Bab 71: Vol. 1 - Epilogue

{Charlotte}

"After a couple of weeks now of the current 100 players attempting to clear the Final Challenge, tell me, has the Player's Administration gotten any ideas as to what could, potentially, be the reason behind the delay in the outcome?" 

As Charlotte poured some coffee into her mug, the frost of the morning air settling in, she heard an interviewer on the tv ask a high-level government official yet again about one of the hottest topics online recently. 

That being, of course, The Final Challenge, but, more specifically, the fact that this attempt had yet to conclude. 

"Well,"  the voice of the tired, apathetic guy on the tv replied, as Charlotte looked through her phone. "We're certainly hoping that the delay means that this attempt is faring better than the 9 previous attempts, but we have no way of knowing that. Our thoughts and prayers are with the players, though."
