Kaelen.

Come find me, it meant.

Vaz had won the last seven tournaments. His real name was unknown. His face, unseen. But his shot — a lightning-fast flick to the right, always to the right — was legendary. Some said he had a 170ms reaction time. Others said he wasn't human.

They both logged off. The server closed. The replay file saved automatically — timestamped, encrypted, destined for the forums.

And that's what made him top Vaz.
