"What the hell! A decade? Are you serious? Has it really been that long since I disappeared?"
Kaisen jumped from his seat, the seat belt the only thing keeping him from launching like a startled rocket. He unbuckled it and rushed over to Kara, gripping her shoulders, his eyes bulging like a pufferfish at a disco.
It all made sense now. If it had been a decade, then these changes were more plausible.
If it had been a decade, then Kayden might have pulled off a heist that would make Ocean's Eleven look like child's play, stealing something crucial from the Authority to fight them.
That seemed reasonable, but a whole decade? That was like trying to swallow a watermelon whole.
He had barely felt the two months that had passed in the game world. He couldn't even fathom how people had survived here after the disappearance of 800 million players.
