Conference

Chapter 67: Conference

In the real world, news of the potential danger facing Ashen World Online's player base spread rapidly across social media, forums, and other platforms. So many people—and key shareholders—demanded answers from the company behind the game that it had to act quickly.

On the same day the first-ever worldwide announcement appeared in Ashen World Online, the company—GrayClouds—held a small conference.

The CEO of GrayClouds and creator of Ashen World Online decided to livestream the event from the company's headquarters. Over a million people tuned in, waiting patiently for the man to appear on-screen.

Initially, viewers saw only a small table with a microphone and a single chair. The room was mostly dark, with just the table illuminated, creating an interrogation-room vibe.
