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!

"Quite the interesting device," Erin said, leaning over Neve's shoulder and tapping her computer. "So, that woman disappeared? Can she still see you?" 

"No, not anymore." 

"Ah..." Erin's crimson irises left the machine and landed on Neve. The healer was still not terribly good at reading her emotions, but she could sense there were many things Erin wanted to say, or perhaps ask about, that she wasn't sure how to communicate. "You mentioned you're bad at handling attention. Is that true?" 

"Yeah," Neve nodded, leaning back a little. 

"Well, I take it this has been a consistent problem over the course of your life given that you carry such a face." 

Neve's lips remained parted but no words emerged. The lamia gave her a proud and victorious smile. Neve could almost see her repressing the desire to pat herself on the back for that one. 

Neve looked away quickly. Unable to handle the pressure those eyes were applying on her.
