The Leveling of Humanity Chapter 11: The Trials of Stone & Thought. Content Warning.
Chapter 11: The Trials of Stone & Thought The corridor stretched ahead of them, its walls narrowing just enough to force the three of them into a single-file line. The flickering torches cast uneven light, their flames dancing wildly with each step. Shadows stretched unnaturally across the rough stone, making it difficult to tell if something was shifting just out of sight or if it was simply their minds playing tricks on them.

The Leveling of Humanity Ch 10: Goblin Ambush
Chapter 10: Goblin Ambush The chamber loomed before them, the air thick with the musty scent of damp stone and something fouler—rot. Chase halted, his pulse quickening as he surveyed the dimly lit space. The dungeon’s architecture had taken on a more ominous design, with deep shadows pooling in the corners where the flickering torchlight failed to reach.

The level-up screen hovered before each of them as they gathered in the middle of the room. The group took a moment to breathe in satisfaction from their first combat encounter before addressing their pending level-up statuses. Finally, Chase sat down and pulled up the screen, ready to proceed.

The Leveling of Humanity Ch 6: Tactical Map
Chase and his companions now stood in a stone chamber as the glow faded. Stone bricks and blocks lined the floors, walls, and ceiling. Three doorways were visible in the center of each of the three divisions. The room formed a perfect square, but no opening was behind them.

The Leveling of Humanity Ch 5: Welcome to the Tutorial Tower
As the group made their way toward the tower, they had to park and continue forward on foot. Emily and Sofie discussed the merits of using a machete over a bat after they'd passed by another van vendor selling metal bats to people in line. Chase was feeling increasingly apprehensive as they approached the tower, and Gary seemed to sense this as he leaned close to him.

The Leveling of Humanity Ch 4
The sight of the stone tower pushing up from an innocuous field was undoubtedly exciting, but the group still had a way to go before they could reach the location, and as they got close, they could not approach due to the crowds of people gathered. Military on one half setting up a strong perimeter and slowing the flow, civilians on the other trying to rush into the tower. They listened to the news as they reported on what was happening, and hour by hour crept by as they slowly moved through the heavy traffic.

The Leveling of Humanity CH 3
Chase and Emily were the first to leave the parked car and start into the open field full of glowing orbs. Gary and Sofie came behind them, excitedly rushing into the open area. They all ran to one of the glowing spheres and crushed one. Chase was startled as a notification appeared in the bottom right of his vision.

The Leveling of Humanity CH 2
Chase was ushered out of the house by Emily and brought to her familiar light blue Honda. He was surprised to see two people waiting in the back seat. There sat a girl with long dark hair, glasses, and a book in her lap. Beside her sat a guy with short blonde hair. Despite the heat, he wore a long-sleeved flannel shirt and smiled excitedly as the pair approached. They climbed into the car, and Emily immediately started the engine while gesturing to the duo in the back with her free hand.
