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

And, the barrier keeping the pair from entering the building disappeared as well.

Neve and Erin didn't say anything to each other. There was nothing left to say. There was just a boss to kill.

Neve brought her sword back out and opened the doors.

As soon as she did, the smell of dust and stagnant air hit her nostrils.

Immediately, it became clear what this place was. The coffins stacked on top of each other on the sides, some carved into the stone, gave it away. It was a mausoleum.

[Yeah, the odds of this boss being undead too are looking pretty good.]

Stairs at the back led deeper into the crypt. Erin went ahead while Neve checked the corners, ensuring she hadn't missed any items or hidden enemies.
