"That's a winning streak! It's been so long since a winning streak appeared outside the top twenty of the Novice Rankings."
"True. Who would have thought that by fighting against him constantly, we were only fanning the flames?"
"Damn, this is a first-level streak, meaning whoever defeats him would get another 100 coins in addition to the usual 100 coins."
The crowd surrounding Max was in chaos. Their eyes burned with greed, fixated on the glowing number '11' atop his cube—a mark of his undefeated streak.
But even as their desire to claim his spot grew, caution tempered their actions. They had seen the ruthless efficiency with which Max defeated his opponents, and they knew he was no ordinary challenger.
