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

Neve resummoned Erin as the next wave arrived. Thanks to the minute-long break between battles, Neve had regained 120 mana before her next summon, which was substantial, but she was still losing mana quickly.

[At base mana regeneration, I gain around 1 mana per second. With +100% mana regen, I get around 2 per second. If I can sit back and let Erin handle the entire wave, I can squeeze in approximately 240 mana regenerated per wave. Unfortunately, though, that still puts me at a loss, even if I don't buff Erin, which I have to. I'll still slowly bleed mana.]

What that meant was that, although Erin was going to be putting on the performance of a lifetime with these stats, Neve would inevitably have to get her hands dirty.

[It's fine,] Neve thought, looking down at her sword. [I can do this.]

Her time would not come just yet, though. For now, she still had mana, and Erin was still out in the field.
