When Cblack first heard the news, especially after seeing countless players praising him, he was completely stunned.
His guild leader even rallied members to celebrate, calling him the brightest star in the game. Guildmates who had once sneered at him were now singing his name as if he had achieved something legendary.
But Cblack knew the truth. Those techniques weren't his creation. Every skill in that video came from the Flowing Light guild—the guild that stood at the very peak of the game.
Yes, they were rivals. Learning an enemy's technique was one thing; there was even an old saying, "Use the barbarians' tricks to defeat the barbarians." But to pass off another's hard work as his own? That gnawed at his conscience.
When he confessed these doubts to his friends, they only fell silent. None of them encouraged him to speak up on the forums. Instead, they told him to act like nothing had happened.
"Just don't mention it," they said. "Pretend you never heard a thing."
