In a dungeon clearing a group finds a pile of anomaly crystals that raise stats and may grant skills. Other players demand Lyle hand them over to Marcus for distribution, accusing Marcus of using them as bait. Pressured, Lyle gives the crystals to Marcus to protect his friend. Marcus then uses all the crystals for himself and refuses to share. When a rival confronts him, Marcus strikes back, calling it punishment for scaring his little sister. The victim vows revenge, leaving the group's trust broken and immediate danger unresolved.
