Jacq was pretty excited when he opened the box from the system after beating the game, Combat. He expected to get a cool new skill. But when he looked inside, he just saw a message titled [SECRET ABOUT THE WAR].
His heart started to race. Anticipation mixed with nerves. He had put in so many hours playing, battling tough opponents. Now, he was getting a promise of something big—something that could change everything. He leaned in close to the screen, ready to read more.
As the words popped up, a chill ran down his back.
[Congratulations, Jacq. You've won Combat, and now you have access to a vital bit of info about the ongoing war]
The voice of the system was calm, but there was a hint of urgency that made Jacq's stomach twist. He had always felt there was more than just a game going on, but this news was way beyond what he thought.
