Alex placed the game helmet on his head and entered the game. Soon, he found himself back at the bridge where he had been fighting against the octopus boss!
Harkor was there, seemingly unaware of anything unusual. Time had stopped during the server's closure, so for an NPC like Harkor, everything appeared normal.
Mary and Emma also appeared, entering the game simultaneously with Alex.
"Keep attacking the octopus! This is a fight we can win!" Harkor yelled as he lunged forward to attack the boss once more.
Unable to simply stand by, Alex joined the fray, leaping in to strike the octopus with his Shadow Strike ability. His Doppelganger ability proved invaluable, providing both additional attacks and distractions for the boss while Harkor and the real Alex focused on damaging it.
