"It was on the day the fire consumed everything around me that I understood the true face of the world — cruel, merciless, and indifferent to my tears. But from the bitterness of the ashes, I was reborn, for I was not made to be destroyed... I was made to be free." — Lin Ziyu.

A WARNING TO CULTIVATORS!

Hello, dear reader.

If you've made it this far, first of all, thank you! Secondly, I must warn you that you are about to dive into a world that can both warm your heart and shatter it into a thousand pieces (but, with love, I promise).

Now, before you ask, "But is this a BL romance story?" Well... absolutely. And it shares the stage with epic betrayals, bloody battles, intrigues that would give any strategist a headache, and, of course, a fair dose of questionable decisions made by the characters. After all, UVPE is not a fairy tale — though some characters insist on acting like it is.

You may laugh, cry, roll your eyes, and even want to give advice to the characters (I know, I would too), but in the end, I hope each page brings something special to you.

However, if you're not into this genre, then stay tuned for the release of chapters from my other book: "The Shadows of Alencourt", which is also a very interesting story.

So, settle in comfortably, take a deep breath, and come explore this world of reluctant heroes, charismatic villains, and tough choices. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Yours truly,

Marcos Torres
