Rae slammed her hand on the ENTER key. The 3D map on the holographic table vanished. In its place, a live video feed appeared in the air. It was shaky. It was bouncing up and down. The video was showing exactly what Kael, the scout leader, was seeing through his own eyes. "Commander Silas! Help us!" Kael’s terrified voice echoed out of the crystal speakers. The audio was clear, but filled with panic. In the video, Kael was running for his life. He was running through a narrow, dark red canyon. Beside him ran four other Dust Runner scouts. They looked back over their shoulders. "Kael!" Everett shouted, leaning over the table. "We see you! Keep running! Do not stop!"In the video, Kael looked back ahead. The exit to the canyon was only a hundred yards away. If they reached the exit, they could jump on their motorcycles and escape. But then, the video changed. The air in the canyon suddenly turned a sick, glowing red. The sky above them went completely black. "The ground!" a sco

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
