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 Fourteen

As Charlotte waited patiently for Neve to explain her findings, the entirety of the healer's journey played back in her mind. 

Not just the battles, the times when death nearly got to embrace her, but the moments of rest as well. The evenings she spent planning her next move. All of those days flashed before her eyes as she said: 

"If I'm reading this graph right, every spike in activity happened when I made it to a new floor," Neve stated. "Specifically, uh, the last part really makes it clear. It's been two weeks since I made it to the 9th Floor, and all of a sudden things got worse than ever. But, yeah, I'm trying to recall my progress and it feels like that's the connection." 

"In that case," Charlotte quickly replied, "why haven't we figured this out until now? There have been 9 attempts at the Final Challenge. Surely, the pattern of all hell breaking loose because of what's going on in there would have become obvious, right?"
