A notification pinged from the installer—not a Windows sound, but something that came through his headphones despite them being unplugged. "They are unpacking." Leo froze. That wasn't part of any repack he'd ever seen. He reached for the power button, but his cursor had vanished. The keyboard was unresponsive. The installer was now at 100%, but instead of launching a setup wizard, the text changed: MULTi10: Message decoded. Language 1: English — "They are coming." Language 2: Spanish — "Ellos vienen." Language 3: German — "Sie kommen." Language 4: French — "Ils arrivent." Language 5: Japanese — "彼らが来る。" Language 6: Chinese — "他们来了。" Language 7: Russian — "Они идут." Language 8: Arabic — "إنهم قادمون." Language 9: Portuguese — "Eles estão vindo." Language 10: [REDACTED] His bedroom light flickered. Then the hallway light. Then every screen in the room—his phone, his tablet, even his smartwatch—displayed the same message in his selected language:

His laptop fan roared. The screen flickered. For a split second, the installer's progress bar rearranged itself into symbols he didn't recognize—cuneiform, maybe, or something older. Then it corrected. They Are Coming- -MULTi10- -FitGirl Repack- Rep...
From the hallway, his roommate shouted: "What the hell is that noise?!"
They Are Coming (MULTi10 / FitGirl Repack)
27%... 45%...

Then silence.
Leo stared at his laptop screen, the green progress bar swallowed by darkness. The file name glowed in his BitTorrent client: A notification pinged from the installer—not a Windows
89%... 97%...
His speakers crackled. A voice—no, ten voices layered on top of each other, each speaking a different language at the exact same volume—whispered:
"We have been repacked. Now we extract." He reached for the power button, but his cursor had vanished
The laptop webcam LED lit up. He hadn't enabled it. Through the tiny lens, he saw something move in the reflection of his room's mirror—something that wasn't there a second ago. Tall. Thin. Incorrect number of joints in its fingers.
