ch 9

10… 9… 8…

I check my stats one last time.

• HP: 28/28

• MP: 25/30

My MP has regenerated 10 points since healing Mischief. That means mana recharges naturally.

Good to know.

3… 2… 1…

I exhale. Here we go.

ch 8

One Hour Later.

34 Chaos Spawn down.

My loot piles? Huge.

• Pile One: Teeth, eyes, meat. Disgusting, but expected.

• Pile Two: 14 more Chaos Fragments.

• Pile Three: Weird random crap.

I scan the last pile: Crude Serpent Dagger, ...

BOOOONNGGG.

A deep, ringing gong shook the clearing.

Wave 1 Complete.

I collapse onto my knees. Holy shit. I actually survived.

Chapter 6

The whole process took maybe 15 seconds. When I looked back up, the field was moving.

Something—or a lot of somethings—were coming through the grass.

I couldn’t see them. They were too short.

First thought? Snakes.

I hate snakes, please don’t be snakes.

But n...

Chapter 5 - Overpowered titles

I couldn’t stop staring at my titles.

Forerunner was straight-up broken—a permanent 5% XP boost? In any game I’ve ever played, you had to pay for that.

But Man or a Mouse? That one gave me mixed feelings.

I was the only person out of billions to skip the tutorial? How?! Th...

Chapter 4 - Pulling up the system

Speaking of things I don’t know—Didn’t I just get a healer class?

I wasn’t excited about it, but I was definitely curious. The problem? I had no idea how to check.

I frowned, then did the first thing that popped into my head—

I reached out, clapped my hands together, a...

Chapter 3 - Voice from the abyss

"What the hell is going on?"

"Hello, Layton."

Huh?

A mechanical female voice echoed from the darkness.

"Uhhhh, hello creepy void voice. Am I dead?" I asked, trying to sound calm. (I was not calm.)

If I had to guess, I probably suffered a spontaneous brain an...

Chapter 2 - the drive

Although I’d been camping plenty of times before, a minor—okay, major—problem hit me the second I merged onto the highway:

I had no idea where I was going.

I knew I wanted trees, water, fresh air, and zero people. That was it.

McCall, Idaho came to mind. I’d bee...

chapter 1 - just another day

Class was over. Another mind-numbing lecture on things I’d already forgotten.

I needed out. Badly. The problem? Finding someone to come with me.

Instagram was full of people who loved the outdoors. Unfortunately, none of them were my friends.

Instead, I had friends who could s...
