Hello and thank you for choosing The Vial Of Hypnos! I promise you will not be disappointed with the content that lies ahead. However, before you begin, there are a few important things that I should point out about the story.
1. The story isn't necessarily modern or medieval. It's a slight mix of both. I'm straying from our real-life timeline with how things progressed with technology. There are powers and other abilities in the book so I always believed that technology should develop differently when compared to real life since there are different circumstances surrounding society. However, the timeline will seem more medieval than modern. Just with some tweaks.
2. You will come across a few strange words and phrases that you're not familiar with as readers. However, these aren't explained at the beginning to prevent an info dump. Instead, you learn more about what these terms mean as you continue through the story. But I also give hints to let the reader have a basic understanding of what the words mean so they don't get confused. It is readable so I believe everything should be okay.
Those are the two most important points for me to point out. Thank you for taking the time to read it through! Go ahead and dive in!
PS: I love using foreshadowing and hints in the story. A lot of these are hidden in some of the terms that I use throughout the story.
Hint: Some words are Latin translated. Translate them to English and there's a chance you'll get a hint as to what they're foreshadowing. (If not, that's fine if you want to be more surprised when plot twists and other important events come around.)
