The reason Sterl made this seemingly nonsensical move was that he had discovered a "BUG." The mechanism of [Transcendence] dictated that players could not exit the game during combat. If they forcefully exited, their character would remain frozen in place, completely vulnerable without any protective measures. This meant that anyone could easily kill them.
Of course, this situation only triggered when players couldn't exit the game; the exit button would turn gray. However, the ability to switch accounts through the disk was a different story. The last time it had directly sent Sterl back to reality, and this time, he wanted to see if it would work again.
Sure enough, as he activated it, he immediately felt darkness envelop him.
Then, other hell players and demons nearby saw a figure flicker momentarily, as if the pixels that made up his body had shattered, and he vanished.
No one had any particular thoughts about it.
