(Meanwhile on the global forums)
As Cervantez pondered how ‘TheBoss’ had ascended to the realm of a master so quickly in the game, the Global Forums buzzed with an entirely different conversation.
Although Leo’s global announcement of reaching the realm of a master initially sparked excitement and discussions about his remarkable achievement, the conversation soon took a sharp turn in an unexpected direction.
“Congratulations…. to ‘TheBoss’ for making two global announcements within three days! Everyone at the Hearthshire Guild applauds him!”
“WHOA! Does this confirm Boss’s status as the undisputed GOAT of the game?”
“As a member of the Church Of Boss…. Today will be celebrated as a holy day in our religion!”
“How does one guy keep doing this? Why does lady luck never smile on me like it does on him? Why am I stuck as a bottom feeder?”
“I miss Earth so much…. If I were back on Earth, I’d find this Boss guy and marry him, that way I could at least end up with half of his assets when I divorce him later!” Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
“Relax bitch! Ain’t no way ‘TheBoss’ is going to date anyone that weighs 250 pounds”.
The initial conversations held in the immediate aftermath of the global announcement were the usual.
Some people were in awe, most were jealous and there was some friendly banter going on between people who knew each other on a personal level.
However, the real storm only started to brew two hours after The Boss’s global announcement, when an expose article written by a player named ‘Critical Thinker’ went viral.
The article was titled : ‘The Boss and Leo Skyshard are the same player!’
And it detailed all the research that the man had carried out over the past year.

(Excerpt from Global Forums Exposé – Written by ‘Critical Thinker’)
The Boss and Leo Skyshard: One and the Same?
It’s no secret that ‘TheBoss’ and Leo Skyshard are two of the most prominent players in the game. However, after months of careful research and analysis, I’m here to present compelling evidence that they are, in fact, the same player.
Let’s start at the beginning. Leo Skyshard first came to prominence around the time of the second evaluation, where players were ranked based on their achievements and progress within the game. Up until that point, ‘TheBoss’ had been an untouchable force, maintaining a comfortable lead at the top. But then, out of nowhere, Leo Skyshard began to rise—rapidly.
Initially, Skyshard was an unknown player, nowhere to be seen on the top 10,000 leaderboards, but within a matter of days, he skyrocketed to second place, consistently trailing behind ‘TheBoss’ by exactly 10 levels.
No matter how many levels ‘TheBoss’ gained, Leo Skyshard always seemed to stay 10 levels behind—no more, no less. A curious pattern, but one that could be chalked up to coincidence. At least, that’s what I thought at the time.
However, after months of observation, it became clear that something much more deliberate was at play. Every time ‘TheBoss’ gained levels, Leo Skyshard would follow shortly after, keeping that same exact deficit of 10 levels. The correlation was too precise to ignore.
Let’s consider some specific dates. On April 12th, ‘TheBoss’ achieved a substantial level-up following his victory against the demon count, gaining 22 levels in one day. Exactly two hours later, Leo Skyshard gained those same 22 levels.
Then, on July 5th, ‘TheBoss’ gained 5 levels after a couple quiet months of no gains and once again, within hours, Leo Skyshard had gained exactly 5 levels, maintaining the consistent gap.
How could this happen, time and time again? The argument that Leo Skyshard was simply keeping pace with ‘TheBoss’ falls apart under scrutiny. No other player in the game has been able to replicate such precise, near-simultaneous gains over such a long period of time. More importantly, it’s not just the level gains—it’s the timing of their achievements. The level-ups between the two players always occur within a tight window of just a few hours.
The most damning evidence, however, came five days ago. In an unprecedented move, ‘TheBoss’ suddenly gained 25 levels in a single day.
Naturally, the entire player base was stunned. But within two hours, Leo Skyshard followed suit, gaining 25 levels of his own. The timing was no longer a coincidence.
This was the moment I first raised my suspicions publicly, and the feedback was overwhelming. That article was shared over 100,000 times across the Global Forums, with countless players starting to take notice of the impossible pattern unfolding before us.
Now, the final piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. Just today, both ‘TheBoss’ and Leo Skyshard gained 50 levels—yes, 50—within hours of each other. This kind of progression is unheard of for a single player, let alone two separate players supposedly competing independently. To suggest that two top-ranked players, with no known connection, could consistently gain identical amounts of levels at nearly the same time is not just improbable—it’s impossible.
The truth is staring us in the face: Leo Skyshard and ‘TheBoss’ are the same player.
No other explanation fits. Either we are dealing with the same individual using two separate accounts to manipulate the rankings, or there is a deeper, undisclosed connection between the two that we are not yet aware of. But given the consistency of the level gains, the simplest explanation is that one person is controlling both accounts.
This revelation changes everything. If ‘TheBoss’ and Leo Skyshard are indeed the same player, then the integrity of the leaderboard is in serious question. How long has this deception been going on? And how many other players might be using similar tactics to maintain their positions?
The gaming community deserves transparency. Until we receive an official response from the game’s developers or the players themselves, I urge everyone to keep sharing this article and discussing these revelations. Together, we can push for answers and ensure that fair play is upheld in the game we all love.
