This was the Sunday before the players heading to Kelta passed through the portal in Morealis.
After the members of the Gamers Guild, except Zack who hadn't joined them that day, finished eating at the fast food restaurant, they decided to catch a movie together.
They laughed, shared snacks, and immersed themselves in the film before heading home for the night. It had been an ordinary yet enjoyable day, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits.
However, when Pierre returned home and set his keys down, his phone rang unexpectedly. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw Zack's name.
Why is Zack calling me at this late hour? Pierre thought as he picked up the phone.
"Hello."
"Pierre, are you free right now? I really need to talk. Can we meet?" Zack asked, his voice unusually subdued.
"Huh? Man, I just got home. Is this really urgent?"
