“The most positive of changes comes from people who plant trees whose shade they'll never sit under. you won't stay here forever; the Raven made that pretty clear. So, you'll make something here. Maybe you'll make a house, or a road, or a mine, or a pick, a sewing needle, a loom, a cart, a . You'll make your change, probably only able to guess at the impact it will actually have. You all say today how small things can have great consequences. You'll pour some of yourself into what you make, leaving behind something and gaining even more. When you're done, you'll either be ready to go into the beyond, or be eager to head back into life and experience more.”

“I played a few games myself, back in the days before consoles were ousted by the PC Master Race, and I’ve thought more than once about how these virtual worlds are made of numbers. Ones and zeroes, unless I’m mistaken. But think about this for a moment: what about the unseen particles that make up the human body? The atoms that make up everything we see and feel? Is it not true that the closer we look, the less we see? It’s not the collection of atoms that matter, but the man, yet the atoms are the matter that make the man. Can the same logic not be applied to the world we’re in now? Shanawan is made of numbers, but it’s not the numbers that matter: it’s Shanawan. If my cells malfunction I get sick and die. If the numbers falter we get glitches and lag. When we look at a landscape we see a landscape, not atoms. When we look at Shanawan we see Shanawan, not numbers. The two aren’t on the same level, yet they aren’t entirely dissimilar. The game is both fantasy and reality. Not too different from man.”

“Myriam gritted her teeth and extinguished every one of her thoughts except one: glory. She roared with the fury of every woman who had ever been scorned by the world of man, and even though she wanted nothing more than to hold her wife, she forced her mind to stoically accept the present moment and filled herself with fearless rage. “Come, Hunter! Come and taste my blades and know that you are not the most terrifying monster on Earth. I am!” Myriam screamed, her rasping voice a trophy proving that Hunters had every right to fear her.”

“A part of me tried to fabricate reasons in my mind why it was too dangerous, or why it couldn’t be possible. But I knew the truth — there was a part of me that was just afraid of change. And another part that was afraid of losing what made me special. I’d risked my life for that attunement. Was it really fair for others to get them for free? Perhaps even any attunement of their choice? But that was an inherently selfish line of thinking.”

“But do you know what happens in a couple days?” I asked. “The floor collapses,” she said. “Yes. But it is only you who dies when this happens. For us we go to sleep until the next dungeon opens. We will open our eyes, and it will be the same as it has been. Just another day. But one of these days, one of these days we will wake up, and we will be deeper. That’s what they tell us. Kill the crawlers, get better at killing, and you get to go deeper. And one day, eventually, we will be so deep that crawlers will never come, and we will finally have peace. We will have peace and a place to live and breed and have our little ones run free and not worry about killing for survival.”

“That's a relief," I admitted. "So, you're aware...does that mean you were a criminal back home?" "Yes." "And?" "And what?" "What were you convicted of?" I asked. "Ah. Improper use of resources." "Right...What did you do?" "I destroyed the sun." "WHAT?" I practically screamed. "I jest." "I fucking hope so! What did you do?" "We were volunteers," it said.”

“It's not fair! I wanted to be the master halfling thrower!" Steve complained. Suddenly the air distorted and Steve was thrown over the wall, falling down the inner castle wall. Dave coughed and put a card down as there was a loud metal on stone impact. "I'm okay!" Steve yelled back up. "Seems like these floors are getting slippery," Lox commented. "Very slippery. One might fall once or twice on them," Gurren agreed. "Dave," Deia said with a low voice, looking to her husband, who looked like a paragon of virtue. "Those falls are dangerous," Dave said. "Yes, I hope they don't happen again," Deia said.”

“Darkness fell. It wasn’t the usual darkness that came with the end of day, carrying a hint of warmth, however faint. Nor was it the darkness of midnight, wrapped in silent peace, disturbed only by the occasional rustle of leaves in the cold wind. It wasn’t the comforting darkness found moments before sleep, safe and warm in your bed, for that darkness holds the promise of a new day and new light. No, this was a void, an emptiness found only in lost places and forgotten times. Heavy and oppressive, it seeped into the soul, turning every heartbeat into a thunderous echo. And this darkness belonged to one man.”
