After years of dedication and relentless pursuit, he stands triumphant, only to be blindsided by betrayal. Overnight, leaked messages and scandalous stories flood the internet, transforming Paul from a revered role model to a pariah despised by the Harbinger’s Call community.

Paul is left shocked and bewildered, realizing that his ruthless climb to the top has earned him many enemies eager to see his downfall.

Desperate to salvage his reputation and rebuild shattered friendships, Paul dedicates weeks to making amends. Just as he begins to find his footing, he is inexplicably transported to a familiar yet mysterious room, signaling the start of a new, unexpected journey.

Looking at the dissolving bodies as CP and XP flooded their vision, the trio of Lazarus, Holly, and Irene were all high on adrenaline.

Irene was the first and most vocal to celebrate as the tank named Yoink's body disappeared.

"Holy crap, we just did that! 14 people, all higher level than you two, and we killed them all without any issues!"
