Thanatos Awakens (ON HOLD)

After death, there are two choices. 1) Go into Essence, a part of a computer program that has been specifically made for you in your own view of perfection. 2) Fight your way back through the ranks of Thanatos, a part of the program that tests to see if the user is worthy of coming back to life. There's one catch, however. Thanatos's levels are grueling, full of monsters and lies and pain, and they just happen to be perfect for pushing a person's sanity to the limit. And, if that wasnt good enough, no one has ever woken up from the program. Most people that enter loose their minds, and eventually end up in Oblivion, a place where they literally fade into nothing over time. Of course, they only make it to Oblivion if they're not eaten by monsters first.
Clarissa Jacobs never thought that her little brother Caleb would have to live without her. After all, they've only ever had each other, for as long as she can remember, she's been protecting him, looking out for him. But when she falls to her death, Caleb is left alone, and she is forced to make a choice between Essence and Thanatos, between a perfect life and her brother. It's an easy decision. She seals her fate with a single word, and is promptly thrown into the hellish world called Thanatos.
Four years later, Clarissa is still suck in the endless cycle she put upon herself, fighting to pass levels and survive the near constant attacks that plague her day and night. She is lethal, not trusting anyone or anything, and she kills without a thought, even when the monster at the end of her blade is a mirror image of the family she left behind. She does whatever she has to in order to stay alive. And that's a good thing. Until she wakes up.
