I thought those two days would never end. Or we’d get cancelled before getting [i]this[/i] far. Oops! I guess I better not jinx it, huh? But man that sure was a long one to get us started.”[/color] Two days had passed since the now viral Corpse Collector incident. Talk of the matter was running rampant all over Purple Crown and no doubt the numerous other academic centers across the globe. If it wasn’t about the now exposed Hacker, it was about the newly reformed Ebony Strykers and their enigmatic leader. While the majority of the DGO’s populace were outright amazed by the battle that had taken place, some were thinking more provoking ideas. How was Corpse Collector able to commit such advanced hacks? Why was she hellbent on destroying the Black King? The rumors seemed to indicate that she was an agent sent by a rival Guild to destroy the Strykers before they could rise to power but even that wasn’t entirely viable. But aside from the proportions of these recent events, life had returned to a relative state of normalacy. Student President Yoshino Tsugumi was back in getting things down at Purple Crown with Maribel Harper at her heels. The Blue King was patrolling the halls even now for vigilance and making sure no one skipped the last few minutes of the school day for early access to Deep Ground. Though in truth, she was doing exactly that. Apparently the issue with Corpse Collector had gotten to the point where the World Government had to get involved. Yet the most they were willing to do was update all of Deep Ground Online’s servers, apparently putting in place new patches and updates to the game as a whole. But as for the matter of Corpse Collector herself? They treated it as simply the rivalries of this present generation, something for the youth to handle on their own. [color=6ecff6]“Seems like adults really are useless, huh? Guess that’s why you know who is doing you know what,”[/color] Bel said with a grin and a wink to…actually, who was she even talking to? That answer wouldn’t be answered because soon enough the Blue King received a PM from her Guild notifications. And what she read made her frown briefly. [color=6ecff6]“Two new players joining the Cobalt Bruisers? And the return of a certain tiger? Well this can’t be good. And I bet it’s gonna take us another ten months to solve this mystery! That’s not too bad though. Just more time for me to spend with my Jukey and build some nice character development,”[/color] she said, anticipating what the future would bring. “Looks like a certain someone is making their move….” Seriously…who was she talking to?
