Chapter 1: The Sword as Red as Blood

The world runs on levels.
Status. Power. Survival.
Most people never break past 100.
Trixie is level 846 - and no one knows.
She doesn't trust easily. Not others. Not herself.
With two friends and a weapon that reflects what she longs to feel, she moves through a society obsessed with numbers.
Then she meets him.
A man who doesn't want to rise.
He wants to burn it all down.

Work in progress.
