moved with practiced rhythm. Every screen displayed information in endless streams. It was a place built for one purpose, control through understanding.At the highest level sat the chamber of the Silent Strategist. Soren. He stood with his hands behind his back, staring at a giant holographic map that filled the room. It wasn’t a normal map. It showed the world’s new, unstable geography. Lines of energy flickered across shifting landscapes. Zones pulsed with dif
Chapter 151. Riko’s Signal
Riko always liked quiet places. Not peaceful places. Not beautiful places. Just quiet ones, corners of the world where no one looked.No one expected anything, and nothing tried to pretend it was perfect. And now, after the Second Dawn, the world was louder than ever.People were laughing with their real voices. Rivers were actually flowing with uneven currents. The wind carried dust and scents and unexpected changes. The world felt alive. Imperfect. Unpredictable.Riko liked that. But she also knew that something underneath the world was not resting. Something was humming inside the network. Something was waking up.And she was the only one who could hear it. She sat alone inside a tiny maintenance shack at the edge of a half-finished town. The building looked abandoned from outside, cracked windows, dusty door, a flickering old lamp nailed to the wall. But inside, wires crawled along every surface. Screens hung like vines. Old server cores hummed quietly, blinking with uneven lig
Chapter 150. The Second Dawn
Darkness was not empty. It was warm, like lying under a heavy blanket, safe from storms. It was gentle, like a quiet breath resting against Rae’s cheek. She floated inside it without weight, without fear, without the sharp edges of pain. She did not know if she was alive, dead, or something in between.She only knew she was drifting. She reached out her hand, hoping for something to hold. The darkness shifted when she moved, rippling like soft water. Then a faint shimmer grew in the distance, small at first, like a single ember glowing in ashes.It pulsed. Rae felt something stir inside her chest. A memory. A voice. “Rae… don’t disappear.”Finn. She remembered the tremble in his voice, the way he had squeezed her hand before the world broke apart. She pushed toward the light, swimming through the darkness as if moving through a dream.Another pulse glowed beside the first. “Stay with me.”Everett. His voice was softer, fading, but real. The echo of him. The part of him that had not
