He didn't just want to win; he wanted to break the game’s physics. He triggered the 'Egoist' overdrive. His avatar began to move with a terrifying, jagged speed, teleporting inches at a time to intercept every pass. He was a ghost in the machine, a glitch that refused to be deleted.
The whistle blew. A rival striker lunged, executing a complex dribble pattern. But the logic was already five steps ahead. Before the striker could even pivot, Jax’s avatar flickered. It was a blur of frame-perfect movement. CRACK.
Another goal. Then another. The scoreboard couldn't keep up.
