27 Challenges
After they came to the conclusion, they got ready for the process of registering the game company. They had to obtain the necessary documents and permissions. Additionally, they needed to acquire a license to operate legally. This process typically takes one or two days, which is quite straightforward.

While the registration process was underway, they didn't neglect their work. They made great progress on both of the games.

In this bustling industry, Leo's games are making waves with their unique and innovative play style. They have provided hope for those gamers who haven't had a good time and have opened up new possibilities for the future. Players have thoroughly enjoyed the games Leo has created.
Not only gamers but also game developers are grateful to Leo because his games have inspired many new and innovative ideas in game development. The impact Leo's games have had on this area could potentially change the direction of the entire industry.
However, the same sentiment couldn't be shared by all developers. In such a competitive industry, everyone strives to reach the top. Their lives, hopes, and futures are all intertwined with this industry. In this context, if someone threatens their comfort zone or position, naturally, they will feel uneasy and reluctant to accept it.
There are still many people who do not want to see Leo's success. They are unwilling to witness the rise of a younger talent with unlimited potential who could potentially challenge their position in the industry. They are indifferent to the need for new innovation and are content with the industry remaining lackluster. They prioritize their interests over the greater good of society.
This is human nature. People tend to prioritize their interests over the welfare of society.

Veridiania, Astoria Heights.
Astoria Heights, a city nestled within the embrace of Veridiania, is a city of contrasts and dynamics. The changes brought about by the advancement of technology are unimaginable. One can witness the mesmerizing fusion of architecture and advanced technology in this city. Towering skyscrapers with holographic screens make this city seem surreal.
One can see hover cars zipping through airways, guided by the incomplete AI system, which can make people feel the changes this technology has brought to this world and the system.
The streets are alive with activity, as people wander through streets lined with high-end boutiques, fine dining restaurants, and trendy coffee shops. The smell of fresh coffee and the laughter of people trading business deals fill the air. There is life in every corner of the city, and that life is defined by the pursuit of success.
Although Astoria Heights is known for its stunning architecture and vibrant culture, there is one entity that stands out from the rest: Horizon Enterprises.
Founded five years ago by visionary developer Damien Westfield in Astoria Heights, Horizon Enterprises is a successful and ambitious game designer company in the world. This company, although starting out as a PC and mobile game developer, now mainly focuses on the VR platform.

Quicksilver Quarter, Horizon Tower.
Damien Westfield, the CEO of Horizon Enterprises, leaned back in his sleek, leather-clad chair, his steely gaze fixed on the view of the cityscape beyond the towering glass windows of his office.
His secretary, Alexander Johnson, stood by his desk, a tablet in hand, ready to take notes. "Sir, we've been monitoring the activities of Leo and his team closely," he said, his voice calm and professional.
Damien arched an eyebrow, his interest piqued. "And what have you found?"
Alexander hesitated for a moment before speaking, choosing his words carefully. "They've certainly made a splash with their recent games—Temple Run, Minecraft, Candy Crush—but they're still relatively small fry compared to us. They're not a direct threat to us... yet."
Damien nodded thoughtfully, tapping his fingers against the armrest of his chair. "Continue monitoring them," he instructed. "And what about their plans for virtual reality games?"
Alexander Johnson consulted his notes before responding. "They're working on developing two more games—Among Us and Roblox—before they can delve into VR platform development. It seems they're making progress, but it'll still be some time before they pose any real challenge to us in the VR market."
A predatory gleam flickered in Damien's eyes as he contemplated the potential threat posed by Leo and his team. "Let them play in their sandbox for now," he said with a sly smile. "But once they enter the realm of virtual reality, that's when we'll strike. Keep me updated on their every move, Alex. I want to know the moment they become a threat."
Alexander nodded.
