His heart didn't just sink; it imploded. He’d been so careful. He’d installed the modified client last week, a whispered link from a Discord server called “The Voidsight.” It was supposed to be “undetectable” on 1.20.1, a clever exploit of the new lighting engine.

He’d built a castle of ore blocks just to feel something.
