I narrowed my eyes at him and caught glimpse of a guy, standing in a corner and what’s weird is that he wasn’t dancing. He seemed different and odd for all this. He’s looking in my direction, very still and I can see him intermittently. The hat makes it harder to discern. Except for the creepy, fiendish smile, raising the edges of his mouth real slowly. I squinted my eyes at him. He tugged his hat from the right, an expression of a muted Hi! I nodded reflexively and opened my mouth to call Frank, who was busy with stuffing ice cubes in two glasses of beer. “Hey!” I called with my hurting head. “What?” he asked the glasses. “Who’s that? Someone new?” I pointed at him. Frank gave up the stuffing and looked in his direction. “Haven’t seen him before” he said with confusion. . . .

Or she's hallucinating like others say? . . . "Is someone there?", I moped around the dim-litted living room. "Guess it's just me. I'm making excuses to cease. No, Elijah! You have to finish this up!". As I ascended three steps, I realized a change in the air pressure around me, an odd creak and a clear presence of heat_ behind me. My breath abated.

Twelve months ago, the world fractured. Rifts opened in the sky and spewed monsters into the streets. The old governments collapsed within weeks as the world burned. Soon, certain people awakened to magical abilities. The awakened took control of the ruins. They conquered the rifts and claimed the beast cores to level up their own power. Kai was a lowly porter, hired to carry loot for elite hunters inside deadly rifts. When his team encountered a powerful boss monster, they didn’t fight, they sacrificed him. Betrayed and thrown to his death, Kai was meant to be nothing more than another forgotten casualty of a broken world. But instead of dying, he awakens at the heart of the very rift that killed him. Reborn as its master. Now, the monsters obey his will. The dungeon bends to his command. Every hunter who enters becomes prey and every death fuels his growing power. The same elites who once looked down on him are returning, greedy for easy rewards. They still think this is just another dungeon. They have no idea what’s waiting for them. Because this time, Kai isn’t the one being hunted. He’s the one setting the traps. And when the doors close, no one is getting out alive
