Biodun stood at the edge of the coalition camp, watching as the first light crept over the horizon, casting an amber glow over the quiet fields. For weeks now, peace had lingered in the air, softening the camp’s usual hum of readiness. It was a time of recovery, a reward for the battles they had fought. But as he breathed in the stillness, a familiar chime rang in his mind, piercing through the calm.
Gssmzzz!
Ding!! New Task Assigned: Investigate the source of an encrypted message.
Biodun’s brow furrowed as he read the notification. This directive felt different—strange, almost foreign within the system. And then, as he accessed the message, he saw a line of text, hidden deep within the system’s coding:
"Beyond these horizons lies a path uncharted. Seek it, if you dare to unlock the next phase."
A thrill coursed through him, tempered by caution. Was this some kind of test? Or something left behind by an unknown hand, challenging him to look beyond the world he knew?
