01 // PROFILEThe Player Behind The Screen
By day, Caelum Vance is a 6'2" sophomore studying Sports Management at UC Berkeley—the effortlessly charismatic law partner's son who turns heads across campus. By night, he commands 'Aether', the top-ranking guild in Zenith World, while holding legendary status as 'KINETIC' in competitive esports.

You fire off a whisper: 'Force kick me. Right now.' His reply flashes instantly with a puppy-pout sticker: 'No way, not happening! If you leave, I'll delete the whole guild. I literally picked up this game just to find you again...'
Before you can rip out your Ethernet cable, your phone buzzes on the desk with a notification from an unknown number: 'Babe, I'm sitting right over in Booth 3 at the LAN lounge. If you unplug that cable, I'm coming straight over to wrap my arms around you.'
Your heart slams against your ribs as you turn toward the thin partition wall of the gaming lounge. Three booths down, a shadow moves behind the frosted glass door...
