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 338
The third day was the darkest. Inside Everett’s mind, there was no bunker. There was no Lyra. There was no desert.There was only a massive, endless white room.Everett was standing in the middle of the bright white nothingness. He was not wearing his heavy cloak. He was not holding his chain-sword. He looked down at his hands. They were transparent. He was fading away.A voice echoed through the endless white room. It did not sound human. It sounded like perfect, cold math. It was the voice of the System itself.“SUBJECT EVERETT. FATAL CORRUPTION DETECTED. SYSTEM DELETION IN PROGRESS.”"I am not a subject," Everett said. His voice sounded small in the giant white space. "I am a man."“YOUR BIOLOGY IS FAILING,” the cold voice stated. “THE POISON HAS DESTROYED SEVENTY PERCENT OF YOUR VITAL FUNCTIONS. YOUR STATS ARE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. IT IS MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE. CEASE RESISTANCE. ACCEPT DELETION.”The white floor beneath Everett’s feet began to turn black. The darkness
Chapter 337
In the camp, the silence was terrible. It was the silence of absolute, crushed hope.Little Finn, the ten-year-old boy who had been practicing with his wooden stick, watched the screen go dark. He looked down at his stick. He had believed Everett. He had believed he could break his blue box.Finn’s hands shook. He dropped the wooden stick into the dirty mud. He walked away, his head hanging low. The spark inside him was completely dead.Inside the noble cities, the reaction was exactly the opposite.The elite families threw massive, expensive parties. They drank wine. They danced to beautiful music. Lord Valdrin laughed loudly as he watched his baby son destroy more expensive toys with his inherited magic. The nobles celebrated because they knew they were finally safe. The monster in the dark was gone. The peasants would never rise up again.But down in the underground bunker, Lyra was finally awake.She was incredibly weak. Her head pounded. She crawled across the cold concrete floor
Chapter 336
The walk back to the hidden underground bunker was the longest walk of Everett’s life.Every step he took felt like he was moving through thick, heavy mud. The dry red dirt of the desert crunched under his boots. The cold wind howled, blowing sharp ash into his eyes.In his strong arms, he carried Lyra. She was completely unconscious. Her skin was as pale as the moon. She had used her own life force, her forbidden blood magic, to stop the green poison from eating his heart. She was so light, but to Everett, she felt like the most precious thing in the entire world.Silas walked next to him. Silas held his sniper rifle tightly. His eyes scanned the dark rocks, searching for any more elite assassins."We are almost there, Everett," Silas whispered. "Just over this next hill. Keep moving."Everett did not answer. He could not open his mouth. If he opened his mouth, he was afraid he would scream.The green poison from the Silent Knife was still inside his veins. Lyra’s red magic had pushe
Chapter 335
The last standing assassin, from House Rho stepped back. He looked at Everett, who was pushing himself up onto one knee. He looked at Lyra, who was glowing with terrifying red magic. He looked up at the ridge, where Silas was surely reloading his sniper rifle.The element of surprise was completely gone. Their leader was bleeding out. Two assassins were crippled. One was dead.The assassin from House Rho reached into his belt and pulled out a small black glass ball. He smashed it onto the ground.A thick cloud of black smoke exploded into the air, covering the entire canyon."The Houses send their regards, anomaly," a voice echoed from the dark smoke. "You cannot hide forever."When the thick black smoke finally cleared in the wind, the assassins were gone. They had used a teleportation crystal to escape, taking their wounded leader with them.The canyon was quiet again.The Stat Suppression Field suddenly turned off.The heavy, crushing weight vanished from Everett's shoulders. His
Chapter 334
The leader screamed in absolute agony. He spun around and fell into the dirt, dropping the green dagger. His blood sprayed across the dry red rocks."Sniper!" the assassin from House Solenne yelled. He raised his shield and looked up at the high canyon walls.BANG!Another shot rang out. The bullet hit the ground right in front of the assassin, throwing a cloud of red dust into the air."Keep your heads down, you golden bastards!" a loud, familiar voice echoed down from the dark ridge above.It was Silas.Silas was lying flat on a high rock, looking through the scope of his heavy rifle. He pumped the gun quickly, loading another bullet. "I missed the head! Next one goes right between your eyes!"The assassins panicked. They looked for cover. They were trained to fight in close combat with magic. They were not prepared for a Dust Runner sniper shooting from the dark hills.But Silas was not alone.Down in the canyon, the sound of boots sliding fast down the rocky wall broke the silence
Chapter 333
The five assassins attacked at the exact same time. They were incredibly fast. They did not lose their stats in the suppression field. They had special glowing white tags on their shoulders that protected them from the drain. They moved with high-level Agility.The assassin with the two short swords reached Everett first. He swung the blades in a fast, deadly cross toward Everett's neck.Everett could not dodge. He was too slow. His body felt heavy and useless.So, he did not dodge.Everett stepped forward, right into the attack. He raised his heavy, dead chain-sword like a simple iron club. He used the sheer weight of the weapon to block the two glowing swords. CLANG!The impact shook Everett's bones. The pain shot up his arms. But he did not stop. He used a pure, raw, human fighting trick he had learned long before the System gave him magic stats.Everett let go of his sword with his left hand. He stepped inside the assassin's guard. He grabbed the assassin by the back of the neck,
