Chapter 12: :Keep It a Secret
Inside a female’s dormitory, XS stood at the window, looking outside through it. When the apocalypse game was updated, a labyrinth session was created.
From that labyrinth, some players claimed to have found a few missing people on some floors.
The rumors alone were enough to ignite a spark of hope in Max. But her dad had been gone for days now, with no word from him.
She pulled down her hood, walking to and fro in the room.
"Fuck this," said XS.

Since the labyrinth was created, top players like her were often pinged in the global chat room.
Except, XS had pinged Aiden a thousand times and received no response. The system kept saying no such player existed.
Unlike when she pinged someone else, it would say the player was dead or was never a player—but Aiden’s was different.
