Meanwhile, on Earth.....
A woman sat alone in a small apartment after work. Her glasses rested low on her nose as she stared intensely at the book in her hands.
Her laptop was open in front of her, but she had stopped scrolling several minutes ago.
She barely noticed the time. She barely noticed the sounds outside. She was completely absorbed in the story.
The novel was her favorite. It was a fantasy romance novel set in a strange world where there were no women.
Only men.
Handsome men.
Powerful men.
Kings.
Dragonkin.
Vampires.
Elves.
Wolves.
And countless other races.
The entire world revolved around the mysterious Lightpool and the legendary Woman of Prophecy.
The woman reading the novel had been obsessed with it for a year now. She had read it countless times. Every time she got bored, she would open the book and reread her favorite scenes.
It was just a book she had picked up one day, written by an unknown author who only used the initial "V."
