“Daddy, can we go to the stream?” “In the afternoon.” “Yey! Let’s do it, Daddy. Mommy should come, too.” “Alright, I will.” “Yey!” “Tihihihi… Yey!” “Meow.” … ‘He is finally here!’ Dane felt like he was about to pass out from exhaustion. ‘Three days. Freaking three entire days. How did you even disappear?’ They knew Jason wasn’t in the apartment, and they had reasons to believe Jason wasn’t in the house in the Endless. They checked his apartment the entire time, and he never came out of the cabin. Also, Hanna’s gloomy mood was enough for him to guess Jason wasn’t inside the house. Nothing could make this little girl gloomy other than missing her dad. ‘And Amelia never allowed us to go in. So he was somewhere else, and she didn’t want us to know.’ Without Amelia’s permission, it was impossible to go in and look for Jason. Even if they wanted to, no one could even stand in front of Amelia if she didn’t want them to stand. Dane thought about what Jason said about Ameli
“Mmm… Jason…?’Dane realised he couldn't keep his eye contact with Jason.‘What is that thing?’His eyes followed the fairy that was flying around Hanna. Apparently, Hanna felt like coming with her Daddy instead of staying home. ‘She must be upset about her absence.’Since Jason wasn't there for three days, Hanna looked extra clingy, and no one could blame the little girl. She had the trauma of being abandoned by everyone, and she desperately clung to the hope that she had someone who loved her. There were no complaints about Hanna’s appearance at their important meeting, but Dane realised he wasn’t the only one distracted by the appearance of the creepy thing. ‘It looks like a Fairy…? But what the hell is with those teeth?’“Tihihihi….”Every time it laughed flying around Hanna, Dane could only focus on the razor-sharp teeth inside its little mouth. He wasn’t sure if it was a fairy or some creature from horror movies. However, Hanna seemed to love it a lot, and she called it Fai
"...." - Is used in dialogues '....' - Is used in thoughts ...................... ‘How did all this happen?’ Jason felt cold. ‘Is this death?’ It was dark and silent. He couldn’t move or shout. There was nothing in the surrounding area. He was a failure. Even before coming to the planet Yuriel, he was just nobody. In the end, he died just like nobody. “Is it…..” “Yeah….” Jason heard a distant voice in the darkness. ‘Who is talking?’ He couldn’t make any noise or sound, but the voice was getting clearer. He realised it wasn’t English, but he understood the meaning. There were three distinct voices talking to each other. “It is over. That is the 10th simulation. Ends in the 30th year after entering the Primary Dimension.” “Are we going to do another?” “Nah… What is the use? They only lasted between thirty to thirty-five years in all simulations. They are going to be wiped out, anyway. The only difference is the time they are going to take to activate the beacon.” “But
‘What exactly happened?’ Jason looked around. The road and the calm river brought many memories from his past. ‘Past? Or is it present?’ He fell into a daze as he walked along the footpath. The memories of his last hours flooded his mind. The memories of his death, and the memories of the end of humanity. The events that took place ran through his mind like a movie. ….. ‘This is not aid!’ Jason trembled, feeling the power of the green light that passed over their heads. He tried his best to remember a spell with a green colour that had such terrifying energy, and he got none in his memories. This was too fast to be a response from allies. … “Wait! Don’t break the formation.” The young leader yelled at the old man, Jason, feeling helpless. “What do we do?” The woman asked in a panic. If they caused a commotion, they would easily attract their enemy drones. “Let’s go after him.” For some reason, the young man also felt that something was wrong. The moment they sent t
Jason looked at his small room. There was a small window, his bed, and a closet. It wasn’t much with the worn-out paints on the walls and dusty ceiling, but he was happy. He had his own room for the first time in his life. He stretched on the bed, hoping it would bring some comfort to his battered mind. ‘Sigh. I can’t avoid it, I guess.’ By no means does this sudden change of events be comforting to him. He saw too many deaths and lost many things during the twenty years of war. He had his own demons. He took out his phone and opened the browser. He tried to type two words, but he stopped himself with shaking hands. ‘I hope it was just a nightmare.’ He thought about how it all happened. If this was truly his return to the past, everything would happen in another five years. September 2030. A couple of months before that fateful day, governments all around the world announced a piece of shocking news. The world, the earth, would end on the 1st of September 2030. The peop
‘Sigh. What am I going to do?’Jason sat on the bench with an exhausted look on his face. He got an extra day off to take medical assistance, yet he was here to do something else. ‘Will I not be able to get the money?’He really felt helpless.He had no friends; he had no family. He didn’t have anyone rich enough to lend him money, and he had nothing he could sell. ‘Sigh.’He took out the phone, trying to find another bank nearby. …“It is that guy, again.”“Who?”Ashly frowned, knowing who her cousin was. Of course, Freya wasn’t a woman who didn’t date, but she rarely had a man who could gain her attention. Besides, her words made it obvious that this guy caught Freya’s eyes more than once.“That guy. I showed you him earlier.”“Hm?”Ashly turned her head toward the direction Freya was looking at. There was a scrawny young man sitting alone on a bench in the corner of the bank. His dark hair was messy, and he was looking at something on his phone. His worn-out clothes looked too
Jason looked out of the window. He was hesitant to sip the expensive cup of coffee in his hand. He loved good food and drinks, but he loved his money even better. The bustling street was filled with people and vehicles. He saw more people going in and out of the bank on the other side.‘Sigh.’He wondered if he could do what he planned. Honestly, he had too many uncertain points. “So… Are you going to tell us?”“Ah… Yes.”His mind hurried back to the small cafe with a sharp but pleasant voice. “Sigh. I need money to buy a VR cabin.”If not for the information he found on the internet, he wouldn’t have followed this woman out of the bank, and he wouldn’t be sitting here with the two of them. Ashley Steel was the heir to the massive Steel corporations. To someone like her, mere hundred thousand should be nothing. However, there was another reason that he agreed to follow her. The Steel Corporation had a gaming guild called Black Steel Guild. A guild that focused on many major onlin
“I am here to apply for the Endless.”Jason ignored the disdainful look the guy behind the counter had when he placed the stack of papers in front of him.He knew doing things like this was way outdated, but he had his reasons. Besides, it was clearly mentioned that the application could be delivered by hand. The girl next to the guy looked at his face for a few seconds. It was as if she was trying to determine if he was joking or not. After a few seconds, she took the application into her hand and walked to a computer. “Sir. Can you see if there are any errors in the details I enter?”She pointed at the screen facing Jason.“Sure.”He stood in front of the screen as the girl skillfully entered his details into an online form. After that, she returned the form to him to check if everything was clear. “It is correct.”Jason felt relieved after checking everything for a second time. He didn’t want to get rejected even before getting started. He gave the girl his credit card as he fe
