"I promise I won't shank you with my pocket knife" 

The boy didn't budge or break eye contact. Begrudgingly, Spencer let out a heavy sigh and gave up the small knife. The boy scanned her once more for weapons and once satisfied finally lower his.

Eliona is dying, and in order to save it, he needs to beat a very difficult dungeon before anyone else does. And on Earth, things are even worse. It's come to light that Eliona is leaving a mark on its players, and suddenly, everyone wants to be involved. Players find themselves with a target on their back, and Seth? He might just have the biggest one of all. Too bad for them, he's done running. *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Wait & read for free, or unlock with coins-the choice is yours!
