KI's 2023 Write-Off Championship Winner!
Siren is an artist of all trades who fills her time with creation and performance. Zander is an adventurer who is always on the hunt for new challenges and undiscovered wonders. Both are solo acts, beings who make their own way through life and never settle for long in one place or with one person. Both are also immortal in a universe where living forever is a privilege held by very few.
After a chance meeting and a planetwide catastrophe, Siren and Zander agree to work together in an effort to set things right. But when a simple mission goes wrong, these two independent souls might learn that sometimes, even an immortal needs someone else to lean on.

Magic. Math. Not a whole lot of context.
Two months ago, I was a wormhole navigator, ripping open a hole in the universe to save a ship of people who only vaguely tolerated me. Two weeks ago, long story short, I threaded an impossible path through the void between dimensions to crash-land into a dungeon. You know the kind: monsters to defeat, corridors full of traps to avoid, and magical powers to earn.
I'm not ashamed to admit that it's been two weeks of loneliness, fear, adrenaline, and constant injury. But I'll make it out of here by myself if I have to, or my name isn't Adam Leviathan James.
... too bad the Levi doesn't stand for Leviathan, huh.
