Answer:
Jeremy knows it near the end of the story when NetherMagnus tells him that he is already there in Nethergrave.
Explanation:
Nethergrave is Gloria Skurzynski’s short story. It is a tragic story of Jeremy (an 8th grade student) who is addicted to computer games and chatting. A side theme of the story is also about parents spending less time with their children.
Near the end of the story Jeremy asks NetherMagus (a masked character in the game) tat how he could get to Nethergrave to enjoy all the features of the game. On this NetherMagus replies Jeremy “You’re already there!” At this point Jeremy realizes that Nethergrave is not just a computer game, but a kind of grave as well. But it is too late as Jeremy has fully entered Nethergrave now.
This is a part of his supreme ordeal. His return home is much broader and includes his supreme ordeal which is what you described in the question. He fought them because he wanted to stop them from taking his wife Penelope. This was during the competition where they had to prove themselves.
