The Fearless Chapter 2

[Player: Maya Rivers]

[Sanity: 100]

One player dead right at the start—that created serious psychological trauma for everyone else.

But I felt absolutely nothing. Because I was born without the ability to feel fear. I literally didn't know what being scared meant.

My biggest life goal was to experience fear just once. I was trembling, sure—but from excitement!

"Everyone, listen up. From what I know, in these multi-player death dungeons, the more players die, the stronger the demons become."

"So for teams, I suggest veterans pair with rookies. That'll minimize death risk."

A tall man stepped forward. His name was Derek Stone, a high-level player who'd cleared Nightmare-difficulty dungeons. His confidence immediately made everyone feel safer.

"Amitabha. This humble nun will take one fated soul with her."

A middle-aged woman in gray monk's robes stepped forward.

Players could see each other's ranks. She showed as "Master" level, same tier as Derek, meaning they'd both cleared high-level Nightmare dungeons.

And me? I was the only complete rookie among the 36 players.

"Oh my God! It's Derek Stone and Sister Crimson! These two legends together? Maybe we actually have a chance!"

"Derek baby, take me with you~ I'll listen to everything you say, I'll give you anything~"

"Sister Crimson, I'm your fated person! As long as you get me out alive, money's no problem!"

Plenty of young, attractive female players crowded around Derek, while wealthy players all begged Sister Crimson for help.

As a clueless rookie, there was no way anyone would team up with me.

I couldn't be bothered looking for a partner anyway. I just took off running straight for the apartment.

Other players snapped to attention, quickly forming pairs and rushing toward the building, competing for the lower, safer floors.

[Wait, why is that Maya girl running up to the second floor? Doesn't she know the first floor is safest?]

[No wait, she's still going up! Does this idiot think higher floors are safer? Hahaha, so dumb!]

I only had one thought: I had to grab the most terrifying floor, or how else would I experience fear?

So I sprinted all the way to the top—the eighteenth floor!
