"There's a difference. Pushing is aggressive. Not being present is just... abandonment dressed up as respect." "I don't know how to do this," I said. "Just move," Eli said. "Just let your hand touch mine. It's not a decision that needs strategy. It's just proximity. It's just connection." I turned my hand, and our fingers made contact on the counter. Not hands held. Just fingertips touching. Just that small acknowledgment of physical presence. The moment stretched. "I'm sorry," I said. "I know," Eli said. "But sorry isn't enough anymore. You need to show me that you're actually choosing this."

I was lying in bed inside the nurse's office, still in my soccer uniform. "Thank God you're alive! We thought we killed you!" Terrence was sitting on a chair beside my bed, munching on a double-patty burger. "Seriously, are you okay? You were spacing out in the middle of training. We were yelling at you multiple times, but you just stood there." I placed a hand on my aching forehead only to find it taped up with gauze. I got my things and raced to my car while I was trying to call Psyche, but then I saw her get into Charlotte's car before it sped off.

Looking at his pathetic state, I felt nothing but cold emptiness inside. No satisfaction. No victory. Just... nothing. Kieran's face went through shades of green and white - absolutely hideous. "You heard her," Garrett said into his phone. "Yes, Alpha Council emergency line. Territorial violation in progress." The security guards moved forward. This time Kieran didn't resist. "This isn't over, Phoebe," he said as they escorted him out. "Yes, it is," I replied without looking up from my computer.

“You’re awake. Good thing, I’ll leave the two of you,” “What am I doing here?” Tobi looked at me pissed. “You pass out in the middle of the road. In front of my car,” He said. “Oh.” “Oh?! Is that all you can say?” “What do you want me to say?” I asked. He looked at me irritated and from his looks, he wanted to yell at me but he didn’t. He took a deep breath and said, “Any family or guardian I can call or inform them about your condition?” I quickly shook my head.

Since I was playing solo right now, every time I died, I would respawn outside of the Boss’s Dungeon. The only way I could contact Luka inside the game was by messaging him. Only when I was outside of the game was I able to talk to him directly. He kept giving me advice on how to deal with the Boss, but it didn’t help. Even with the aid of our pet Hope and the fairy we acquired on level six, I continued to struggle.

“We don't know where it came from.” I watched him examine the pendant before noticing something engraved on the back. My name. SERAPHINA VALE. I stepped closer. There was another line beneath it, so small that I almost missed it. Adrian turned the pendant slightly, allowing the light from the candle to fall across the engraving. Four words appeared beneath my name. You have already died once. For several seconds, I could only stare at the message. I had known that. At least, I thought I had.

Sarah paused, then continued, "Before, you were always worrying about Damon. Now you finally have your own life." I was deeply grateful that my few friends all stood by my side. They were my greatest treasure from the Silvermoon pack. Halfway through the meal, Kane suddenly stood up. "I need to take a communication call. I'll be right back." He walked toward the restaurant's communication room. Ten minutes passed, and Kane still hadn't returned. I was getting worried and about to look for him when I heard a familiar voice at the entrance. "This restaurant has such a nice atmosphere." It was Lydia's voice.

He plans to use the Dead players! “Catch the ball!” he immediately commands, however he was already too late. Player 18 managed to catch the ball and in instant he threw it at them. Hitting two persons at the back. Everyone was dumbfounded, no one even think they have a plan like this and moreover Player 18 could threw the ball well! Was it just a fluke? Or he, himself pretends to be lamed? “Dead Player 18 hit player 24 and player 20. You've been revived. Please go back to "alive" area.” Professor Akihiro announced again.

On the top are the instructions: “Pick Opponent” Mrs. Lapuz wrings her hands and types on the keyboard. Her multi-colored words float in a tiny line on the lower left corner of the screen.

“Lucien!” I slammed the coffee table, breaking it in two without even feeling the action being executed. I watched as the food slowly came together, mixing solid and liquid in the center. Suddenly, everything returned to normal. I looked intensely at my hands, astonished by such power. Trembling, I tried fervently to push away the fear, as it was an endless source of obstacles. Desperately wanting to feel that again, I advanced and stood in front of the large mirror by the exit. “Wolf, do you want to bring your human back safe and sound? Rise, come, let’s claim him, protect him.”
