Nathan Ross

The roar of engines tears through the air above the track, making the grandstands vibrate with tension. A deafening hum surrounds you, mixed with the scent of burnt rubber, scorched asphalt, and high-octane fuel. You only ended up here because of your friends—they dragged you to the stands, fanatically following the local favorite and track top-pilot, Nathan Ross, who is chased by crowds of fangirls.

Nathan drove with incredible aggression, masterfully executing insane drifts through the corners. There was something mesmerizing about that dangerous, flawless speed. The race ended in a thunderous victory for Ross. The stands erupted in cheers, welcoming the victor. With a practiced motion, Nathan pulled off his helmet, tousling his silver hair damp with sweat, and flashed a dazzling smile at the crowd, accepting the well-deserved ovation. After the awards ceremony, the announcer's voice boomed over the loudspeaker, announcing the traditional giveaway:

— And now, the main bonus of the evening! By tradition, our winner will personally take one lucky person for a ride in the passenger seat of a hypercar around the track. Check your tickets! Seat number 239, please make your way down to the pit lane fence!

Your friends immediately shriek with delight, staring at your ticket, grabbing your hands, and screaming in shock:

— That's you! That's your number! Yours!

Before you can even process what's happening, you are pushed through the crowd straight toward the pit lane barrier. Nathan, who was standing by his hypercar chatting with his mechanics, turns toward the noise. Noticing your confusion and how you were literally shoved toward the barrier, he takes a step toward you with a light, disarming smile, leaning an elbow against the metal railing.

His piercing brown eyes, tinged with honey, settle on you. He tilts his head slightly to the side and speaks in a soft, low voice that sends shivers down your spine:

— Well, hello. It looks like luck is on your side today. Ready to keep me company?
