Alpha's Regret: The Seventh Time was Forever

Chapter 94

Chapter 94 - Dangerous, but I love it

Seraphine ignored the look in Ravyn’s eyes completely and focused on her presentation. "It’s a game designed not to distract people from their responsibilities, but to train their discipline."

A ripple of curiosity moved through the crowd.

Many of the people who had come to the gathering earlier with nothing but pleasure on their minds now leaned forward with genuine interest, because none of them had expected Seraphine to make it this far in the event.

The moment she proved she belonged there, however, the room’s attitude toward her had changed completely.

Respect had replaced skepticism.

"It sharpens the intellect while calming the mind," Seraphine explained as she moved her hand through the holographic interface to give them a feel of how the game is played.

"It offers a quiet space for people whose lives run at exhausting speeds, a place where the brain can breathe for a moment before jumping back into work."

The projection changed at her command, displaying a soft landscape filled with peaceful colors.

Puzzles unfolded across the screen in elegant patterns that looked almost like paper folding into intricate shapes, while gentle ambient music drifted through the room.

"But unlike most digital entertainment designed to trap people in endless cycles of dopamine," she added, "MindNest refuses to allow that kind of abuse."

A few people in the audience chuckled quietly.

Gray leaned back in his seat with one eyebrow raised in curiosity while watching the demonstration.

For a moment he wondered whether all Lunas carried hidden brilliance like this, or whether Seraphine was simply someone born with an entirely different kind of mind.

"If the user ignores the reminder," Seraphine continued with calm amusement, "the system waits another fifteen minutes before trying again."
