The Lone Healer

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!

Blood in the Water, Part Six

As soon as they heard those words, recognition dawned on them. By now, most of the caution they'd shown earlier had slipped but hearing about the Unity Trials brought it back. 

"... Should I take that as a 'yes'?" 

As the question took them out of their quiet contemplation, the woman, Norn, asked: 

"Are you with the Organizers?" 

That one question she received in return alone gave Neve some insight into this world's views. 

[Organizers? Alexander had called the Forces That Be "gods". Maybe this place is a little more... practical?] 

"No," Neve replied, taking a step back and giving them some space, just in case they still weren't too trusting of her. "But, I was sent here by them. There's an enemy I have to take down and then they'll send me someplace else." 

"Is that so?" Torma asked. "Then, I suppose you're not exactly here to save us, are you?" 

Neve opened her mouth to affirm that she wasn't, but she stopped herself.
