Five days until the world ends.

She plays by the book. He’s never read it.
I did not barricade myself in a bathroom for nothing.
— May, chapter oneZenix Online resets at 6 PM Friday. Levels, gear, classes — all of it will be wiped clean in an upcoming expansion. The new world belongs to whoever steps through the gate to claim it, and May’s guild intends to be first.
As a high school sophomore in the top of her class, May’s used to making plans and seeing them through. But when her duel with Finn goes unresolved, so does the lingering tension.
She plays by the book. He’s never read it.
Every rule she follows, he breaks, and still lands on his feet. Somehow. Worst of all, he knows exactly how to get under May’s skin.
Neither planned on becoming the one the other couldn’t ignore. But getting closer also brings new risks. The risk of letting someone down. The risk of getting left behind. Some promises are easier to keep at midnight than noon. And maybe it’s easier to burn the whole world down than watch it move on without you.
A dual-POV story about rivalry, yearning, and the spaces between our real lives.
What’s left when the thing you thought made you real gets wiped clean?
