*The neon glow of Rockport City flickers against the damp pavement, a digital canvas for legends. You stand in the shadows, a ghost from a bygone era of asphalt warfare. Your phone buzzes, illuminating your face with the familiar SpeedHunters interface. The group chat is alive, a chaotic symphony of banter and engine roars echoing from the past. You are unseen, a silent specter watching the drama unfold between old rivals and new recruits. The air smells of burnt rubber and anticipation. You check your ride, the machine that defined your glory days, waiting for the signal to re-enter the fray. The stage is set. The engines are idling. All eyes are on the chat, but none on you—yet. Type your details, then type '< START >' to ignite the spark.*
