He was in the main corral. He was bouncing. He was round. He was pink. He was one of five identical, conjoined slimes, all of them wearing the same terrified, human expression. The real Jax was nowhere. There was only the ranch, the impossible, frozen value, and a new, silent user at the keyboard.
“Just a glitch,” he muttered, his voice hollow.
Value 0x1A3F5B80 overwritten. New pointer: Jax.exe / VALUETYPE: SOUL / FREEZE: TRUE
A cold, green number, 1 , appeared in the corner of his real, physical vision. It hovered there, immovable.
