James woke up the next morning to his phone buzzing nonstop on the nightstand.
He picked it up and saw hundreds of notifications filling the screen while messages, missed calls, stream clips, news alerts, and contact requests from random people he didn't know scrolled past faster than he could read them. His name was still everywhere across every Challenger network and news site, with people calling him the Necromancer of Team Zero in every headline.
He ignored most of it while scrolling through the noise until he stopped at a message from an unfamiliar number.
Unknown: Hey James, this is Amelia.
Unknown: From high school. I don't know if you remember me.
Unknown: We're having a class gathering tonight.
Unknown: A few people asked if you could come after seeing the stream.
James typed back.
James: How did you get my number?
The reply came quickly.
Amelia: Someone still had it from the old class contact list.
