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!

Reach for the Stars, Part Eight

Neve stood there, for a little bit. 

The horde of monsters that had placed her in this position had not left. 

[... Turning back's not something I can do,] Neve understood with a sigh. [Fine.] 

The first thing she did was jump up a few times. Once with barely any strength, a second time putting more effort into it, and then a third with all of her strength, just so she could get a feel for her own hops. 

To her left, she saw the chest. Up above, far away, was the exit. 

[Okay, I may as well go for it, since I'm closer to that thing than I am to the exit. Should be fine...] She leaned forward, trying to get a sense of the path to the chest. It was so dark that she could only just barely make out the positions of each of the blocks leading up to it. Darker by far than the path leading to the exit was. [I guess that's part of the challenge.] 

Neve readied herself, her breathing slowing steadily.
