Hello there, Shade here!

If you're reading this story, there are a few things you'll need to know to ensure that this is truly your cup of tea.

FIRST: PACING

The pace of the story will drag a little in the first arc to establish the aesthetic of the story fully; the dark and gritty atmosphere and the mentality of the people within the Rings outside the Blessed Lands.

After the first arc, the pace will pick up and ramp on but not too much, as the story blooms to becoming wider in scale and detail.

SECOND: DETAIL

The first occurrences and first appearances featuring certain prominent characters are elaborated at length to give their presence a more dynamic and vibrant feel.

This book is very descriptive, so expect clear and vivid pictures of everything painted for you. If this isn't your thing, then please don't read it, instead of complaining in the comments.

Some details are limited from the first arc to not bog it down needlessly such as the racial traits of every character.

THIRD: GENRE

This book is a dark fantasy with heavy themes as well as some rated R material pertaining that one will NOT be warned against. I find it tedious to constantly have to spell it out that this book contains some guarded material in every chapter. Read with that expectation in mind.

FOURTH: CHARACTERS

All main characters have fleshed out backgrounds as well as unique features that you will do well to try to read between instead of casually glossing over it.

This isn't that kind of story.

As I mentioned its a deep rooted fantasy.

The main character's personality and beliefs will be sprinkled over several chapters and his growth will be elaborated quite stringently.

---

I shall be adding more sections for clarity in the future in this chapter and in the other chapters within the auxiliary volume.

I love this story and you may find it to take inspiration from some stories and games, but I guarantee they won't be carbon copy tropes.

It has its fair share of mistakes and unlikeable materials but such is the truth of any story.

Please support if this is your thing!
