Rising Challenges

The system’s hum, once a background noise in Biodun’s mind, had now become a steady drumbeat, a reminder that the world around him was changing, growing more dangerous. This time, its pulse felt sharper, more urgent, demanding his attention in ways it hadn’t before.

Ding! New Task Assigned: Investigate and Neutralize Rogue Threats.

Biodun’s heart sank. He had heard the stories—rogue system users abandoning the rules, abusing their powers for personal gain. Where others saw opportunities to protect and enhance, these users saw the chance to wield chaos like a weapon, and the city had suffered for it. These rogues weren’t just misfits; they were a growing cancer in a system designed for balance.

His gaze flickered to the glowing task screen. The weight of the mission settled over him like an iron shroud.
