Grant Davis

A thin, black line.

It was suspended above him, almost unseeable.

He sat up and peered at it, slowly sliding off the bed to get a better look.

As he moved away and around it, it began to take form and he saw it wasn't just a line, but it was the edge of a circle.

He moved around this mess of inventory and bodies all around until he could see it proper.

And there it was.

A circle suspended in the air with an X inside of it.

On instinct and without thinking about it, he blinked to activate the X. And just like that, Caden had exited the inventory and returned back to the dungeon.

Aww.

He no longer... You're bummed about that?

Yeah.

You want more adventures in the inventory?

He no longer found himself in the cave with all the bodies.

He was in a field surrounded by thousands of crawlers and combatants, all whose eyes were white with the word witness over their head as they looked upwards and grew ever closer, closer, closer until they began crushing him to death.

Steve W., our level 70... Steve W., our level 70 lyrics elf speedwalker, saw the mass, the looming mass of Metis descending down upon him, and he activated hip swivel.

Followed quickly by heel strike, which rolled him away and power slid him across the field 30 meters without ever losing ground contact, which is important if you're a speed walker.

You can never leave contact with the ground or else that's a violation.

Yeah, at that point, your feet are leaving the ground.

It's bad.

He immediately ramped up into a brisk tempo walk away from the demigod.
