The Customer Service Department of Zero Hour Company.
When Xiao Wang received a message from Yun Li and his team, he glanced at the video clip attached.
Then, he tossed their feedback and the video into a folder labeled "HIM Feedback."
The Customer Service Department typically submitted player feedback to higher-ups and the technical department once a week.
Four days had passed since the last submission, meaning there were three days left until the next one.
At this moment, the "HIM Feedback" folder had already exceeded 5GB.
Granted, the folder contained videos and images, but those only took up around 2.5GB.
The rest? Purely text feedback.
In other words, player text submissions alone accounted for 2.5GB.
Faced with this enormous volume of data, Xiao Wang couldn't help but feel stunned.
"Strange… Why are so many people talking about HIM?"
"What on earth is this HIM supposed to be…?"

Xiao Wang wasn't a player of the game. Working in customer service kept him busy, after all.
Even though he worked for a gaming company, Xiao Wang had little interest in games.
Thus, he had no familiarity with Minecraft.
Still, he needed to perform his duties.
In fact, feedback about HIM had surfaced over a week ago.
Back then, though, the reports were sparse, with players mentioning some mysterious, powerful, white-eyed creature.
Some even claimed the creature had sentience.
Xiao Wang had dutifully compiled and submitted these reports to the higher-ups and the technical team at the time.
But they didn't take it seriously.
After all, the company wasn't banking on this one game for revenue.
Plus, the technical team confirmed no bugs existed.
So, the matter ended there.
Xiao Wang had assumed the white-eyed monster issue would gradually disappear.
He hadn't anticipated the feedback to explode in frequency afterward.
The white-eyed monster soon earned a name—HIM.
Every player who reported it was filled with righteous fury, yet Xiao Wang had no explanation to offer.
The thing was, this wasn't within his purview to handle.
To draw attention from the higher-ups—and, admittedly, to be berated a little less in the future—Xiao Wang created a dedicated folder for HIM.
He began compiling all player feedback about HIM there.
With enough reports, surely the matter would gain some attention.
"At this rate, the folder will probably hit 10GB in three days…"
Unbeknownst to him, even this estimate was far too conservative.

News of the Cloud Soar Guild's dissolution spread like wildfire across the entire server.
Their disbandment confirmed the title of Ah Long's livestream: "HIM Fakes Death, Cloud Soar Guild Wiped Out."
Most players already felt a chill down their spines after witnessing the broadcast.
While the stream didn't show any bodies, the equipment scattered across the ground and the devastated guild base spoke volumes about the massacre's intensity.
The scene revealed a one-sided slaughter.
It seemed Cloud Soar Guild's members couldn't even put up a fight.
Players had always known HIM's strength was formidable.
But after this incident, their fear of HIM transcended into something deeply psychological.
HIM had only fought against players twice in any meaningful sense.
Once with the Triumph Guild, and now with Cloud Soar.
Both battles had ended in the same way.
The Triumph Guild was disbanded on the spot, and so too was Cloud Soar.
Players had even heard the guild leaders of Cloud Soar—Guild Leader Yun Fengand Vice Leader Yun Li—quit the game entirely.
The Triumph Guild was one thing. It was a ragtag community of independent players.
Its leader, Xiao Po, was a mere pawn with neither strategy nor intelligence—a piece in HIM's game.
The Triumph Guild's fall was inevitable.
But Cloud Soar was different. Cloud Soar ranked among the top ten guilds.
Most players knew Yun Li's reputation: brave, shrewd, and thoughtful. He was the guild's strategist.
Yet even he, after one encounter with HIM, had chosen to dissolve the guild and leave the game.
Imagine someone who built a guild from scratch, achieving fame and respect, suddenly quitting after one fight.
How desperate must he have felt to make that decision?
What did HIM do to push him so far?
Players shivered at the thought.
No one knew exactly what transpired between Cloud Soar and HIM.
But everyone understood one thing—Yun Li must have been utterly broken.
"This is insane… Made him quit the game…"
"Yun Li, of all people… He was Cloud Soar's genius mind!"
"Now he's done for~ A zombie ate your brain!"
"Honestly, I'm curious about what happened, but I'm scared. Everything related to HIM is pure nightmare fuel."
"Rumor has it, HIM didn't bring any allies this time… He soloed Cloud Soar's 20,000 members…"
"What kind of power does he have now?! Can any Cloud Soar members step up and explain? We promise not to laugh!"
"Half an hour ago, I was in Cloud Soar. HIM's power… Honestly, I couldn't see much. From his arrival to the massacre's end, it was probably a minute…"
"?????????? A minute????"
"Is HIM that fast (not in that way)…?"
"I don't get it, but I'm impressed!!!!"
---
While players feverishly discussed the event, ex-members of Cloud Soar stepped forward to share what they knew.
Although they couldn't describe exactly what had happened, they recounted the slaughter's details.
Unlike the battle with Triumph, this time, there was no strategy.
HIM simply found their base.
Without a word, he unleashed an onslaught and left.
The entire battle lasted under a minute.
Most players barely glimpsed HIM before they and their allies perished.
So, there wasn't much to tell.
Yet this vagueness only made those who craved battle details even more horrified.
There were no details—only a one-sided massacre.
"What kind of monster has he become?!"
"Wasn't the strategy to avoid HIM to stunt his growth…?"
"How can we stunt anything when he can wipe out 20,000 in a minute?"
"My DPS is in the millions per minute… Guess I'm stronger than HIM! (Sarcasm)"
"Look at you, so fast."
At this point, players had become numb to HIM's power.
Before, it seemed like he was just a bit too strong.
After Cloud Soar's fall, however, their perception was once again shattered.
In this game, no one would dare challenge HIM's dominance anymore.
To fight HIM was to court death.

Eternal Guild Base.
"What?! Say that again!!!"
Tian Heng stared at the guild's senior members in disbelief.
The executives shifted uncomfortably.
"HIM's alive…"
"Cloud Soar Guild has disbanded… Yun Li and Yun Feng have quit…"
"He supposedly took down Yun Teng in just one minute…"
"Boss… we've captured one of his allies. What if he comes for us?!"
"Boss!! Boss!! Say something!!!"
Tian Heng collapsed into a chair, pale-faced.
This news struck him like a thunderbolt.
After regaining some composure, he opened a chat with Yonghui.
"Boss… HIM's still alive…"
"What do we do now??"
"Boss!! Boss!! Say something!!"
