Getting kidnapped by the System and dumped into a fantasy world wasn't on Elias Critchley's to-do list. Still, he's managed to stay alive, level up, and keep most of his insides on the inside. Now the System's sent him and his party to a crumbling estate with a haunted past, a grieving lord, and a boy only Elias can see—one who isn't quite alive, but may not be dead either. The task? Fix it all. Quietly. Preferably without being eaten by anything with too many teeth.

Elias and his friends have made their way to Hepton. Having survived the System's demands so far, they are about to start on the next stage of their adventure.

Testing them, and happy to remind Elias who's really in control. Aside from the quests, the group enters their first instanced-dungeon, and while the rewards might be greater, the tasks in front of them are much tougher.

No wonder dancing became the metaphor for John’s entire life, and for his sometimes hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking three-decade pilgrimage in search of his own dance, with rollicking Peter always nearby, if sometimes disastrously so.
