I have to say, this book took a completely unexpected turn for me. The title was different, the story was different, set in a universe with different rules. But, as Don Cobb says in Inception:
"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere."
So, I sincerely hope you enjoy this experience—because yes, for me it is quite an experience, an immersion that I myself go through, where I have fun and get emotional just like a reader.
A few notes:
– There are occasional flashbacks.
– Magic is not introduced right at the start.
– The Unique System is lightly inspired by ORV.
– There are a few short, fluid POV shifts during the story for transitions, without taking focus from the main story or protagonist.
– Sometimes, small details mentioned in the initial chapters will become important again. I try my best to minimize anything unnecessary.
