- Hello?
- Hum h-hello, Nathan?
- Ah Patience, thanks for calling.
- Yes well, I certainly.. owe you that much f-for saving my life, al-although Im m not s-sure what you… expect me to…
- I talked to the others and I know there are more of those things out there.
- Those, uh th-things you say?
- You know what I mean. The Eaters? Your flesh eating kidnapers?
- Enough!
- …
- Sorry, habit. Hmm. Ass-ssuming you are.. right, what do you expect me to do exactly? Im… just a nurse.
- Just a nurse huh? By the way I talked to Sarah recently, she said that the doctors are all dazzled by her incredible recovery. They say she should have bled to death before she reached help, and that when I talked to her in the ER she should have been deeply asleep. They were amazed. A real miracle. You wouldn’t know anything about that would you?
- Do not talk about miracles s-so lightly. Faith can d-do a… lot.
- Ah yes, but here faith had a helping hand. Have you noticed anything unusual about you recently? Related to your care of patients.
- . I.. Huh. I d…dont know where you are going with this.
- Where Im going is that there are other eaters out there and they need to be stopped. I’m trying to get a group together. If you can do what I believe you can do you would be a huge help to us.
- I appreciate what you are doing, Mr Nathan, I truly do, but I have a husband and five kids and more patients than I can shake a stick at and I will not drop all of this to go hunting demons with you. I am not a warrior.

- I should have worked on my pitch, I assumed that it would be easy to convince you guys.
- You c… You called Seren too?
- Yes she rejected my offer.
- I am s-sorry Mr Nathan but I c… really can’t… help you. My husband threw a f-fit when he opened your package. I am still trying to ca- to calm him down, he thinks I’m in trouble.
- Maybe he should learn boundaries, that package had your name on it, not his.
- I d’… I dont appreciate your lessons.
- Ok fine, whatever. Just remember that the eaters kidnapped you on purpose and there are still other out there. You do your things and keep this phone at hand for when they come back, ok? Because they will
- I… Yes. I will. Im sorry… Nathan. I can see you really want to help. I will pray for you, but I’m sure the police will protect us if those… Things… come back.
- We both know they are not equipped to protect you against that. Keep the phone at hand. Goodbye Patience.
- Wait! Are they.. Are those things demons?
- Not in the way you mean. If you change your mind you know how to reach me.

Trial of Champions
It all began with a family trip to an amusement park. How were any of us to expect being transported from Earth to participate in some "Trial of Champions," whatever that was supposed to be? Given only an hour to choose the Classes that would come to define our strengths, we were almost immediately torn away from one another and thrust into a deadly game of survival. It wasn't all bad, though, as terrifying as it could be from time to time. The supernatural and magical powers of the Classes were like something out of an RPG, complete with leveling up by killing monsters and completing so-called "Sub-Trials." And despite the juicy Experience to be gained from killing other Champion Contestants, not all of the participants were bloodthirsty murderers; some could be allied with, or even befriended. Even if it seemed like everyone who had been chosen for this Trial, no matter what universe they came from, was at least a little bit crazy. I would survive this till the end, and I'd make sure that my siblings and parents did as well, no matter how many times we were separated from one another. No matter how long it took. No matter what I had to do. --- A first-person litRPG incorporating classes inspired by D&D and other sources. If you like blue boxes but don't need to have huge lists of numbers to scratch your itch, you should be satisfied on that front. Each chapter is, in my word processing document, seven pages long (approximately 3300-3900 words). The Traumatizing Content warning is there because of discussions of certain topics. Nothing that I think deserves the warning actually happens in the story.
