In the middle of the city, in one of the tallest buildings, the headquarters of an eSports team focused on several of the most popular current games.
In the break room, the current champion of Empire was sleeping, missing practice. His team's coach, arms crossed, said, "Hey, Wallkyn, why aren't you training? The qualifiers are next week."
Wallkyn opened his eyes, making a disgusted face. "How rude. Can't you see I'm sleeping?"
Wallkyn turned on his side, going back to sleep on the couch, only to hear his coach speak in an irritated voice. "That's the problem. You should have your butt in the chair, training, not sleeping. Go to the training room now."
Wallkyn got up, taking a piece of paper from his pocket with a message from a teammate that read:
[The Lord of Shadows has returned]
The coach grabbed the paper, making Wallkyn feel as if his coach's anger was emanating from his body while looking at Wallkyn.
