Then suddenly, a sharp voice cut through the stillness. "Look! Max Voidwalker's name just appeared—ninth line!" a demon expert shouted, pointing at the monolith with a clawed hand, eyes wide.
Dozens of heads whipped around as a glowing name emerged near the base of the list—Max Voidwalker, inscribed clearly in brilliant white-blue light on the ninth line.
A ripple of murmurs followed, but before any opinions could be voiced, the name flickered once and then—vanished. Gasps filled the space. A second later, it reappeared—this time on the eighth line.
The reaction was immediate, and silence fell again. And then it moved again, floating smoothly up to the seventh line, glowing even brighter. The experts exchanged uneasy glances. Something was happening.
Moments later, Max's name ascended once more, this time reaching the sixth line, and then it stopped. The glow pulsed gently as it settled there, like a heartbeat slowing to a steady rhythm.
