Ren tapped Yes.
["Initializing decryption... Stand by..."]
The machine worked in silence, the hum of high-end data cores spinning up like a soft storm in the walls.
He leaned back into the chair, watching the process with a weary gaze.
A minute later, the message flashed:
["Core integrity verified. No external tampering detected."]
Ren's eyes narrowed.
["Playback ready. Access content?"]
He hovered over the prompt for just a second.
Then tapped it.
The lights in the room dimmed, and the projection began to play.
The face he saw first was undeniable.
Yuuto...
The Guildmaster.
And before the video had even hit the thirty-second mark—
Ren's world would never be the same again.
...
...
[Video playback complete.]
The words flickered across the interface screen, then vanished, leaving only the dim ambient glow of Ren's study.
He didn't move.
He couldn't.
