"Meet me at Club Europa tonight. Come alone. I've got a proposition for you, Alex. Your sister's case is just the tip of the iceberg. Are you ready to uncover the truth?"
In the not-too-distant future, the world had become a complex web of interconnected digital networks. The lines between reality and virtual reality had blurred, and the concept of identity had become a luxury only the privileged could afford.
One fateful night, Alex finally cracks the code to Stevexyz's secret server, and a virtual download begins. As the data streams into Alex's computer, he realizes that Stevexyz has left him a message – a challenge, really – that will change everything.
The message reads:
With no choice but to attend the meeting, Alex heads to Club Europa, unsure what lies ahead. Upon arrival, he finds Stevexyz waiting for him in a crowded corner of the club.
