Hey there, dear reader.


    I don''t know the story of how you got here, or what you''re like. But I appreciate that you''re here nevertheless.


    This book wasn''t exactly intended to exist.


    It just started out as a daydream of mine, imagining what it would be like had a few select people existed. I loved to read, and oftentimes reading was a way for me to escape reality.


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    You could say they were my imaginary friends. They were how I kept away the loneliness, and in a way were a part of me.


    But as I grew, slowly but surely these people grew up alongside me.


    Soon, a world began to take root from these characters.


    And one day, I decided to make my little dream a reality.


    So in a way, you could say this book is my story.


    Yet you could also say that I''m as much of a reader of this story as you are.


    So thank you for being here, and accompanying me as I watch this little corner of reality blossom.


    I''m looking forward to what''ll happen next in this story we call life.
