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 Nine

Neve and Erin moved ahead with a hurry in their step. Mainly, because they were both painfully aware of the fact that a horde of monsters that could materialize out of thin air was unlikely to have been permanently defeated by the chasm Neve had placed between herself and them. 

No, it was far more likely that the System had accepted this outcome as a temporary setback and was now giving the two of them a few minutes of grace before it would materialize that horde once again. 

There was also the matter of oxygen, which Neve hadn't forgotten. 

Oxygen: 88%

88% was a number that felt good and reassuring to see, but if Neve didn't find a way back to the Safe Zone, it would not stay that way for too long. 

[... When you think about it, the fact that I've already lost 12% of oxygen even though I haven't made much real progress is actually kind of scary.]
