A text box appeared in the air before his new, spectral eyes: V1.0.1 INSTALLED. LEGION ACQUIRED. COMMENCING EXTRACTION.
Leo stared at the screen, his eyes burning from hours of scrolling through forums. There it was, glowing in a suspicious neon font: Astral Chain Free Download (v1.0.1)
The progress bar crawled across the screen like a digital centipede. 10GB... 15GB... 20GB. As the file finished, a strange prompt appeared, one Leo had never seen before: INITIALIZING SYNC... NEURAL LINK ESTABLISHED. A text box appeared in the air before

"Neural link? It’s just a game," Leo muttered, double-clicking the .exe file.
The screen didn't launch a game. It went pitch black. Then, a thin, glowing blue line appeared in the center of the monitor. It didn't stay on the glass. It drifted out into the air of his bedroom, a literal chain of light pulsing with a low, hummed frequency.
