The classes I skipped, the money I wasted, the laziness, the indulgent nights, and the people I loved wrongly—these bills, I’ve been paying them back all these years.

It’s now 11:04 PM.
Alone, scrolling through Talus event info, with only the screen lighting up the room.
At that moment, it suddenly became clear—

This isn’t some airdrop benefit,
It’s clearly a hunting ground.

An expected reward pool of nearly 100,000 U is right there (not exaggerating), and the real prey isn’t anyone else—it’s precisely those who think “I should be able to get on the leaderboard.”

I turned off the screen.
Stared at my reflection in the darkness, and smiled.

No need to form groups, no need to chase the leaderboard.
Some games—understanding them is enough.
