Every second between then and now had kept Jax awake. He spent every moment strategizing, plotting his next move, calculating how he was going to get his team out. Orin's words had been the one thing holding him steady, keeping his focus fixed on what lay ahead rather than what was already done.

Outside the walls, an arena had been built. The stadium was enormous, stretching across a vast width of land, and players from across the game world had been filing in since before sunrise. Characters

    Jax was surprised he wasn't stopped at the entrance when he stormed into the Fortress. The Triune sat on their seats and it looked like they were already expecting him.Jax steadied himself and raised his head high. He stared into their eyes."What have you done to my friends?" He asked, leaving no room for deflection."You need to go into more details, Glitch Overlord—"Jax took over before Maren finished speaking."You brainwashed them. I want to take them with me." Jax said and took a step forward, eyes darkening as he focused solely on Maren. "The question is: will you stop me?"Silence stretched thin in the space. Selenne stood up. Her gown streamed down her body, glittering like it was made with a glassy material, reflecting the lights from the ceiling. She carried a great aura with her.Her hands folded in front of her and she spoke calmly. "You are wrong about us, Jax. We have said it before. We are not your enemies.""You are not my friend either. I've never heard of Veyne be

  • CH.71: Welcome to Veyne

    Veyne stood out at the top of the mountains. The sky was clearer with thick forest surrounding the area. High-levelled bridges carved a path into the city and dark waters were channelled through lead tunnels.Lina appeared with two figures behind her. They were chained to her hands, and bound with a skill dampening effect, rendering them weak behind her.More crowds pooled in around them, also seeking entrance into the huge city. The guard who was stationed at the entrance stopped her and looked behind her."Name and position?""I am SleeperBuild. I have with me a bounty." She said in a voice that was thicker."What bounty?""The Glitch Overlord and his companion." she said and the guard froze for a second. He looked over her shoulder with disbelief."That is impossible." He argued.Lina scoffed and twitched her lips."Everyone looks down on me hence the name." She said and turned to the captives she had in her grip. She tugged at the chains and they went on their knees. "Check it out

  • CH.70: One Last Branch

    The ground had become dust. Rocks crushed into crusts, the space filled with the clash of Jax's energy and Eldric's. Jax kept pushing back, playing defense while Eldric charged with the full force of an offense."Lina, anytime now please."Eldric was bleeding on the side of his head but he didn't seem to feel the pain. Jax didn't want to hurt him any further. Jax, on the other hand, had Vortex Core sealing his wounds steadily.With each fight and usage of his skills, the system kept unlocking his level, elevating his physical and mental stats.Eldric launched a boulder toward Jax which he caught in the air. He mirrored Eldric's object compulsion to turn the boulder into packed sand and it rained down between them. Eldric blew it toward Jax and he evaded the attack."I got it. Read it now!" Lina said suddenly, her voice high-pitched.Jax reached into the system in his mind and began the download. He set the output format to elixir.[Glitch Overlord System: Key Data Download Complete.]

  • CH.69: Poisoned

    The journey through the Forbidden Wilds wasn't as dangerous as the first time Jax had passed through there with his friends. He directed their path more easily this time. He and Lina reached the underground station and channelled through the tunnels.Jax's heart rate climbed. His pulse quickened with anticipation. His face broke into a wide smile, hands twitching as he couldn't wait to see everyone again. He could almost imagine how Mira would worry endlessly about him.The space was dark when they entered. His expectations began to falter, his eyes squinting as he looked around. The entire space had been emptied of all the facilities it once held, structures crushed to the floor like something had rampaged through and destroyed everything they had built there."A waste of time." Lina said. Jax's eyes burned with anger but he didn't have the energy for it."Mira…" his voice trailed off. "Orin. Eldric." He spoke their names like each one drove a shard of hot metal into his chest."Your

  • CH.68: Checkmate

    The old Creators led the team of nine to where the flight was positioned before giving the final instruction."This operation depends on the cooperation of this team. While the Glitch Overlord carries out his mission, the others will make sure he fulfils the goal. End the Sentinel Protocol and return."The sound of the blades nearly drowned out FX3's statement. The group got themselves into the cargo, the sound of the blades increasing. The air went wild, blowing aggressively as they got themselves strapped into their seats.Lina took a seat next to Jax and he looked at her with wary eyes."What?" He shouted so she could hear him.The cargo rose into the air, moving in the direction led by the flight."I don't trust you." She said. "You had them recode the NPCs into medium-level players. What are you planning?""An escape?" Jax suggested with a tone that carried humour. Lina's face stayed firm. She actually considered that Jax might not be lying about finding smart ways around things
