FIFTY-EIGHT SECONDS. The basement floor didn't just vibrate; it shrieked. A high-frequency howl tore through the limestone, rattling my molars and making the glass of the monitor screens ripple like water. I lunged for the terminal, my boots skidding on a layer of frost that shouldn't have been there. In the gaps of the foundation above, the sky of Rebirth City had finished its rot, turning from a synthetic blue to a flat, light-eating black.

I had felt genuinely sorry for how pale he looked, so I went hungry myself just so I could save on living expenses and send the extra to him. I worked five odd jobs outside of classes and fainted several times just from exhaustion caused by low blood sugar alone. The most dangerous of those occasions had been when I was almost crushed under a bus' wheels because I had passed out. In the end, all of my hard-earned money had been used on another woman's recovery. I could no longer taste the food I was eating. Before I knew it, all I could taste on my tongue was bitterness. It felt similar to when I had been on the verge of death in my previous life.

The screws were fake—magnetized—and the panel popped open when I pressed the right edge. I slipped inside. The air in the shaft was hot and stale. Metal grates stretched ahead of me like a tunnel to the past. I crawled forward, counting each junction. Five turns. Down two. The bottom floor. Sub-Level X. The vents here smelled wrong. Not just unwashed bodies or old tech. They smelled like death. Synthetic. Flat. Bloodless. I reached the final grate and peered through. The room beyond was massive—circular, sterile, and flooded with white light. Machines lined the walls, humming with artificial life. Tanks filled with clear fluid stood like sarcophagi. And inside those tanks…

When she woke again, she was lying on a hospital bed. The damning images from the black box surged back into her mind. She yanked out her IV needle in a blind frenzy. A nurse, catching sight of her wild struggle, quickly restrained her, shouting for a doctor to sedate her. "I want to see Kurt…" … I was at home, recovering, when my phone wouldn't stop ringing. My mother, finally unable to bear the noise, urged me softly. "Who keeps calling? Could it be something urgent?" I glanced at the glowing screen. That number—I could recognize it with my eyes closed.

When will the day where I wake up and say “Ah, what a boring and carefree new day in this life!” I wonder if accepting the Abyss offer of reincarnation was a good idea… I just want to…close my eyes and…Sleep. {Notice, you have reached the peak of level 18 and leveled up to level 19} {Notice, you have reached the peak of level 19 and leveled up to level 20} {Notice, you have reached the peak of level 20 and leveled up to level 21} {Notice, you have reached the peak of level 21 and leveled up to level 22}

Caitlin pushed the heavy, medieval door, and it opened slowly, creaking, encrusted salt falling off in clumps as it did. They walked in together. The entry room was dim, and covered in cobwebs. The air was still and dank, and it felt like it hadn’t been entered in centuries. She looked up at the high, arched stone walls, the stone floors. There were layers of dust on everything, including the glass windows, which blocked a lot of the light, making it seem darker than it was. “This way,” Caleb said.

Nothing she hadn’t seen before. “Damnit Azria, you just had to have the last of it!” She said pissed off. Abigail noticed the throw up on the floor. “I’m not cleaning up your puke. If you can’t handle your shit that’s on you.” Azria didn’t say a word. Usually he was out of the “zombie stage” that happened when it hit your system. But he was absolutely silent.

[Unstable anomaly detected. Dungeon energy surging. Instance is upgrading.] [Welcome back to the Psychiatric Ward.] [Five patients still show no signs of returning to normal. They are beginning to believe they were never the problem. The problem is the world.] [Task: Survive one full day in your patient’s hands.] [Remaining players: 3] [Difficulty: S] The livestream chat exploded. [What just happened? Why is the dungeon leveling up mid-run?] [I only saw Zero and the pet start fighting, then my screen went black!]

After helping Aaron to his feet, I tore the tape off his mouth and brushed the dust from his clothes. Aaron took several deep breaths before finally regaining his composure. "That bastard nearly buried me alive in cement. Good thing Jessica showed up in time. She was livestreaming, so he didn't dare do anything worse. Instead, he just tied me up and brought me here." He pulled a USB flash drive from his pocket. It contained records of Lance's dealing in substandard building materials. By now, North Hill Corporation's commercial construction project had progressed to the point of no return.

The Friction of the Fifty-Fifth Floor By the 55th floor—the "Executive-Node"—the "Total Sector Brownout" began to "Fade." The "Sovereign" backup generators had "Initialized," sending a "High-Frequency" surge of power back into the "Master-Ledger." The lights flickered to life, bathing the "Gilded" hallways in a "Sociopathic" white glare. "The 'Null State' is over," Ethan hissed, pulling Aria into a "Recursive" maintenance closet.
