Jax sat in silence, his eyes fixed on the ground, while the air was still heavy with what had happened with Lira. His thoughts tangled between guilt, sorrow, and the promise he had made to Zela—until, suddenly, a series of notifications broke into his vision.
"[The GRB has ended]"
"[Congratulations to the guild 'The Heros Guild' for completing level (S)]"
"[Calculating rewards...]"
An ominous silence filled the place. Jax frowned, sensing that something else was about to happen.
"[Since you are the only guild to have completed the event, additional rewards will be granted]"
"[After reviewing the performance of all participants, it has been determined that you have violated the rules and spirit of the GRB]"
"[Evidence: No guild in the past 437 years has entered the GRB (S) chambers. Sabotage attempt detected]"
Jax's heart pounded hard. The system was rarely this direct, and every word seemed to vibrate with the wrath of something beyond even the gods.
