The much-anticipated cyberpunk holographic game was about to launch, and Jonathan hit the jackpot, getting chosen as a beta tester. But things take a bizarre turn. He realized he wasn't just playing some holographic game – he'd been transported to an actual parallel universe. The moment he logged in, he felt something was off. Question: What do you do when you discover that your in-game identity is the Federation's most wanted, and you're undercover in the official investigation department?
"I've taken care of all the enemies who were directly hostile to me, and I've fulfilled my promise to save others," Jonathan said. "But there's still one most important thing left undone."
Moss immediately made a connection: "Is it about the Dark Realm?"
Jonathan nodded, his eyes hiding an indescribable calm.
"Have you figured out what to do?" Moss asked.
"I have," Jonathan replied.
Moss had access to the intelligence of the investigative department and knew quite a bit about the players. Jonathan didn't need to explain anything extra to it. But external intelligence was just that – external. Moss needed to hear Jonathan's exact thoughts.
"The military has surrounded the Lost City's Dark Realm. With your abilities, you could force your way in to make the choice, but what about the others?" Moss said. "They can't get through the encirclement. Just because you can pass through alone doesn't mean you can take others with you safely."
