Chapter 85: Nexus Node (2)
Alex kept swallowing nervously as he stared at the Nexus Node headquarters.
His eyes were a swirl of excitement, anticipation, and just a hint of tension.
His heart pounded like it was going to explode, and his palms were already soaked with sweat.
I... I actually got accepted into Nexus Node!
Nexus Node—one of Babel’s megacorps, the overlord of the entire city’s communication networks.
To Alex, who’d grown up in a typical middle-class home, this place was the ultimate dream job.
When he’d received the acceptance notice, he had to rub his eyes over and over to believe it.
It was the most dramatic moment of his life—and now, he was about to cross the threshold into a brand-new one.
Like a wide-eyed tourist, Alex looked around with a nervous, thrilled expression.
The massive walls surrounding the Nexus Node HQ easily looked over twenty meters tall.
They rose, solid and unyielding, as if the building were trying to sever all connection with the outside world. In the center of the wall, a colossal gate loomed with overwhelming presence.
A sixteen-lane road stretched out from the gate, seemingly endless—like a highway to some enormous fortress.
