Invincible Healer: Taming Her Heart

Neo Ward opens his eyes in a warped corridor that smells of rot mixed with roses. He has been pulled into a game with a 99 percent death rate, and the system bound to him will not let him fight or run. It requires him to court things that are not human: a stitched monster who weeps, a puppeteer who bends time, a lord of the abyss who feeds on fear. Other players break the rules to stay alive. Neo recites love poems to vengeful spirits and dances with skeletons. Failure means being erased. Each success gives him a skill he can use to keep himself alive. At home, his progress in the Azure Order has stalled and his teacher sends him back to his family. The family wants him to marry in Jacob War's place. Neo refuses and says he is already engaged to Maya Reid. The Reid family comes, Jacob proposes to Maya, and Maya turns him down. Neo produces a document in front of her to back up what he said.
