Chapter 14: KaiZen And Tetsu
Somewhere in the city, a small and dimly lit room inside an old building was filled with noise. Loud chatter echoed from the four corners of the room.
At the far corner, where the smell of old wires and energy drinks lingered, two screens flickered in sync. Out of the six computers in the room, only two were powered on.
And on both screens, the game Rise of Legends was showing.
On one screen, a sleek figure moved quickly through the jungle. He wore dark and lightweight armor against his bare body. In each of his hands were curved blades that glinted faintly under the game's lighting.
It was Kairo, a fast jungle assassin. And above the moving hero lies the player's name. It was KaiZen.
The player behind the screen had his fingers resting calmly on the keyboard, casually flicking through the minimap to show different parts of the lanes occasionally.
On the second screen, a tall woman in an armor stood at the bottom lane. She carried a heavy-looking hammer. Her armor looked sturdy but light enough for movement. Her face was half-covered by a sleek mask, and her eyes glowed faintly.
It was Mira, and above her was the player's name, Tetsu.
The two screens glowed brightly as their heroes moved in perfect rhythm,
KaiZen and Tetsu were fighting their way through the Arc rank. They disguised themselves behind low-ranked alt accounts.
The game had already begun to shift into the mid-to-late stages.
