Nice Time With Friends

Seeing the announcement, a sigh escapes the corner of my lips. The holographic screen displaying the results reveals that I've secured the top spot in the tournament, making me the number one participant.

"I am not even in the top ten of highest points earners," I say with a sigh again, feeling a tinge of disappointment. While being the overall winner is an achievement, I had hoped to see my name higher on the list of highest points earners.
