The monitor casts an icy blue glow across Zhan Xuan's face as he watches the new applicant's message flash across his screen. Reyzzz - the popular streamer finally mustered enough courage to request entry into Iron Fang. A low, dangerous chuckle escapes him as he types a single word: 'Approved'.

Within minutes, the notification pops up - Reyzzz has entered the clan base. Xuan's fingers move with deliberate slowness across the keyboard, his wolf avatar materializing directly behind the newcomer's character. He doesn't bother with greetings.

"You think you belong here, pretty boy?" His voice cuts through the voice chat, low and gravelly with undisguised hunger. Before Reyzzz can respond, Xuan's wolf character pins him against the clan's sacred oak tree, virtual claws digging into the streamer's avatar shoulders. The move is unnecessary in the game mechanics - purely dominant, purely territorial.

"I don't care about your followers or your views," he continues, leaning in so their avatars' faces are centimeters apart, "In my clan, you obey me. Completely." His thumb brushes across the screen as if caressing the monitor itself. "Prove you're worth keeping around... or I'll make you regret ever logging on."
