Golden light erupted around me in a blinding cascade. One notification after another flooded my vision so rapidly that the semi-transparent windows began overlapping in a messy, unreadable pile across my HUD. Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! "...Seriously?" I muttered, covering my eyes. The endless stream of reward alerts multiplied until they completely blocked my view of the guild hall. I couldn't even finish reading the first system prompt before ten more stacked on top of it. "...System," I sighed, waving my hand. "Summarize." For a brief second, every overlapping window froze. Then, with a soft hum, they merged into a single, massive golden interface screen before me. =================================================== [SYSTEM NOTIFICATION: REWARDS CLAIMED] ---------------------------
