The Conclusion       

"Feel free to voice your opinions," Invayne sneered, a hint of derision in his tone. "But the reality remains crystal clear. If we don't put a halt to Ren's ascension now, he will single-handedly dominate this game. We've all seen his power.

"No solo player, regardless of their skill, could pull off such feats. Even the oldest names among the top players acknowledge it. What chance do we have?"

Sylvia's frustration tinged her voice as she spoke up. "But he hasn't done anything to warrant this treatment. He's not even competing for ranks. He's not on any leaderboards. Are we truly resorting to a collective attack simply because his name happens to be Ren?"

Isolde remained uncharacteristically silent. Deep inside, she knew the truth — that Ren was indeed the cloaked player — but she struggled to muster the words. The fear of revealing this knowledge inadvertently kept her lips sealed.
