News spread fast, thanks to my army of internet trolls working overtime.
They flooded every platform with tags like #DEGENGUILD1, #ZERODEATHS, and #HANDSOMEGUILDMASTER.
The last one had been a personal request, and the team was more than happy to post it, especially with the extra bonus waiting for them.
They didn't stop there. Phoenix and Nebula took the hit next.
Old clips, failed runs, excuses from past interviews—all dragged back into the spotlight. Comparisons filled the feeds. What they couldn't clear, the Degen Guild finished cleanly.
Frankly, I held no bad blood against them. Unfortunately, I needed a strong example to show just how difficult clearing a dungeon was—something that not even two of the biggest guilds combined could pull off.
"Keep pushing those posts," I said. "And don't forget the rumors."
"Spread word that Dark Rock had been pressuring me for a while. Make it sound dramatic."
