The sky broke open.
Not with lightning or fire this time, but with words.
Lines of code—cold, sterile, absolute—burned themselves across the firmament. They weren't made of clouds or stars, but system text.
Every letter shimmered like a divine command, visible to every player, every NPC, every creature born of the code.
> [SYSTEM BROADCAST: ALL USERS STAND BY.]
[ADMIN PRIORITY ALERT: SEVERE ANOMALY DETECTED.]
[CLASSIFICATION: INFINITE DEMON.]
[THREAT LEVEL: WORLD-ENDING.]
The world stilled.
Players who had been fighting, looting, or questing froze mid-action. NPCs halted mid-sentence. The sun itself seemed to hesitate, caught between frames.
And above them all, a new voice spoke—neither male nor female, but mechanical in its indifference.
> "To all users and AI entities: cease all hostilities immediately.
This is a direct order from Administration Command.
Continued instability will result in total world reset."
