Introduction: Lucas has been distant for the past year, weighed down by something he can鈥檛 fully explain to the person who means the most to him. Desperate for a solution鈥攐r maybe just an escape鈥攈e turns to Dustspire, a brutal Dive MMO where strength isn鈥檛 measured in levels or stats but built through sheer effort. In Dustspire, every skill must be earned, every ability studied, and nothing is given for free鈥攅xcept a set of clothes and a few silvers.Evelyn has been playing for a year, but when Lucas logs in, she makes a choice鈥攕he deletes everything to start fresh alongside him. He may not talk about what鈥檚 haunting him, but she refuses to stand by and watch him slip away. If he鈥檚 searching for something in Dustspire, she鈥檒l be there to help him find it.Together, they step into a world where only the strong endure, but the greatest battles aren鈥檛 always fought with swords or magic. Sometimes, the hardest fights are the ones you can鈥檛 see.This is a rough draft that I am writing to challenge myself, and to gain constructive feedback. I will try to update regularly, but in the middle of April, I will be undergoing surgery on my left wrist.Thank you in advance and I hope you enjoy....
