If there is a hell on earth, it is the 16th floor of Al-Hazmi Towers.
That's where my boss reigns. Cold, arrogant, untouchable. Every employee fears him, hates him, whispers curses about him after meetings. I do too. I've memorized the way he slams his pen on the table when he's annoyed, and the way his voice drops when he's about to cut someone down.
By day, I am just another staff in his empire, pushing papers, arranging files, invisible. He doesn't even know my name, and that's fine by me-I don't want him to.
But at night... I'm someone else.
NightFalcon. A fighter in Mobile Legends.
There, I'm not invisible. I'm sharp. I'm strong. I'm alive.
Last night, I met a new teammate in-game. He calls himself AegisKnight. Cocky as hell. Bossy. Annoying.
But also... brilliant. Together, we won three matches in a row.
I hated how much fun I had.
If only I knew then...
That the arrogant player I was cursing at behind my screen
was the very same man I hated most in this world.
