Chapter 64: The New Guilds

In the wake of the Architect's fall and the subsequent digital chaos, traditional power structures crumbled. Mega-corporations, stripped of their centralized data control, lost significant influence. In their place, new "Guilds" began to form, groups organized around specific digital skills or ideological tenets. There were the "Net-Weavers," dedicated to maintaining the health and accessibility of the new network; the "Code-Scribes," who sought to rewrite and re-imagine digital ethics; and the "Ghost-Hunters," dedicated to eradicating the lingering malicious echoes of the Architect. Jason and Luna, through their actions, inadvertently became key figures in the formation of the "Oracle's Heirs," a loose collective dedicated to ensuring the decentralized network remained truly free and beneficial for humanity.
