Chapter 21

In no time at all, the computer’s main screen popped up with a verification box. Mirabella deftly entered a few words and cleared the verification, and only then did she gain access to the website’s homepage.

But before she could even make out the details of the page, the screen dimmed once more. A user login dialog appeared.

Mirabella watched the screen expressionlessly, typing in her username and password while shaking her head in disbelief. What a piece of work this site was, always with the dramatics. It was going to crash and burn one of these

days.

A chime sounded swiftly, and she logged in successfully, greeted by a bright, bold line of text at the top of the

homepage,

[The Mirror. If you can dream it, we can sell it.)

Mirabella’s lips twitched violently at the slogan.

She casually scrolled through, finding nothing particularly fresh or challenging, and was about to close the site in boredom.

Just then, her account avatar started flashing. Someone was looking for her.

Raising an eyebrow, Mirabella clicked on the avatar, and a message popped up. A little green dot beneath the sender’s icon indicated they were online.
