Harper was making an ambitiously expansive game, a new type of game with more options than the basic hack-and-slash, where exploration and cleverness were a legitimate course of action, not an extra-hard mode. But he died before he could complete his project. Only to be reborn in that world, as a normal person. Now he is in the world that he created and realizes that he knows things no one else knows, secrets only he knows. Harper sets off to find some of these secrets, wanting to make sure that he has the power to ensure that his world remains pure, that no one will have the power to ruin it like other games. And if the only way to do that is for him to get himself enough magic and mystical artifacts that he can determine the future of the world, then so be it. It wouldn’t be conquest if it was for a good cause. Right?

Petra has tied her back together out of the extra large bedroll she has, with straps made of extra rope. I am willing to share my tent with you, but not the bedroll, she says.


I shrug at that. The tent will be nice. I was wondering if we could cut the bedroll in half. Would that make it two regular-sized rolls?


She thinks about that for a second. It would. But the cloth would fray and unravel.
