The opulent bedroom felt a little less suffocating now, the faint hum of the System and the presence of Casper providing a strange sense of comfort. Anastasia lay back on the plush bed, her mind already racing with plans and strategies. A company… yes, that was an excellent idea. A way to establish herself, build a reputation independent of the Marcani family drama, and perhaps even influence events from behind the scenes.
She drifted off to sleep, her dreams filled with swirling numbers, complex algorithms, and the tantalizing prospect of building a new empire. The memory of her previous life in New York City—the thrill of closing deals, the satisfaction of outsmarting rivals—flickered through her subconscious.
The next morning, Anastasia awoke with a renewed sense of purpose. She stretched languidly, feeling the stiffness in her muscles from sleeping in an unfamiliar bed.
Anastasia opened her laptop as she sat on her bed laying on her stomach.
Nxy: Tsk tsk all losers can't even beat a rookie like me? Aren't you all supposed to be some top hackers or something though I have no rank I must say you all are just stupid!
@everyone, if you have the guts come and challenge me!
After ending that someone sent her a message
She pushed on it,
Hacker 100
Nickname: The Thousand Face Man
He expected her challenge, Anastasia just sweetly smiled and she yawned. Awesome though he is on the top one hundred chart it is still good enough for her!

Casper zipped around Anastasia's head, his translucent form practically buzzing with excitement.
"Oh, this is getting interesting! A challenge from The Thousand Face Man! He's notoriously difficult to track down – rumored to have mastered countless disguises and hacking techniques."
Anastasia smirked, a predatory glint in her eyes.
"Let him come," she said coolly, her fingers already flying across the keyboard.
"I'm Nyx, and I don't back down from a challenge."
She typed a short, dismissive reply:
Nyx: Bring it on, Thousand Face. Let's see if you can handle a little heat.
She leaned back against the pillows, observing the Hacker Cyber chat with detached amusement.
In the chat so many comments went through most of them saying how arrogant Nyx was.
The Hacker Cyber chat exploded with a flurry of messages, the digital space buzzing with anticipation and speculation.
User123: Whoa, Nyx is throwing down the gauntlet! Taking on The Thousand Face Man right out of the gate?
ShadowBlade7: She's got guts, I'll give her that. But The Thousand Face is a legend! No rookie can beat him.
CyberGhostX: This is going to be epic! I'm placing my bets on The Thousand Face, but it'll be fun to watch either way.
CrimsonViper: Nyx is just showing off. Thinks she's all that and a bag of chips.
PixelPusher: I heard Nyx is new and arrogant she thinks she can take down The Thousand Face Man
The comments continued to pour in, a digital tide of opinions and predictions. Anastasia ignored them, her focus solely on the incoming challenge from The Thousand Face Man. She knew he wouldn't announce his attack openly. He was far too skilled for that. He would likely try to slip in unnoticed, exploiting a vulnerability in her system or launching a subtle attack designed to test her defenses.
Casper zipped closer, his form shimmering with a faint anxiety.
"Host, I'm detecting unusual activity on the network," he whispered urgently.
"Multiple probes attempting to penetrate your firewall."
Anastasia's eyes narrowed, her fingers poised over the keyboard.
"Show me," she commanded, and Casper projected a holographic display showcasing the incoming attacks. They were sophisticated and welldisguised, weaving through the network like shadows.
Anastasia called her fire wall the Nine Moon Red Scorpion. The moment one tried it was if one could find themselves endless abyss allowing her to hack into there firewall.
After taking down few people in under five minutes she already found herself she made three million.
She decided she should stop here.
On the end Thousand Face Men
"Damn it, my new record has been beaten by this arrogant rookie!" The young man name Austin said. He was hacker in Nine Tail Fox Cyber Organization.
PixelRicket: Wow you were beat can you even seat still?
Austin loved a challenge as he looked at the chat and sent a message to Nyx.
Thousand Face Man: let's change our battle way and transfer the battle field into reality. Do you dare? You decide on the battlefield
Nyx: Sure sure but it would be in full three million if I beat you! Let's go after the Wyr Company
After that Anastasia and Austin both went against each other who would be able to break the firewall in Wyru Company. Anastasia not only trapped Thousand Face Man, but she also created a virus.
After Anastasia was done she logged off and she stretched out her arms she earned another three million making it six million rubles.
The Hacker Cyber chat erupted once more, the volume of messages reaching a fever pitch.
User456: WHAT?! She trapped The Thousand Face Man?!
ShadowBlade7: No way! This Nyx is a beast!
CyberGhostX: Three million rubles?! That's insane! She's making a killing!
CrimsonViper: Beginner's luck. It won't last.
PixelPusher: I am starting to believe in Nyx she is actually really good!
Casper zipped around Anastasia's head, his translucent form practically vibrating with excitement and awe.
"Host, you were incredible! Your firewall was impenetrable, and that virus... ingenious!" he exclaimed.
Anastasia leaned back against the pillows, a faint smile playing on her lips.
