'It's him…'
The world really was small. Just a few days ago, Ethan had beaten this guy half to death in the real world. And now? He ran into him in-game.
That guy was none other than Trent.
Last time Ethan had seen Celeste, she mentioned Trent was in a coma from a severe concussion. No one knew when he'd wake up.
Ethan had spent seven days grinding mobs in Ashen Gorge since then. That must've been enough time for Trent to wake up and log back in.
Ethan still recognized Trent's in-game avatar, they had teamed up in dungeons before, back in his previous life. Now, watching him walk into the Auction House, Ethan smirked and sent a message to Skyblade:
"Send a few rogues my way. I'm at the Harmony City Auction House."
The reply came almost instantly.
"Got four nearby. They'll be there soon. Need more?"
"That's enough. By the way, the guild's upgraded, we're at Level 4 now. We can hold 10,000 members."
