Chapter 63. Hell on Earth
The wind on the rooftop of the Northern Star was hot. Not the heat of a desert sun, but the heat of thousands of fires merging into one massive furnace. Oliver had just managed to sit up. His spine screamed in protest. The leg he had shot himself in the King’s Dimension felt like it was being sawed apart with a dull blade. His right hand trembled violently. “Claire...” Oliver called. His voice was hoarse, swallowed by the explosions below. “I’m here,” Claire crawled toward him. She leaned her back against a dented central AC unit. Her face was smeared with soot, a gash cut across her forehead. “Don’t move too much. Your body looks like a puzzle put together wrong.” Oliver blinked. His vision was still blurred. The world looked like a smeared oil painting. Red dominated everything. “How long?” Oliver asked. “How long were we in there?” Claire glanced at her cracked tactical watch. “On my clock... only two hours,” she said quietly. She looked up at the bl
Chapter 62. The Paradox Escape
“LET ME GO, YOU BASTARD!” Oliver’s scream wasn’t aimed at Lucyan, not at the Old King, and not at Claire. He was screaming at his own right hand. That hand, flesh and bone with nails blackened by the Devour effect, was gripping Claire’s ankle with inhuman force. The pressure was so intense that a sickening crack echoed from her leg. “Ver! It hurts!” Claire cried out. She was trying to drag Oliver’s paralyzed body toward the fractured portal in the ceiling, but he was holding her back. “It’s not me!” Oliver hissed, cold sweat mixed with blood streaming down his face. “The system... it’s rebooting! It’s taking over my motor nerves!” In his retina, red notifications flickered wildly, overlapping with the visual distortion caused by the glitch. [SYSTEM RECOVERY: 15%] [MOTOR OVERRIDE: RIGHT ARM - ACTIVE.] [PRIORITY COMMAND: RETURN TO THE THRONE.] The Hunter X System was panicking. It knew its host was trying to escape. It knew its host had already de
Chapter 61. The Mirror of the Future
The illusion didn’t last long. The moment Oliver rejected the offer, the moment he shouted “I refuse” and slammed into the fabric of reality with Zero Logic, the mask of the room shattered. The peeling hospital walls melted like wax under fire. The window that once showed a beautiful garden cracked apart, revealing the cold, empty void of space beyond. The wooden parquet floor twisted into pulsing biomechanical metal, thick cables as wide as human arms slithering across it like serpents. And that rocking chair... It wasn’t a rocking chair. It was a dialysis machine. A version from hell. The structure was made of black dragon bone and rusted iron. Along its backrest, thousands of thin needles and infusion tubes pierced directly into the back, neck, and skull of the old man seated there. “Cough...” The old man, the First King, convulsed. Thick black blood spilled from his mouth, dripping onto his frail lap. Oliver staggered back. His translucent l
Chapter 60. The Final Door
The white light surrounding them slowly faded, leaving black specks in Oliver’s vision. He braced himself for anything. A throne of dragon bones? A sea of blood? Or maybe another vacuum like the place Lucyan had brought him before? But when his vision focused… Oliver froze. This place… was normal. Too normal. They stood inside a small 4x4 meter room. The floor was old, dusty parquet wood. The walls were painted a faded cream, peeling in several places. The air smelled stale, a mix of antiseptic, bland porridge, and wilting lilies. “This…” Claire lowered her rifle slightly, her eyes scanning the room in confusion. “Is this a hospital room?” In the corner, a large window stood open. Thin white curtains swayed gently in the breeze. Outside, Oliver could see a vast flower garden. Sunflowers, roses, tulips… all blooming under the warm afternoon sun. A view that had no place in Purgatory. And in the center of the room, with his back turned to them, was a wooden r
Chapter 59. Hollow Victory
The white light was not warm. It was not cold either. It was… sterile. It felt like walking inside a massive fluorescent tube. There was no up, no down. Gravity was only a faint concept maintained by the last fragments of Oliver’s sanity. He staggered forward. Every step he took left behind a trail of shattered pixels in the empty air. His body… his body was no longer flesh. He looked at his own hands. His skin was transparent, revealing a skeletal structure of light beneath. His fingers flickered in and out of existence like a bad television signal. Zero Logic had given him the power of a god, but the cost was his existence as a human. He was being erased, slowly, by a universe trying to correct an error. But what hurt more than his collapsing body was the feeling inside him. “Bravo, Little Ace…” Lucyan’s applause still echoed in his ears. Clear. Mocking. Oliver had won. He had defeated the Demon King at his own table. He had bent reality, turned absolute defeat i
Chapter 58. Zero Logic
“Impossible…” The word left Lucyan’s mouth not as a statement, but as denial. His eternal face, which for thousands of years had shown nothing but boredom and arrogance, now cracked. His pitch-black eyes widened, his pupils trembling as they searched for logic within the chaos Oliver had created. Before Lucyan’s eyes, Oliver Warner was no longer human. He was a Glitch. Oliver’s body flickered between existence and nothingness. His pale skin fractured like ancient ceramic shattered on impact, and from those cracks, a blinding white light, the light of Zero Logic, radiated outward, burning his black suit to ash. Thick black blood streamed from his eyes, nose, and ears, yet he did not fall. He stood upright, hovering a few inches above the marble floor that itself glitched into binary code. “You said this was your world,” Oliver’s voice echoed, layered with digital static. “You said you determined the value of the cards. You said mathematics was absolute.” Oliver rais
