2024-02-04 02:17:55“The Endless? Isn’t that the name of the game? Is it a coincidence or is there a meaning behind it?”
Jason whispered in confusion.
He had never heard of magical spheres existing within the real world, and he had never heard about making a contract to become a wizard. Besides, he thought this world had knowledge about breaking the genetic shackles. Instead, he seemed to be in a world restricted by the genetic shackles.
Also, Jason felt it was weird for this world to be called The Endless.
“Why is this world called The Endless?”
“Eh?”
He saw the smarter twin giving him another weird look.
However, the man worried about his brother whose life was hanging at the point of the sharp ice.
“Because… Because this world has no end?”
“No end? You better explain that to me.”
Jason knew his question was raising the suspicion, but he had no choice.
If there was no other choice, he might have to end the life of these two to keep his identity a secret.
“There… There is no end to our world. No one knows how big it is or how many continents are there. The magic domains spread across all known continents, but even those areas are almost infinite. Then there are dark lands and chaotic domains where humans can’t live.”
“Hm? What about magic spheres?”
“Magic Spheres?”
The other party looked confused.
“Sigh. How many magic domains are there?”
“Eh… Six?”
“Not seven?”
“No… Only Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, Life, and Death….”
The man looked even more confused.
‘So it is similar to the six known spheres, but there is no seventh sphere.’
Jason fell into thought.
“Hm… Are there places where two or more magic domains clash?”
“Clash…? There are places where some magic domains come into contact, but there are clear boundaries. As far as we know, the most domains in contact are two.”
“Hm… So… One needs to make a contract with a magic being to become a wizard. Am I correct?”
“Yes?”
Jason saw the man looking at the frozen path of ice in confusion.
“Then… Can a person make more than one contract?”
“More than one? But… What is the use?”
“No, I mean more than one contract with beings from multiple domains.”
“Ah… Why would anyone do that? I mean… No powerful being will tolerate such disrespect. But… There are cases where one can make multiple contracts, but only those very weak magical beings will accept such a thing.”
“So?”
Jason raised his brow.
“So?”
The man looked puzzled.
“So what is wrong with that? That will give the wizard the power of multiple domains, right?”
“Eh… It does… But those weaker magical beings can only bring so much to the table. The wizard will only be able to use weak spells, and it will affect everything including the spell-casting speed.”
…
‘This is weird. The magic system is similar to Magic Spheres, and the failure of multiple contracts is similar to those who have two or more Magic Spheres. None of those people advance too far. If that is the case, why does our wizard don't need contracts?’
Jason pondered for a moment.
“What if someone can feel Mana but don’t get a contract?”
“Ah… They can’t be a wizard….”
“Then what about basic spells?”
Jason waved his hand.
“Arcane Shield.”
The blue shield manifested in front of him.
“That is a basic ability of any ability user. People like my brother are extra sensitive to Mana, and people like him have a higher chance of getting a successful contract. Even if one can feel Mana, they need to be accepted by a magical being to become a Wizard. The abilities of the Wizard will depend on the power of the being who makes the contract with him.”
‘What the hell is going on?’
Jason felt this sounded more and more like the Magic Sphere system but in a weird way.
‘Can it be that we… Wizards are making a contract with some unknown being? That justifies why some can be wizards, and some can only be warriors.’
Then he had another problem.
Who made the contract with him?
According to Amelia, he was never on the weak side. If so, the one who made the contract must be an exceptionally powerful magical being. However, he had no idea of such an arrangement.
‘But there are no magical domains in Yuriel. The Magic Spheres are not in a dimension we can visit.’
As strange as it may sound, the little information he got from this person seemed to make more sense to those unanswered questions from Yuriel.
Why did everyone who felt Mana couldn’t be a wizard? Why do people with multiple spheres have fewer spells and less power?
The more it made sense, the more Jason felt confused.
‘The Endless? Where exactly am I?’
He looked at the man in confusion, wondering what else he should dig out from these people.
“What about summoning magic?”
“Summoning magic? Well… Most wizards can summon the underlings of their contractor. It also depends on the power of the being they made a contract with. Lesser beings have no underlings, and the contractor rarely appears. So….”
Jason frowned.There was no seventh Magic Domain, but he had creatures he could summon.
He thought for a moment before pointing his palm toward the ground.
“Arcane Spawn!”
A familiar creature resembling a cross-breed between an insect and a reptile crawled out of the magic circle.
“Kruck. Kruck?”
It looked around in confusion, wondering where its prey was.
“A… A Chaotic Beast.”
“Hm?”
The surprised response made Jason happy.
He was looking for a response from his captives.
“Do you know them?”
He had no idea of the origin of the arcane spawns.
“That… That is a Chaotic Beast from the chaotic domains. Only… Only the most powerful lords from the Wind domain might be able to enslave such a creature.”
‘Wind… Ah…!’
Jason realised his first spell had created a misunderstanding.
However, he finally learned the origin of the mysterious Arcane Spawn. Still, according to this man, the chaotic domain wasn’t a magic domain.
‘This doesn’t give me an answer about the Cosmic Sphere. But what is the connection between this world and the current magic system? And why am I in a place where there is no knowledge about breaking the genetic shackles? Wait!’
Jason realised there was another possibility.
‘Don’t tell me this is where it all began.’
His eyes widened with surprise and worry.
He might be in the land where the magic originated, and it might be the period when the humans first learned to break the genetic shackles.
‘Holy… Am I at the beginning?’
He looked at the scared victim with newfound interest.
He first had to learn all about this mysterious land. Only then he could find the answers he was looking for. ..........
Everyone, sorry for being away for so long. I think I am finally at a place where I can write.
My heartfelt gratitude for all your support and understanding.Hopefully, I am back.

306 - The Messenger
The atmosphere grew heavier, the tension thickening with each breath.The envoys from the Brodice Kingdom stood their ground, their jaws clenched in barely contained frustration.Their eyes—especially those of the Grandmasters—never left Amelia. There was fear there, even if none of them dared to admit it. One step too far, and they knew she could crush them where they stood.Still, their leader stepped forward, holding a scroll with trembling fingers masked by feigned authority.“We are envoys of the Brodice Kingdom,” he declared, voice echoing with forced confidence.“I stand here on behalf of His Majesty—the absolute ruler of our lands. In his name, we extend a proposal of peace. We are willing to lift the bounty on your head... in exchange for removing the bounties you have placed on His Majesty and his subjects.”His words were rehearsed—measured—but anyone could see the nerves behind them.“No.” The room froze.The envoy blinked.“W–What?” Even the officials of Light Shone looked
305 - Tell Me
‘This place… it’s really busy…’ The hooded figure observed the bustling administrative hall in silent awe. He had expected chaos—a disorganised mess of self-proclaimed rulers who were unfit to govern. But instead, what he saw was efficiency. Decisions were being made on the spot, minor issues were being resolved instantly, and orders were being swiftly relayed.Even without direct oversight, everything flowed seamlessly. The alien humans had a system, and they had something else, something his people lacked—Instant communication. He knew of it. They called it a forum or something.‘A divided authority, yet still centralised around a leader…’ His gaze flickered toward the two empty seats in the center of the hall. A symbol of true leadership.Those seated around them were not aristocrats, not nobles, but humble-looking men and women dressed in practical, simple clothing. Yet their eyes were sharp, their minds sharper.Each of them radiated competence.‘These aren’t placeholders. These
304 - An Overwhelming Prescence
‘So, this is Light Shone.’His hidden eyes scanned the streets as he walked leisurely, moving unseen alongside the startled envoys.‘Still too small, but… this is serious potential.’He had slipped out of the carriage as the guards inspected it, effortlessly avoiding their scrutiny. While his invisibility shielded him from their eyes, he still occupied physical space—and he preferred not to take the risk of being noticed.With measured steps, he blended into the bustling streets. What he saw defied his expectations.The village was alive.It wasn’t just busy—it thrived.Shops occupied every available space, their owners negotiating prices with eager customers. People bustled past him, engaged in work yet carrying an air of contentment, their movements purposeful, their faces filled with ease.This was not the Light Shone he remembered.‘Back then, it was different.’It had been just as lively, but the stench of blood clung to the air, and signs of death lurked at every corner. Adventur
303 - The True Kingdom
"Is this... alright, My Lord?""Yes. And pretend I was never here. Once we pass through, you won’t see me again. Do you understand? No one must know I was ever here.""Yes! Yes, My Lord!""And... no one else knows I am here, correct?" The hooded figure’s voice sharpened deliberately."N-No! No, My Lord! We... we are departing soon!" The envoy stammered, his body trembling as he hastily retreated to the far corner of the carriage.‘Sigh… How useless.’The hooded man barely spared him another glance. The Brodice Kingdom had neither the power nor the will to resist the Grand Order that had been issued. It had been nearly a decade since the last decree from the Grand Wizards, and that one had shaken the world, announcing the arrival of an immortal alien.‘But this might be the first time in centuries that they had to step in to stop a minor war.’He turned his gaze to the passing scenery outside the carriage window, watching in silence.No one, aside from the envoy and a handful of high-ra
302 - No Longer Human
"Grandmaster Amelia…""He’s playing with Hanna and his magic," Amelia cut Dane off before he could finish, hanging the freshly washed clothes on the line.Even after a year of constant change in Light Shone, this small household had remained the same. It was still under Amelia’s care. The village’s housing structure remained untouched as new construction projects focused on essential production facilities and accommodations for the new settlers arriving through the ongoing clearing operations. Infrastructure plans were in place, but progress was slow due to the sheer number of projects they were juggling.If Jason or Amelia had wanted, they could have easily upgraded their home—no one would have objected. After all, this small house was the heart of the Crystal Pulse, the centre of absolute power within the faction. Yet, despite its democratic structure, the organization operated with near-perfect coordination. The faction under Magnus from the Secret Service, the Saintess Guild, the
301 - Are You Doing Something Weird
The following day, a massive announcement took the world by storm. News spread rapidly across every platform as the World Builders—the enigmatic developers behind The Endless—finally broke their silence regarding Amelia Erwin and the controversy surrounding Jason Hope and his allies.However, the announcement wasn’t what anyone had expected.In a statement that stunned players worldwide, the World Builders declared, “There are no faults or bugs being exploited by Jason Hope or his allies. All game mechanics, items, and events associated with them are functioning as intended. As such, no corrections are necessary.”The announcement sent shockwaves through the gaming community. Many players had hoped for a clear resolution, perhaps even a punitive response toward Jason Hope and the Crystal Pulse. Instead, the World Builders stood firmly behind their design, acknowledging no wrongdoing on their part or by Jason and his people.But what followed was even more surprising.The World Builder
300 - Grand Order
"What a small place," the hooded figure muttered as he entered the heart of the Brodice Kingdom’s capital. His voice, a slightly older male tone, carried a mix of amusement and disappointment. "And why is their security so bad?" he added, his sharp eyes scanning the bustling streets.Soldiers packed every corner and alley, their inspections meticulous. Even the citizens were forced to pass through layers upon layers of security just to move about. Yet, despite the apparent vigilance, no one noticed him. Draped in a black cloak, the figure walked openly down the middle of the road, his presence going entirely undetected."Well... they have to be careful. That bounty is indeed tempting," he muttered to himself, a sly grin creeping across his hidden face. "Ah, I wish I were as young as I was back then. Maybe I could’ve finished off these weaklings myself for that reward." His voice carried a mocking tone. "The Crystal Pulse? What a bland name for such a daring organisation."He chuckled s
299 - Question With No Answer
"No, I’m saying they’re going overboard.""Isn’t that what they always do? This isn’t the first time The Crystal Pulse has attacked players unprovoked.""We have to do something about it—fast."The discussion had devolved into an argument the moment it started. Some of the most famous gamers across the country had gathered in one place, a rare occurrence in itself. The Endless had grown too big to ignore, and even gamers who had avoided it initially had now established themselves in the challenging yet captivating world of the game.Ironically, most of them seemed to have forgotten that The Crystal Pulse was the primary reason players had been able to thrive in The Endless in the first place. It was The Crystal Pulse’s infrastructure and guidance that allowed players to survive in this mercilessly realistic game. Their success had been the beacon that drew many to the VR game considered the hardest ever created. Yet here they were, plotting ways to overthrow the very organization that
298 - She is Awesome
"We move out in an hour!" Logan’s commanding voice echoed through the camp, followed by a notification on their armbands. The message was clear: time to prepare.Gillian gritted her teeth as she tightened the strap around the wound on her arm, the healing paste already numbing the pain. She had a few healing potions tucked away in her pack, but she knew she couldn’t waste them. Supplies were limited, and every soldier had been issued a fixed amount by Crystal Pulse. While the organization would do whatever it took to keep them alive, this was part of their training—learning to manage resources in the heat of battle.'I heard they’re watching us anyway,' Gillian thought, her mind drifting. Since leaving Light Shone, several Grandmasters had vanished from the village, and she suspected they were nearby, keeping a close eye on the mission. The first and most important rule for Crystal Pulse players was not to die, even if respawning in eighteen hours was an option.'Logan is confident en
