Luri let out a deep sigh as the final level of the mysterious Tower Game collapsed into pixels, signaling her victory.
Her fingers hovered over the keyboard for a moment. Normally, winning a game would give her a sense of satisfaction, but this time… something felt off.
She didn't feel excited.
She felt uneasy.
Her sharp eyes scanned the ending screen, taking in every tiny detail. There was no flashy celebration, no credits rolling—just a blank black screen with a single line of text:
"You have reached the summit. The truth awaits those who can see beyond the code."
Luri frowned. "The hell is that supposed to mean?"
She leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms as she stared at the screen.
For an ordinary player, the game might've seemed like just a difficult tower-climbing challenge—100 floors of puzzles, enemies, and obstacles. But as a hacker, Luri saw patterns where others wouldn't.
She grabbed a pen and a fresh notebook before restarting the game.
