Potential is but a tool, derived from experience and used in pursuit of greater heights.

Pain once more courses through my body as a wave of light flows from the blue screen into my eyes.
Seconds later and the pain had abruptly vanished.
I sat down on the ground. Squatting softly I fell back into the wall as I collected myself.
slowly resting my head I tried to understand what I was feeling in that moment.
Pent up feelings from last night had been building in me, for lack of a better word, I was terrified.
What am I supposed to do?
I know that none of this is my fault, but the guilt weighs so heavily on me.
Was it my fault?
I know I could have stopped the suicidal episode which resulted in his death, but I still can't figure out why I did nothing.
Sitting there as the howls of dying surround me I barely composed myself again.
I was still terrified, and had no clue what to do next, but it was not a crippling fear like before.
The roar of a beast rumbled down the hallway.

...Fuck this shit
I dashed down the hall as a timer starts on the prompt.
10...
Desperately trying to escape the message, I pray that it has an effective range that I can exit.
9...
The hall ways are different here. I had chemistry here before, now the wing is replaced with more student dorms.
8...
Running
5...
Dead end. I have to backtrack.
4...
Panic Sets in and I hear a few alerts through the system.
3...
No time to check it.
2...
"HELP" I yell.
time slows as I round the last corner.
I can see it there, an outer rim of a glowing circle. The end of the effective range.
Dan, Christine, Damian, and Terrance also see the barrier, and call out to me as the light once again rips me away into the event dungeon.

The Dead Lands
Jaden Harris is a professional card player, playing the trading card game Magigio. That is until he wakes up drunk in a field with no idea where he is. The addition of a shy french maiden who barely speaks english, and a fiery red-head with a black belt compound his problems. Not to mention that the world has ended, and the afterlife is run by a cartoon paperclip. Will Jaden be able to survive the end of the world, learn magic, and deal with the cruel whims of a sarcastically cheerful god-like being? Note: Anything posted here is essentially the rough draft for a book that will eventually be posted to amazon/kindle unlimited. I apologize for any spelling/grammar issues, they'll be sorted out when my editor/wife does the editing. Extra note: the stat pages are intended to be red, but there is no color option on the text editor for this website. As a result, they default to black. Sorry, I'm doing the best I can with what I have.
