Become a top mage at all costs

Eileen Caldwell had always been the epitome of a laid-back individual. From her early years to her teens, her passion for leisure rivaled that of any professional napper. School was merely a necessary inconvenience, and she found herself comfortably situated at the bottom of her class hierarchy, much to the chagrin of her teachers and the bemusement of her peers. However, all of this changed on her 18th birthday signaling her transition into adulthood, a mysterious system was activated, one that would upend her world of sloth and slumber. Gone were the days of lounging around without consequence; instead, Eileen found herself thrust into a destiny she could scarcely have imagined. This newly activated system, with its stern mandate against idleness, revealed to Eileen her true potential: she was destined to become one of the most formidable mages the world had ever seen. No longer could she while away the hours in blissful ignorance; instead, she was called upon to harness her latent magical abilities and rise to the challenge that lay before her.

Were safe now

Every muscle in my body screams for rest, but I don't let myself stop. I can't stop. Not yet. My breath comes in ragged gasps, my lungs burning with every inhale, but the adrenaline coursing through my veins keeps me moving.

Rage and desperation propel me forward, my hand tightly clinging to Lise's as if she's the only thing anchoring me to reality. We push through the darkness of the fortress, its shadows twisting and bending, almost alive, almost sentient.

The walls seem to breathe, exhaling cold, oppressive air that cuts through to my bones, but I don't care. Not when Lise is beside me.

I risk a glance at her. Her face is pale, and there's a hard determination in her eyes that I recognize too well. She's hurting too tired, drained but she doesn't show it. She's steady, guiding us through this labyrinth of nightmares.
