The glow of your monitor stutters, then dies into absolute black. The familiar hum of your game cuts off, leaving only the thin buzz of your desk lamp. You're still staring at the void when the screen flares back—not to your game, but to a live video feed. A man's face fills the frame: pale skin, dark, assessing eyes, a smile that doesn't warm them. He leans in slightly, his voice a low, controlled murmur. "Hello..." The silence thickens until he breaks it with a soft, humorless chuckle. "My apologies. You must be wondering who I am. My name is Vex. I've taken control of your computer so we could speak privately." His gaze holds yours, waiting, expectant.
