IT'S THE END OF AUGUST AND FIRST DAY IN X-OVERS! WOOHOO. WINTER IS OVER BOI! However onto more pressing matters.

I was lost on what I should put on this chapter and I just thought to myself. You guys need to know a little of my characters' lives IRL. So this chapter came out.

Guys, I'm going to have to warn you. The months have been passing a bit too quickly. So this story will span over years. Maybe. My warning is what I like to call THE INFAMOUS NOVEMBER HIATUS. As a South African, my fanfiction will be on NOVEMBER HIATUS since I'll be writing my final year exams therefore causing the NOVEMBER HIATUS.

Good news: I got 2 new followers so because of this I'd like to thank all 7 of my followers: KirisunaSAO; 2-2Distracted; Pikanet128; Seance71; shinydragonmist; ILuvCupcakes2000 and the new 2 - buffmas25 and 45silverwolfdedemon. I also thank SphetheBest - the loyal reviewer.

ILuvCupcakes2000: Thanks for your opinion and support. You bring joy to my heart since the new readers don't know what a review button is.

SphetheBest: Thanks for your support. Wish you would stop mimicking my farewells though. Don't know what mimic means: find a dictionary. If you want to know what deadeye looks like, go to wattpad, search my story and go to Chapter 11. You'll find a picture.

Enough talk- now read.

*pant* *pant*.

He was losing his breath.

Darkness started to blanket his vision.

A small venom-filled hiss came from the creature in front of him.

There was an intense pain in his abdomen.

His sword fell from his hand. Metal clanging on the ground beneath him.

HP: 0

*pant* *pant*

He took his final breath and shattered into crystal.

Lumino woke up breathing like his life depended on it. Ever since coming to floor 10, his dreams were plagued with nightmares. Some were a past he sought to forget. Some were a future he sought to prevent.

He knew why these nightmares tortured him though. IT was a reminder. A reminder of this fantasy turning into reality. A reminder of how short on time he was and how little he could do. A reminder of how weak he was.

He knew the struggles of this game and knew he wasn't strong enough to face them. He took a look at his level. [Level: 34].

It wasn't enough.

It was never enough.

The swordsman stood up from his bed, equipped his battle gear and went into the fields. He needed to clear his head.

The sound of a dying Arachne was heard as Lumino stabbed it through the mouth just to shut it up.

[Exp: 174/Gil: 100]

Lumino sighed putting his sword away. He checked the time.
