When the Unity Trials first began and Neve was granted a system along with the rest of humanity, she sincerely hoped she would be among the first to die.

Death eluded her, though, so, until her time came, she reluctantly settled into the role of a healer. One day, she and a group of players ventured into the realm of the Final Challenge, a strange, otherworldly dungeon that would give humanity a ten-year resting period if they completed it. But, although death eluded her, it found all of her allies. 

Now, with no one to rely on and a burning desire for revenge, Neve must become stronger if she hopes to avenge them. 

How exactly can she do so, however, when she is only a healer?

A survival GL adventure story!

The Lone Healer

[Well... I guess I should get going. Like Tamira said, this is gonna take time. The sooner I get this over with, the... Huh?]

As she sat there, she heard someone call out to her.

Looking up, she found two strange humanoids jogging over to her, running along the sand in a hurry.

Her immediate instinct was to assume that they were enemies and she nearly pulled out her staff, but upon getting a closer look, she found that these creatures weren't carrying any weapons. More importantly, as had been the case with Erin before, she couldn't see levels over their heads.

Both these elements made her hesitate.

[That might be the System's way of telling me "don't kill these people". Okay, okay, got it.]

[You can do so anyway if you'd like~] Tamira whispered to Neve, through her thoughts. [Though they might not be "players", their deaths will still award you EXP. Tempting, isn't it?]

Neve just rolled her eyes as the two of them approached.
