Chapter 1: Ch. 1 – Death’s Lover

In a dark cave, Poizon, the poison dragon finally woke up from his slumber, at the same time the torches on the cave walls started to light up, indicating someone has come inside. Challenging him for a battle.

The sounds of her footsteps can be heard throughout the cave walls. As she keeps getting closer and closer.

When the girl gets into view of the dragon, she smirks and pointed her dagger at him.

"Heh, finally I found you. POIZONN! Today is the last day you will be feared. As I, Lara "Kali" Evarissa, will defeat you!!" 

As soon as she finished the dialogue, she dashed straight into the dragon with incredible speed.

The dragon seeing this was furious. Who is this puny human that dares to challenge him alone?

He roars as he draws his arm back, preparing to hit her as soon as she gets into his attack range.

As soon as she gets into his attack range, his gigantic arm swung right into her whole body. Lara failed to respond fast enough and she flew into the cave wall.

The dragon seeing this roars in glee before realizing the smirk on her face. 

The dragon immediately falls into an alert state as he scans his whole body. He found a dagger stabbed right into the scales in his arm. Before he can react the dagger swaps places with the girl. 

He tried to catch her, but that assassin-like outfit wasn't just for show as she danced around the dragon's huge body, before getting on his back and attacking him from his own back.

'Yes! I did it! I cheesed the dragon... Well, for now at least. The real fight starts when this giant lizard gets into his 2nd phase anyway.' Lara thought in her thoughts.

The Dragon roars in pain, he swung his hands around his back, but they never succeed in catching her, hurting him instead. He tried to flatten her by slamming his body to the ground, but the human is too nimble as she maneuvers around his body dodging the ground.

Eventually, the dragon's health falls below 50 percent, marking the beginning of his second phase.

The second phase started with the first magical attack from the dragon. The spell "Liquid Poison" was cast by the dragon.

True to its name, liquid poison starts pouring out of the dragon's pores.

Lara quickly jumps away from the dragon before the liquid can reach her. Not too far though, her plan was already risky enough. The slightest of mistakes will just ruin her run completely.

The duration of "Liquid Poison" eventually runs out, and the liquid that was moving toward Lara suddenly seeps into the ground.

However, the poison dragon's spell-casting journey doesn't stop there. The dragon cast another spell, this time named "Miasma Toxin".

What the spell does is simple.

It buffs the dragon by reducing any incoming damage towards him by 30% and creates a small sphere of miasma dealing damage over time. Both the damage and the area of effect of the miasma gradually grew larger.

Under normal conditions, this is probably the worst spell in the whole game.

The caster can’t do anything while the spell is active, and is easy to outrun.

However, for a dragon with a shit ton of HP in a tight space like a cave.

This spell is the only spell the dragon needed.

There is a way to counter this though. One was to use the help of a priest to purify the poison.

But that need social interaction, and Lara is too afrai- I mean, too good for any social interaction. 

The plan for Lara is simple. She needs to attack the dragon as efficient as possible.

To be as efficient as possible she needs to hit the head of the dragon, but it's easier said than done, since the dragon is in a cocoon position, hiding his head.

However, there's a slight gap between the hitboxes. If she can land an attack through that gap, the attack will land on his head.

Every attack needs to be quick and precise.

After the damage over time increased too much, she will have to get out of the miasma, resetting the damage, chug a regen potion before going back in.

There is no going back now.

"Yolo." She mutters under her breath before going into the miasma.

The plan was going well. It was flawless.

That was until the miasma inevitably took over the entire cave.

There is no more regen as every form of regen is cancelled if you take any damage. And there is no instant health potion.

'Stupid fucking game design.' She thought.

There is only one thing left to do now. Stab as much as she can and hope for the best

"LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shouts Lara in front of her screen.

"Fuck I was so close from dying." Lara was extremely relieved. She hasn't died in this game after all. Not even once.

"Ah, yes the sound of exp. increasing after soloing a boss is so sweet. Ah, don't forget to check the loot. Not having to share always feels nice." Said the stingy person.

"Achievements? Those are rare." She said amused, and pleased. Achievements are rare. since most people has already discovered it, and can only be claimed once by the finders only.

Out of all 3 achievements, one stood out to Lara for seemingly no reason.

She clicks on it first to satisfy her curiosity.

"Death's lover? Weird title." She comments

"You have been in death's door, invites her to your door, danced with her. You have venture to the world of the dead, yet survived. Learned new type of magic, "Necromancy"." She reads out loud.

Her eyes widened reading the text. "HOLY SHIT A NEW TYPE OF MAGIC? EXCLUSIVE JUST FOR ME??" 

Before she can celebrate any further, her surroundings suddenly changed. 

The purple color from the walls of her room suddenly turned into void black. The same for every furniture, even her pc.

She stared right at the void, and the void stared back.

A skeleton hand preventing her to set her gaze away.

And it's gone as fast as it came.

"Hah, hah, hah. What was that?" She panted out.

"Whatever, I'm probably just tired and need some sleep." She said.

She spins her chair and use the rest of her energy to jump from her chair and straight to her bed, completely on muscle memory as she has done this a thousand time.

However, this time she didn't land on her bed, instead she lands on a person.

"Eager, aren't we?" A feminine, yet mature voice, tickled her ears.
